Islamic marriage advice and family advice

Will Allah listen to my broken heart even though I did wrong?

mercy forgiveness repentance tawbah

Asalam O Alaikum

I'm actually very much confused n I don't know what to do. Actually my problem is my friend. I'm 21 years old n I have a boyfriend since 2006 when I was 15. Being a muslim I know its not allowed in our religion but it was unintentional because I was so young, n everyone called it a charm. So I did. But we never dated just smiled at each other while crossing roads or malls etc. n we are friends on mobile n internet.

From last year my bf started cheated on me, I didn't know anything because I trusted him fully, but he himself told me about his friendship with other girls.

It's sort of painful. He always apologized but he keeps on doing this till now, n every time he says its his last time, please give him a last chance, n I always forgive him because I thought I did mistake by making him a friend (which is not allowed in our religion) n I wanted him to be the last person in my life because I don't want to cheated by marrying some other person because I know being a girl it is something very important.

I prayed a lot for him, that I want only person in my life whatever he did or doing, I'm happy with all this. But he is keep on doing this n all this is disturbing me a lot, making me cry. Because sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who is keeping this relation alive, otherwise he has no interest in friendship anymore.

My questions are:

1. I want to leave him now, I'm sort of addicted to him. But its hard decision for me to take. Will ALLAH help me in this and forgive me for what I did(friendship) because I knew that it was wrong. But my heart always melts whenever he says sorry stuff to me.

2.  Broken hearts are much more nearer to Creator but it was wrong or sinful in religion. My heart is broken, will He Listen to my heart because I need a courage to leave him.

3. Lastly broken hearts in this type of situations are heard by ALLAH or not? Because someone told me that ALLAH will never help you if you are on the wrong path.

  1. asalamalaikum sadaf,

    my sweet little sister, ofcourse allahis listening to your heart. the proof is that you have realised that this relationship is wrong, and you are repenting . infact if you pay attention you knew that you were wrong all this time and allah copuld have easily let you stray knowing that you are not following his path but he is Ghaoor- ur-Raheem, so He keeps forgiving us and keep calling us to His path.

    be sure my sis, Allah loves you, he is listening to your broken heart and He will heal it as well. he will bring your smile back and replace these tears of sadness into tears of happiness, inshallah. go through this website , see how a lot of girls in the name of love has been waisting themselves.what we think is love , is not actually love, its just shaitan playing games with us. a good man will ask you to get married to him without playing games, he will approach your parents to ask for your hand in marriage, not just some silly txt and phone calls.

    Allah loves you and thats why is helping you by removing this boy from your life.pray 5 times on time, read quran with translation, keep good company, pay attention to your studies.go to 'yasmin mogahed'website there are lots of lectures and reading material there which will be very useful and will make sense to you , now that your heart is open to listening God's word.

    may Allah guide you and protect you.

  2. Assalamalaikum-1ST CONDITION IS DONT LET HIM CONTACT YOU OR REACH YOU AND DONT EVER REPLY TO IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT THAT INFATUATION AND FALSE PRETENSE OF SORRIES AND EXCUSES OF THAT ALREADY BEFORE MARRIAGE A VAGABOND BOY HOVERING ON EVERY FLOWER- -READ ASTAKHFARULLAH AS MANY TIMES DAILG 100 300 6000 9000 10000 THEN WITHIN A SHORT TIME YOU WILL COME OUT LIKE YOUR IMAN IS ABOVE EVERYTHING AND THAT DELUSION OF A BOY AND HIS TACTICS YOU LAUGH AT HIM [he will be shocked inshallah]-
    Why don’t we rely on Allah’s mercy?
    But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous good deeds, then verily, Allah will pardon him (accept his repentance). Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Maeda 05:39)
    Will they not turn with repentance to Allah and ask His Forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Maeda 05:74)
    And he who walks towards Me I rush towards him, and he who meets Me in the state that his sins fill the earth, but not associating anything with Me, I would meet Him with the same (vastness) of pardon (on My behalf).” (Sahih Muslim, Book #035, Hadith #6499) [latter half of report]
    Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “Allah says: ‘I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.‘ ” (Sahih Bukhari, Book #93, Hadith #502)He is Al-Rahman and Al-Raheem.

  3. Sister, this boy cannot "cheat" on you because he is not your husband or even your fiance'. And even though boyfriends are forbidden in Islam, he is not even your boyfriend. Just someone you smile at when you see him at the mall, and chat with online. There is no "relationship" between you and him, and no obligation. It's all an illusion.

