Greatest joy of life

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficial, the Most Merciful

😆Wohoo, soooo excited for today's article

Since the time my mind fathomed the beauty and vastness of marriage, I always imagined what life would be like for me as a married woman

Ever since that age I've been preparing myself, either conciously or subconsciously, in every way possible to accept love and live in joy and bliss along with carrying the responsibilities as a wife.

Today I can happily say that I'm a married woman. A woman who was looked upon by another family and they believed I was best suited for their son. Mindblowing yet beautiful at the same time

No matter how much I thank Allah it's never enough at all الحمد لله دايما وابدا 

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in 

(وَمِنۡ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦۤ أَنۡ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَ ٰ⁠جࣰا لِّتَسۡكُنُوۤا۟ إِلَیۡهَا وَجَعَلَ بَیۡنَكُم مَّوَدَّةࣰ وَرَحۡمَةًۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَـَٔایَـٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ)

And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

[سورة الروم 21]

"لتسكنوا اليها"

So that you may find peace and tranquility within her 

May Allah make all the married women a source of peace  for their husbands. Aameen 💕

The whole concept of marriage is one that completes you psychologically, physically, mentally and spiritually

Because you see, man is created weak

Allah says 

(...وَخُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ ضَعِیفࣰا)

And man was created weak

[سورة النساء 28]

No matter how strong and knowledgable you are there must be someone who completes you. At the end of the day nobody is perfect because perfection belongs to Allah

None of us can live alone because God created our father Adam and our Mother Hawa for him to have a partner even though he was an inhabitant of heaven where everything is perfect and no sadness will touch them therein 

(إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ یَحۡزَنُونَ)

Truly those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, they will have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve

[سورة البقرة 277]

Nobody is perfect

Everyone has an imperfection in one thing or the other

A partner helps by covering up the imperfection or by getting rid of it

And from everything we created a pair

Everything in life has a pair

(وَمِن كُلِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَیۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ)

And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).

[سورة الذاريات 49]

Moreover, I see that marriage with all it's ups and downs, shapes a person and moulds them into better versions of themselves

One little advice I have for all those looking for spouses or dreaming of spouses

  Age is not a measure of marriage

Rather, the other things are, like the desire to make everything lawful and to live as pleases our Lord, as well as the fear of falling into the forbidden

My dears, don't rush and run and trip and fall when it comes to marriage. Talk to your elders if you have a wish of marrying sooner or later and then put your trust in Allah and constantly make du'a. There's nothing like du'a in this world. It's the only way we talk to Allah apart from prayer. 

{ اَلدُّعَاءُ مُخُّ اَلْعِبَادَةِ }

“Supplication is the pith of worship.” 

Related by At-Tirmidhi with a full chain of narrators.

Two beautiful du'as are taught to us in the Quran by our Creator جل في علا in the light of marriage 

(... رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَ ٰ⁠جِنَا وَذُرِّیَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡیُنࣲ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ إِمَامًا)

... "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun"

[سورة الفرقان 74]

And then the du'a of Musa peace be upon him

(... رَبِّ إِنِّی لِمَاۤ أَنزَلۡتَ إِلَیَّ مِنۡ خَیۡرࣲ فَقِیرࣱ)

"My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"

[سورة القصص 24]

May Allah bless every aching heart with joy beyond measure and every lonely soul with a partner and a soulmate just like how He blessed me with the most complementary person to my soul. Aameen ❤️
