PREMARITAL RELATIONSHIP

Assalam alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuhu
 
Brothers and sisters in eeman. May Allah bless us and safeguard us all
Is someone here to respond to my salam?
Alhamdulillah for yet another day and as always I am here to humbly share with you some piece of advice.
Which I believe will be of benefit to me and to you as well as the umma at large
 
Surely, there is non who deserves any form of worship from us except Allah and prophet Mohammed is the messenger and slave of Allah.Our topic for today's discussion as already known is premarital relationship
Literary premarital relationship m eans relationship before marriage but in context, it is the relationship between the opposite sex who are not mahram to each other with the aim of marrying in future.
In is Islam premarital relationship is haram, meaning forbidden
 
And all Muslims is advised to desist from such behavior
In fact every type of pre marital relationship is regarded as prohibited hence zina.
This includes talking to ones future spouse through telephone, Skype or internet chatting. We are all aware why there is the need to prevent oneself from mingling with the opposite sex
It is a way of guarding one from falling into temptation of of zina and losing one's chastity
Not only to prevent from the physical zina and the zina of the part of the body but Al's Allah and his messenger made it a clear haram
 In fact to be in circulation with a non mahram , the prophet said the third in your mids is the shaitaan
It is not even permissible for a man who believes in Allaah and His Messenger to put his hand in the hand of a women who is not permissible for him or who is not one of his mahrams. Whoever does that has wronged himself (i.e., sinned).
It was narrated that Maqil ibn Yassaar said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.
 
Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer , 486.
Shaykh al-Albaani said in Saheeh al-Jaami , 5045, that this hadeeth is saheeh.
This hadeeth alone is sufficient to deter and to instill the obedience required of us by Allaah, because it implies that touching women may lead to temptation and immorality.It was narrated that Maqil ibn Yassaar said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.

What we normally use as an excuse to support our premarital relationship is that we are studying each other.
A man brought a complain about his girlfriend to a sheikh and the sheikh ask him that why are you even dating her for the first place?,  and the man responded I am studying her.
The sheikh said to him " I have married for 11 yes now and I'm still studying my wife"
You will never be able to study each other before marriage
 
The real behavior starts immediately after marriage
 Love before marriage is allowed in Islam but should follow the right way
Meaning should involve the families immediately
If we are using the excuses that we will marry in future therefore we are studying ourselves and are sure of staying from sex then
We are doing but harm to ourselves
Mingling with those men who are non- mahrams , that is, eligible to be married, the risk is always there that one or the other will become vulnerable and will incline towards the other outside of the framework of a marital contract.
Think about it. If you have come of age recently, you know that with the onset of puberty you experienced distinct and profound changes in your body. Among those changes were an increased awareness of your own sexuality and the occurrence of wet dreams, or nocturnal emissions.
With hormones raging and very new and intense feelings of sexual stimulation, sometimes brought on by the least provocation, it is possible that a young person will become preoccupied with thinking about sex, even if he or she takes no action to actually attempt to relieve his or her sexual tension.
The fact of the matter is, sexual desires become pronounced and you might have experience mixed emotions, including confusion, guilt, and outright shame.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) understood human development well.
In a teaching narrated to us by `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud, (may Allah be pleased with him)the Prophet admonished young people thus, O young men! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e., his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power. (Al-Bukhari)
It is discourage for marriage to be delayed in Islam
 
Why then premarital relationship
If we are to say the truth, how many premarital relationship end up in marriage
How many women married their "first lovers"
We date each other and give them sex, kisses, romances and later you see them crying as if they have received a slap from a stubborn soldier man saying broken heart
 
My sister who sent you there?
It is already late so we will end by saying
There is no room for boy girl relationship before marriage in islam
Allah states in sura al maedah;
ﻭَﺍﻟْﻤُﺤْﺼَﻨَﺎﺕُ ﻣِﻦَ ﺍﻟْﻤُﺆْﻣِﻨَﺎﺕِ ﻭَﺍﻟْﻤُﺤْﺼَﻨَﺎﺕُ ﻣِﻦَ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻜِﺘَﺎﺏَ ﻣِﻦ ﻗَﺒْﻠِﻜُﻢْ
(lawful for you are) the chaste from among the believing women and the chaste from among those who have been given the Scripture before you.......
 
