I am a person who likes to reflect and ponder on life, what the meaning and purpose of our existence is? When you see many of your peers and loved ones pass away, you realize your own mortality, and that one day you too are going to die! So the more I reflected on this concept, it brought me full circle. Although I was born Muslim, I was not the best practising nor did I understand the beauty which is Islam. Once I read the English translation of the Quran, I could not deny the effect it had on my soul and heart, it put all my life experiences in perspective and answered many questions I had. At that moment I knew I needed to change. So I cut off what no longer benefited me, and made great efforts to work on myself. Although I am not perfect I do my best to correct the errors within me, because when I die and stand before Allah that is the true reality. So I do what I can to prepare myself for that meeting and the hereafter. This is why I refuse to let this world deceive me from my ultimate purpose. Through observation I came to recognize that everything that glitters isn't gold. I found the Hero I was looking for, hence the Prophets and the guidance to sustain me, Islam. I just feel thankful I came to this realization before my death!!! For who Allah guides there's no one to misguide, and who he lets astray there's no one to guide!!! May Allah keep guiding me and this Ummah. I want to raise a strong family, who recognizes the rights of other but most importantly the right of Allah upon us. I am looking for a husband who shares the same values as me, who sincerely loves the Quran and the message it displays. Who will be a garment for me and I for him.
