Summary
Ok...this story is INTENSE to say the least! + I was mentioning it to a dear sister I know and the details me picking her jaw up from the floor. She was like, "No way! This does not happen in the Muslim community!" + Am I going to tell you a marriage story about an arranged marriage??!! Definitely not! + This story is pretty unique and yet ohhhh so typical for our people believe it or not. I thousands of girls who have this same story and I need it to be told out in the open. + To bash Islam? Of course not! Instead, to teach our people where our CULTURE is taking preference over our religion. To talk about some things that are causing our young people pain that is soooo unnecessary. + If you are looking for love, are a parent that has to marry their child off in the future or are just curious about what Islam REALLy says please take a listen. Let's dig into Mariam's story and get to the heart of where things went wrong. Hopefully, it can make things easier for our beautiful potential brides and grooms and end the madness once and for all! + If you haven't already caught the first episode in this Love Series, (Episode 85) called "Why We Can't Date in Islam", you will find it here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-85-why-cant-we-date-in-islam/id1447820372?i=1000458811822 + If you are interested in a couple PRO tips on the signs for if you have found "the one", check out my resource here: https://mailchi.mp/mindful-muslimah.com/10signsthatyoumayhavefoundtheone + Catch me on my Facebook page (Mindful Muslimah) at 7pm for our first ever Facebook Live.
