How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

And how practicing do you expect him/her to be ?

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

He should know at least the basics of islam. I’d want him to be moderately practicing.
But ‘moderate’ in itself is a relative term. What is moderate for me may be extreme or liberal for another.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Enough to fulfil my rights, :wink:
and enough to keep herself a muslim.

btw knowledge and practice are two very different things,
one can be very knowledgable yet not practice much, and one maybe very practicing and not very knowledgeable.

Overall practicing means most in real life, if one has knowledge and is not practicing, will only lead to arguments as i have seen and justifications either right or wrong for not doing what is asked.. and these days just feeling cool that one can silence ppl thinking by doing such he/she has somehow attained higher grades in islam..

If one has a lot of knowledge but she doesnt practice, that knowledge is practically of no use. Although make no mistake knowledge is very critical..

thats too vague of a question…

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

The basics are all i expect, though I’d still marry a Christian or Jew.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

I’d want my spouse to be means for me to enter Jannah and help in raising my rank in Jannah. And vice versa.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Follow the have pillars of Islam and eat zabiha/ halal. Does not drink/ gamble. Cares for other humans and believes in asking Allah for help. I do not wear hijab and he should be ok with that.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Ditto

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Erm, how can a husband be ok with his wife or anyone for that matter not wearing hijab or not doing what Islam commands them to do. Should he not be striving to better himself and those around him so that they enter heaven together?

What is wrong is wrong so he cannot be ok with it at all BUT he can supplicate to God, improve himself and slowly attempt to bring those around him closer to God so that they too can fulfil the obligations God has placed upon them, nobody after all is perfect but to say he should be ok with it is probably the wrong choice of words.

There are many who refuse to marry someone who wears a hijab. I don’t know which world you live in.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Must pray five times, fear Allah no matter what

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Seriously i ve seen so many

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

I think you live in Pakistan where hijab is more common.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

Knowledge of at least the basics such as the 5 pillars or at least willingness to learn more. Practice level should be similar to mine - no drinking, drugs, clubbing, gambling, no past illicit relationships. Prays 5 times, observes the 5 pillars (or at least is willing to if not there yet). And what Sheeda Pistol said:

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

I live in the UK and I see women with and without hijaab, it has increasingly become more common to see women without hijaab BUT I have yet to come across someone who would not marry a woman wearing one.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

The less religious, the better it is for me!

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

  1. I am not atheist, so womp womp at your assumption there
  2. I belong to a Pakistani family. You really believe they are going to be OK with me finding my significant other and high tailing it out of there without the “piece of paper”? Did you really forget what culture we both belong to?
  3. There are legal benefits to getting married.

Re: How much Islamic knowledge do you expect from your spouse/potential ?

So you really looking to get married?
