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.
Your Question: We both
want to be forgiven for the mistake we made.
My beloved sister in Islam, if one is ashamed of one’s past deeds, and genuinely turns to The Merciful Lord and seeks sincere repentance for the deeds one did in the past, and makes a solemn covenant with his Lord that he will not commit the evil again, and believes and does righteous deeds thereafter; he will find his Lord Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Whatever
sins you might have done in your past, if you sincerely turn to the Merciful
Lord in sincere repentance and Taubah before your
appointment of death, and amend your
conduct hereafter; it is expected that
you will find your Lord Forgiving and Merciful. Never ever despair of Allah’s Mercy; for Allah Subhanah
is extremely loving and Merciful towards His believing slaves.
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.”
The
conditions or way 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 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 adultery… 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 I
heard from somewhere that if a couple have intercourse before marriage they are
not allowed to get married in Islam.
If a couple commit the sin of fornication or have sexual intercourse before marriage, and subsequently seek repentance for their sins from the Merciful Lord, there is absolutely nothing in Islamic Law that would prohibit their marriage to each other.
