‘Couple culture’ / ‘Boyfriend Girlfriend relationships’ / ‘ Courtship’

Blogging has never been one of the top priorities, hence the hard-to-come update. This post is especially written for the sake of sharing an article which addresses one of the fundamental issues from Islamic perspective, the ‘Couple culture’ / ‘Boyfriend Girlfriend relationships’ / ‘ Courtship’.

The aforementioned article has clearly and vividly enlightened me about the Islam stance towards this particular issue which gravely and adversely affecting so-called modern muslim society (the youths in particular). Unwittingly ( I think ’Ignorantly’ would be more apt in this context) these impressionable youths let their ‘desire’ and ‘lust’ get the better of themselves and leaving them disorientated and intoxicated with their own false sense of happiness, hence drawing them closer to god’s wrath.

All this while I have come across with a multitude of so-called couples, some of them are truly lax towards Islamic guidelines regarding this matter let alone ‘keeping the intention of marriage at the forefront of their relationship’, some are seemed to be reserved (at least, from their own false definition of ‘being reserved’:P) and only a very small number of them might truly comply the guidelines ( these couples end up married ).

It is actually quite hilarious when thinking back of those couples. Some of them have been anxiously practicing anything that have perceived or deemed acceptable (bak kata orang melayu ‘ohhh sooo sweettttttt!! LOL) as promoted by western ‘Show business’(entertainment industry)-

eg. uttering so-called romantic phrases ( eg. I wanna kiss/hug/tickle/massage/caress you ??!!-contoh sahaja-) which excite their desires /lusts towards each other regardless of their mediums of communication. Some are sidetracked to the extent of staying up late at night for the sake of bonding session@’bergayut’ for hours and shamefully miss the subuh prayer in the morning (So much for ‘true happiness’). Others are happily and proudly showing pictures of them posing in such close proximity/with inappropriate physical contact on social networking sites (FB,myspace,Friendster,blog- you name it).

With all the temptations barging towards us from every corner, life is surely tough and challenging, truthfully only those who are wise enough would succeed (setiap manusia bernafsu , tetapi nafsu boleh dikawal dengan akal dan didikan agama yang betul) .

Read these two articles on the aforementioned issue ( although the articles are randomly found on google , they are highly reliable and trustworthy. One of the articles is written by Ustaz Zaharuddin)
