People Judge Us For Being Together | {THE AND} Wasif & Natasha

Have more meaningful conversations with {THE AND} relationship card game: www.theskindeep.com/shop
Wasif (he/him) and Natasha (she/her) have faced a lot of judgement in their relationship since it began. Whether it be Natasha's conversion, or just based on the fact that they are a couple, the two have stayed together through the adversity they faced. During their conversation, Natasha discusses how Wasif makes her feel sexy in hijab, and Wasif mentions the first time they said 'I love you', and how he didn't mean it at the time.
We'd like to thank Wasif and Natasha for participating openly & vulnerably in our project. We appreciate what they've shared with us and hope you do as well.

“So if I’m gone, it doesn’t mean I’m gone. We still have an eternity together. You just have to meet me there”; that’s one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard anyone say 🥺💜 He’s a very eloquent speaker. And she has a beautiful smile.

[@shaeemaqaiser4412]

For everyone who’s a little confused- this dynamic (Muslim marries convert Muslim from a different culture) is often faced with a lot of backlash from both sides of the family (which is completely cultural and not islamic). The guys’ side of the family probably wanted him to marry from inside his culture/race, and may not have been the most accepting towards their relationship, whereas the girl’s family may have felt she changed herself & her faith for a guy plus all the misassumptions about islam come into play. Idk them personally but I’m guessing the “judgement” and backlash they faced is probably due to this.

[@kslucki]

I think "misassumptions"come from the fact a man can mary a woman of any religion, while a muslim woman can only marry a muslim man. A non-muslim man must convert in order to marry a muslim woman. I know of many examples of both situations.

[@Katlady001]

@@kslucki what interesting is that Muslim men are only allowed to marry people of the book these Christians walking around today are not the people of the book that were described in our great book that’s a whole other topic that needs to be talked about.

[@classified773]

Revert here. The best gem I’ve ever gotten from an elder in my community, Syrian man married to a white woman, is to marry someone who will go to war for you, and that BOTH of you are in this together. Because sometimes ppl will not be happy for you, even as Muslims, they’re flawed humans too. Judgment, racism, elitism and heresy will be brought forward as a test and in the end both spouses only have each other. And it’s this gem as to why I personally am mindful of who approaches me, because I cannot be the only one at bat when my family decides to look poorly at my husband, or when his family looks poorly on me I don’t wish to be in combat with them either. We are in this together and for my brothers and sisters - both convert/revert Muslims and born Muslims alike, this life is a test and the dunya is temporary. Keep in mind you marry someone for their iman and their character. Culture will not raise your children, but character and faith will. This is proof of it, they both definitely faced much hard ship on both fronts, and have exhibited a level of maturity that is few and far… inshallah a lifetime of happiness ❤️

[@Irida24]

It’s a beautiful love and it’s a blessing to be part of such emotionally pioneering discussions. If there was anything I’d like to know is.., he described how much he loved her ‘beautiful hair just flowing’ before she converted and her ‘skirt bouncing on her hips’ and how much attention she used to draw. However she later says that she struggles with the hijab sometimes and somedays she doesn’t want to wear it at all, where he proceeds to tell her that to him it doesn’t matter what she wears at all. He seems to reminisce on her appearance and she seems to struggle with the current one. Is there any chance their love is being impacted because they are subliminally not free to move in their own pace in their own space? In any case I wish them all best.

[@navigatinglifewithkaz3572]

Marriage doesn't end problems, I don't think there love is being impacted by their problems but I think love will make them work past their problems. I'm proud they are open to share with each other though, and I also love he acknowledged itsher energy more than what she wears.

[@Wakeupgrandowl]

One of my best friends converted to Islam and married an Islamic man. She started converting before she met him, but it did ramp up during courtship. She seems happy, but I definitely think she feels the pressure to be a perfect muslimah. The hijab was the hardest hurdle for her too. It caused her so much stress in the beginning, she was really upset.

[@emilaaaybby]

I just don’t see the point

[@ye23.]

“Islamic man” doesnt make sense. Its “muslim man”

[@oromtitiwbo5078]

she doesnt have to wear hijab if she doesn't want to. hijab is about your devotion to God, not men. i am Muslim non-hijabi and i was waiting to build my faith and connection to God to wear it. my beliefs on it have changed immensely the past 2 years. i tried to dress down. dress baggy, shave my head, all to protect myself from sexual harrassment and jealousy and envy from society. it still did not work. what i realized is the hijab is Gods protection for women and it is ensure society respects us for our minds, hearts and souls. men also have hijab meaning veil, they must lower their gaze and not stare at women with lust. and they have dress requirements for modesty. may Allah make it easy for your friend💙

[@ro143cky]

I think it’s weird that she’s wearing hijab if she doesn’t want to. It should be a personal choice. If it’s being forced on her just so she can be with him, then I understand why her family is upset. And how much does he care about her wearing it and how much is just pressure from his family?

[@Ssookawai]

I'm a muslim woman and I don't wear a veil, never worn it before and I'll never wear it. Your friend needs a break, work on her faith first, get in a comfortable place with God, bring peace to her heart before worrying about her appearance. Religion is an intimate relationship (not in a sexual way fo course lol) with God, not with humans. I hope and pray she'll take it off for now and focus first on her own well being... there's a wide literature right now about the origins of that "hijab" but still, if she's still convinced with the "mainstream" ideas about it, she can wear it without any stress. May God bless you and her.

[@likeanangel06]

I'm completely confused. I feel like I walked in on the middle of a convo and have no idea what's going on. I know she converted for her own personal reasons. But she mentioned that her family felt she was converting for him. Did she need to convert to marry? What was the judgment on both ends. They look sooo young

[@mackenziecarter3756]

In Islam, it is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman as long as she practices a monotheistic faith (i.e Christianity/Judaism). So she didn’t have to convert in order to marry him. I’d assume the judgement from both families is based on cultural differences, faiths and prejudices. They’re a beautiful couple nonetheless💕 May Allah grant them peace and prosperity. Ameen
