I believe a lot of Arabs are like that. I'm Iraqi Norwegian and it was expected for me to marry an Iraqi, however I married a Pakistani man. Mashallah his deen is strong. The character of a spouse is more important than culture matching imo.
Me to ... I'm suffering about that because I liked Iranian man and they didn't agree just for nationalty ...make duaa for me please Can I aske how if your parents didn't agree and how you convinced them alhamdu lillah

How lust/desires destroy a person/Muslim ummah and when you follow desires/lust Allah doesn't help or support you!. Astaghfiullah Chapter (4) sūrat l-nisāa (The Women) Allah wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation. Pickthall: And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain desires would have you go tremendously astray. Yusuf Ali: Allah doth wish to Turn to you, but the wish of those who follow their lusts is that ye should turn away (from Him),- far, far away. Shakir: And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully), and those who follow (their) lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great deviation. Muhammad Sarwar: God wants to be merciful to you but those who follow their evil desires seek to lead you astray. Mohsin Khan: Allah wishes to accept your repentance, but those who follow their lusts, wish that you (believers) should deviate tremendously away from the Right Path. Arberry: and God desires to turn towards you, but those who follow their lusts desire you to swerve away mightily. And who is more astray than him who follows his desires without any guidance from Allah (Sūratِ al-Qasas No.28, Āyat 50) In this verse following certain personal desires and whims is directly linked to being astray. In fact, it is the reason behind being astray. Desires can be a thick curtain over the eyes of the intelligence, refusing to let the light of wisdom in. It is interesting that this verse condemns those desires which are not in line with any guidance from Allah ‘azza wa-jall. This shows that there are some desires which incline towards good and virtue, that which Allah subhānahu wa-ta‘ālā has commanded. They lead a person towards truth and perfection. But it is the whims that are not based on any solid guidance which cause the downfall of the human being. Desires have been placed inside human beings so they may continue life on earth. Desires and emotions such as anger, love, attachment to the self, family, wealth, etc. all have a place and purpose in life. But sometimes these becomes excessive and transgress natural bounds. They take control of the mind and makes it submit. Men then loses the choice to act appropriately in line with his status as the khalīfa of Allah (swt). It is like the flood of desires, unstopped by any dam of guidance, sweeps him away. In another verse of the Quran, Almighty Allah talks about such people: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q25:43). Desire, for these people, is worshiped, obeyed at all costs. Logic and reasoning have no effect on such people. It is not that there is something wrong in the logic presented to them. Rather it is because of the veils of personal desires which are a barrier. Certain desires can make a person so attached to something that he loses the ability to discern. He becomes subjective and is blind to the truth. That is because a clear perception of the truth cannot be derived when there are emotional attachments to wrong. Such a disease is a huge affliction to the soul. It is becoming common today in a world which glorifies and indulges in desires. Imam Ja‘far al-Sādiq ‘alayhis salām taught this Du‘ā to the believers for clarity of thought and to stay away from following desires: اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي الْحَق حَقًّا فَاَتِّبَعَهُ، وَأَرِنِي الْبَاطِلَ بَاطِلًا وفَاَجْتَنِبَهُ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ مَتَشَابِهًا فَأَتَّبِعَ هَوَايَ بِغَيْرِ هُدىً مِنْكَ Allāhummā arinil-haqqa haqqan fa-attibi‘ahu, wa-arinil-bātila bātilan fa-ajtanibahu, walā taj‘alhu ‘alayya mutashābihan fa-attibi‘a hawāya bighayri hudan mink. O God! Show me the truth as the truth so I follow it, and falsehood as falsehood do I stay away from it; and let them not seem similar to me, for if this happens then I will follow my own desires without guidance from You. (Bihar al-Anwār, v.86, p.120).
This was definitely the first time I watched a how we met vid without getting bored from beginning till the end ♥️ such fun and nice people. May Allah swt bless your marriage Aameen
The cutest!!!!! Im not Arabic or Muslim but I have a lot of Muslim and Arabic girlfriends and Her enthusiasms reminds me of my friends and it makes me so happy and jitty
My mom is Russian and my dad is Egyptian and I actually had the opposite experience. My dad was really laid back and didn't care as long as the person was muslim and kind. My mom though was OBSESSED with the idea of me marrying an Egyptian. So I ditched all that and married a convert lol alhamduallah ❤️
Wow wow wow Big Moe never ever change your love for Allah and your wife is absolutely beautiful. He’s grounded, he’s respectful and he’s so down to earth! Also the fact that you waited was absolutely beautiful
I was feeling so depresses all day, because of not finding the right guy!! But watching your video made me so happy and i realised that if someone wants truly be withyou theyll make it happen especially in a halal way and seeking allahs validation which is so cute !!! Literally made my day thank you so much i love you guys i pray Allah blesses you with so many beautiful children who are the coolness of your eyes ameen
Do like what omaya and mohammed did....let his dad call your dad and go from there. 😉 Insha'Allah wish you the best and if it's meant to be it'll happen 😊
Smiling from ear to ear the whole way through. MashaAllah tabarakAllah MashaAllah tabarakAllah. May Allah always bless your union with those you love the most ❤
Ugh I wish this video was up four years ago. I dated a Palestinian(non Muslim) and after four years his parents had enough. Nothing was wrong with our relationship I just wasn’t Palestinian. I didn’t know I was dating the most prideful of Arabs.
