Are religious men thought to be more honest and loyal, and hence more attractive?
Re: religious men
it depends r they truly religious?
coz Islam teaches to b more honest n loyal. if they follow islam then they r honest n loyal.
attractive?
wht do u mean by that?
attractive morally?or physically?
if morally then Yes coz if u want to live aCCORDING TO islam then its perfect coz islam is complete code of life.
if physically then again i think Yes.coz purity of our religion (if u truly follow it) brings some specific kind of NOOR on ur face....n i have seen those ppl within my surroundinf
Re: religious men
No..! Depends on how religious they are.
Re: religious men
honesty and loyalty are not the only things that establish attraction.

Not necessarily. The religious clearly advocate the concept of 4 marriages, and put the onus of marriage on man's decision.
Re: religious men
i dont know....its really hard to tell if they are really a religous person or they are just faking it
Re: religious men
I wouldn't generalize it for all but only talk about people who have been inspiration for me. I am far from the dust of their feet and pray to Allah to bless me with similar qualities.
Noor and smile on their face. Looking at them reminds you of the teachings and sunnah of the Prophet (saw) which refreshes your Imaan
Sincerity and purity of feelings pours from their words and actions.
While standing face to face you can feel in your heart, the warmth of Imaan releasing from their body.
When you shake hands with them, they are as soft as that of a baby (due to excessive wudhu) and a sweet smell coming from them
They look graceful and elegant in white clothes.
Their dealing with people (including loyalty and honesty) is ONLY for the love of Allah
Re: religious men
Religous men are more attractive to religous girl.... and this is not to say that a man cant be honest if they dont practise their religion.
A girl who is really into her religion will want a guy who helps her in that cause, and make the path to jannah easier for her inshallah.... things like a surprise trip to umrah/ hajj would be more appreciated then a trip to duabi (i know one too many ppl who prefer the latter :( ).... it would be nice to wake up early one day and offer tahajjut prayer together, etc, etc ... :) this is the kind of stuff that would attratct a girl to a religous guy (i know too many ppl that dont pray 5 tmies a day, so waking up for tahajjut may be a struggle)......
And to the comment about the four wives, I know NO ONE who is relgously commited and has more then ONE wife!!!!
Re: religious men
yeh but r religious man more attractive?........putting Islam aside for a minute....if u think of a girl who is a good muslim but not strict paanch wuqt namazi but does try.....married to a guy who again is slightly more religious then her.....and if he is always talkin about islam and nothing else and does every single thing in life through islamic way...think about it wud he be attractive?......
i mean dont u want a bit of fun in ur marriage life?..... a tease here n there......fool round a bit etc.....
i can understand wot wunderkinds talkin about......but i can agree to wots fazeelut talkin about too....
it all depends on wot kind of a girl is married to that religious guy...u have to be equal and compromise........make ur wifey happy if she wants a bit of this n that...it is allowed between hubby and a wife but be religious too
Re: religious men
I don't understand why some people separate being religious from being funny in a good way, teasing, fooling with a good sense of humor .....etc.
My ideal was the most religious of all, and I know he used to run with his wife, play with her and shared good jokes...BUT still he **"Looked at everything from the Islamic perspective" **which means that you can consider every action/word from Islamic point of view and at the same time also be romantic, funny, caring......etc.
**^ **If I call him my ideal, than I should try to follow his way of life than indirectly criticizing it.
Re: religious men
Any 'religious' man who claims that he is honest and loyal to Allah swt, and by that token fulfills his duties to fellow human beings, and then he does not is non religious in his own right. either he lacks what true religious sanctity calls for upon him, or he is being selfish. either way, he is not religious and loyal neither to his Maker nor to other people whom he takes advantages of.
of course, he cannot be respected, and hold a reputation for being religious.
an example which may cause controversy is a man who admits to his flaws, his dishonesty with an intent to correct it, vs. a man who rants that i fear Allah swt, that i am religious in many ways, and then he proves that he is anything but religious... figuring who can be respected more is obvious.
in Islam, & in the letter of Allah swt to man kind, constantly believers are admonished of forgiveness, mercifulness of Allah swt.
but that almost always is preceded by a warning against disloyalty to Allah swt as well as fellow human beings.
a man who claims his place as a religious man, and has established his 'seat' as someone to be seen as a religious man, cannot be arrogant, selfish, and hypocrite.
can he be?
on individual levels, when a true religious man is socially dealing with others, he is uniform and constant in his actions and thoughts as well as words; he does not fail truthfulness by saying one thing and then saying another or never saying things clearly.
May Mothers never raise such men.
And when these men see for themselves their inability to be what they claim to be, may they correct their personalities with grace of owning up to their mistakes of disloyalty.

dats the thing some men consider fooling round joking and teasing and being romantic as NOT being a part of Islam...for xample...the less u talk the better the less owrds u use in a sentence the better and so on....
so how r v girls can have a good laf and a tease with r hubbies who r jus serious all the time?.....i dont undrstand men.....we can be all islamic too but at the same time give our wives wot they want!!....

Totally agree with u STP bhai.
why r ppl so persistent that "religous men" aren't fun?
Subhanallah my father is a really God fearing man (of course he has shortcomings but that's part of being human), anyways, he and my Mum get along so well Alhumdulillah.... and he jokes around with her a lot, he buys her presents, he takes care of her so well when she was sick, and he took care of the house and us kids (he makes really nicee roast)... and they talk sooooo much (and not always about religion).... and they like taking morning walks after fajr, etc, etc. So this concept that a man who is religous cant keep his wife happy is ridiculous! (and i'm not saying this to show off, but once my Dad told my Mum that he cant count the number of times he has prayed 2 rakat shukrana thanking Allah SWT for a wife like my Mum :) ) it sure put a warm smile on my Mum's face :)
plus, if a man treats his wife nicely bcoz the Quran tells men to live with their women "honourably", then he not only please his wife, he ends up pleasing Allah SWT.

Re: religious men

They are the safest bet. Even if they do worng, you can quote Quran or hadees to them and they may revert. What can you tell a non-religious guy
Re: religious men
^ by same token, if the religious guy is challak he will quote Quran and Hadeeth and marry 4 times.