    You are 21 now, so you are old enough to be married. If this boy is serious about you in any way - and I doubt very much that he is - then let him come to your home with his family and make a proper proposal of marriage. If he is not willing to do that, then let him go and stop your contact with him, as it is going nowhere and only leading you into unhappiness.

    • When you say "even a fiancée" , you do realize that the state doesn't recognize any union that isn't marriage. Many engagements have been broken. Having a fiancée is no different than a boyfriend ordeal.
      Anywho pls also know that many women have been conned out of marriage by deceiving guys. They promise women marriage and then they deceive them, and marry someone else. Ppl like tat have Allahs wrath after them.

  4. Jazak ALLAH..
    at leas now im happy that there is someone Who is listening to me.. n being a weak person, it is taking some time, to get me out of this situation.. but im trying.. Issue is, i have left everything for him, my hobbies, my activities and all other stuff. n being alone person it is pretty difficult for me to ignore the situation.. im over thinking..

    Im totally Tired n fed up with all this..
    I have discussed a lot of things with him. n what im depicting he's not a change person at all. n he will definitely do all this to me again, for sure.. n i guess its my destiny..
    About marriage, im a student now n he is also studying, n my family will never accept him because his career is not even satisfactory.. i have no option.. but im not planning to marry him now.. he's not even deserving my single minute..

    I don't know is there something like love or emotions.. but sometimes i feel like i do have such feelings, n i guess being a good person is making me worse..
    im trying to keep myself busy. n thank u all of u..

    I will surely inform you about my decision..
    just pray for me.. i want to overcome this situation..

  5. Aslamalikum sister
    I read your question and it saddened me, if he can't restrain himself whilst you two are just promised teach other than how can he when you both are actually married.. It's time to wake and see him for what he is; when you meet the right person, they will goto your parents, not shower you with false hopes and wishes, if he couldn't change for you once what makes you think he ever will, sister I have been in a situation similar except my family would not let me get married due to caste, he never cheated on me and I love him.. But everything is in Allah's (swt) hands, I've dropped my wishes in the hope that allah (swt) will fix everything for me, Allah loves you so much, sometimes good things fall apart, for better things to fall together.. I promise you sister, you will find your husband, and this man, is not him.. I would suggest stopping all contact and focusing on yourself 🙂
    Allah hafiz x

    sister, why do you see youself as weak? islam is empowering, you chose to be a muslimah and stay on the right path. you also chose not to commit zinah, so your strong not weak. dont ever be around someone who make you feel like your bad or powerless. Find strength in your faith as it is the only thing you will have on the day of judgement! sister if hes made you life so misrable up tilll now, tell me what will change later? plus he doesnt seem to have any virtues of a good muslim husband then what makes you think he will be a good role model to your future kids? imagine havin a daughter behaving like her father, fornikating astakfir?

    be wise sister and be strong!

    Allah hafiz

    • Shabbir, you should have married her. All you can do now is accept what has happened. It will take time. Be patient and trust Allah. Focus on your deen, your work, studies, exercise, etc. Your heart will heal.

I am in uk and he was back home so because of distance we were not having even any meetings ..... But he promised a lot and alot 4 years is not a short period dear fellows ... My family supported a lot to go through that hard time but real peace I got now when I startd loving Allah when I was crying a lot one day because he really hurt me a lot I went in sajda n cried like anything talked to Allah I begged that plz Allah accept me and dear He accepted now m ok m happy m satisfied he tried a lot to contact but I have changed all mails deleted all apps and didn't leave any source for him to talk to me apparently so now m in peace .... 5 time prayers quran recitation nawafil do whatever you can do ask Allah for forgivness for your sins then see the differnce ... There is no love pure as Allah"s love dear so live Allah only we have tried humanZ let's try Allah trust me Allah wil never leave you alone He will hold you He will catch your all tears He will count them if someone does injustice while you been fair then Allah is there He knows the intentions because in my matter i know even his family was knowing they visited my house even but they been greedy and then he defended them that was killing because he left me for them and was almost dead because my family was knowing everything .... He insulted me in my family eyes even by doing that crap in relationship trust me i heared tauntings I heard all yes my health was destroyd cz of stress I was so pretty and fresh girl by taking sleeping pills and stress my face beauty was gone i got my face dark and marks all over nobody was ready to accept I sm same girl they saw 4 years before really ....
