MISTAKES SINGLE MUSLIM WOMEN MAKE

[@lilgirllilgirl735]

I remember a brother I considered for marriage and when I said I don't think it will work out, he said "I can get married easily, but you're over 30 so it will be hard for you to find someone to marry." I remember I had thought like this anyway, but him saying it wasn't nice. Alhamdulillah I got married a few months later. Don't feel pressured to marry someone you're not sure about coz of your age. It is easy for Allah to grant us someone, Alhamdulillah

[@NafisasPearlz]

Masha’Allah that’s such a nice example that I think sisters need to hear more of. May Allah bless and protect your union. The guy tried to guilt trip you because you rejected him but your rejection was actually Allahs rejection because he was not meant to be your husband. Sometimes things happen that shows that Allah is saying “this one is not yours” but it doesn’t mean that he is saying “I won’t give you any at all”. Stay patient sisters, everything has its decree📜

[@halalpolice23]

Sometimes, what we think it’s bad, could be good for us. For example, that word that he maybe was trying to hurt and let you down can be for a wake up call which Alhamdulilah caused you to have that beautiful family. So, never give up, just bc of someone’s words, it could be lesson for us that we wouldn’t get what we have today.

He was never a bad man, in fact I Recommended him to many single sisters. My point was that despite the odds stacked against me, Alhamdulillah I still got married to someone amazing, Allaahummaa baarik.

Point 4: if a man seeks physical intamacy, walk away. He's not only disrespecting you but most importantly Allah's boundaries. A man who fears Allah will stay away from paths that lead to zina. If he hints at physical intamacy, most likely you aren't the first he has tried it with... If a man shows you his true colours, accept it and don't brush it under the carpet, it will reappear. Ukhti, you deserve better and I pray Allah provides you with a pious husband.

[@thedrasc1465]

I love that you said this. So many men appear to be religious and then it comes out that they've been in previous haram relationships. Your past is your past, but the vast majority of men haven't even done tawbah for their past, because they don't even see a problem with it, and are hoping to do the same with you. I've actually cried countless times thinking I wasn't good enough for men because I'd hit this wall where they'd reveal they wanted a physical relationship and of course that's unislamic so I'd have to put my foot down, and it'd end there. These men should be ashamed of themselves for putting us in these positions, and more importantly, they should fear Allah when they try to disobey him and convince a girl to do the same. I hope any girl reading this knows that you are the rightly guided one for sticking to Allah's commands, over even your own wish to be married one day, and inshaAllah, Allah will bless you with a righteous spouse that fulfills his duties and pleases you in every way ❤

As a married brother i can tell Nafisa's advice are on point 👌. especially about the secret marriage stuff. To all the sisters out there who get afraid about the idea of marriage, something important to remember is that us humans are hardwired to focus on the negatives which is one of the reasons we keep hearing about the bad of marriage (all the abuse, divorce, etc...). I'm not saying it doesn't happen (a lot even), but keep in mind those people who are having successful marriages don't go around shouting about it. Because 1-they're still working on it and 2-the evil eye is a reality and we all know that. So dear sisters no matter what your situation is, stay optimistic (it's important to attract khair in your life), but work on yourself and don't be naive about marriage or make unintelligent decisions as our sister already explained. May Allah bless you All.

there is nothing in the religion to say you have to get married. if you do, its a blessing

[@NafisasPearlz]

Sisters, it’s ok to make mistakes, I’m also guilty of a lot of these 😅 so I had to give myself a reality check but let’s change from now on ok. So from now on, make sure you have a plan to go out or mix with people in a halal way every weekend so that you can be seen. They won’t find you hidden. 😁 But don’t misunderstand me, DO NOT GO OUT MAKING PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF YOUR SELVES TO ATTACT ATTENTION. Just being in a halal environment mixing with other sisters is good enough as they may know someone who is also looking etc. I know some like to think that the ideal of our family memebers and local imams finding spouses for us should be the only way but the reality is that for many women all over the world, that is just it the case! The men are not doing their part or even when they do, their ideals of who we should marry are not in line with our ideals especially in terms of deen and that is something that sisters have complained to me about whenever I tell them to let the men in their families help them to find a suitable husband. If your family is not practicing, they find a man for you who doesn’t take deen seriously or has bad character and the problem begins there. Most masjid I know of in London don’t even have any marriage match making service. So, before anyone talks about me not giving sisters sound advice I do know what I’m talking about because I’m living it! The ummah and the family of the Muslimahs have failed them in many ways and this is the outcome.

