My Muslim Heart: Dating Outside My Faith (Dating Documentary) | Real Stories
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2023
- Hidden Heart follows the stories of three second-generation British Muslim women who find love outside their faith. The film delves intimately into their struggle to reconcile modernity with tradition; their internal conflicts and their fear of ostracism and sheds light on the hidden tensions in our modern society between integration and tradition and the people who are at the heart of it. The film explores a new vision of cultural identity, defying the notion of a so-called 'clash of cultures' and challenging barriers to understanding between different communities. Although focusing on the lives of British men and women, the film will strike a chord with any and all of those around the world living in a tight-knit community, under pressure to maintain their identity.

I would never change my religion for a men . No men is worth that , love yourself first
That's the thing u don't change ur religion for another human being. It is Allah who guides whom he wills. And if He wants u to change ur religion and become a Muslim then He will through another person or just like that without anyone telling u to become a Muslim. So it's really not up to us, it's Allah. That's why we Muslims r extremely grateful and thankful for Islam bcuz Allah has chosen us to worship Him and guided us to Him. Idk if you understand but I just try to give you our Muslims perspective to it
Exactly. Non Muslim women should also respect themselves and their families and never marry Muslim men or convert just to get married to them...
I must respectfully clarify that the assertion presented contains misinformation. The issue at hand is not a reflection of the religion Islam but rather cultural practices prevalent in specific regions and communities, particularly in the Subcontinent and Arab cultures. As an African Muslim, I can attest that no one is compelling me to marry a cousin or relative, nor are parents arranging marriages for me. It's crucial to understand that cultural practices can differ significantly across various regions and communities, even within the same religious framework. Islam, as outlined in the Quran and the teachings of our Prophet, promotes independence for women and does not endorse compulsion in matters such as marriage. It's essential to differentiate between cultural norms and religious principles, as misrepresentation can lead to misunderstandings. I hope this clarification helps provide a more accurate perspective on the matter.
So you'rre basically saying everything good is from religion and everything bad is from culture? How realistic is that position?
For example, arranged marriage is as Islamic as it is a part of Desi or Arab culture. Especially for girls. Both our culture and religion encourage communal and familial obligations over the individuality we find in the West.
When it comes to Islam vs Culture, the rule to follow is almost always: Everything good came from the culture that place had before Islam, everything bad comes from Islam.
To an extent ur right, but the thing is people have to realize there is nothing wrong with arranged marriages. This is very different from a forced marriage and people need to realize that. I also wanted to say that this video is about women dating outside of their faith. The two problems here is that they are dating, which is the issue and is haram, and second, they are getting with people outside of their faith which is veryyy haram. As muslim women, we are not allowed to marry a non muslim man, only muslim men are allowed to do that (marry women from monotheistic religions). So the fact that people are taking it as Islam doesn’t accept l Muslims to marry others from different cultures and ethnicities is pissing me off. Its actually totally okay, and Muslims from all backgrounds should be treated equally, it’s just the only thing that’s not allowed is that, like mentioned earlier, Muslim women cannot marry non Muslim men. Period. Otherwise it the marriage isn’t valid and she’ll be living the rest of her life in haram.
Ok great did u know quran.permits men to have sxx with girl children before puberty?

Forced marriage is illegal in the UK. This includes:
taking someone overseas to force them to marry (whether or not the forced marriage takes place)
arranging a marriage for someone who lacks mental capacity (whether they’re pressured to or not)
arranging a marriage for someone before they turn 18
Forcing someone to marry can result in a sentence of up to 7 years in prison.
Forced marriage is also prohibited in Islam. I think the documentary should have highlighted that the forced marriage was based on the (Moroccan/Indian) culture- not Islam. It is not allowed to force a girl to marry someone she does not wish to marry.
@@mercurys2333 and also it isn't allowed to marry outside religion.
@@What_do_you_want. which is a good thing. Marrying outside of your faith is a horrible idea and more often than not it will fail.
@@mercurys2333
Even it's not allowed in Islamic religion, still the reality is that kind of situations happen a lot, because they don't follow the religion, but they follow only their own culture and own interests 👊🏻 🤷🏼♀️
@@mikidiasexactly. It’s annoying when people pretend those atrocities don’t happen. Forces marriages do occur due to culture, and control.
Growing up here in western world made me even stronger in faith Alhamdulillah. Islam made me a better person, a better human being, and my life is thankfully the best today as I got a good husband a beautiful kids and a loving family, all thanks to Allah the almighty

