Sailing off into the sunset

So we have finally reached the end...

It has been quite a journey from the first date. We've looked at the unstoppable and uncontrollable mysteries of love in forbidden situations. 

* How culture dominates religion

* The intriguing aspects of online dating

* The forbidden zina

* Relationships between different races

* Teenage love

* Desires between the same sex

* Money for marriage

Some of the issues I have discussed have show how love gets us into some tricky situations. An emotion that leads to forbidden encounters, even for Muslims. At the moment an act such as dating has become so normalised that some of us don't realise the dangers that come with it. But all this should all be in the name of marriage - to complete ones deen.

On a final note I guess some would say "all is fair in love and war" but in Islam I don't think it is. Islam is based on the Shari'ah, there is no picking and choosing, but following a law of rules which I'd say cannot be bent. Yet these issues I've discussed in previous posts will always remain, I'd be surprised if there was a sudden change. 

Love is controversial... Religion is controversial = Together it reaches a whole new level
