Dating in Islam comes with a unique concept. You would find a 40-year-old woman, but neither is she married nor did she ever date anyone. You would also find a 45-year-old Muslim man, but he never had any sexual relations before. Oh wow, imagine the strength it takes to become like that! It\u2019s a very strong will, hah!<\/p>\n

Is It Haram to Date before Marriage in Islam?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes, it\u2019s haram (impermissible) to date in Islam in the traditional sense of dating. However, there are rules for making halal dating.<\/p>\n

Once a man even promised a woman of engagement, he must commit. Imagine when it comes to an actual relation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are Boyfriends and Girlfriends in Islam Acceptable?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No! The idea of boyfriends and girlfriends is not acceptable in Islam. Let\u2019s understand why?<\/p>\n

Many studies and lab tests demonstrate that nothing is called just friends between a man and a woman. There\u2019s always a situation of \u201cwaiting\u201d for the chance, that\u2019s all. Watch this video to understand how both men and women look at each other.<\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t have a long-term relationship with the opposite sex based on \u201cjust friends\u201d \u201cjust working colleagues\u201d or \u201cjust studying group\u201d. Furthermore, not as just a \u201croommate\u201d!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not going to continue this way. Over time, and once getting too much into the other\u2019s details, how he\/she drinks coffee, how he\/she itches, renting-a-house-problem he\/she has in their life, you turn to be the saviour!<\/p>\n

Is It Halal to Kiss before Marriage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No, it is\u00a0not halal<\/strong>\u00a0(Not permissible) to kiss before marriage. Touching a woman is a huge issue that takes from the man reserving her full rights.<\/p>\n

In case this action happened even during engagement and before marriage, it\u2019s considered as minor adultery. You have to sincerely repent and do extra good deeds, especially prayers so that they erase the bad ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why can\u2019t Muslims date?<\/h2>\n

Muslims can\u2019t date because dating is not allowed in Islam for many reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Our Creator who understands us well sets limits between men and women.<\/li>\n
  2. There are no \u201cCasual Relationships\u201d in Islam.<\/li>\n
  3. Marriage in Islam is called \u201cThe Heavy Pact\u201d or \u201cSolemn Covenant\u201d.<\/li>\n
  4. Islam saves souls from the hell of investing emotions in the wrong place. From one relationship to another, your heart is to be torn apart.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Muslims Got the Best Fertility Rates out of Marriage, Not Fake Dating<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Actually, some of the \u201cfastest-growing religions in the world\u201d statistics about Islam suggested that Islam is spreading because of the high fertility rates. That means:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Healthy families stay enough together to have more babies.<\/li>\n
    • Healthier society and a long-living human race.<\/li>\n
    • Avoiding the aging problems killing industries in European communities and making them have to accept more young Muslim refugees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How To Avoid Falling Into Haram Dating in Islam?<\/h2>\n

      When you do the following conditions, you are supposed to be able to get rid of dating if you are Muslim:<\/p>\n

      1. Lowering gaze:<\/h3>\n

      It\u2019s a huge deal to avoid looking in the first place, it takes a lot of training, maybe years until you can make it. Not looking means not thinking about it means you could forget all about sex for long days and months, and a huge relief.<\/p>\n

      2. Fasting:<\/h3>\n

      When you\u00a0fast\u00a0(the Muslim way, to stop eating and drinking from dawn to sunset), you simply restrain your desires, you control them.<\/p>\n

      3. Avoid mixed meetings:<\/h3>\n

      Islam is actually inviting people to mix and to know each other in order to make the world a better place, but as long as you\u2019re not married, avoid mixed\u2013male\/female- meetings and gatherings, it brings the subject up to your head again and again.<\/p>\n

      4. Don\u2019t come alone in a closed place:<\/h3>\n

      Office with your female assistant, no! Studying in your room with a female colleague, no. And OF COURSE not in her room as well, smart!<\/p>\n

      Avoid being alone in closed places, or opened spaces -with no one else around- with the opposite sex!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      What Is Halal Dating? Are There Dating in Islam Rules:<\/h2>\n

      The Muslim way of\u00a0halal dating\u00a0is choosing the Heavy Pact; i.e. lawful marriage. All makeup is gone once get married:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • You have to feel that it\u2019s something yours, and you have to try to make it work.<\/li>\n
      • You can propose to a girl or her guardian to announce your sincere desire for engagement.<\/li>\n
      • \u00a0No way for an irresponsible inhuman relationship that leaves a woman heavy with a burden without a spouse, to face the world alone with a child or face the process of abortion.<\/li>\n
      • No way for being alone together or talking<\/li>\n
      • For a Muslim man\/woman, it\u2019s either to wait for the hero way\u00a0or do it the straight way.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Is It Haram to Talk to a Girl before Marriage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        No, it\u2019s not haram to talk\u00a0with an acceptable legitimate purpose,\u00a0<\/strong>not for kidding.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • The girl should speak in an appropriate manner,\u00a0not too softly.<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Avoid being alone together. Rather, you have to be amongst others and\u00a0behave<\/strong>\u00a0respectfully<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
