well, today is the day, inshaAllah. Allah swt has brought me all this way and today is katb-al-kitab.
I'm nervous.... I'm anxious... i'm everything at once.
This is the irony of my life. I'm sitting at home and it's about two hours til Maghrib. My katb-al-kitab "ceremony" is going to be after Maghrib. My parents are throwing a party... not for me. For their friend; it's his birthday. Wullahi, I can hear wine bottles opening as I type this. I tried to explain to them the importance of this and the stages of the Islamic marriage, but they don't care. "If it makes you happy, then do what you want" they say.
Yet somewhere 30 or 40 minutes drive away from here, there is a beautiful, pious girl who's been waiting on this day. Her whole family has been waiting on this day. They're fixing her hair and ironing her clothes and making food and preparing the house for guests so that I can come and we can sign this contract and become husband and wife before Allah swt. Half of my deen will be acquired tonight right?
Lol I mean I don't know how to explain how I feel. It's so surreal. I'm getting on an internet board to find support before I go get married. I'm going to have no family there. Just friends of her parents will be there. Although they show me love me like a son. They treat me so well. We pray together, they help me with my Arabic, we laugh and eat and life is so wonderful over there. And they raised a daughter to be just like them. And somehow Allah chose me to bless with such a girl.
Then I come back here to my big expensive home that feels more like a bar except that my parents live here. HAHA!
Hamdilah! Today is the best day of my life. Allah is so merciful and so generous and I don't deserve this.