This is why it is important for parents to beet their disobedient daughters and not let them out of the house unaccompanied. If you follow Islam properly your children will turn out ok.

My brother converted to marry a Muslim girl. His heart wasn't in it. He didn't go to the mosque or learn the prayers. He converted for the sole purpose of marrying her. Eventually they got divorced and that was the end of his brush with Islam! He later got married again to a Christian girl and has two beautiful children.
Thank goodness. Religion of “peace” always converting others through manipulation, force or violence.
He is a hypocrite, he shouldn’t have converted to Islam if his heart wasn’t in it
What a relief, Leaving Jesus and in to a cult could never calm his inside.
Well she can charge him for fraud if he pretend to be muslim for marriage but now they are divorced.
That’s all on him.
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen to date. I love all these strong women and their true husbands. That is what’s needed to raise loving families.
Yes indeed. I have so much respect for them. They are for sure STRONG 👸🏾👸🏽👸🏿👸🏼👸 QUEEN'S!!!!
❤❤❤❤
There is Nothing respectful of being a repel of culture or religion.
"As the old African wisdom goes: The one who leaves his culture is a slave" because you adopt someone else's culture by making yourself beholden to them.
Interesting that Islamic man are allowed to marry outside their faith, but women are not allowed to do the same....?? Women have to be covered completely and men can be in shorts and wear revealing clothes, smoke, drink alcohol with NO problems... So, this is not oppressive to women?
some lefties will say no
Thank you!!
Not really they tell the women 2 convert.
And even them most families are not happy about it.
Only cos u don't know the truth.
Second guessing as always
Your understanding is wrong ,do proper research and then comment.
Shut up 🤫☕ Men aren't allowed to wear short, drink alcohol or marry a Pagan Polytheistic women.
It all matters on how much you, personally, want religion to be a part of your day to day lives.
The only reason anyone would want Religion to be part of their life that badly, is if they have been indoctrinated from a young age.
The problem occurs when others want to impose how much religion should be part of your life, as this film shows. That is the tragedy.
@@purgetheheretic as if y'all don't force your lack of beliefs onto us too. I don't believe in compulsion, to force me to wear the hijab or to take it off. Fyi I wear the hijab and plenty of you zealots have abused me to take it off. Why?
Exactly, this is the problem in west They want you to leave your roots and become irreligious, otherwise you are shunned, thats what most women are saying here.
@@purgetheheretic The problem in the west is of Islamophobia. They want to shun it and adopt their culture otherwise you are shunned from society.

In your culture maybe yes, but in Islam it's written in bold & no rules can be changed to your convenience they are followed without question & if you can't you'll have regrets & consequences later in life, follow your own or lose everything especially Muslim women who chose against their culture & religion ......
Yea but its still retarded to date outside your religion also probably a sin in most religions so I'dnquestion how devoubt the religious partner really is.
Not as easy as that sweetheart, the amount of fear control and violent threats are widespread within my culture which is depicted in this programme. I finally escaped my forced marriage and I never looked back. Ultimately I turned my back on the religion I was born into. I live an authentic honest life now. My children are content.
@@muhydinaden552 I know this. I'm speaking idealistically
These women are very courageous and fortunate that the men in their families did not kill them!

