Muslims do not have a specific term for a "girlfriend" in the same way that Western cultures do. This is because premarital relationships are generally discouraged in Islam.
Instead of using the term "girlfriend," Muslims may use terms like:
- "Close friend"
- "Special friend"
- "Someone I am interested in"
It's important to understand that these terms are used in a more general sense and do not necessarily imply a romantic relationship.
In Islamic culture, courtship and relationships typically progress within the framework of marriage.