Going from the first one, I feel like a lot of married sisters really go too far when you ask them about marriage and start listing off all of the horrible things about it as if trying to scare away us unmarried women. I’m 27 and unmarried and I have received so many mixed messages in regards to marriage. I want to have a relationship where my partner and I grow together but all people continue to tell me is how terrible men are and how awful it is to be married and frankly I’m scared of marriage now. And the fact that my marriage has been delayed for so long (Allahu A’alam why) it gives me extreme anxiety in regards to marriage and men in general. I feel like I’m invalidated as a human if I’m not married, but I’m going to live a horrific life if I am. If you’re a married sister, please please PLEASE be mindful of how you present marriage to unmarried women. I understand venting to your friends and I understand that marriage isn’t sunshine and rainbows, but please stop ruining marriage by constantly highlighting the bad. I’m getting to a point my life where I’m starting to believe marriage is a bad thing and I’m leaning away from the idea of being married.

Sister Nafisa, your message is so on point….I am 72 and divorced and am happy with my singleness. I am not going for the ropey -dope. You can live a full life without falling for men who mean you no good. I know Allah (SWT) says marriage is half your deen, but these brothers pop so much yang til it ain’t funny. Perhaps the NU-YORKER in me is always on guard, but at my age I am aware of all the game there is to be had out there. If Allah the most high, blesses me with a good brother in my age group, Alhamdulilah, if not, it is still Alhamdulilah. I would say the most important mistake is falling for the 2nd wife deal…Thanks for staying woke!

[@NafisasPearlz]

Masha’Allah you made me laugh 😂 😂🤣 I appreciate your contribution to this conversation. Most certainly one can live a happy life without a spouse, some have lost their husbands and are still making the most of life although it is a highly recommended sunnah to marry and most women do seek that companionship alhamdulilah, it’s still important to find someone who will make life not soo difficult so choosing well to me is important irregardless of the age although the criteria will need adjustment (if the man is above 40, chances are that he may have children or be married already) so the woman many have to adjust but if he is good to her and can be fair to her then alhamdulilah. May Allah continue to bless you our mother.

[@Khwaab]

@Dorothy: Sister, mash´Allah, so happy to finally read a wise and sensible comment here. One mistake that I personally think the Muslim Ummah makes is to see marriage as the "be all and end all" achievement in life. It´s like, if you´re married, then you´ve arrived! The way women treat is feels almost like Shirk, nauozobillah. It´s that one goal, that one thing that they think is going to define them as women. Nobody really talks about this dunya as fleeting anymore, as just a temporary station. Imagine if we regarded reaching Allah with a sound heart with the same fervour and effort that we put into trying to get married? Now that´d be something.

[@uwu-sd4sf]

Thank you for this! All of these are great tips and I don't mean to be rude or anything, but from your tone, I personally felt like you were making it as if women are not doing enough to prepare themselves for marriage when in fact, women have always been taught how to act and behave in preparation for the married life (in my culture at least). For years, I've been preparing myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually for marriage. I've read stories of married women and moms and I've researched so much about relationship dynamics that I even counsel my friends in their own relationships even though I've never been in one. Right now, honestly what I'm scared of is that... the man I'm going to marry is not as prepared as I am for marriage. But as you said, one always needs to ask guidance from Allah. Inshallah, I will get married to a man who is willing to cultivate a spiritually fulfilling marriage with me.

Subhanallah, I feel so lost when it comes to finding a spouse... I am on several groups and marriage websites and I cannot find any man who fits my criteria. I've been looking so long that I literally shaved my list to the absolute minimum I could go, a man in the USA who is able to get a good job/income stable and who practices Islam. I used to have higher criteria (like higher educated to match myself) and I feel like I'm going to just lower my standards even more if I don't find anyone soon. I paid a lot of money and spent a lot of time on this and I feel like it's not going anywhere. I'm very close to giving up. I'm just tired. Make Dua for me please. I really want to get married soon. Thank you for the video. Excellent as always.