The seat of both love and faith is the ♥️ Beautiful documentary on a very important topic, thanks to all the portrayed women for this openness🌼Many faiths propagate same-faith-marriages, but it is really a regulation which needs to be discussed!
Thank you so much for being so brave to share your stories with us.
Wonderful doc, individualism vs collectivism, modernism vs traditional. Im from Africa and im quite modern but i can see culture clashing, collectivism is about your family and society, your personal opinions don't matter, you have to please everyone but yourself.
Individualism is about self, self improvement, independent, individual opinion. Im married to a white European man and im black African, it takes a lot of work mentality, emotionally, physically, financially. Love is a powerful force, you can move across the world for love. Beautiful stories ❤️
Well said
We are a melting pot of culture, religion and colour and that for me is just perfect.
If you introduce your children to another culture, you must accept that your children may fall in love with someone from a different faith.
And then it all starts...
I wish they covered men’s side of the story.
Yes. We need to know both sides of the story.
There IS only one side

@@monicacosby4605 That’s the problem.

In Islam, both women and men have the right to choose their partners as long as it acceptable according to Islamic guidelines.
This was the perfect day to see this! ❤❤❤
I just think life for Asians be they of Indian or Pakistani heritage is difficult for them living in the West. And I have found most people who convert only do it to be accepted by the other and not because they really believe.
Don't include hindi indians
True, as Hindus are "anything goes".
Only in Muslim families.

I'm so happy that all three of these kind, conscientious, intelligent, beautiful Muslim girls are happily with or married to the men they fell in love with. They deserve it after all those years of struggles and heartbreak.

There is Nothing Islam in that. They are basically saying 'we follow our will, Not God's will'.

And Creator is more important
Good on you ladies
Great watch. Thankyou
The true authentic love of a woman for the man she chooses is one of the most powerful emotions on earth. With this exclusive love, a man will be blessed, supported, revered, and naturally served, because she believes in him..but it must be her choice. Blessed are the men who are truly loved by a woman.
Yo a genius
Is there a similar vid dealing with the muslim ladies who had to convert to Christianity ?
@@davidmurphy4676
Extremely unlikely. Apostasy in Islam can easily get you killed. If not, then definitely disowned and shunned by everyone, with no possibility of rapprochement.
Unfortunately they will both probably end up getting cheated on many times because these men will know that they will never leave and be accepted by their families again or community
@@davidmurphy4676doesn’t happen 😂
At a certain point in one's life, one must accept the realization of being an adult, and then actually make an adult decision. If you want to marry someone, then do it and deal with the consequences in a mature manner. Being of the same religion is not a prerequisite to a happy or a successful marriage. Love and respect for one another are necessary. I am a Christian married to a Hindu. I've never made my wife do anything she hasn't wanted to do, and nor have I ever prevented her from doing anything she has truly wanted to do. By the love and grace of God, we have had a wonderful marriage now for 47 years..
How did you bring up your kids knowing that they have parents with different faith?
Other religions can co-exists, but definitely 1 cannot.
With corruption, money and propaganda they are being moved around the globe to destabilise and conquer in an unconventional invasion.
You compromised your faith, as Muslims we cannot do this. There are rules and regulations, you obey God's commands or don't. its your choice, there is a reaction for every action. Kids brought up in a household like yours will bound to have a rebound effect due to thee confusion and non religious foundation built by the father.
@@rubybakir4998Nah, they just have a better, more moral and more compassionate religion than you. Its always a joke when Muslims quote the Quran saying "it is made the deen easy for people not hard" when it takes the most simple and beautiful thing in life like falling in love and makes it incredible hard and painful.
@@JH-zs3bs
Easy deen..... does Not mean or include giving in to your base desires and lust.
God ordered for piety, self control and respect for religious sanctities.
It's what you get when you say you are a Muslim.
That's the deal.
And Islam is Not by compulsion. It's personal choice. You are free to adopt something else which is Not Islam.
But don't claim to be Muslim while doing the opposite of a Muslim should be doing.
Rather a straight unbeliever than a Two-faced hypocrite.
Besides that; under Islamic rule, that lady is living in sin, by marrying a non muslim, which is Not counted as legal marriage in Islam.
But she still remains Muslim, so long as she does her other obligations like praying 5 times a day and believing in God and his messengers.
She is technically Muslim, but in a sinful situation.
And if she repents and changes her ways, God is merciful and accepts repentance. But if she persists on her ways, God will deal with her in manner which He only dims fit.
“and the greatest of these is love”
I have to admire these couples. I totally get this struggle as a Catholic who fell in love with a Hindu. We are told to love our neighbour. It takes courage to put aside differences and plough forward.
I really connected with their stories as a 1st gen immigrant. I appreciate their honesty and vulnerability. Especially the girl who married the guy called Anthony, I thought she was especially authentic and you could see in her eyes the pain from what she went through. I feel inspired by their strength to never give up on living life on your own terms.
7:05 Thats awesome. He's preventing you from a traumatic experience Masha'Allah.
Which In many British fashion magazines i've read, I've realised it happens to all cultures.
I really like how protective your Dad is, and how he's not saying "don't play with your male cousins".
He says "play under my eupervision". Plus he's not one sided.
He's protective with all guys in general.
Such lovely young ladies and very brave. God bless them.
Its not allowed in our faith
Love is real. Service to one another in love within the bond of a family is real. Real is when they care for each other in sickness. Love is the only thing that matters.
There are many gods in the world. On close inspection they are all man made. It only wraps its tentacles around loving people who do not question but pray, pay and obey.
Religion is what make this world to stink.
Of course there is a loving creator, we are all connected to that entity. There is definite incredible power granted to us individually, one of the greatest is the power of discernment. The scales fall off one's eyes when one begins to "see".
I am very happy with these beautiful and incredibly intelligent women. I had to shed one or two tears of joy for you.
As someone who comes from a religious and strict Arab family. Family don't speak to me after marrying my husband. It's been years since we last spoke.
Good for them, If my sister or daughter choose to marry a non-Muslim i will gonna disown her. They have right to whomever they want but within Muslim community.