@@sundes2807 Allah blessed us that’s the only explanation. We met online. We both were there for marriage not playing. We talked about what we both wanted and expected and it worked. 5 weeks of online talking I already knew I wanted to marry him. I flew to where he was with my mother after a week got married.
SubhanAllah all of us Pali 🇵🇸 have families that just want to keep that connection for the kids but Alhumdillah in the end I feel like every Pali dad is a softy and wants kids to be happy
MA. Your guys are my favorite and your genuineness is wonderful. May Allah protect you and sheild you from any wrongdoing. Keep on being yourself and you will be a great example for others. Much love.
I´ve seen many a Muslim couple´s "How we met" stories and this one made me watch it through without feeling annoyed or, sorry, irked at how so many just imitate the vocabulary and the mannerisms of the bad parts of mainstream culture (not the good parts). First of all: MASH´ALLAH AND ALLAH HUMMA BAARIK. I don´t think people understand how extremely blessed they are if/when they meet their life-partner all on their own (AND you get married). No arranged marriage (and panicky parents who treat you terribly because they are stressed), no forced marriage with the closest cousin that your dad is forced to import to the West as a sign of loyalty to his brother, no hoping that someone will just discover you, no trying to think well of Allah swt while you´re going through year after year but hardly even coming across Muslims. Then when you do finally see a Muslim man, you see the brothers opting for and chasing non-Muslim women who give them everything without marriage. (And you are a virgin, wondering if there even are clean, pious men out there). Or you´re trying to find someone halaal online because the country you live in hardly has Muslims, let alone educated, on the Deen and serious Muslims, and you discover that it´s full of brothers looking for second/third/fourth wife without telling, entertaining several women at the same time, or just chatting for excitement while they have a wife and kids in their country (and they´re asking for questionable photos of these sisters that they´re fooling). People just don´t understand. It´s so easy for them to ask you whether you are married or not (hardly even before they remember your name), and to immediately put you into a category or say the annoying "Aaaw, it will happen sister" (while you think "Hold on, why aaaaw...I didn´t say that I´m desperate or that I have cancer"). Allah is everything in our lives, our pillar, our hope and GOAL...but the community makes you feel inadequate, unwelcome, deficient and the worst....weird or even sick. So I´m saying a big "Allah humma baarik" for all who are blessed by Allah to have a similar process as these two. The sister is so beautiful that if I was even a third as beautiful, I wouldn´t know how to behave. I don´t know what it´s like to feel pretty or attractive. I only know what it feels like to be respected by men, alhamdulillah for that though. I really really wish all the new generations this kind of ease in finding a life-partner. I make duaa for all of you to find it, because meeting someone the halaal way is such a big part of the life puzzle, and us Muslims growing up in several cultures and not having our parents on our side (cultural Islam), is such a jihaad in these Western societies. It´s like we have 2 enemies: The mainstream society hating us for being Muslim, and our parents constantly working against us and enforcing their cultural dreams on us. They are good with the sons, but with daughters...parents can behave terribly on a daily basis, giving badd-duaas and taking out faults in our looks and clothes, like you´re someone they´re ashamed of (despite having a flawless reputation all life....which isn´t expected of the sons, as they are always loved despite ANY haraam). It´s too late for my generation of women. We are the leftover women, the first gen that were born in the West (most got arranged marriage, forced marriage to cousins or settled with inadequate cultural men...while the rest of us are over 35 and still single). I don´t know any married sister of my gen who is genuinely happy. They all settled and are now just completely there for their children. They don´t have a life of their own, as a woman. You sit in their house and FEEL how they´re just surviving on autopilot mama mode. They´re like 2 business partners just running a household with the woman doing 85% of the hard work (some don´t even share a bedroom or the husband is addicted to online fitnah). We are the invisible women of the ummah. Our maqsad, I guess, is to support our ageing parents emotionally, practically and financially (because our brothers are mostly "busy" like men make themselves with the mainstream society) and perhaps be good aunties. And that is noble too, I guess. My deepest, most genuine duaas for the new gen. I really feel happy for anyone that finds love the halaal way. May you all find what we didn´t. May Allah swt bless you all abundantly. My greatest dream is to do something for my Aakhira before I die. I´d love to start a school in a poor country, so that when I die, at least someone will give me duaa and not speak of me as the weird woman, the badnaseeb, or the inadequate one. I hope they will connect my name with being dedicated to Allah. That would be the greatest honour.
