It is an acceptable thing for people to develop strong feelings to other people. These feelings result to love and finally, people can get married after they have dated for some time. However, this is different in the Islamic religion. When you start developing feelings towards a person, you are supposed to marry them. If you feel that you are not yet ready to get married, you have to take time to fast and pray for the lustful feelings to go away.
Doing the right Taaruf is also a rule that should be followed. This is the opposite of most customs who encourage people to date before marriage. Taaruf requires people to get married first then date after marriage. The reason behind this is that people can get hurt and ruin relationships when they start a relationship before marriage. To avoid heartbreaks, you should get married then start your courtship.
However, you might be ready to marry but lack someone to marry. In such a case, you should seek help from people. You then create a proposal consisting your biography and give it to the people you are requesting help from. Then, they will give the proposal to a recommended girl who will also send out her proposal. If this works, you can marry her.
In case the proposal is accepted, you should meet the girl but not alone. You have to meet her with her family. If you want to know anything important about the girl, you will ask during this meeting. The time to conduct this Taaruf is usually three months and you should decide together with the girl. Thus, this is where you will learn critical things about the girl.
If by the end of this time you will not have a match, you can decide to stop it. However, you have to ask for permission from your parents and she does the same. If her parents or yours do not allow it, you should stop the Taaruf. However, if you feel there is a match, you can ask permission from her parents.
In case there is some compatibility, you may proceed to the marriage step, only after you have passed all steps. After you get married, you are now free to do anything you want. This is even the right time to date and express your feelings to each other.
This Islamic custom is followed to prevent people from committing fornication and sinning against Allah. If you date before marriage, you will be sinning against Allah. Hence, to avoid committing immorality, you should date the right way. This way, you will remain pure and receive blessings from Allah.
