It was at night time when the traffic light went red & all the honking started.. I turned my head to find this huge number of cars, on the other side of the road, honking their horns around this cutely decorated car carrying a groom & his bride.. I was so happy seeing that & hearing this beeping going on :) I was the only one who started honking on my side of the road (I hardly honk & hate that noise! It's funny how can one thing express anger & at other times express joy!) The drivers from the other side started looking at me & smiling even more; happy with my reaction :) The only thought I had was: "MashaAllah, another house is starting in the light & two souls are uniting while declaring it to the whole world :)".. Isn't it such a beautiful fact that one of the conditions of a marriage contract, is to announce it publicly? The lights went green & I left them with a sincere prayer in my heart for them :)
~I found this amazing book in the bookstore last weekend.. I bought it along with other books, but I started reading it first.. "From my sisters' lips".. Just by reading the dedication, I was so overwhelmed: "For my husband, the wind beneath my wings"! How lovely is that! I so wanna see Na'ima (the author)! I saw her heart & got so connected! I'll leave you with one of the things that I've got to know, for first time ever, from her book: The shahada (the statement of faith) has conditions attached to it:
1. Knowledge
2. Sincerity
3. Truthfulness
4. Certainty
5. Love
6. Submission
7. Acceptance

It amazes me how with a shaikh and a few moments some words repeated & prayers recited... 2 different lives are united and forever (or in hope to be forever) changed into one. Sub7anAllah!
And the shahada part is 7 simple words with endless value.
Maryoomy,
Of course I don't mind :)
It's the begining of each letter of the 7 conditions of shahada..
DG,
I just read it & I'm happy to say that you did a good job :)
batoulaaaa,
I knoooooooooow :D
I pray Allah blesses your brother with the happiness & love that Allah has talked about.. Amen :)
Asalamu Alaikum Sara,
I totally love Naima B. Robert...May Allah (swt) shower His blessings on her..Ameen.
I remember reading that book a few years back, I was so engrossed in it for days, I didn't want to put it down. It was so heart warming and inspiring.
Sara, may you find the wind beneath your wings, Insha-Allah.
Take care.
Regards,
BD.
alaiky assalam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuHu BD,
