Rules Of Halal Dating For Young Muslims

By Rebecca Ross


With this ever-advancing world a lot of things have emerged that back in the older days would have been considered out of the norm. An activity like Halal Dating is one that has created an unexpected harmony among human as it is not bound to one race, religion, nationality or even social class. In Islam courting has not always been on the top of the list when it comes to intimacy and marriage.

Muslims live just fine and engage in arranged marriages organized by the parents but in the recent past this is slowly changing, and courting is becoming more common. However, it is accompanied by a set of rules to be followed while engaging in the activity. These rules are not set to keep one from fully living but to keep their religious beliefs and their datings lives in harmony.

The rule number one ought to be followed while seeing is to master the art of self-control and not partly but fully. This will help in controlling your own feelings that can get in the way of your relationship with God. When one is not able to control their feelings especially around a person they dont intend to marry, then they sin against both God and themselves.

Follow the rules of Allah and do the right Taaruf that will act as a guide in your relationship. This is similar to courting just that it mainly involves a number of considerations to look into and to carefully evaluate. First, you need to establish that you have well stable finances to support yourself and your partner and also have enough knowledge on how to keep your marriage going over time.

You also have to look into the fact whether or not you have found your partner. If you have then this is the right time to declare your true feelings to them and in this stage, a mahroum must preside over the sitting and it should never be done without his presence. If you have not yet found a partner does not shy away from asking for help to find your partner from those who you trust.

Now that you have both found each other and ready to take it to the next level, it is now time to know the type of seeing that is accepted in Islam and start seeing in Taaruf and ensure that you are doing it in the right way. This is the step where you ask more about your partner in order to get to know them better and this should be presided over with a mahroum present.

The courting rules used in halal courting have numerous advantages to those practising it as this becomes the best way in helping to keep your friendship with your partner to be and help in growing mutual respect between each other.

Some will conflict the activity and dispute with its beliefs but it is still a practice that deserves a lot of respect regardless. For those not ready for marriage, halal courting helps them to get closer to God and establishes a much better relationship.
