I have converted to Islam but my boyfriend is delaying marriage as he is convincing his family to marry me.
My boyfriend was guiding me to Islam and it took so long time(nearly 2 yrs to understand the beauty of islam) and then I became Muslim. We don’t work in same place any longer. He is either not willing to come out or he is getting scared to spend time with me. I understand that now he is staying with his family and it won’t be the same as earlier. I feel I have been rejected by him. I m ready to do anything to convince his family but they are not ready to accept me.
I want to marry him but my mother refuses because he is from a different tribe. How can I convince her?
I have been looking for the right man for many years. Now, I met him who has the personality and qualities I desire. I am a true Muslim. He is very devoute Muslim. Proposing marriage is so difficult because we are from different tribes. He wants to get married in a halal way, but my mom disapproved him because of his tribe. I want to be married to him because I love him. I don’t want to disrespect my mother because I love her to death but how can I make her understand this good Muslim guy, who prays five times a day and knows the religion better than me. What is the best way to make her understand and tell her stop being judgmental without disrespecting her?
Should I continue praying for the man I love to marry me or should I move on?
I wanted to marry a man from a different background and school of thought to my own; due to his past and cultural differences my family rejected him. When my father eventually came round he decided to do istikarah and informed me that he was no longer willing to marry me because of my father and small differences we had in the past. I’m in a bit of a limbo because on one hand I should accept his decision and move on but on the other I love him so and can’t move on he’s such a beautiful person mashallah. I sometimes don’t know whether I am right or wrong? Should I accept Allah’s decree and move on and accept the past is over or should I pray for our marriage?
My father don’t agree to my marriage to the guy I like because he is African.
I have started to grow close to a man who is African. I never thought I would be with an African man before, as being Asian myself its not often the norm. I dont agree with my dad; I feel he’s judgemental and shallow and he even admits to me in his own words that its all about how people see outside not whats inside. I had no intention of a relationship whatsoever and neither did he but its just that as friends we have started to grow closer and I have realised how much of a nice person he is and how well we get along.
Could someone advise me regarding my daughter’s choice of boy for marriage?
He was very short and skinny whereas my daughter is very tall and healthy. It would look very odd, to which she laughed. May Allah forgive me; This guy said that he doesn’t need my permission and he will go ahead with his family and marry my daughter.
