It is wrong for you to keep contact. Dear brother a friend I know was in a similar situation. He became religious and told the girl that I can't talk to you but if you are interested in marriage you can contact me in another 4 years when I finish university. Anyway he received an email after 4 years and the girl said I assume you are finishing university and are now looking to get married. The patience paid off and he got married after not talking to her for 4 years. I pray that ALLAH grants him and his wife al-firdaws and blesses them with pious children. Brother a little bit of patience goes a long way. Also since you are in Dubai try and visit the markaz (tableegh) every thursday and try to spend some time with the tablighi brothers. I pray that ALLAH gives you the ability to give up this sin ameen and make you patient. You can talk to her all you want after marriage. But for the moment be patient.

Masha'Allah brother, it's good to know that you seek religous advice rather than asking from any psychologist. Besides what other brothers have said, may I suggest you give it some time. By time, I mean, get into the religious gatherings, pray salaah properly and abstain from any evil sights. Insha'Allah you will see things differently.

Why and how am I saying this with such confidence? Well, both of my most closest friends have had a similar situation. When I told them to give it some time, they yelled at me, said "no !! it's different! I want to marry her". Ironically, both of them couldn't/didn't and now they're saying "you were right". I heard from Maulana Ameen Safdar Okarwi Rahimahullah that Isa Alaihis Salaam once encountered Shaytaan, he asked Shaytaan mal'oon, "When is the man in your most control?" . Shaytaan said " On two occasions , one is when he's overcome with anger, and the other time when he's overcome with desire. At that point, man is to me as a ball is to a little child, I can make him do whatever I want".

In a Hadeeth, Rasoolullah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said "Sight is (like) an Arrow". Another Hadeeth says " Women are the Arrows of Shaytaan" and further I think it says that "he uses them to capture the (hearts) of men."... May Allah forgive any addition or subtraction by mistake.

Therefore, NEVER get carried away by a girl. I suggest once you've given it some time, and you feel like marrying, send your parents and inquire about he religious leaning, and what kind of character she possesses. Remember that personality is what's on the outside, character is what's on the inside. So Always go for character over personality and looks. Looks fade away, personality may change over time, but character remains.

May Allah give us all hidayah and make us His servants...Aameen
