Q. Loved each other but w/o parental support due to history

sallam
me and my other half have been with each other nearly a year now MashaAllah. I met him on holiday while i was in Spain, he is perfect and my family cannot fault him. however his sister was married to my brother and they divorced meaning there is bitterness between the family, so much that they dont realise that we love each other and would like to get married

i would like to know if we could do a nikah? as my parents and his parents are just looking at the past and are really awful towards us, they dont understand that we have been so mature to speak to them and tell them everything straight away. i havent seen my other half for so long now as our familys will not let us meet. however i do have contact with him

its been a year now and both sets of parents dont want us to get married but i love him and he loves me, all we want is to be toghter and tried so hard to get everyone on our side. i am the youngest and so is he and no one will protect us or realise our love... i have spent to many nights crying and it is having bad effect on my health, i would just like to do a nikah but i am not sure if it is allowed.

i just want to be with him and he wants to be with me, however due to our culture and family they are not allowing it.

we need lots of dua's and advice InshaAllah

xxx thanks for taking the time to read this

Salaam,

Faith overcomes dear sister. Sorry that I (if not others) have not access this website for some time, due to my commitment to religious studies for my part.

No doubt we will face great challenges in our life. Love is no doubt a uniquely beautiful aspect of human life, however, at one time we must come to face with our weakness, which ironically love itself. Encouragement, patience and the heart for God in blessing for our prayers and relationship through constant prayers and consciousness, is one who God-willing, the best of every one of faith in love in the right path.

I, myself, am facing an issue, as the person I love is not a Muslim. At some point I thought that love within both is ultimately important, and key for success of marriage. After years of learning about Islam, my personal understanding is the love of Allah that is far superceed the love we have for others. It goes something like this;

No matter how we love one another, they will come when conflicts and obstacles will happen. In these times, the aspect of love is put to a burden, as our succeding priorities and actions affect the love towards different direction. For me, if love is, in ultimate sense, be given it' purely to God, if ignorance or failing actions happens to us, the other would consciously protect others from harm and transgression, by God's will. The consciousness for God is always towards love, protection, and importantly righteousness over oneself.

Which is why in my part, I constantly tell my loved one that if she loved God more than I do, it was best of one's marriage as she would protect my future children, or others and perhaps mine God-willing, from harm should I stray from my consciousness or death. I would prefer that she choose her life towards faith within marriage, as it was the best for the future, and never stop turning to God Almightly for guidance or path for our lives.
