The picture was made and my wedding was set, the only last step was istakara. Alhumduiallah I had been okay with praying istakara for all my other situations but that night something felt very weird. Was she the right girl? I wanted to say yes, I was a 33 year old bachelor and had never seen someone so perfect but a tiny piece inside me was questioning. I had made istakara every night and the feeling deepened and so had my denial. This girl had the looks of the best super model and the actions of a companion of the prophet and even liked basketball. I had continued to make istakara, although I had known it was a “no”. I even had considered going against my istakara. Why? Why? Why? I had asked. I could not understand, but I knew what I had to do. I cried for what seemed like months, I guess you can say I am a sensitive guy. I had asked and prayed, all I wanted was a good girl to spend the rest of my life with and it was gone in a blink of a second. How could something so perfect, be bad?
Years passed and alhumduiallah, I am now blessed qith a beautiful wife and children, I don’t regret them but sometimes I wonder why I had to wait two more years to get my princess.
That perfect girl was not so perfect, soon after Mahmood’s break off of the engagement, Tanya was arrested for shop lifting.

Well, I just have to agree with the Disney part and “Interview with the Vampire.” Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in one movie. And oh, Kirsten Dunst was so young back then.

I know you’re reading this. And this one is for you.
Life is not easy. Every day is an unpredictable challenge. Some days it can be difficult to simply get out of bed in the morning. To face reality and put on that smile. But smile anyway because life is never as bad as it could be.
You won’t always be perfect. Neither will I. Because nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy, everybody has issues. You will never know exactly what I’m going through. And I will never know exactly what you’re going through. You are not alone. We are all fighting our own unique war. We are fighting through it simultaneously, together.
Whenever somebody discredits you, and tells you that you can’t do something, keep in mind that they are speaking from within the boundaries of their own limitations. Ignore them. Don’t give in. In this crazy world that’s trying to make you like everyone else, find the courage to keep being your awesome self. And when they laugh at you for being different, laugh back at them for being the same.
Remember, our courage doesn’t always roar aloud. Sometimes it’s the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering, “I will try again tomorrow.” So stand strong.
Be who you were meant to be and not what you’ve allowed yourself to become. Live how you were meant to live and soar.
