when the girl is asking you lots of questions but not taking notes :rolleyes: and shes asking you about your deen and personality and shes laughing at your jokes and you like the questions shes asking and they sound mature... also if she stops and thinks about what your saying and then asks more questions.... hmm if u feel confident enough to throw a few teasing questions or jokes ... if they tell u to stay for food...

a big no no is if the girl just walks in the room and starts giggling and just has her hand over her face because shes not used to not wearing nikaab :smack:

I find that kinda strange.

some choose not 2 due to the excess baggage of eaves dropping wali and co...go figure. i always stay upstairs, but last week i did something different, i had a meeting and i did speak to the bro face to face (1st time for everything), altho brief as i was shy, he did most of the talking...i chose to see him, as i didnt want history repeating itself, looking back at what happened with my ex fiance.

islamically it is allowed for them to talk face to face and to look at each other properly b4 they agree to marry. culturally especialy with somalis, the bro sees the men and maybe the head of the women (like mother and right hand aunt)

whilst the girl stays in a separate room.

i have no idea how to tell if i am compatible with someone, i would leave that to my walli to judge for me, cos i get along easilly with most people and can appreciate most peoples sense of humour etc. talk easily with them adjust to their customs, ways etc. and hmmmm looking back i dont think in my whole life i have ever known someone who was completely on my wave length and for me thats what its all about ..but then again maybe no two people are truely alike maybe its just a little bit alike here and there, ultimately i dont think u can really tell what a person is like until till after ur married.... well i cant anyway :scratch: hmm goes away to think about this some more...

nah -seriously I find it well funnay.

All our cousins and mates from mosque take the mick when someone says that - in our MP culture its extremely dodgy to call someone brother or sister when you considering them for marriage.


We remember once - a wedding back home and at rukhsati time the groom says in MP that if the sister doesnt want to go then dont make her :rotfl:

The villagers called the Mawlana back to read the nikah cos they feard whatsitcalled - zihaar

i cant remember what my family call p/s as my somali sucks.
ask beebee and co

well they are their brothers and sisters in Islam until they are married they are not anything else ....anyway thats not as strange as saying "my cousin brother" and "my sister cousin" when people try and say that they are that close with their cousins they are almost brothers and sisters therefore "mahrams" for each other and sit and chat and dont cover in front of their cousins :smack:

09-04-07, 02:35 PM
i think a girl should do more listening then talking
ask a few relevant questions
if the guy talks about himself and doesnt take any interest in asking u questions then that might mean he is self centred
his questions will be a big clue for what kind of person he is
if he asks u things like 'do you cook well?' rather than 'do ou pray 5 times?' then that should tell you what hes like
i think if he can make u feel comfortable and agrees with anything u say then thats a good start:up:

i agree with u
many asian people say cousin sister , cousin brother and then do not cover in front of these people or if the girl does cover then the cousin brother or his family objects to it
if a muslim and muslimah are not married then they are fellow muslims so u culd say 'muslim brother' or 'muslim sister', i dont find that strange

ok bint this may seem drastic but it works believe me it really really works.

suppose your rents want you to marry some dude, believe me no ammount of heart to hearts would change their minds they would keep going on till u give in.

so heres where u shave ur head:D ur hair should take maximum 2 years to grow back to back length, thats enuff time to delay to init.

Bint yusuf-what i do is make myself look irresponsible. that would put any right minded bro off. also ur somali like me, girl its real easy, just act like ur culturally lost. speak broken somali.its another put of, the bro would think what the?

back to tha question..although i haven't been in that situation i would probably say flowing question after question after answer after answer way before the time you arranged to start to leave.

However wouldn't it be akward and maybe start beef if lets say hyperthetically i was to ask tha guy do you intend on having more than one wife, ma pupz would flip. Infact my pupz would probs try tell me what questions to ask beforehand:rolleyes: . Infactttttttttt he would probably settle with some khat!:rolleyes: daughter=khat win win situation!

I assume you know it went well if after you've asked him..

..if he does any housework, if he can cook, how much money he owns, does he prefer a merc benz over a limo, how many maids can he afford, whether he would consider investing in a private jet, how many properties he owns throughout the Bahamas, how many shares he owns with the House of Fraiser..

