This is the story of my life…. May 11, 2015. The proposal of my parents dreams. The weeks passed by quickly and soon it was the weekend of the proposal. As much as I was complacent about the meeting, I was also very anxious. It’s no easy task being the scrutiny of so many gawking eyes and that always made me nervous. I also didn’t know what to expect. My parents however thought differently. When the family left, my parents were clearly excited and kept speaking about how good the family and how nice ...

This is the story of my life…. May 12, 2015. Everytime the phone rang, I became anxious. What if it was regarding the last proposal? I knew that the call was inevitable, whatever the answer; but it just made me nervous thinking about it. And as expected, a week later, they called to give the answer. They wanted to officially propose! What do I do? It was the weekend and as usual every Sunday was our day out. Till then my parents had not asked for my answer. We got ready early that morning and wen...My he...

This is the story of my life…. May 13, 2015. My head was spinning. So much had happened in that day and there was still so much to think about. I had to clear up my mind and really analyse the whole situation. My decision either way, would affect so many people negatively. Would I ever get over proposal one? I could not play around with another person’s life and so I had to think carefully. Those few days before giving my final decision, I was like a zombie. Everyday was the same routine. I just ...I had...

This is the story of my life…. May 18, 2015. An Unexpected turn of events. The day went off well by everyone’s standards. Both parties seemed happy and discussions began about a suitable date for the nikah. After much thought, it was decided that the nikah should take place as soon as possible and so a date was set in three months time. Later she mentioned to me that she received a call from proposal one’s mum that morning. His mum was very upset and couldn’t understand why my parents wer...I had sacrifi...

This is the story of my life…. May 23, 2015. Planning for the Big Day. It was definitely not what I wanted, but I needed to accept that things don’t always work the way you plan. There was nothing more I could do. There was no point in wishing for something that would never happen. I had to be strong and concentrate on what was to come. Slowly but surely everything was getting done and all the arrangements were made for the day of the Nikah. We decided to have a very small function in a little confer...

This is the story of my life…. Monthly Archives: May 2015. May 26, 2015. I went into marriage with a positive outlook. I knew that my spouse was totally unaware of my feelings and it would be unfair of me to make that known to him. He, like any other person had hopes and dreams of a happy marriage and I needed to do my best to make that a reality. I tried asking him what was the reason for his aloofness and strange behaviour. I confronted him, sent him text messages, wrote him letters expressing my f...

This is the story of my life…. May 14, 2015. I felt so much more at ease after I turned my attention to Allah. I realised that this was not in my control. I could cry all I wanted and feel depressed; but at the end of the day whatever was meant to be, will be. I needed to make my Istikharah and give my final answer. I went to my parents and asked them for some time to speak. It wasn’t a happy moment for me and so I tried my best to tell them my decision without becoming emotional. It was th...I explained...

This is the story of my life…. May 16, 2015. Days turned to weeks and it was gradually getting closer to the inevitable. We still had not confirmed a date. “Fiance” was busy with his studies and as soon as he had some time off they wanted to come home to discuss the date of the nikah. His mum called after a few days to say that they were able to come the following weekend. This was when everything started sinking in and I became really anxious. How did I get myself into this situation? I called him later...

This is the story of my life…. May 3, 2015. Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed with wonderful parents and a beautiful family Masha Allah. I cannot thank Allah enough for this great favour upon me. I was brought up in a home filled with love and never deprived of anything. I was cocooned and protected from the outside world as much as possible. It was challenging for me but I soon became comfortable with the idea and settled into a routine. I started an Islamic studies course in the morning and would ...