Sister don't give up and always believe in Allah. There are plenty of righteous muslim men out there. There will be people who are on the truth until the day of judgement, so always make dua and ask Allah to bless you in this world and in the hereafter. Sister everyone in this world has a test, In Shaa Allah you will also pass your test. Pray to Allah because you will find peace through prayer. The prophet (SAW) married Khadija May Allah have mercy on her when she was 40 years old and he was 25 . Always ask Allah THE ALL MIGHTY for beneficial knowledge of islam so that In Shaa Allah you will attain happiness in this world and the hereafter.
Literally cried when reading it .. It’s so hurtful to see our so called an Islamic societies having cultural Islam rather then having true spirit of this beautiful Deen .. May Allah SWT make easy the things for our young generation and children 🤍🤍
May Allah Azzawajal bless you with a righteous and loving husband, sister 💗 May Allah Azzawajal make you happy in this life and on the day of Judgement💗
@@m3ow517 I really don't like to hear that term although I understand exactly what was meant. Its just culture fullstop not Islam. It's awful the picking and choosing. JazakAllah so much for your positivity
I loved the story of how you two met mashallah! You two definitely handled it the right way and I’m so happy for you both! I’m actually also Palestinian and it hit me hard when u said how Palestinians are prideful when it comes to marrying their kids to the same culture and country it is so true 😅! I ended up marrying my cousin but my sister married someone from Yemen it was so hard for my parents to accept but they did at the end of the day but let’s just say it caused issues with relatives and sometimes my sister struggles because of the differences in culture but she’s happy and that’s all that matters. I wish that it could be more normal because at the end of the day we are all Muslims and all brothers and sisters and it’s not against our religion to marry outside your country. We all believe the same thing and so I only wish that it could be more normal.
Any tips on trying to convince families about marrying from different cultures? I am in a similar situation and do not know what to do. We are both muslim but I am Lebanese and he is Turkish.
How did you guys manage to stay friends for so long? I feel like I’m incapable of staying friends with a guy I like. The best relationships start to friendship as you said ❤️
Masha'Allah, y'all are such a beautiful couple, I'm so grateful that I had the chance to meet y'all during ISNA years ago. I've been watching since the OG Husband Tag Video and it's so cute to get a more in depth story. May Allah continue to bless you both.
May Allah SWT bless your relationship! It was amazing listening to your story! I admire your transparency and doing things for Allah's sake!!!! Amazing!!!!!!! MashAllah. I'm Palestinian and my husband is from Guyana alhamdulilah!!!!
MashaAllah may Allah bless your family, Pls understand the Dad, easier to find out about people if they in your community. As soon as he heard from her brothers, things went forward.
I’ve watched this video twice already. I just love your how you met story! I think bc it’s so real and relatable. And I love how it highlighted how certain cultures only want marriage within their culture but that Omaya’s father gave Mohammed’s family a chance and their first impressions changed his opinion ❤️ it’s a great lesson. MashAllah, you two were definitely meant for each other. May Allah continue to bless you and your marriage.
Same problem with my palestinian father😂 but the guy is not arab though. Even if the guy converts to Islam, my father preferes palestinians.. Please make duaa for my dad to aceept him and for the guy to convert to islam❤🙏🤲
May Allah bless your union! You can tell y’all are just the sweetest couple Masha Allah. May Allah give you all that is good in this life and the next. Thank you so much for reminding our youth that Barakah comes with keeping it halal!
My dad will accept whoever I want to get married to ethnicity wise, BUT he prefers someone from Bangladesh which is our ethnicity because he wants to keep a good rapport and communication with the in-laws. We'll see what happens, I haven't found anyone yet.
OOOOh people you are sooo adorable together may Allah bless you and protect you. 😍😍😍😍😍 P.S: 3 years of engagement is not a long time I know people that got married after 7, 8 years of engagement people just need something to talk about
Moe's a good person. You can easily tell. He's very humble, honest and nice. You two are made for each other mashallah
Masha'Allah
I believe a lot of Arabs are like that. I'm Iraqi Norwegian and it was expected for me to marry an Iraqi, however I married a Pakistani man. Mashallah his deen is strong. The character of a spouse is more important than culture matching imo.

I´d love to start a school in a poor country, so that when I die, at least someone will give me duaa and not speak of me as the weird woman, the badnaseeb, or the inadequate one. I hope they will connect my name with being dedicated to Allah. That would be the greatest honour.
