How to know he's the ONE 💕 Muslim Perspective + your answers! 💖 The Blushing Giraffe

Hello everyone! Heres a chatty video all about how to know if someone is the one. It's a daunting part of any relationship, but doing the research, asking the right questions (and indeed enough questions!) and most importantly understanding exactly what YOU want and need in a marriage make it that little bit easier.
This was more of a rambly video than I had expected but hopefully beneficial still.
0:00 - intro
2:20 - the three lists
5:25 - Ask LOADS of questions!
7:25 - what does married life look like to you?
12:30 - morals and values need to align
14:24 - sects of islam and schools of thought
17:05 - 100 questions before marriage?!
19:24 - Lets talk money!
20:53 - the sacrifices women make
23:35 - Red flags are red for a reason
24:55 - how YOU knew he was the one🥹

    My wife shared this video with me..... I 100% agree with everything u have said. It is so important to have these conversations pre-marriage and understand what your non-negotiables are, as well as identifying red flags etc. Couple of things that were'nt mentioned but are also important is indentifying if u and your potential spouse can help each other grow. Also making sure that you have each others backs as and when required. Will definitely be sharing this video with family.

    I totally agree! I think especially within the asian community, theres such an emphasis on the wedding and just getting married in general, but not enough discussion with the next generation on what should be spoken about beforehand - and s you said, knowing rights and responsibilities on both sides! Thankyou so much for watching and for your comment xxx

( Protection for Idol Worshiper ) Quran 9:6 "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah.

They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.'' Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God. ( > Allah Quran 22:40 [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. ( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? ) Quran 5 48 ''......

    I’m sorry to hear about the dysfunctional family, you’re not alone in that and may Allah swt allow you to marry a man who will show you all the joys of marriage in this world and the next ameen. My advice would be to ask these questions gradually not all at once and definitely not infront of everyone. For example if you’ve been formally introduced via an acquaintance and your family are aware of you talking, you could have the conversation over text for some of the questions and then at a meeting where a mehram is close by, ask other questions then, but prep him by saying, ‘I’m serious about marriage and I’ve got a few questions I’d like to ask so I know if we are on the same page or not. Please feel free to ask me questions too regarding your expectations etc.’ hope that helps xxx
