Re: Pre-Marital Relationships
Yes…I see the sarcasm.
Alright.
People make mistakes all the time. It happens. Its life. Anyone would be a fool to deny the fact that they’ve made mistakes bigger or smaller.
Chastity is a beautiful thing and I believe in it 100% but I also believe in Allah swt’s mercy as well as His decisions to bless those He will with Hidayat to do better in life. Basically, someone who’s had a chance to repent and ask forgiveness is a very lucky and blessed person in my eyes. If Allah swt can forgive then who are you? A mere mortal who also answers to the same Allah as I or anyone else?
The OP can have an Islamic household if the potential spouse has indeed asked for forgiveness. A pathological liar and future cheater will NOT disclose his past mistakes. But this guy did…and even though its a bitter truth…its a truth he was willing to share. Regardless of how damaging it might be to his image.
And last but not least…being in a relationship does not make someone a cheater. People…really…get it together. I KNOW most of the posters on this board have at least spoken to other people before marrying their spouses with the intention of finding someone for marriage. If that was looked as a possibility that you might stray in the future and also speak to other men and women…none of us would be married.
