2) GENDER RELATIONSHIP

If you are not married yet, Islam encourages marriage to avoid the risk of falling into temptations and indulging in bigger sins such as fornication  and adultery.  Allah, by His Divine Wisdom has forbidden all  pre-marital or extra-marital relationships.  Thus dating, hugging,  touching, lustful glances and thoughts of anyone besides your spouse is  forbidden.  The most recommended place to look for a spouse is to ask your Muslim brothers and sisters closest to you if they know anybody who is compatible with you.  Also, try getting yourself involved in islamic activities such as study groups or classes where you will have a chance to get to know more people and thus increase your exposure.
