STILL GET MARRIED TO HIM AFTER WORDS WTHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN?....

Answer:
Sex before marriage
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help
and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and
whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness
that there is no one (no idol, no person,
no grave, no prophet, no
imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone,
and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of
His Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17
Surah Israa verse 32:
Do not even go near ‘zina’ (fornication
or adultery) for it is a very indecent thing and a very evil way!
Allah Subhanah has commanded the believers to not
even approach or go near ‘zina’, for it is indeed a very indecent and evil way
and a grave and heinous sin and crime in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.
If in one’s ignorance, one has committed the sin of
‘zina’; one should immediately turn back to their Lord and seek sincere
forgiveness; it is expected that they will find their Lord Forgiving and
Merciful. But if one dies without
seeking forgiveness for their sin, they should expect a severe accounting in
the Majestic Presence of their Lord on an Inevitable Day!
The conditions or ways to
seek sincere Taubah or Repentance from the Merciful Lord are:
- One is aware that he has sinned, and feels sorry and ashamed at his sin.
- Makes a solemn covenant and promise with Allah
that he will not repeat his sin again.
- Turns to Allah and seeks forgiveness, before he has met with his appointment
of death.
- Is a believer and does righteous good deeds
thereafter.
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verses 53-54:
(O Prophet)
say: “O My servants who have wronged their own souls….Do not despair of Allah’s
Mercy! Surely, Allah forgives all sins. He indeed is the All Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him before
the scourge overtakes you; for then you
may get no help from anywhere.”
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan verse 135-136:
Allah likes
such good people very much, who, if ever
they commit a base deed or wrong their own soul by the commission of a
sin, remember Allah instantly, and ask for forgiveness from Him for their
shortcomings. For who, but Allah,
can forgive sins? (And Allah
loves those) who do not knowingly persist in the wrongs they did. These will be rewarded with forgiveness from
Allah, and with Gardens beneath which
canals flow, and they will reside
therein forever! How excellent is the
reward of those who do good deeds!
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah Furqaan verses 63-71:
The (true)
servants of the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the earth. When the ignorant people behave insolently
towards them, they say, “Peace to
you”; (And those) who pass their nights
in prostrating themselves and standing before their Lord and pray, “O our
Lord, save us from the torment of
Hell, for its torment is killing! It is an evil abode, and an evil resting place”. (And those) who, when they spend are neither extravagant, nor miserly,
but keep the golden mean between the two extremes. (And those) who do not invoke any god but
Allah Alone, nor kill a soul
unjustly, which Allah has
forbidden, nor commit ‘zina’… He
who does this shall be punished for his sin,
and his torment shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrection, and he shall abide in a state of ignominy; EXCEPT THE ONE WHO MAY HAVE REPENTED (AFTER
THOSE SINS), AND HAVE BELIEVED AND DONE
RIGHTEOUS DEEDS. For then, Allah will change his evil deeds into good
deeds, and He is very Forgiving and
Merciful. In fact, one who repents and does righteous
deeds, returns to Allah as one rightly
should!
Allah says in
the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse 54:
When those come
to you who believe in Our Signs, say:
"Peace be on you! Your Lord had
inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy.
Verily if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented and amended (his
conduct), Lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Your Question: BUT STILL GET
MARRIED TO HIM AFTER WORDS WTHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN?....
If one has committed ‘zina’ in one’s past and
sought forgiveness for their sin from their Lord Most Merciful, it is
considered permissible and lawful in Islam to seek the hand of such a person in
marriage, if one wishes to do so.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due
to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.

wisher in Islam,
