Halal Dating Among The Youth And The Rules To Follow

By Rebecca Ross


With this ever-advancing world a lot of things have emerged that back in the older days would have been considered out of the norm. An activity like Halal Dating is one that has created an unexpected harmony among human as it is not bound to one race, religion, nationality or even social class. In Islam courting has not always been on the top of the list when it comes to intimacy and marriage.

In Islam, one does not have to necessarily date someone for them to get married as Muslims have for long built their intimate lives around arranged marriages that do not really need any form of courting for marriage to occur. These rules are meant to keep one fully respectful to the religions rules and beliefs and at the same time fully respectful to themselves and their bodies.

The first rule one has to follow when courting is to learn the virtue of self-control in full understanding and adhere by it. This is so as to have the ability to control your personal felling hence not letting them get in the way with God. When one does this then you prove your respect to God, your future partner and also you respect your own body by not giving in to earthly wants.

It is the right to do the right Taaruf which is an activity similar to seeing in Islam one only engages in this after they have considered a number of options like are their income stable enough to support a marriage, do they have enough knowledge to help with maintaining and keeping a marriage and the last question is if there is anyone special someone to fulfil your life and if you should tell them.

You also have to look into the fact whether or not you have found your partner. If you have then this is the right time to declare your true feelings to them and in this stage, a mahroum must preside over the sitting and it should never be done without his presence. If you have not yet found a partner does not shy away from asking for help to find your partner from those who you trust.

Remember that when declaring your feelings to your partner it is mandatory for a mahroum to be present and even close relatives can be present. Understand the type of courting to go by with as from that moment henceforth as per by the Taaruf. This stage provides the perfect opportunity to get to know your partner and you also have the chance to dissolve the relationship if it displeases you.

The courting rules used in halal courting have numerous advantages to those practising it as this becomes the best way in helping to keep your friendship with your partner to be and help in growing mutual respect between each other.

Not all people who support this method of seeing especially those not practising Islam but it is one that should be respected and let to thrive on its own as it is held in great regard in the Muslim community and should not be disrespected.
