Important Topics to Discuss When Considering Muslim Marriage
Assalamu alaikum everyone! As a Mexican revert to Islam, I'm trying to learn the proper way to approach getting to know someone for marriage, especially since I don't have a wali to guide me through this process. I want to make sure I'm taking this seriously and being respectful, while also covering all the essential bases. What are the key questions I should be asking to really understand someone's values, character, and how compatible we might be? I'm thinking about topics like: - Religious practice and commitment - Family expectations and relationships - Financial matters and responsibilities - Life goals and future plans - Everyday habits and lifestyle I'd be so grateful for any advice from those who have experience with this or knowledge about what matters most when considering marriage in our faith. What did you wish you had asked, or what questions turned out to be really important in your own journey? JazakAllah khair in advance for your help!
