those who know me here, know how long I struggled to find someone who would walk with me on this journey we call life.
I’m pleased to inform those of you who have been privy to my struggle that I got married on the 2nd of August this year ما شاء الله
and i’m very very happy ما شاء الله
I haven’t posted much on the forum for a while now and I doubt I will be posting any more frequently now that I am married, but I will never forget what this forum means to me, how a lot of you helped me to keep the hope alive in Allah and how each of you have personally affected in me a positive change by the will of Allah.
for that I am grateful to Allah, grateful to Him for your kindness and encouragement,
your nurturing spirit will forever be cherished by me. And I pray that He will reward you all with the best of both, this life and the next Ameen.
it’s a bitter sweet ending here for me, so many memories... I met some of you in real life, but most of you I will never meet in this life. I want you all to know this: you’re all special to me and I ask you to forgive me for any wrongdoing and pain I may have caused, and to remember me in your dua as I too will remember you in mine.
may Allah bless us all, forgive us all and give us all the best of this and the next Ameen!!
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
I don't know you but congratulations nonetheless. May Allah bless you and your family. May He protect your family from the difficulties of this world and keep your child on the Sirat Al Mustakeem.
One piece of advice for raising your child, keep them away from electronics. Don't even use your phone around them. My sister has two boys, 3 & 7 and they're hopelessly hooked on them. The go in a fit of rage if you say no and if you give it to them, they will sit on them all day.
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي الـمَوْهُوبِ لَكَ، وَشَكَرْتَ الوَاهِبَ، وبَلَغَ أشُدَّهُ، وَرُزِقْتَ بِرَّهُ “May Allah bless you in His gift to you, may you give thanks to the giver of this gift, may the child reach the maturity of years, and may you be granted its righteousness.”
جعله الله مباركاً عليك وعلى أمة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم “May Allah make the child a blessing for you and a blessing for the Umma of Muhammad (Allah bless him & give him peace).”
It’s a boy ما شاء الله he was born on the 30th April very close to midnight, and an healthy weight.
my wife and son will إن شاء الله be discharged from hospital this week. I’m not allowed to go and see them due to the covid19 rules. I only spent about one hour with my son when he was born.
please make dua that my wife makes a full recovery and my son too. My son was born by c-section and both, my wife and son have an infection due to this which is preventing them from leaving سبحان اللہ
I’m at my apartment on my own until they come back. Please make lots of dua for my family.
Hi, im not sure what journey you have been on to find a spouse but i would like some help/advice. I have also been looking for quiet some time but its not working out. Either im too shy for some guys or boring or my level of banter is different etc. Something always gets in the way and its honestly really depressing im been making so much dua and days i feel really depressed.

You must be someone Allah really loves, because he’s making you wait - testing your paitience. And he always test those whom He loves, the most.
remain patient, and only turn to Him in your hour of need. I promise you, the wait will be worth it إن شاء الله
there is nothing wrong with your personality, I am sure it’s just a matter of finding that special someone who will see you for who you really are and want to marry you because of the values you hold dear to your heart. Just a matter of time.
look up the tafsir of Surah al asr. The more I read up on it, the more it helped me.
here is a nice introductory insight into the Surah:
@Scimitar
thanks - i feel this test is very hard. Its hard being rejected and seeing all these people get married and im 31 now. Im always making dua always. I just want this hardship to end

Assalam o alaikum rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
May Allah grant u righteous husband and children who are coolness of your eyes in sha Allah.
Be patient. Our understanding and wisdom are limited.

Does marriage always lead to happiness?
There’s a blessing and wisdom in every dua where the response is delayed. Ask yourself this one question: what is Allah trying to teach me through this trial and how can I grow?
Take a look at my signature at the bottom of this post. Can you extract any wisdoms that you can apply in your own circumstances?
Edit: sorry I don’t mean to hijack this threat Scimitar.