Dreadlocks!!😂😂 This is soo enlightening.❤️ I remember someone asked a question at a pre-marital webinar I attended, she asked, 'how do we find the right one?' The response: 'to find the right one, BE the right one'. That stuck with me since that time. Most of us fail to work on how to improve ourselves, while waiting to get married. We put our lives on hold because we aren't married and are waiting for the brother to come and change us, or we are thinking when we get married we'll change. Like you said sis, our undesirable habits now will continue after marriage. We should do the work ourselves, because marriage will only enhance what we have built within and around ourselves. In the end our life is our responsibility.

[@NafisasPearlz]

Perfectly said!

[@t-renallux3125]

The answer of ''how do we find the right one?'' is not ''be the right one'', the answer is first of all - ask the God for help about how to find the right one, at the same time, make sure you are being as righteous as you can. (2) wait till you get the answer from him, try to be unemotional, patient, understanding. (3) if Allah really want you to get married now or meet the right person now, then he may tell you what and what you need to do about the whole thing to make sure it happen for you, (I believe).

[@aisha_a.]

@@t-renallux3125 Thanks for the addition. Yes seeking Allah's guidance first before doing anything is very important. However, we don't just pray to Allah without consciously working on ways to improve our relationship with Him, our character and conduct. It's prayer first and action. That is what I meant by 'be the right one'. If a single brother is working on himself to be the right one and a single sister somewhere is also doing the same, when they unite imagine the massive progress they would have achieved and would continue to achieve. I agree with you that the First step is to seek Allah's guidance, then work on ourself and He will guide us to the right person. I believe we should all have the mindset of being the right one, so that Allah guides us to the right one.

[@t-renallux3125]

Secondly, I’ve always wanted marriage but I was definitely NOT ready a few years ago. I thought that marriage/being a wife was given as opposed to being earned and it’s a completely different mindset you have to enter into. The same way that I would like my husband to be the main provider is the same way I’m sure he’s going to want a woman who is a good homemaker. I’ve greatly updated my skills and it’s exciting.

If someone tries to take the conversation in a haram direction, what you should do is end the conversation, not "set boundaries." Any man who is looking for openings to drag sisters into zina (verbal or physical) is not marriage material. Good men are for good women.

[@tanyathompson4322]

I feel like in Islam that married sisters are valued more than single especially if the single sister is older (me). My experience has been if you are not young and thin then forget about it. Every married sister I ask about asking her husband if he knows of any single brothers replies “nope, my husband don’t know anyone”. This is even before she asks. I’ve felt ostracized at events so I no longer go. It’s sad. So I see why someone may not put themselves out there to be seen anymore.

[@NafisasPearlz]

I get what you mean but it's not Islam that does that, it's Muslims (people) who do that. Even in non Muslim communities like in collectivist societies married women tend be put on a pedestal, people might respect them more etc. It doesn't make it right but unfortunately that's how some people perceive things. Insha'Allah it changes and we learn to respect one another irregardless of marital status.

Do continue to put your efforts in in a halal way because in the end you will be the one to benefit. If you don't feel accepted or appreciated in one place, go somewhere different.

The problem is, I don't see myself doing this every single day because I have never been used to it. Marriage doesn't attract me at all... I'm afraid of failing as a spouse and committing more sins than if I had stayed single. I have the impression of not being normal because everyone dreams about marriage whereas I feel like hard life is actually going to begin.

Why does that sound like something I'll be saying in a few years. On a serious note, I'm quite glad she brought up the reasons why we're not ready for marriage. My mom tells me to cook, maintain my appearance and be mature but I really dislike it all (credit goes to my culture being crappy in most aspects and thus me having a strong dislike for so many things) plus I'm lazy. I plan to work on these things now, because even if I'm not getting married anytime soon, I need to work on myself a lot. Rome wasn't build in a day.

Pretty much my story. The reason why I love my single life is because I love how peaceful it is. I live with my family, I work part-time, on my days off I sleep in til late. My family never bother me. I can wake up at 9am if I want or 12pm if I want. I do light chores around the house and contribute to whatever I'm asked to do but overall my mother still does most of the cooking and some of the cleaning, out of habit. And most importantly I get to be with my beloved family. So when I hear people talking about how much BETTER married life is and how I'm 'missing out' I never understand why. When I'm married I'll have to move out and see my family less and I'm already saying I'm not living with in-laws cos I don't want that, so we will have to live independently. Living independently means it will fall down on my husband to pay for everything and therefore fall down on me to do everything in the house - cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, taking care of kids, taking them to school etc. As well as looking after husbands needs, making time to meet my family etc all sounds like a load of hard work if you ask me.

