Day 3

Hej! (Hello in Danish)

RAMADHAN PREPARATION! - Amenakin

Amena inspired me from an early age to be a good Muslim and continues to inspire me, I highly recommend all her videos.

This post took some time to put my thoughts into words today. Different religion, cultures and families view relationships in different ways and I can't represent all of these views in one post. I can only write about what I know best and that is my Islamic beliefs.

Since when was love and thinking about that cute girl/boy a taboo? Why are we, as a society, okay with showing violence in games, selling guns in toy stores whereas we must look away when someone is kissing? Obviously there is a line that must be drawn and our limits must be known. But generally, why is the only thing that is keeping us alive hardly talked about where at the same time we are being taught how to kill people in academies? Just something to think about.

If we overcome this manipulated mentality we must also overcome the expectations and realities of your future partner. Many put looks as their number one priority and that isn't necessary a bad thing. But expectations of a certain physical beauty fades away. In Islam, you're either married or you're not. So I've devised a list of things you should look out for in a future partner.

  • Your partner treats your family with love and respect. The profit Mohammed peace be upon him said that "The best of you are those who are the best to their families"
  • “Men choose women for four reasons: for their money, for their rank, for their beauty and for their religion, but marry one who is religious and you will succeed”
  • Learn to love yourself first. Working on being the best person you can be, both physically and mentally is very attractive. 
Its important to accept that everyone has a past and everyone has the potential to change and be better people. If you find out something of a persons past, it is unfair to reject them solely for this reason if the person has moved on and made better choices. 

Also, check out this video:


You must be thinking 'But what has this to do with fasting?'. Well today my friend and I were discussing this topic, mainly in Islam and what I should do to make God and my family happy. Rejecting the temptations to flirt with guys for the wrong intentions is something that has made me, as a Muslim so much more happier knowing that God is happy with me having the right intentions. Rejecting this is basically fasting. Abstaining from things that are 'not right'. Being attracted to someone solely for physical appeal is not only shallow (for the most part) but also narrows my chances of finding someone who has an attractive personality as well. In Islam, you're not meant to date without the knowledge of your parents. Dating in this case means getting to know each other but not being alone since Shaitan (the Devil)  is the third person in the room. Meaning if you are alone with someone in the same room, temptation, or the Shaitan, is always the third. More then being self content that you're not deceiving your parents, you know you're giving yourself the best chance of being happy now and when you finally do find someone you'll be content that your patience was worth it.
