Q. Dating before marriage - Advisable?

there's this one book i've read about love and relationships before marriage.. one quote that i remembered was...
"LOVE is like a BUTTERFLY. When you tried to catch it, it will kept on flying and flying high.... But when you tried to avoid it, it will come nearer and nearer to you."

in my opinion, young teenagers would be better if they concentrate on their studies first...they still have a longgggg way to go. the right time will come and they would be meeting their perfect guy/girl soon when they reached at a mature age.

unless they could control their emotions behaviors (by not doing sins or whatsoever) when dating..whatever it is, LOVE someone because of ALLAH and place HIM on top of ur heart before anyone else... :)

Definately not. We know it, everybody knows it, yet we do it because in this day ans age it have been acceptable in our society.

I may seemed out of the point, but please watch this video called 'The Arrivals'. It would turn your world upside down and make us realise what is really going on around us in ths world and what is behind what we are doing for the moment we wake up till we sleep. It will really make sense on how dating and anything else which use to be unacceptable but now acceptable regardless of religion.

The arrivals hit a cord after 200,000 over people was watching it on youtube.com that they (you tube) have to pulled it down. Find out why this is one of those video/documentry that will change your life forever.

here's a page on facebook foreveryone to watch. Please satrt from page 7, the very far right to left ( just like how you read the Quran, right to left )

I think after watching this video, you can have an indepth understanding on why we have been programmed to date ( or do other forbiden things) as muslims although we know it's not allowed but yet we come up with many justification for our actions.

Only Allah knows best.

Well said, ms unknown

Teenagers and those beyond teen-age of years should Not Date.No matter how much a person could say, his imaan is strong and etc, my question is..why must he put his imaan on such an unnecessary test?? The problem about people in this society, they are accepting what seems like a norm. But of cos, we know that does not make a right. A relationship needs to be based on an individual qualities, personalities which is rationally judged by families or close friends. The loving feeling will naturally develop after marriage. When people started to go on dates, they will be so blinded by other factors, like physical attributes/voice/ humour..in the end, he/she will be overwhelmed and starts to focus on "love". no wonder the term Love is Blind exists!
Totally not a fan of being test-driven!