What's the point in love if you're ending up in he11 and she at the end ends up in heaven after serving time. Islam is the truth. Hence why a women can easily made a rash decision and so will need her father to help her and wake her up. If she goes with emoti9ns than reality.

When u marry someone from a different religion, do u get married in both religion , like Muslims do a nikkah and catholics marry in a church ( correct me if I’m wrong )
There is Nothing Islamic about your practice of marrying a none muslim man. As such marriage is Not considered legal.
A Muslim means someone who submits to the will of God, Not your own will.
And the Love of God should be more worthy than the Love of a man. One must put God first before desires.
Am Not in anyway suggesting you are Not a Muslimah. Because One becomes Muslim by believing Allah and his messenger; and practicing the 5 daily prayers.
The marriage bit it's a big sin and the door is open for you to repent to Allah and mend your ties with Allah.

Love this story telling. Nice and human. Unbiased.
My first question is , if muslims believe their faith is the most important thing, why are they moving into Western countries with their own religion and philosophy?
In regards to true Christian doctrine, parents are to raise up their children according to the Bible, and that will continue until the child leaves their parents home. The only thing parents can do, is discipline them, and give them the reason why things are withheld from them. By just giving them rules, without telling the reason or consequences behind the laws, this is where I believe we do a great disservice to children. Ultimately, when they leave their parents home, all the parents can do is hope that they have taught their children well, because they must be given freedom to make their own choices.
The idea of controlling children, or forcing them into arranged marriages is repulsive. If you are born into a culture, where this is all one knows, or is socially acceptable, I can comprehend it, but moving to London and then trying to impose these values on your kids is absurd.
You Christians don't follow the bible that's for sure so stop lieing about that one

