Q: Many brothers from our community are recently speaking positively about ISIS being the correct khilafa. Without getting into many unnecessary debates or arguments, I have been unable to debunk these brother's theories or supporting arguments. They seem to be convincing many others that this is indeed the jihad of Imam Mahdi and are preparing to embark on the journey to join. Much of their argument is based on the fact that Isis is not murdering anyone. That they are living just as the sahabah lived, and they are awaiting Imam Mahdi's arrival. Please guide regarding ISIS and the signs of the correct khilafa.

Q: My question is about girlfriend boyfriend relationship. I have a girlfriend and I do love her and she loves me too. My questions are as follows:-
1. Is it permissible in Islam to love a girl? (If we truly love her, without having any need or desire and want to truly marry her Insha Allah)
2. Is it right that according to a Hadith of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) it is better if we marry someone whom we love rather than marrying the one whom we don't know (i.e. arranged marriage)?
3. Can I keep a halaal relationship, if we have not done or not desire to do any dirty or haraam things with her?
4. Is keeping a relationship considered as halaal, or allowed if I want to truly marry her Insha Allah.
5. If she is my girlfriend and in future Insha allah I will marry her, then would she be a halaal wife?
6. Can I meet her in public places (one hafiz told me this)?
7. Can I touch her a bit also (holding hands)
8. Apart from touching hand what else is permissible if I truly want to marry her (means hugging or just sitting side by side together)?
9. All in all what are your views about relationships if I want to truly marry her and I truly love her? What is halaal and haram and what is right and wrong? What is allowed and not allowed under these circumstances? I will be very very very very thankful to you if you answer all these questions in detail so that I can understand well.
