A Letter

A love letter from a Muslim man to the girl he loves.

If you love me, don't confess your love to me through haraam ways, This won't please me and will instead drive me away! Love games don't attract me. If you love me, have sabr and I will knock on your door when the time is right. Don't give me privileges which I don't deserve. Keep me away from you, and I will approach you. If you approach me, I will stay away from you. Don't love me, for I want you ignorant in love. I want to teach you love when the right time comes and when you will be mine, Only when we are joined together under our Creator's satisfaction Don't tell me what you feel, don't give me from your time, don't push me to lose you. I am a man who does not want to see the one he loves committing sins or to live a forbidden love behind her family's back. I don't want her to feel guilty and don't want her heart to suffer. Put me under limits that I won't cross, kill me inside you so I won't grow to kill you inside me. Preserve what is beautiful inside you. I want you innocent, chaste, pure. I want you my love, but with Allah's blessings and not shaytan's whisperings. And then, Only then, I will face everything and will be ready to go through difficulties to get you, Don't be easy because then, I may not value you. Don't love me now, so I won't hate you! My heart wants you and doesn't want to lose you. I don't want you to be just a passing fancy for me, I want you a wife, a lover, the mother of my children, I want you to be the one I will spend my whole life with. How could I be a faithful man to you when I try to break your chastity? How would I be faithful to you if I push you to betray your family? How could I trust a love which grew under Allah's wrath ? To make you mine through Nikah is Islam's way, Till then wait patiently and do not dismay. To love you means to protect you, To Love you is to bring you closer to Allah and HIS deen to preserve you not to kill what is beautiful inside you.

-Your Husband-to-be (Insha'Allah)