I don't blame your Christian family tbf. Same if my child joined Mormons or JWs or another sectarian cult like Islam. The ummah thinks they own you. It's very scary. and please don't use the term revert. it's very bigoted term towards people of faith esp Jews and Christians who also believe in God.
And will your muslim husband also allow your kids that freedom? If so, you found a good person and I wish you luck!
All man made rules. Ok for the man not the woman
Especially in Islam, EVERYTHING is for the man's benefit. Islam is zero for the woman.
A religion that forces you to convert is not worthy of respect as it is implying that religion is superior when obviously it’s not. Everyone should have the free will to believe and practice what they like and marry who they want to without apparent laws like this in their religion. If you expect your partner to convert to your religion to marry you, you don’t accept them for who they are, religion and all.
Well if ur not Muslim u won't understand
No religion forces anyone to convert ok! It's always a choice. And actually God is more important. A Godless life means people usually are unhappy and live like crap.
It's your opinion, we will not gonna fo the things which are prohibited in our religion ☪️.
Religion belong to God. It's superior. You are some one who worship your own desires so you follow a philosophy that align with your religion if slf worship
Good documentary.
I think no human should ever be at ease knowing that the partner was blackmailed into converting. If they voluntarily do it, well and good. But if it's your family pushing him/her to the edge till they result to a decision they'd have never made...then, your convertee spouse is living in religion captivity.
You met a grown human and loved everything about them. They're well mannered, loving, handsome/beautiful, responsible and every virtue, then someone imagines that it's ok to rob them off their faith/ religion😥 It's selfishness. Dreams of a loving couple shouldn't be shattered by religion.
I have seen a Jew getting married to a Christian with not having to denounce their faith. I have also seen a Muslim girl marrying to a Christian man and they are still together but away from the troublesome family.
At some point love is going to win over religious intolerance.
You can only find peace from the prince of peace.
You can only find peas from the prince of peas.
Christ Jesus IS The Prince of Peace. HE Is The Wonderful Mighty Counselor.
i am nothing without my Savior & Lord. i am eternally grateful HE saved my soul.
Peace and Love to all.
🙏☮️❤️✝️🙏
Yes Papa Nurgle, the great unclean, we are all the same in his loving arms.

I would like to clarify some misconceptions that I have encountered in the comments. Muslim women are not allowed to marry non-Muslim men, and non-Muslim men or women cannot convert solely for the purpose of marriage. Muslim men, on the other hand, can marry women of the book, although this is disputed as some believe Christians are no longer true monotheists. While the practice is allowed for men, it is generally discouraged, and these rulings are not in dispute.
One of the tenets of Sharia is obeying the law of the land, and women are free to make their own choices. However, in the eyes of Islam, the marriage is considered null. When consummated, the individuals involved remove themselves from the framework of Islam, and this is something they must accept. Nevertheless, compassion for them is not precluded.
The reasons why Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men are numerous, and I will list a few below:
Inheritance rights
Mehr rights
Family rights
All of the above fall under Islamic marriage contracts and cannot be enforced when a Muslim woman marries a non-Muslim man. Contrary to popular belief, Islam actually provides robust rights to women within marriage. Examples include:
Meher (a woman sets a price for her hand in marriage)
The man has to provide all financial needs, and the woman's money is her own. It's often joked that "the woman's money is her money, the man's money is her money."
No obligations for chores.
The ability to divorce.
Additional requirements that can be set during the marriage contract.
In Islam, we believe in love, but we also hold the concept that love is developed over time through trials and tribulations, not blind lust. The key principle is the harmony of the family unit, which takes precedence above all else.
What this means is if a couple devorces for example a clean split with no kids, the man keeps all his assets and the woman only walks away with her meher the price that she sets, think of this as a built in pre-nup, as she has no requormemts for any contribution towards the household.
There is more complexity to all of this, howeber this is just a broad understanding as to why the rules are set the way they are.
Today law courts for women has changed, after divorce she gets it all, I mean ALL 😂
U convert bcz u found the faith not bcz if someone u fall in love with 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
As a Muslim we are told to marry another Muslim because our whole life depends on Islamic etiquettes .. from the food we eat, to clothes we wear, to fasting in Ramadan and we are suppose to enjoy this with a spouse of the same faith .. if it was a faith that you just carry individually in your heart as a personal thing, then it’s different 😊
No. It was because Mo was highly discriminatory and wanted to spread the faith by using women as chattel.
@@rcc8506Nop from thé Quran Muslim m'en Can only marry jewish or Muslim women, Christians are Idol worshipers they are no meant to bé married by Muslim men, but our men did invade and made babies as they went you are correct, however our prophète Muhammad peace may bé upon him never encouraged that behaviour
you mean only women
@@rcc8506 just shut up
nice documentary
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. ONE LOVE !
All this madness and pain caused by the belief that there's an invisible man living in an invisible kingdom in the clouds.
We are social beings and to fall in love is part of being social. So why does society dictate its cruel rules as to what is appropriate about who to fall in love with and who is forbidden!
Nice doc
So shameful, as a Muslim. Everyone one have the right to love regardless of religion
Bro we don't care about their opinion, it is haram for women to marry outside the religion and we will not gonna change our religion for west.

