We’ve all been there. That one guy who slides into your DMs with a “Salam, sister,” and before you know it, you’re planning your imaginary nikah in your head. But wait. Why is the vibe off? Why does your du’a feel heavier? Maybe, just maybe, Allah is giving you the ultimate protection plan. Yes, the Divine Block List is real, and girl, it’s a mercy you didn’t know you needed.
Ready to spot the signs? Let’s dive into the 7 undeniable clues that Allah is steering you away from a haram relationship faster than you can say “astaghfirullah.”
1. Your Du’as Aren’t Getting Answered (And That’s a Blessing!)
You’re praying, fasting, making heartfelt du’as like it’s your job, but sis, he’s still ghosting you. And guess what? That’s mercy in disguise. Allah says:
“But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.” (Quran 2:216)
You think you’re missing out, but girl, you’re missing a heartbreak. Trust the silence. It’s divine protection.
2. Your Gut Feels Like a War Zone
That unsettling feeling? It’s not just nerves. It’s your fitrah (natural instinct) waving a red flag. When your soul feels uneasy, it’s a sign that this path isn’t leading to barakah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Sin is that which disturbs the soul and you dislike that people find out about it.”
If you have to hide it, question it. Allah is whispering, “Not this one, sis.”
3. Doors Keep Closing (No Matter How Hard You Knock)
Plans fall apart, texts go unanswered, meet-ups get canceled. Coincidence? Nope. It’s Allah’s way of saying, “Trust me, I’m saving you.” Sometimes rejection is redirection towards what will actually benefit you.
“And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him.” (Quran 65:3)
Trust that closed doors are just open gates to something better (like a halal relationship that doesn’t make you feel guilty 24/7).
4. You Feel Spiritually Drained
If this “relationship” makes you feel further from Allah, guess what? That’s not love; that’s a distraction. True love brings you closer to your Creator, not further.
“And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life.” (Quran 20:124)
Sis, if you’re feeling more Netflix and less tahajjud, that’s a sign.
5. You Keep Getting Random Islamic Reminders
Scrolling TikTok and suddenly, boom, Islamic reminder about guarding your heart? Random khutbah about halal relationships? Sis, that’s not a glitch. That’s divine Wi-Fi working overtime. Allah’s signs are everywhere; you just have to connect the dots.
“Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” (Quran 30:21)
6. Your Loved Ones Aren’t Feeling It
You tell your friends and family, and suddenly everyone’s side-eyeing this “connection” like it’s a bad idea. Don’t roll your eyes just yet. Sometimes Allah speaks through the hearts of those who love you.
“And consult them in matters. Then, when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah.” (Quran 3:159)
Listen to their advice. They’re looking out for you when love has you wearing blinders.
7. You Feel Relieved When It Ends
You thought you’d be devastated when it ended, but instead, you felt…peace? That’s not confusion; that’s clarity. Allah removed what was never meant for you, and your soul knows it.
“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (Quran 13:28)
Sis, that sigh of relief? That’s your heart whispering, “Thank you, Allah.”
Final Thoughts: Trust the Divine Plan
It’s easy to romanticize love, but not every love story is written in the stars. Sometimes, Allah protects you from what your heart desires to give you what your soul needs. So the next time things fall apart, don’t panic. Say Alhamdulillah and remember: what’s meant for you will never miss you.
Because in the end, the best love story is the one that starts with “Bismillah” and ends with “Jannah.”
