Couple

In the name of Allah

Salam. I went to this talk at amf after the Isya' prayer. It was organised by Engenius and the opening ceremony was superb and again congrats to Engenius. The hall was full as the topic was like on the minds of the youngsters nowadays. So the talk commenced. The presenter used a very brilliant approach as the audience and the target group was the youngsters in the first place.

Several points from the talk that I considered important are listed below:

1. Don't you approach zina - Even approaching zina is verily prohibited in Islam, so there really is no question about zina.But always rules are made to be broken, man tend to break any the laws even though they comprehend the consequences are not delightful

2. Contact his/her parents for permission - If you cannot hold your feelings towards him/her any longer, it is better for you to contact the parents to get their permission and acknowledgement as it is more appropriate in this way.

3. Increase the level of faith - As the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) said: "Renew your iman!" We must increase the level of faith in ourselves so as to strengthen the shield in ourselves from committing unlawful acts that are constantly persuaded by the devil, and one will surely fail if the shield is well-maintained.

4. Be the One instead of looking for the One - If we want our mate to be an A+ of a person, we also must work our way towards becoming the One.

5. Know your priorities -
a. Love Allah
b. Love the Prophet
c. Love our parents
d. Love our siblings
e. Love our books(education)
If you have completed all of the above, then you can love or to be loved by someone, and by someone I mean your WIFE/HUSBAND.