Sister don't give up and always believe in Allah. There are plenty of righteous muslim men out there. There will be people who are on the truth until the day of judgement, so always make dua and ask Allah to bless you in this world and in the hereafter. Sister everyone in this world has a test, In Shaa Allah you will also pass your test. Pray to Allah because you will find peace through prayer. The prophet (SAW) married Khadija May Allah have mercy on her when she was 40 years old and he was 25 . Always ask Allah THE ALL MIGHTY for beneficial knowledge of islam so that In Shaa Allah you will attain happiness in this world and the hereafter.
Literally cried when reading it ..
It’s so hurtful to see our so called an Islamic societies having cultural Islam rather then having true spirit of this beautiful Deen ..
May Allah SWT make easy the things for our young generation and children 🤍🤍
May Allah Azzawajal bless you with a righteous and loving husband, sister 💗 May Allah Azzawajal make you happy in this life and on the day of Judgement💗
@@m3ow517 I really don't like to hear that term although I understand exactly what was meant. Its just culture fullstop not Islam. It's awful the picking and choosing. JazakAllah so much for your positivity
@@m3ow517 Aaaw dear sis, jazak´Allah khayr! Lots of love and duaa your way. Aameen to your duaa as well.
I loved the story of how you two met mashallah! You two definitely handled it the right way and I’m so happy for you both! I’m actually also Palestinian and it hit me hard when u said how Palestinians are prideful when it comes to marrying their kids to the same culture and country it is so true 😅! I ended up marrying my cousin but my sister married someone from Yemen it was so hard for my parents to accept but they did at the end of the day but let’s just say it caused issues with relatives and sometimes my sister struggles because of the differences in culture but she’s happy and that’s all that matters. I wish that it could be more normal because at the end of the day we are all Muslims and all brothers and sisters and it’s not against our religion to marry outside your country. We all believe the same thing and so I only wish that it could be more normal.
I did not skip a second of this video🤍 This was beautifully explained mashallah, you guys are amazing! May Allah bless you both🥰💗
So wholesome. I think I'm too old to find love like this.
Nah man, pray and ask allah and as long as you make your life better , allah will inshallah grant you whatever you want🙏🏻
Mashallah this is such a cute story ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing. You’re story inspires many and I pray one day you have beautiful children. Inshallah!
Any tips on trying to convince families about marrying from different cultures? I am in a similar situation and do not know what to do. We are both muslim but I am Lebanese and he is Turkish.
In Islam you choose who you'll marry. I'm not even muslim but I know. They can't disagree just because he's Turkish.
@@i.8885 It's not a religion thing it's culture. especially Asian parents
How did you guys manage to stay friends for so long? I feel like I’m incapable of staying friends with a guy I like.
The best relationships start to friendship as you said ❤️
But isn't this friendship totally haram?
Subhanallah so much barakah. Wish your marriage so much more barakah in the many years to come 🥺💕
My husband and i met and then it took us 10 years to get married too long to detail but just to join you and say that leave it in Allahs will 🤲
10 years halal Mashallah.
MashaAllah such a beautiful story may Allah reserve your marriage ❤️

Thank you for sharing your beautiful love story. God bless you.
MashaAllah may Allah bless your family,
Pls understand the Dad, easier to find out about people if they in your community. As soon as he heard from her brothers, things went forward.
I’ve watched this video twice already. I just love your how you met story! I think bc it’s so real and relatable. And I love how it highlighted how certain cultures only want marriage within their culture but that Omaya’s father gave Mohammed’s family a chance and their first impressions changed his opinion ❤️ it’s a great lesson. MashAllah, you two were definitely meant for each other. May Allah continue to bless you and your marriage.
Same problem with my palestinian father😂 but the guy is not arab though. Even if the guy converts to Islam, my father preferes palestinians.. Please make duaa for my dad to aceept him and for the guy to convert to islam❤🙏🤲
MashaAllah May Allah bless you and keep you always safe 🤲🏻😍 I was smiling throughout the video, mashaAllah your story is adorable 💕

Allahuma barik
My dad will accept whoever I want to get married to ethnicity wise, BUT he prefers someone from Bangladesh which is our ethnicity because he wants to keep a good rapport and communication with the in-laws. We'll see what happens, I haven't found anyone yet.
May Allah keep you guys together and happy always💕
OOOOh people you are sooo adorable together may Allah bless you and protect you. 😍😍😍😍😍
P.S: 3 years of engagement is not a long time I know people that got married after 7, 8 years of engagement people just need something to talk about
Masha Allah you guys are soo cute together...May Allah bless you’ll and keep you’ll united and happy forever...Aameen