Then Allah stipulates a condition, a condition that must be fulfilled for women to be lawful for men;
ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺁﺗَﻴْﺘُﻤُﻮﻫُﻦَّ ﺃُﺟُﻮﺭَﻫُﻦَّ
when you have given them their due(dowry)
👆🏽here Allah makes it clear that men and women are lawful for one another when the dowry has been given as agreed by their parents/guardians.
Allah states in sura al maedah;
ﻭَﺍﻟْﻤُﺤْﺼَﻨَﺎﺕُ ﻣِﻦَ ﺍﻟْﻤُﺆْﻣِﻨَﺎﺕِ ﻭَﺍﻟْﻤُﺤْﺼَﻨَﺎﺕُ ﻣِﻦَ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﺃُﻭﺗُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟْﻜِﺘَﺎﺏَ ﻣِﻦ ﻗَﺒْﻠِﻜُﻢْ

Then Allah stipulates a condition, a condition that must be fulfilled for women to be lawful for men;
ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺁﺗَﻴْﺘُﻤُﻮﻫُﻦَّ ﺃُﺟُﻮﺭَﻫُﻦَّ

👆🏽here Allah makes it clear that men and women are lawful for one another when the dowry has been given as agreed by their parents/guardians.
Allah makes a law, human beings came with another law that you can be permissible for one another in boyfriending and girlfriending. So are you insinuating that Allah's law is not sufficient for you?, that man made laws are better of?, that Allah should hold his jannah and you will hold up to duniya whilst you are in need of his mercy?.
 
The verse continues....
ﻣُﺤْﺼِﻨِﻴﻦَ ﻏَﻴْﺮَ ﻣُﺴَﺎﻓِﺤِﻴﻦَ
desiring chastity not illegal inter course
What do you desire in that relationship?. Do you desire chastity?, for indeed chaste and pure women, honorable women are not found in such. Allah says concerning slave girls; 👇🏼
ﻓَﺎﻧْﻜِﺤُﻮﻫُﻦَّ ﺑِﺈِﺫْﻥِ ﺃَﻫْﻠِﻬِﻦَّ
so marry them(slave girls) with the permission of their master
Briefly :
1 ) You meet a brother /sister through work/school/recommendation/ family .
 
2 ) Your father picks up the phone and speaks to the potential ' s family
 
3 ) They shoot the breeze and express interest
 
4 ) Family goes over to the potentials , exchange pleasantries , get to know each other whilst the brother and sister nervously exchange awkward questions about their eemaan , values , future plans and life in general
 
5 ) Everyone prays their istikhaara and , if it turns out good , you pick up the phone and, in one form or other , say " i ' m on dis ting "
 
 
6 ) You ' ll go over to the potential ' s house once more and perhaps enjoy a less stifled conversation and get to know each other some more. . . all in the presence of a mahram or closely monitored supervision ( CCTV and a mic on the girl ' s hijaab should do the trick)😁
 
 
7 ) Pray istikhaara some more and, if things are still all fine and dandy , exchange a couple of emails whilst either copying in the girl ' s mahram or at least ensuring things are being checked out on her side . This will serve to curtail shaytaan ' s whispers telling you to drop some ' game ' and super sweet lines . Save that for after marriage , man.
 
8 ) Pray some more and , eventually , you ' ll get married. And the rest, as they say, is history . . .
 
 
And I guess the courtship ends there.
And Allah knows best
Forgive me for my shortfalls
May Allah bless you all
Wa salam alaikum warahmatullah
