Is disability a dealbreaker for you when looking for marriage?
I ask because I live with a disability myself. To be honest, I don’t see it as a problem at all — even if someone is more disabled than me, it would never put me off. What matters most to me is having good character, faith, kindness, and being able to build a halal life together.
I’m just curious what others honestly think. Would disability stop you, or do you look past it to what’s inside?
As salam alaikum,
I thought I'd share this experience because I rarely get phone calls from matches, but today I spoke to a guy of Kashmiri background. At first, he was very respectful, and I thought the conversation was heading in the right direction after a long delay.
I started by telling him about myself, my personal life, and we even discussed our careers a bit.
But later, he asked what kind of relationship I was looking for before marriage, and that's when he shocked me by saying he'd had girlfriends in the past, and was still looking for one because he'd need a year to get married.
I asked about his sect, and he just said he was Muslim. When I asked about his views on intimacy before marriage, he was vague. He sounded like he wants physical intimacy in the process of getting to know each other.
I was shocked because it feels like this is normal now. I ended up asking him how he would feel if his future wife had previously engaged in this kind of intimacy with many men. He went quiet, changed the subject, said goodbye, and unmatched me, though I'd already unmatched him.
This is the state of Muslim today, and why marriages don't last because they end up with spouse just like them. That's why staying within Islamic boundaries is so important.
Salam Everyone,
I am looking for a revert wife Insha'Allah in the UK, between 24 and 35, ideally in Leicester or the midlands (I live in Leicester, 32 years old). If anyone is interested please send me a message or leave a comment.
Thanks

Middle East Eye on Instagram: ""He hates Muslims but he's in a Muslim country." Far-right figure Tommy Robinson was called out on camera in Dubai while attempting to give an interview to IFL TV ahead of a Misfits Boxing event. During the exchange, boxer Ty Mitchell questioned Robinson over his long record of targeting Muslims and asked why he rarely focuses on crimes committed by white offenders. Mitchell also raised the contradiction of Robinson being in a Muslim country despite his anti-Muslim rhetoric. The discussion became heated and the interview was cut short, with footage of the confrontation later circulating widely online. Tommy Robinson, who changed his real name from Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, is known for his anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. He co-founded the English Defence League, a far-right, anti-immigrant organisation, in 2009 and led it until 2013. He has also been involved with other far-right groups, including the British National Party and Pegida UK. Critics have long said Robinson receives funding and support from zionist and pro-Israel entities, and has posed with an IDF shirt."

Can you really call it teaching if your telling or showing others what to do an not do in a relationship from a place of hurt, which has never been therapised????

Fitrah and Love in Islam
In Islam, fitrah refers to the natural disposition Allah has placed within every human being. It is the original state of purity, truth-seeking, and inclination toward what is good.
From an Islamic perspective, the idea that fitrah is connected to love is rooted in how humans are created and what they are created for.
- Fitrah is oriented toward connection with Allah
At its core, fitrah is not just “being good” or “being kind”—it is the inner awareness that a person is dependent on and drawn toward their Creator. In Islamic thought, the deepest form of love begins with love of Allah, because He is the source of life, mercy, and meaning.
So love in fitrah is first:
Love of Allah
Love of truth and guidance
Love of purity and goodness
- Human beings are created with mercy and attachment
Islam teaches that Allah placed mercy (rahmah) and emotional bonds in human nature. This is why people naturally love:
Parents and children
Spouses
Family and community
Those who show kindness
These forms of love are not accidental—they are part of how human life is meant to function.
- Love is tied to recognition of goodness
In fitrah, the heart is naturally inclined toward what is beneficial and sincere. This is why people often feel drawn to:
Honesty
Compassion
Justice
Beauty in character
When the heart is not heavily corrupted or distorted, it tends to recognise and love these qualities.
- Fitrah can be covered but not erased
Islamic teaching holds that fitrah can become clouded by environment, trauma, sin, or unhealthy influences, but it is not completely destroyed. That is why people can sometimes feel inner conflict—they still sense truth or goodness even if they move away from it.
- Love in its highest form is aligned with fitrah
In this view, love is healthiest when it:
Leads a person closer to Allah
Strengthens mercy, respect, and responsibility
Is not based on harm, obsession, or injustice
So love is not just an emotion in Islam—it is something that should align with the natural moral and spiritual structure a person was created with.
Salam all,
Do you reckon women should be saving up for their nikkah/wedding?
If so, realistically how much?
