DWQA QuestionsEngagement Dilemma: Faith vs. Feelings
Dr. Asiya Staff asked 2 weeks ago
I’m engaged to someone I’ve loved since my teenage years. He is honest and caring but has little religious inclination and is involved in music and dance. How should I cope with the engagement, given my growing religiosity?

• Consider discussing religious practices and lifestyle choices with him openly.

• Encourage positive change, but recognize personal responsibility in spiritual matters.

• Pray the dua from Surah Al-Furqan:
“رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا”

• Remember: marriage is a partnership, and guidance from Allah is key. Your intention and effort matter; seek Allah’s help in fostering religious harmony in the household.
