[color=#006600][/color]So in summary, I believe tbaba nailed it that " Learn as much as you can about Islam and pass it to your kids in an intelligent way. Let Islam grow on them. Do not keep them in environments where there is danger that their deen would be compromised. Teach hem about the seerah.

Salam alaikum. So I'm back.....finally, and that was a really motivating story you shared, e-ustadh tbaba . Jazakallahu khairan.

I'm from a muslim family; on my paternal side of the family especially, we've always been muslims from generations past. I'm from kwara state, my mom's from Lagos and my family is based in Lagos. I grew up in a predominantly muslim community where it was almost a norm to attend a Madrasah (even most of the christian kids did then), so I attended one with my siblings up to the Translation Class, and there was the Islamic Religious Knowledge (I.R.K) at school too but that was all; I had no particularly "personal" connection with Islam. Growing up I was a happy, carefree kid; no worries so i never thot I had to ask Allaah for anything. (Astaghfirllah!). I was never made to fast if I didn't feel like it (I was pampered enough as the baby of the house so i NEVER felt like it) but even as a kid, I was always conscious of Allaah; never did any secret things cos I always felt He saw everything I was doing. So that was how I went through primary and secondary school. In my undergraduate days i remained a passive M.S.S member, never allowed the muslim sisters come too close cos they always seemed to be "bugging" me (Astaghfirllah) but I offered salaat off & on (mostly on during exam periods). I was more active during my National Youth service period cos I served in the North, very far from home so I needed a sense of belonging and I was beginning to experience adult problems then(if you get my meaning). So I got more religious when I was up there in the North and the moment I was back in Lagos, I fell right back into my normal routine. Untill........

Sometime earlier this year I met a friend who was very religious, very disciplined islamic-wise infact I thought him strict! but Alhamdulillah he gave me the "push" I needed; always reminding me of the imporance of salaat and of my relationship with Allaah. And since then I've been striving to become more and more better mashallah which infact was part of the reason I had to quit my last job as a Customer Service person at a manufacturing Company where I couldn't offer salaat during working hours and proper islamic dressing wasn't allowed (no hijab), so I couldn't grow islamically as I aspired to. Mashallah I'm still striving to keep improving, and I pray Allaah helps me to be steadfast on THIS path.

Salam aleikum waramotulah brothers and sisters. JUMAH MUBARAK.

k2039: I'm enjoying my singleness, I dont intend to date anytime soon.

Singleness rocks!

that didn't sound happy to me. So many pple say that cos they'r still dwelling on their past but deep down, they're not happy

I'm an introvert. Mostly boring even my fone go testify( all the keypad don peel finish); so i read a lot, love writing too. and surfing d net. Ma mum and my siblings don talk so tey, den tire

Religion definitely! Though i became an active NLer jst 2day but i've spent hours in the religion section already. I love the fashion section too. Guess i'll be exploring most of the other sections too cos i jst luv to surf so much

tbaba1234: Wa aleikum salam,

* Dating is prohibited , you are right... But You are allowed to get to know your spouse. I wrote this earlier



*There is no duration but it is better,both of you reach reach your decision quickly.

* It is allowed for a sister to propose marriage to a brother, if she thinks he fits the bill.

Jazakallah. the last(3rd) issue in the post has two parts; are there halal (& effective) ways she can search for a marriage partner? Like, suggestions?

siddiq202:

No M.S.S is not for student only. if you are unable to find M.S.S branch, you can try Al-Muminaat but I'm very sure that M.S.S will have a branch there.

will help you for info

OK. Jazakallah

Salam alaikum waramotulah. I have some courtship-related issues I'd really like for us to discuss:
* I know "dating" is prohibited in Islam but I used to think that except it's an arranged marriage whereby your Wali or a relative would have done a proper investigation about whom they deem good for you as a spouse; it's just logical to get to know your intended spouse at least enough to know s/he will make a good wife/husband and good mother/father for your kids.
Now my question is "what makes a pre-marriage relationship halal?" How d'u go about fully knowing your intended without 'courting' them, which is seen as haram

* Is there a stated or likely duration between you meeting someone you want to marry and the time you tie the knot (i.e like a courtship period)?

* What are the halal ways( effective ones o!) for a muslimah to search for a marriage partner; is it even allowed?

I really want to be cleared on these issues. Jazakumullah

Ok, i'll try and do that but i've got 2 problems; never heard of any M.S.S branch in my area here (igando/ikotun), and i used to think M.S.S was for students only......??

Salam alaikum. I'm Madeenah. Alhamdulillah, I'm so glad i discoverd this forum; i've known nairaland for long but never active, didn't know there was a muslim forum on here. I was born a muslim and i've always been one, but just recently i've become more religious Alhamdulillah and i'm striving to become more and more apt in the Deen, so i've been searching for muslim forums and gatherings (both online and reality) where i can rub minds with other muslims. Jazakumullah khairan!
