some things you must just not over think

Q: Before Muhammad (S.A.W) became a prophet, was islam a religion present anywhere around the world. I know that prophets before Muhammad (S.A.W) conveyed messages to worship one God(Allah), so does that mean that islam was present. If so, i sometimes get confused as to how khadijjah was the first woman/person to become muslim.

did i lose my right to demand?

Q: I have a question regarding a serious matter. I am brought by my aunt. I stay with her. My parents have given me to her as she does not have kids of her own. I received a proposal from a cousin of mine who is a very nice person by all means- religious, prays, fasts, good conduct and well educated. My guardians- my aunt and uncle who brought me up, have agreed to him. But my real parents make issues and our denying the proposal with no solid reason! their only reason is I should be marrying someone they choose for me.
Inspite of the fact that my cousin is well known for his manners in the entire family yet they are objecting to it. Now that I am about to marry him they have threatened me of the fact that my nikah would be “batil” as they are not agreeing to it.
Kindly help me out in this regard. I do not want to be a sinner nor do I want to lose my cousin.