Strong women.Best of luck to their lives..Love knows no bound or religion, it's how you trust and have faith with each other.
Islam divides human into Muslims and Kaafir ( Worst of creatures). It’s discriminate against not only against Kaafir, even against men and women. Thats why, I’m Ex-Muslim, Now.
And in Judaism there's Goyim or Jew. But In Jesus there's neither gentile or jew, servant or free, woman or man. It's incredible to me how all 3 religions can trace themselves back to Abraham and have much in common but also differ on many aspects.
As for me, I choose to follow Jesus.
@@m.willow11it's literally the same copy pasta in every Case
@@Flaschenteufelexcept for the point just made. Keep up Hun.
I am happy for you!
@@keef78 you forgot the "Up" after made. Sure the bible is completely void of anything related to god being angry and killing millions for not acting as he wants them to. Definitely not tons of smiting of non-believers and hundreds of parts saying that everybody is equal but sure there are those believing at the "right" skydaddy that makes them always a tiny bit more equal.
It's always the same in every single version of this bs in basically all of those over 1000 religions we got.
But jeah, sure, your imaginary friend is the real deal and superduperextraright. Also very special. Mhm.
Jesus said Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Praise God 🙏🏻
Bruh your a idol worshipper be quiet fool
It is so disgusting that some people raise their children in Western societies and then force them to live by the traditions of their parents home country. Moreover, I often got the feeling, those kind of people look down on the culture and the people of their chosen new country.
Which leaves me with the question, why they didn't stay where they came from...
They immigrate to the West for Welfare.
Totally agree with you!!
There are plenty of reasons why someone may have to stay in a country that they disslike. But I agree with you whole heartedly on your first point because you really have to be a special kind of div to not consider the possibility that raising your child in a multicultural country will result in that child *shock* *horror* to have deep and meaningful relationships with people from all walks of life. If they don't like that idea then they should refrain from having children.
When Anthony’s dad said he would convert too if Anthony’s mum was of a different faith 🥺
The truth is, when we believe in any religion, we must study that religion so that we solidly understand how the religion works and we also we must be the practitioner of that religion. If we say that we believe in any specific religion but we do not embrace it physically and wholeheartedly, then we are hypocrites.
If we are not believers of any religion, then just say to other people that we are agnostics.
Unfortunately islam is so unknown to the western world and even to the muslims themselves.
This is the most complicated religion because of the cover up lies that is going on in present times.
I really recommend an Arab called Christian Prince because he shows islamic references as it is without sugarcoating.
I got my life threatened by my Muslim friend's family because I asked his sister to prom.
Probably best to keep your distance from Muslim girls if you don’t want to be the cause of an honor killing (or getting yourself killed.)
I hope you aren’t too traumatized. Good luck.
That's a bit of over reaction 😂. I'm Muslim too but my family would just complain nothing more. I think British parents would do the same because of the fear of unknown
Be a Muslim and you marry her in the eyes of God
So what happened then?
The more I hear about religions, the more I believe there should be none. That would make everything easier for everyone, seeing what unites them and not what separates them. There should only be faith without the constraints of any organized religion.
When you love someone why convert... this is the biggest problem.
These young Ladies are very courageous.
