Romancing

A boy and a girl are not allowed to romance before Nikah. It is living in Haraam. Unfortunately parents also tolerate this practice. Parents who love their children should not allow this practice. They expose their children to divine curse. And on the other hand, they are also under the curse of Allah Ta'ala. Why not marry them off one time? Are the preparations and the fantasies more important or is it more essential to avoid Haraam? We delay marriage due to our personal fantasies. And that induces us to do many wrong things! A Muslim must remain pure and clean. He must not fall in such lowliness. There is nothing which is more important and precious than the blessing of Allah Ta'ala. And we receive it when we keep ourselves far from Haraam. Otherwise, we will always be unworthy and in lowliness however much people consider us honourable or we consider ourselves respectable because it is the behaviour of a person that defines his personality. Not what he seems to be in the eyes of people.
