Salam, I think you did the right thing. Once Allah has guided you and you have asked His forgiveness and guidance, and you sincerely live up to the promise of obeying Allah it is your duty to not to talk about whatever bad you did in the past, if you want Allah to forgive you. So, even though he should not insist on knowing your past. Ask him if he is interested in your past of your future, only if he is being too investigative, I hope he is not. Pray to Allah often to bring peace, love and understanding between two of you. If he is also a practicing and good hearted Muslim he will understand and look forward, not backwards, Inshallah. May Allah make your path easy, Ameen. Hasan |

Salaam,
Sister let me ask you, do you feel good and comfortable not telling him? how are you feeling now? if you feel good and comfortable than you don't have to tell him, you tell him or you are not the benefit is for you, not for him not for somebody else. It's for your peace of mind. you can keep your secret or your past as long as you want to. Trust life and let it flow, by any means is when you trust life it's mean you trust Allah, and you know Allah will never let you down, Allah will give you what the best for you. And if your heart keep telling you to tell him than tell him, if he is not accept your past it's mean he's not accept who you are and not deserve you, Allah will give you somebody else who deserve and love you unconditionally and Allah blessing will come to you.. amen... And when he accept you than you know he's the right person for you, the gift from Allah just for you. Just believe, trust Allah & life stay blessed |

Walaikum salaam wa rahmatullah Sister, you were right by answering him with a NO. It was your past, also are we not allowed to expose our sins Read this saying of our beloved Prophet { sallal lahu alayhi wasallam } Abu Hurayrah reported: �The Messenger of Allaah said: �Every member of my nation will be forgiven, except those who expose their wrongdoings. An example of this is that of a man who commits a sin at night which Allaah then conceals, but, the next morning, he goes and says (to people): �I committed such and such a sin last night� - while Allaah had kept it secret. During the night Allaah had concealed it, but in the morning he tore up the cover provided by Allaah Himself.� [Al-Bukhaari & Muslim] All Praises be to Allah, The Merciful, that the beauty of Islam is everytime we sincerly repent, we do get remembered of the sins we committed despite repentance. And every time repent for that sin, we are not only forgiven, but also rewarded as that sin is turned into a good deed. SubhanAllah. So sister, you may remember your sin tomorrow and may feel that you were wrong by hiding it with your husband, then don't pay an ear to those whisperings. Wishing you a happy married life :) Edited by seekshidayath - 03 July 2011 at 6:31am |

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

I think what you need to ask yourself, is this, are you willing to start off your marriage and a new life with your husband, based on a lie?
If you do marry him after having lied to him and if for whatever reason he finds out later on that you lied to him, he will at the back of his mind be wondering what else you lied to him about.
The best way would be for you to tell him the truth. and if this marriage is to be then it will still happen, but you cannot start off your new life based on a lie.

Yeah, I also see no good reason to reveal what Allah has concealed, and which you have sought repentance. What I find extremely important is that once you are married, that you never, ever, mention this. There was a recent study that said: "Your brain doesn't like to keep secrets. Studies at the University of Texas, Austin, have shown that writing down secrets in a journal or telling a doctor your secrets actually decreases the level of stress hormones in your body. Keeping a secret, meanwhile, does the opposite."
Your brain also doesn't like stress hormones. So when you have a secret to tell, the part of your brain that wants to tell the secret is constantly fighting with the part of your brain that wants to keep the information hidden...." http://www.npr.org/2011/05/31/136495499/incognito-whats-hiding-in-the-unconscious-mind |

If he insists then there is no future in this marriage!
It begs the questions, why does he want to marry you for what qualities in the first place? |

Salam,
To me you should keep the 'bad' past for yourselves, unless he insist.

Walaikum as-salaam. I agree with brother Semar. What you did in the past is over and done with. There is no reason to bring it up. However, I think you can be honest with your fiance but remind him that you made a mistake and that you have repented. If he is a good Muslim, he will look past your mistakes and focus only on the present. We all make mistakes. No one has the right to condemn us except Allah (swt), especially if we have repented and moved on.
