Believe it or not. But forbidden love stories often end up in marriages. While the true halal love stories begin with marriage and end in The Paradise together...
A lot of youth want to get married. But the issue that the majority of them put forward is:
"I need to get to now him/her. How am I meant to get to know the person when I dun even go out with him/her? How the hell am I supposed to survive with the same person throughout my life when I dun even the person's favourite color or food? Wont I get bored? It isn't my thing surviving with the same person."
While on the contrary the ones who are in relation already would instead go like:
"I know its haram. But I love him/her."
Well! Well! Well! Guys what's the point of haram relationships when YOUR tomorrow itself isn't promised? Imagine the person whom you love so dearly passes on the next day. I know I sound a bit harsh. But isn't that like the last first thing that both of you would be judged on? If you allow that person to be punished on The Resurrection Day, then that "love" of yours isn't love at all!
Love is selfless. Love is caring. Love is having mercy for each other. When you love someone you want the best for them.. And you know what? The biggest problem when you are in a haram relationship, your love isn't exactly the ''best" thing for the person. And you wanna know why? The answer is quite simple. The life is transient. It has gotta end. Either today or tomorrow. But however, it shall end. And your so-called romantic "love" shall end in hatred. Hatred to an extent that the person will ask and beg The Lord Almighty to throw YOU in the deepest trenches of the Hell fire instead of him/her! Sounds unconvincing eh? ;) Ill give ya the proof.
Allah (SWT) says in The Holy Quran, "(Friends/Lovers who had forbidden relationships ) on that day will be the foes to one another except Al-Muttaqun (those who fear Allah)" [43:67]
Whether you are married and living with you husband, or you in a haram relationship. Love that is not for the sake of Allah will never benefit you in any manner. Love that traps you. Love that distracts you from your purpose. Love that indulges between your relationship with your Lord is destruction. Besides, how can you be so sure that your little cozy "dating" would surely result in a marriage? 'Cuz if it doesn't then you are surely ruining a life forever mate. I ain't saying that Islam is against love! Its just that, it makes love purer and more realistic. Placing your heart and trust in your Creator directs you to the person who's meant for you. Who's the best for you. There is lust before the marriage and love after the marriage. Love before the marriage is more often than quite not, an illusion.
Love in Islam is a madness that begins with marriage and not the madness that ends with marriage. Love isn't something that you need to run after. If it is really meant for you, it'll find its way. Have faith in the King of the Kings 'cuz your life's love story isn't written by some movie producer or director. It's infact written by the Director of the directors. What can be more special than that eh? ;)
I'll end my article with a short halal story that really grips me every time I read it ^_^
"He finished his prayer and walked over to his wife. He sat down with her and took her hands. He began to read something while he held her fingers
She asked, "What are you doing?" He answered,"I finished my prayers and got ready to do tasbih so we can share the ajar. Because I wanna be with you in Jannah."
Really! What can be cuter than that?
