The Rocking Hijab

Well, honestly, I might not be the best person to talk about this, I mean, it has only been 1 and a half year but inshaAllah I will try my best to give you some insights on what to do and what not to do . I assume everyone here wants to get married, the difference is whether you want it early or much later in life. I have nothing against those who decide to marry later, I mean, that's totally up to you but me, personally, the reason why I wanted to get married early was because I feel like settling down. There will be one point in life, no matter at what age you felt it, that you feel that you are bored being single and what's left to do is get married. So first up is, 1. Get married when you're ready Don't get married just because everyone else is. Marriage is not about who's next and being married is not a big deal at all. Get your intentions straight and you will hear this coming from me; there is nothing to be ashamed of for getting married to make your r...

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran Everytime me and husband went for a taxi ride, we always get free marriage counseling from the taxi drivers.  It was uncanny how the taxi drivers got excited whenever they knew we're actually a married couple since both of us were like so young(to them) and our looks didn't help that much. I was once mistaken for a 3rd Former. 15 y/o, seriously? So anyways, this one uncle is a Malay muslim and he has been married to his wife for 45 years now. He told us that it will not be the same way as it will be like the first few weeks of marriage. For the relationship to grow, we will need to tolerate and be patient with other  and all that John Gray's stuff. Interestingly, I asked him a question, well, we're all students of the university of life aren't we? Th...

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran He's really embarrassed about this but I'm just gonna post it anyway. This scraps was made using Scrap Pad for iPad (That's the name for the app...I think).  Sometimes, things do happen just the way He plans it. :) Am glad we found each other though the story was kind of random. :) "Sometimes we can't just say "Allah has a better plan for us."  We have to believe He does."

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran *** The longer I am in marriage life, the more I am baffled to why people would resort to premarital relationship a.k.a 'couple'. When you're dating, there are lots of things you can't do (by Islamic law, that is) and also no matter how much you love him/her, it's not really secured until they are married to you and especially to girls, marriage is a form of security you can't get from relationship outside of marriage. And when I say 'security', I meant in terms of physical interactions. Let's say you've done almost everything with your boyfriend, should anything happen, nauzubillah, you can't get him to be responsible because he's not committed to you on black and white. So marriage is basically a contract to give justi...

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran *** Alhamdulillah, finally, FINALLY I get to write again. I seriously thought that I might stop writing because like, seriously, I can't get the mood to write. Guess I have been quite busy since the wedding and also, since the new semester has just started, a lot of adapting needs to be done so yeah, I was terribly thrown off the course. It was kind of hard, really, all the adapting that I need to do. Being a wife of 3 weeks now, I can say that I have learnt a lot so far. Especially in terms of the social aspect that I have been lacking since...well, since forever. All in all, it's the beginning. I hope I will be able to write more. Soon. :) Oh. It's good to be back in the blogosphere. Heh. "Sometimes we can't just say "Allah has...

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran *** Alhamdulillah. Finally I am able to write after quite a long time. I have been busy. Real busy. Alhamdulillah everything is now settled down and here's a few photos of the event. 26th of August 2012- Akad Nikah 1st of September 2012- Walimatul 'arus With mummy and lil brother. :') Yeah, my mummy came all the way from Sarawak for my wedding. Alhamdulillah. :) :) That's all for now. Salam alaik and peace out~ "Sometimes we can't just say "Allah has a better plan for us."  We have to believe He does."

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran *** InshaAllah in a few hours time I'll be on the bus to Kamunting, Perak. I am going to celebrate the first few days in Bagan Serai at my keluarga angkat's place until the 23rd where I'll leave Bagan Serai for KL until the 25th. InshaAllah my akad nikah will be on the 26th of August/ 8th of Shawwal. Pray so that we will be able to fulfill one of the mitsaqan ghaliza, that is the marriage, as quoted from Muhammad Fauzil Adhim in his book Kupinang Engkau dengan Hamdalah, " Menikah merupakan sunnah yang diagungkan oleh Allah. Al-Quran menyebut pernikahan sebagai mitsaqan ghaliza (perjanjian yang sangat berat). Mitsaqan ghaliza adalah nama dari perjanjian yang paling kuat di hadapan Allah. Hanya tiga kali Al-Quran menyebut mitsaqan ghaliza. Hanya unt...

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran *** I think this poster says it all. Pray for us so that this union will bring us to Jannah inshaAllah.
