Thank you once again Hunny for your kind words. I really do not know what to say other than I think some muslims do not realize the treasure they hold and are willing to sell there soul for the sake of getting ahead in this life. Life in a third world country is very different than the life we know it. It is a very rough life even for bare necessities, may Allah (swt) never put anyone of us in this situation. It is not pretty to come from poverty.

I have lived it before and really it was some of the worst times of life to hear my children want milk and you do not have enough. With that being said however there is never ever a good reason nor an acceptable excuse for anyone to hurt anyone for there own gain in this life. We as muslims should rely on Allah (swt) and ask only Him for help. This is in the Fatihah which is in our main prayer 2 to four times each and every prayer, five times a day. I really do not understand how one can believe that they will not be accountable in the hereafter for that unless they believe Allah (swt) is not watching. It baffels me. I am not trying to judge anyone for there level of faith because faith is a life long journey but it has to start off with goodness, a clean heart and pure intentions.

In Islam there are no grey areas. Everything is very clear. There is no fooling God for He is the all knowing. All actions and deeds are recorded and will be accountable for. No excuses will be excepted. God knows what is in our minds and hearts. He knows what is kept hidden. So for all those who are involved with someone who is picking and choosing again I must warn you to really think twice. If someone who has been taught the consequences of their behavior does not care about what their Creator's Judgement will be, where exactly does that leave you?

I can not stress enough that it is important if you choose to marry someone who is calling himself or herself a muslim find out exactly what does that mean. Research Muslim Marriages. Research the countries culture. All you have to do is google it. Whatever you do, do not make this life altering decision without some careful research and consideration. It is your happiness that is at risk. True love comes after marriage when each has to see each other each and everyday and be able to put up with the every aspect of the other person both good and bad. Through the others ups and downs and being able to forgive one another.

Everyone is on their best behavior before marriage, the dark side stays at home. Things do not getter better once you are married they intensify because now it is in your face everyday. There is no such thing as happily ever after, this is only in the movies. Marriage is a lot of work and a huge commitment. People have the capability to bring out the best or the worst in a person.

With that all being said, on behalf of all the brothers that have been doing haram(sinful acts) by hurting innocent woman or visa versa muslim sisters who have been hurting innocent men, first may Allah(swt) forgive them and guide them to the straight path not the path of those who have gone astray and second may you forgive those us who call ourselves muslims and doing anything but show others the beauty of Islam. I again am so truly very sorry on their behalf. May Allah(swt) protect you and keep you from all harm

Thank you again Hunny and may the Peace and Light of God be with you always.
