			As a Muslim, how do you talk about
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			* and intimacy during courtship with the person
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			you want to get married to?
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			Well, you don't.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Keep those things until after you get married,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			because you have the rest of your life
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			to discuss it, talk about your likes, your
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			dislikes, your fantasies, and then you explore and
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			bring them to life.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			You see, my father during courtship warned me
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			about something.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			He said, during courtship, do not let shaitan
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			be the third in the room.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			And unfortunately, during those moments, because obviously you
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			can't ask such questions if there's a third
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			party, shaitan is the third in the room,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			and he's just waiting to get to work.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			He is waiting to plant seeds of lust
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			in your mind and that eagerness to say,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			oh, maybe we let's start practicals before we
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			tie the knot.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			So be very careful in the kind of
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			topics you discuss, especially because at that moment
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			of courtship, you're both in love, you're both
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			eager to be together and be united as
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			a couple and explore, right?
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			So wait, press pause, hold on until you
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			get married, and then you start having those
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			kind of discussions.