[@DekaHana38]

@@qetraf1579 I think her advice is really good. I don’t want to have any children then again marriage/children is sunnah not fard. How do you know I’m going to live until 60 years old like seems hella confident that I will live that long.

Im 36 and still tryna becareful who i pick.

[@NafisasPearlz]

Too right my dear sister!

[@kahuzibiega6120]

@ Ghareeb al Ghoorba sister please try not to be too picky. Not one is perfect. If you find someone who will protect you, is not violent in any way or forms, who will listen to you etc... but is a bit stingy when it comes to money will you not marry him???? You have Islam, that’s means you are Strong enough to say something to ( him) when you think you’re not being listened to. You’re a woman surely you understand a man better than he understand you. Men respect women who gets their points correctly and in good manners. This coming from a married sister.🙏🏾

[@misbahailia3345]

@@kahuzibiega6120 She hasn't come across a man, with the qualities you described. That's why she's picky. Please don't feel uneasy, when a female has standards.

[@proudtobe9932]

But you will never find a perfect man , it’s a myth , look for an experienced brother mashallah and then make istikarah In regards to family members etc.. meeting them , what people don’t understand is that family are a test and depending upon a few things : Upbringing Culture Community Cause you all must ask yourselves do you wish to meet the parents only or the entire family maybe into drugs or they don’t pray , or they don’t have the correct understanding of Islam , I think people shouldn’t base their standards on the west but rather base them on Islamic culture. And know aiming high is good but you will never get bullseye as what we have in Islam. After that , marriage is easy actually, why wouldn’t it be ? Islam says so but it’s the west that has fixated to what Marriage should look like ?

Allah bless you my daughter. God will admit you to heaven on the Day of Resurrection. God willing, I am happy that you are teaching people some matters of this world and the hereafter, especially about Islam

😂 the hair part got me laughing

[@nahiedlaila9601]

Same here i also get dreadlocks but do take care of my hair regularly but dont really brush cuz it makes my hair so frizzy🤣

[@nahiedlaila9601]

I take my selfcare very srsly and also enjoy it and feel better and more confident about myself when i do but sometimes life gets in the way and mental health isnt always in my favor either which makes it more complicated and overwhelming to spend time on self care but i do make it a priority. I have been taking better care of myself the past year than ever before hahah, its a huge progress from the past Alhamdullilah when i used to battle terrible anxiety and depression leaving me debilitated

[@jikiji2951]

I am a Malaysian Girl. Also, I am editing my video while listening to this. What I am trying to say is your tazkirah really makes me easy to understand and focus even though I am doing something else. 😆 This is the answer that I want on how to deal with relationships and I should share this with my single Muslimah who are confused about this too. Thank you for the video 😊 May Allah Bless you and all Muslims in this world.🌼

I'm kind to everyone but no one approaches me. And the guy I liked insulted me and left me. I feel like I'm not good enough

[@mariaaziz7442]

Great tips! Love the background and presentation 💖

[@awimosbizzle]

I think a lot of this is personal too. We should already be cleaning and looking nice because cleanliness is half of faith. A lot of this even young kids do from a young age because their mom taught them. It’s not about the husband

Mental health and demeanour are also VERY important.

[@ukhtihafsaabdi8249]

Thank you Nafisa for such invaluable advice. I really liked the one about relying on Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ from the get go. Its sad that we seek Him only when things are to far gone. Alhamduliah i will embrace this practice, may Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ reward you for your knowledge. MashAllah

Waiyakum my dear 😉

[@lll-w3w]

Also being afraid to talk to a guy more than once thinking he will expect you to marry him if you talk to him more than one time. So not giving him a decent chance because you think you are leading him on. Just have manners and deen. I talked to my first guy once and he was very interrested but I was not, but my mom loved him. He was pushing for another chance to talk to me and I felt like what is the point, he wiill think I am interrested, why waste his time....but honesty people deserve more of a chance. Do not be so stuck up. He did nothing wrong and was a good guy, msA, I was just full of myself.