I think being a white western woman I am very lucky. These women must face horrendous struggles. But you have to be happy whatever else. I don’t care if my children marry white, black, Muslim, Chinese etc as long as both are happy, they love , care and respect each other. I really feel for these girls who face such challenges. But those challenges and that guilt just proves what lovely people they are. So in effect their parents have a done a good job. It’s so sad but I can understand how difficult it is for everyone involved. Just wish I had answers! X
You should actually care whom they marry. Imagine if your daughter gets married to a strict muslim man and they force her to wear the burqa. Would you be happy in this case?
@@desiguy5508 I think that would be her choice. No I wouldn’t be happy about it and there would be discussions but ultimately I wouldn’t push my daughter away or lose her for anything. My children are now all grown up and have chosen their life partners so it’s not going to be an issue. I just find it so sad that religion comes above the love for your child .
you are very priviliged even if you might not be personally wealthy because you can live free from society's demands.
@@desiguy5508 if she as a grown woman decides to so what there's to do? A parent might not be happy with their children life decision but they should accept them.
@@desiguy5508
U modi lover .
So it's OK 2 marry a Hindu and say a cow is ur mother.
Not everyone forces there wives 2 wear burqa
I’m sooo thankful I was born into a very and I mean very liberal Iranian family,grandparents as well,they supported my siblings and I,in who we married.. We all married NON MUSLIMS AND NON IRANIAN..
You guy's ain't muslims anyway so it don't matter
Well for us muslim our faith is important
Iranians are not good Muslims ,anyways
we have to give account of our life v soon to allah 😊
Being forced to change your religion to be with your partner is nuts.
These women have chosen their lovers over their faith and their creator , Life is too short so do whatever you want if you don’t believe in the hereafter ..Remember thou we all gonna die sooner or later !!!
God puts two souls together for a reason
Ah the religion of peace, so respectful and loving. Simply a ancient scourge that should be eradicated.
You will die but this religion will never. 😂😂
The issue at hand is not a reflection of the religion Islam but rather cultural practices prevalent in specific regions and communities, particularly in the Subcontinent and Arab cultures.
Wow the first lady her dad came to the UK in 1950 and her mum in 1973 that is 23 years...long time...I am sure the father went for visit but still.
That means he came with his parents when he was young and her mum came over from her country after marrying her father.
He must have had another woman in the UK too!
@@rosahacketts1668 If u mean outside of marriage that we don't know, maybe he had sexual relations with other women in UK ,maybe he didn't but as far as marriage goes she does not mention her father having another wife,plus that's illegal in the UK.
When you put your feeling before your creator you will ultimately feel soulless.
Not for a wife or anything would i give up The peace & personal relationship with God that i found through my lord & savior jesus christ
🙏 Amen to that Planner🙏✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️
Christ Jesus IS The WAY,
The TRUTH & The LIFE.
the paradox of giving up your principles for love is that you end up losing respect.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Incels unite! You can always find a good reason why you suck at dating instead of improving yourself! Being gods chosen is top tier, congratulations!
you personal relationship with god is just that, personal
there is voluntary celibacy (recognizing the vanity of sterile intercourse for the sake of pleasure), the devaluation of implied by fornication (today called 'dating'; physical intimacy without promise of commitment), and self-improvement which stems from self-love.
indeed, that 'incel' is a slur shows what the accuser values.@@Flaschenteufel
