Dating before marriage in islam

Love and Correspondence Before Marriage

Home » Hanafi Fiqh » Muftisays. In Islam is any sort of relationship allowed between the sexes before marriage? I was approached by an older cousin who loves me very much but marriage is impossible for the next few years due to my age and the circumstances. I did not think that a secret affair would be right so I have since turned him down. He claimed that to love is not a sin only under some rules and regulations given by Islam. Was I right in refusing him even though I liked him a lot? Islam forbids fornication, and all actions that could lead to it eventually, and this begins by speaking and looking. This is the unique Islamic way of destroying evil from the root. It is worth considering, that what the youth of today see as undying love, is many a time nothing more than infatuation and puppy love.

Love is one of the extremely powerful feelings in the world! Allah[SWT] shows us the true meaning of affection; no one can love us the way he does. It conveys that the feeling of love is not wrong in itself but how you manifest it. For example, the love of Allah is the most beautiful thing one can experience in this world, but at the same time, a love of power can destroy nations.
