Hope In The Mercy Of Allah

chapter 5(Sabr)

Love Before Nikah{haram relationships};

The relationship that develops between a man and a non-mahram woman, which we call “love” is a combination of haraam things that transgress shar’iah  and moral limits in Islam.

No wise person will doubt that this relationship {dating} is haraam, because it involves a man being alone with a non-mahram woman, looking at her, touching her, kissing, and speaking words filled with love and admiration, which provokes desire.The prophet salaAllahu alayhi wa sallam said;

“No man is alone with a (non-mahram) woman, but Shaytan will be the third among them.” [at-Tirmidhi, 3/474; 

It is not permitted for a man to be alone in a house, room or car with a non-mahram woman. Similarly a female patient should not be alone with a doctor, and so on. Many of us are careless about this matter, whether because they trust themselves or for some other reason, with the results that many commit indecent acts or take the steps that results in the tragedies of confused lineage and illegitimate births.

Remember,Shaytan is always keen on tempting us and make us commit haram[unlawful] deeds.

Dear brothers and sisters there is nothing like boyfriend and girlfriend staff in Islam.It never was and never will be.

Naseem's pov;

Uncle Ahmad's death had shaken me and reminded me we are only alive because of the  delicate string of breath.When broken we return to our Allah.Many of us with regrets and others with fulfillment.I prayed I be from the latter and would die on peace and above all in imaan In shaa Allah.

Its been almost 6 hours since Javerya was told the truth.Since then she has not uttered a single syllable.Especially after she was told that the burial had already been done three days earlier.

I felt guilt pricking my heart.I knew the truth  and like everyone else chose to stay mum.Ya Allah you know why i did what I did.Please let it not cost our friendship and make Jav understand.

All siblings have been in the room forever.Each one among the family is anxious to know what transpired.Unable to hold back any longer I made my way and went in.There was a pin drop silence when I entered they were all sitted a distance from Jav.Eyes puffed and red.My gaze fell on her as she sat as a statue lost in her own world.

I sat next to her I knew she was mad at evryone.I received warning looks from the rest but I dint care.Taking her cold icy hands in mine I called out to her.She just looked at me blankly face void of any kind of emotion.Tears stung my eyes seeing her like this.

Misty eyed I called out her name.At the sound of her name something clicked in her mind.She furiously withdrew her hand and looked at me.

“Ooh look who is here my so called bestfriend.”she said with sarcastic venom.

At this I felt as if she had stabbed me in the heart several times.Ya Allah this is what I dreaded most.Please give her patience sabr and understanding ya Rabb.I fervently prayed in my mind.

Turning to her“Jav please we did what we thought would be best for you we could not ruin your future.”

“Yaah right!!You know what Naseem you will never understand what am going through.You have your dad with you how will you understand I dont have it in me to take all this.We promised to never hide anything from one another what changed huh??”

“Javerya!!lower your voice thats not how you talk to your friend”.Fatma interjected “she just did what she was told to do.”

Face glowing red in suppressed emotion she stood up pointing a finger to all of us.

”I did not expect this from you all who are you to take decissions on my behalf??You claim to be my brother,sisters and bestfriend.”she raised an eyebrow tauntingly.

“This what I expected from others its all because of you that I was not able to see my dad one last time.”

"You will meet him Jav you just have to pray for him and do your best to join him in Jannah.Am.... sorry J..av we di...d not mean t..o hurt.... you,”I stammered suppressing my tears.

The rest looked at her flabbergasted its very rare to see Jav mad and when she does Allah help you.

“Hmph!your sorry wont bring back my dad.I just hate you all at the moment just please leave my room.i need some time alone”

It was at this moment that I realised how shaky she was.I took a few steps towards her.

Turning her head away from all of us she emphasized again“leave me A........”words incomplete eyes closed as she fell on the floor unconscious.

Naseer was instantly at her side examining her while we all stood staring her worriedly.

I knew her heart was in wreak and ruins thus none of us took what she said to heart.

"Dont worry guys she just fell unconcious due to too much stress.She will be fine in a while."

After a while her mom stepped in and worriedly asked what happened.I sat her down and gave her a graphic account of what took place as tears made their way down her cheeks.

This is a first for me seeing aunt getting emotional and crying over Jav.I hugged and consoled her.

“Dont cry aunt it wont help Jav just have patience and faith In shaa Allah.He is Ar Rahman he will set everything right InshaAllah.”

Allah said in the Quran,

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (Qur’an, 2:286).

“And he indeed never does that just put your trust in him and see how he does wonders.”rubbing her tears I gave her a smile.We are all are there to give her the support she needs to go through this and she surely will.Our jav is stronger than what we think all we have to do is have sabr.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا اصبروا وصابروا ورابطوا واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون

“O you who believe, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful” [Al ‘Imran 3:200].
