Q: I have come across a sister who is Alhamdullilah very nice and has good knowledge about Islam and even practices a lot. She loves me a lot and I too love her for the sake of Allah. I met her 4 months ago. But now the problem I am having is that she talks too much and I get irritated.

Everyday she calls me and talks for 2 hours. Each and every day she calls. If I am busy and I can't receive the phone she will continously call 15 to 20 times. I am quite an introvert person and I dont like to talk much. She says that I have to be an extrovert to call people to Islam. I Have to be open and talk to people.

I love her but this is something that is really irritating me a lot. She usually talks about Islam and Hadith but sometimes too much talking also leads to gossip and useless talks. I am not able to understand how to get rid of this. Can you help me from any hadaith or Quran which I can relate to her.

Is it not wrong to talk so much whether its useless or about Deen. I can't explain how much its irritating me. Should I cut off with her? If I switch off my phone she calls my brother.
