This is our story..

It began when we understood Allah's command to "marry those among you who are single, and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves. If they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace. And Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing. And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste, until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace." (24:32-33)

So we searched high and low, not exactly for each other, really; but for a spouse, to travel the road to Jannah together. All the while believing that "women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable." (24:26)

Until Allah made our paths meet, brought us together in ta'aruf and finally in wedlock on 4th Shawwal, 1432. And now we could, with absolute faith, testify that "among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for people who give thought." (30:21)

Surely, none of these would have happened without Allah's will.
