Asalaamu Alaikum readers (if there are any),
It’s been a while hey! What can I say, but life just gets in the way! As per usual I have a lot to say on lots of things, lets see if I can make any sense here…
If you read my previous post from back in October, you may have picked up on the fact that I was going through a difficult time. Difficult would be putting it lightly to be honest.
In that post I focussed on the importance of God’s timing with everything in life. Nothing can happen without His will. But if you trust in Him and His plan, you will get through it.
And Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), I did. Even though at the end of last year I was miserable with no idea where my life was going in regards to so many aspects, I still kept faith. And Subhan’Allah (Glory be to God), I cannot even begin to express how much my fortunes have changed since we came in to 2019.
Over the past coupla years Twitter has been my ranting place. A place where I just express my thoughts and feelings on so many things. And over time, I have connected with a few girls on Twitter, expressing the different journeys we are on and the hard times we were going through. It helps a lot, knowing you are not alone and other people are going through similar hardships. And I love them for the sake of Allah (SWT). To anyone going through any sort of hardship right now who may be reading this post – it does get better. Just keep faith, God’s got you – I promise.
If Allah knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (Qur’aan – 8:70)
As cheesy as it sounds, its true – When one door closes, God will give you something so so much better. Better than you could ever imagine.
So where am I now, almost 6 months into 2019 and nearing the end of the blessed month of Ramadan? Well without spilling too much information (can’t have all my business out on the internet now can I?!), what I can tell you is that I am happy. Really and truly, so happy. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), all by his mercy.
A bigger bombshell I should probably drop to my blog readers (if there’s any of you out there anymore) is that I got married! Yes, a week before Ramadan I completed half my Deen and it still hasn’t fully sunk in quite yet. We celebrated our 1 month anniversary on Monday which is crazy to think.
Time is flying and it’s so sad how we are nearing the end of this blessed month already! My last Ramadan at home before I move in with my husbands family… I’m excited and at the same time a little daunted at what the future will bring. But I know God has my back and that I will be okay, Insha’Allah (God willing). What I will request is to anyone reading this, please keep myself, my husband and my family in your humble duas (prayers) during this blessed month. I would really appreciate it.
I still have a hell of a lot to do in regards to planning my Reception/Walima. So keep an eye out for some wedding planning related content soon!
Peace & Love,
