Sura Nisa, Ayah # 25

  1. If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. ===================================

i don't know why u have to be so rude. but whatever, roman i figured he was speaking to me. anyway, in my quran translation it mentioned boyfriends. i don't ahve my wudu at the moment so i can't look it up right now, but if u have payed any attention to other peoples replies, and what is written in this discussion besides your own opinions, maybe you'd know. And so sorry to keep you waiting, but i can't be on here everyday. My quran had a Yusuf Ali translation. If someone wants to look. I don't have a boyfriend, and honestly i don't approve of it within our society. What i am asking is what are other peoples interpretations, and opinions, i am not asking for a ok, or anything. Its hypothetical like i said before. This is not me personnally, sure i have a lot of good friends who happen to be of the opposite sex. But-i think i know where to draw the line. UP to my knowledge i haven't done anything wrong, but if i have may god forgive my sins.

Do not let appearances decieve you- always 714

Helloo/Salam

Finally found something:

It is forbidden in
Islam for a man to be alone with a woman who is not his wife, or a very close relative (i.e. one whom he cannot marry), in a room where they cannot be seen. This is not due to any lack of trust in either the man or the woman. It is only meant to strengthen them against any temptation. Abdullah ibn Abbas quotes the Prophet as saying: "Let no one of you be alone with a woman except in the presence of a relative whom she may not marry." (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) Ahmad also relates a Hadith in which the Prophet is quoted to have said: "He who
believes in Allah and the Last Day must not be alone with a woman without the presence of a close relative of hers which she may not marry. Otherwise, Satan would be the third one with them." This applies even to a relative whom the woman may marry such as her cousin. She must never allow herself to be alone with him where they cannot be seen.
