Muslims in the UK

Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, and upon his family and companions. To proceed:

The jurists differed regarding the requirement of compatibility in marriage, meaning that the husband should be compatible with his wife, that is, equal to her in status, and a peer to her in social position, moral level, and financial status. Ibn Hazm went so far as to not consider compatibility and said: Any Muslim - unless he is an adulterer - has the right to marry any Muslim woman, unless she is an adulteress.
A group of people held that compatibility is considered, but it is considered in terms of uprightness and character specifically, so no consideration is given to lineage, profession, wealth, or anything else. Thus, it is permissible for a righteous man who has no lineage to marry a woman of noble lineage, for a man with a lowly profession to marry a woman of high standing, for a man with no status to marry a woman of status and fame, and for a poor man to marry a rich woman as long as he is a chaste Muslim. If the condition of uprightness is not met by the man, then he is not compatible with the righteous woman, and she has the right to request the annulment of the contract if she is a virgin and her father forced her to marry the immoral man. This is the opinion of the Malikis and those who agree with them.
Some jurists believe that there are other matters that must be considered in a man, including lineage. Arabs are equal to one another, and Quraysh are equal to one another. A non-Arab is not equal to an Arab woman, and an Arab is not equal to a Quraysh woman. This is a view held by the Shafi'i and Hanafi schools. Another is profession: if a woman is from a family that practices a noble profession, then a man with a lowly profession is not equal to her. If the professions are similar, then the difference in them is not taken into account. This is a view held by the Shafi'i school and a narration from Ahmad and Abu Hanifa. The more likely view is that of the Malikis, who consider uprightness and good character as the primary criteria for compatibility in marriage. This is based on the verse: “ O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you” [Al-Hujurat: 13]. It is also supported
by the Prophet's saying: “ If someone comes to you whose religion and character you approve of, then marry him. If you do not, there will be great corruption and mischief on earth.” This hadith was narrated by At-Tirmidhi from Abu Hatim Al-Muzani, and it is the view favored by Ibn Al-Qayyim , who stated in Zad Al-Ma'ad: “The Prophet's ruling necessitates considering religious compatibility as the foundation and perfection. Therefore, a Muslim woman should not be married to a disbeliever, nor a chaste woman to a wicked man. The Quran and Sunnah do not consider anything beyond this in determining compatibility.

They like, you match, they just unmatch and block you. I just don't get it. Why like in the first place 😂

Muslim males or none-Muslim males?

Muzz has been a horrible experience no matter how many of your own filters you use to fish out the bad men it feels like it’s impossible to find a normal decent Muslim man.

I’ve become sick of muzz no matter how many breaks I’ve had it was the same issue, then muzz the app became a problem. I was having a normal conversation with a TEACHER he randomly sent me an inappropriate pic I didn’t reply to it I quickly went to report it while I did he said it was a mistake LOOOL… Anyways what did muzz do? They gave him a warning lol. What I’m trying to get at is that this experience created a lot of doubts and new curiosity for me.

I started thinking are all men like this or is just south Asian (SA) Muslim men (okay okay not all) so I downloaded another app and started interacting with non-Muslim. It has changed my views it’s not all men it’s most Muslim men on these apps that are the problem. Not once have I felt uncomfortable or sensed desperation from these non-Muslim men I’ve only experienced respect kindness appreciation healthy boundaries I remember one night getting emotional about how my view towards all men has changed but unfortunately realising that the majority of the south Asian men on this app are purely lustful desperate and more words - there’s a small portion that aren’t I know.

So as I am now drifting away from muzz it’s made me realise that there’s such a clear different in approach when it comes no non-Muslim and SA Muslim men, could this be because SA Muslim men are pressuring themselves to find someone? Is it because in Islam Zina is not allowed so they feel more tempted to do something forbidden? Do SA reject the idea of controlling their lust?

This post isn’t to encourage anyone to follow my approach. I myself have been struggling a lot since muzz it’s tarnished the idea of being able to find a civilised Muslim man, if you would like to share any advice I’m open to it I don’t believe my opinions are set in stone I just can’t find the light in this Muslim environment. I’m sorry if my words have hurt anyone

Anyone from devon ,

Many people think the Qur’an is something to focus on later in life. In reality, the journey with the Qur’an should begin from the very start.

Let your children grow up hearing the words of Allah. Play the Qur’an at home, in the car, and during everyday moments. Even when they are too young to understand its meanings, their hearts become familiar with the speech of their Lord. You would be surprised by the barakah it brings, the love it plants in their hearts, and the lasting impact it has on their lives.

Why do we place the Book of Allah second? We prioritise everything else, school, sports, entertainment, and endless conversations, yet the Qur’an is often left until there is “time.”

Make the Qur’an the foundation, not an afterthought.

Through the barakah of the Qur’an, Allah opens doors, grants clarity, strengthens memory, blesses studies, and fills life with guidance and tranquillity. Success does not come by effort alone, it comes with the blessing of Allah.

When you’re driving with your children, what fills the journey? The Qur’an, or phone calls and meaningless talk?” Those few minutes could become moments of immense reward and a means of nurturing a lifelong connection with the Book of Allah.

Raise children whose ears are filled with the Qur’an, whose hearts are attached to the Qur’an, and whose lives are guided by the Qur’an.
The one who honours the Book of Allah will never be deprived of its blessings.