..and he hasn't eyed up the exit door the whole time or ran out.

niqabi true :) you also can tell by his facial reaction b4 he has to leave. if he looks at u and his eyes sparkle plus he has a cute shy smile his tryna hold back it means his almost sprung, all together now aww:o

Be more careful about what you post and where, even if it is a joking matter as there are etiquettes of joking even between sisters.

My honest perspective is as long as u treat your feelings with caution and remain firm and wise when studying a potential spouse. Never let emotional attachment get to u cuz you'll lose it. I also think when conversing with a potential spouse its not all about current affairs and stuff but feeling quite comfortable with ur p/spouse,even when u remain quiet, u know u feel good like the atmosphere is right (and off course a third party is around), but u can still put yourself in check while chatting. My advise is when going to see your p/spouse remember death a lot and then make sincere duas, i believe you'll be true to each other insha'Allaah. May Allaah guide to what is best for us.Allahumma amin.

I adise all of us to take the time to contemplate and remember the story of Umar(radialahu anhu), when he wanted to marry off his daughter Hafsa...and cant remember the story word for word, so i dont want to relate it all incase i am wrong, but the point im tryin to make is, the Prophet(sallal lahu alaihi wa sallam) said to Umar(radiallahu anhu) that there is someone better out there for Hafsa(radiallahu anha) than Uthman(i think so anyway), and there is someone better for Uthman(radiallahu anhu) than Hafsa...and in the end...Uthman married the daughter of the Prophet(salal lahu alaihi wa salam) and Hafsa married the Prophet(saw)!!!...So Allah has something better planned for all of us..One door closes...another opens.
And ive seen many brothers who marry sisters who are not even on the same Manhaj as them, with the reason that, we will change them, and alhamdulilah that is a great thing, and many times it works.he should marry a sister who has same love and zeal for Allaah,Rasulilah (salal lahu alaihi wa salam) as him, and is willing to sacrifice....Question her and find out about her before u even start thinking of wantng to marry her,same goes for sisters,before one starts thinkin..he would be a good bro to marry..or he would make a good husband...make sure u know everything about him Insha'Allah...

I adise all of us to take the time to contemplate and remember the story of Umar(radialahu anhu), when he wanted to marry off his daughter Hafsa...and cant remember the story word for word, so i dont want to relate it all incase i am wrong, but the point im tryin to make is, the Prophet(sallal lahu alaihi wa sallam) said to Umar(radiallahu anhu) that there is someone better out there for Hafsa(radiallahu anha) than Uthman(i think so anyway), and there is someone better for Uthman(radiallahu anhu) than Hafsa...and in the end...Uthman married the daughter of the Prophet(salal lahu alaihi wa salam) and Hafsa married the Prophet(saw)!!!...So Allah has something better planned for all of us..One door closes...another opens.
And ive seen many brothers who marry sisters who are not even on the same Manhaj as them, with the reason that, we will change them, and alhamdulilah that is a great thing, and many times it works.he should marry a sister who has same love and zeal for Allaah,Rasulilah (salal lahu alaihi wa salam) as him, and is willing to sacrifice....Question her and find out about her before u even start thinking of wantng to marry her,same goes for sisters,before one starts thinkin..he would be a good bro to marry..or he would make a good husband...make sure u know everything about him Insha'Allah...

Its quite hard to really know if a meeting with a spouse is going well, if you mean in that they both are very interested in each other, and would like to meet again or say yes.

Some people are likely to judge you straight away after seeing you without even having spoken a word to you, if she/he is a person who looks are very important to, then you may have suceeded or failed, if failed then even if your both talking well with each other etc, she/he is gonna say no.

Some people get along with everyone, and are good at small talk, getting conversations going, and you may find yourself talking about lots of topics, and it may seem its going very well, but to judge whether the person is interested in you further, is impossible to tell.

lol, trying to get into the mind of the prospective rishta. Don't try it, you'll only go around in circles, or end up convincing yourself the other person likes you or doesn't. Some people are just very polite, good listeners, which may give you the impression that they are interested in you further, while others who may like you and wish to progress, may look disinterested etc. Add a spoonful of nervousness, and the whole judging the other person becomes quite an equation.
