Where is my soulmate islam

This ayah references the creation of Adam and then Hawwa Eve in the Bible , from a single soul. My Mother and Father had one of those perfect meet-cutes. They met in college and felt an instantaneous connection, including butterflies and dramatic declarations of love. Growing up, I witnessed the magnificence of their love through the highs and lows of their marriage and felt that they were surely soulmates. But then one day, they divorced, and I was forced to change my beliefs. After some years, I realized that, while different in their formation, and without much of the trappings of what we are taught to look for when searching for love, these new marriages are ideal.

These second unions are not band-aid attempts to patch up broken hearts or wounded egos, but they appear to be the same ethereal, crafted-pairs by Allah SWT. I now focus less on labels. I try not to get caught up in initial feelings, or lack thereof. I try not to get disappointed when things do not work out. Instead, I have shifted my attention to tawwakul, reliance on Allah.

By placing complete reliance on and trust in Allah, first doing my part to actively find a spouse, and then giving control over to Allah to guide my decision making, I feel more at peace. I have full confidence that if marriage is in my future, it is Allah who will guide me to the right person.

March 25, admin. Fatwa ID: Answered by: Maulana Naieem Mohammad. If everyone has a soul mate. Le Gai Eaton in Man captures this in his commentary:. Eve was no temptress so for as the Islamic tradition is concerned. And although they were exiled, as were all who lie upon this earth, they were promised by Him Who is named the Ever-Forgiving, the Effacer of sins, that their posterity would never be left without guidance through the dark alleyways of the lower world.

Through this, we see that while the latter are an essential category in the cosmology of Islam, they are not stagnant in the sense of being biologically designated to male or female. Indeed, while we also find a polarity existing between the more Jalal, rigorous and Jamaal beautiful attributes we also find they are not confined to relationships of the romantic sense. We are all a few letters away from Pure Being, God as itself.

Separation from The Absolute is impossible. Bolton, Robert. Brown, Raymond Edward. The Gospel According to John. Cambridge University Press, Gottwald, Norman Karol. See what Allah unfolds before you. Is this person able to be a upright and loving spouse? If she is, you are able to marry, and you are both struggling to be apart from each other, then it would be better for you both to get married. Consult a relationship counselor to ensure that both of you have enough similar values upon which to build a solid marriage.

Being attracted to one another is insufficient. This will be painful at first, but it is better in the long-run. Anything else will prolong your unwanted attachment to each other, making it harder for both of you to move forward. Remain chaste and ask Allah to send you a righteous and loving spouse. Spend your time making istighfar, salawat upon the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him , and know that in time, your heartache and guilt will ease.
