Newly Weds.... Now what? - By Alima Ali

Salam. I pray that you are in the best of health. First of all, allow me to apologize for the major delay in this article. I have been meaning to write another article but finding the time has been more difficult that i expected it to be and what with balancing out writing my book as well as writing for my mosque, it has been quite intense. Nevertheless, i have Alhumdilillah gotten round to writing this article and I’m near the end of completing Chapter 4 of ‘It’s just a fairy tale’

I received quite a few comments about my last article ‘The Muslim Romeo and Juliet’. Many of you found the video clip to be quite misleading and some of you misinterpreted the meaning of the video. Nevertheless, i feel that the message that was been put across was evidently clear and not in any way insulting. If you have missed any of my previous articles or would like to re-read them, then they can be found at my blog: http://www.a-muslimahs-blog.blogspot.com/

I would like to thank you all for your support and patience. None of this would have been possible without the readers so once again, thank you!

Now, back to the article. My last few articles have covered the topic of ‘Marriage’ and after reading over a few of them, i realised that i have always discussed marriage from a positive POV which is only one part of the picture. The commitment of marriage does come with its ups and downs which is why in this article, i am going to be focusing on the problems occurred in marriage.

Newly Weds – Aren’t they so adorable? But have you ever wondered how long it is before the ‘I love you’ turns to the ‘i hate you’?

Let me give you an example of a ‘love’ turning into ‘hate’ scenario. A newlywed couple have been married for a few weeks now and everything is going well. By the looks of things, neither of them can do wrong but all that changes when they have their very FIRST argument *gasp*

The woman/wife is doing the shouting, name calling etc and the man/husband is doing the whole ‘Why are you overreacting for? What is your problem’ speech. A few weeks later when they are back to enjoying married life, the wife decides to bring up that same argument and begins to recall all the hurtful things that her husband had said and he is just standing there with a confused.com look on his face because to him, the choice is not clear. He is trying to remember what he had said which angers the wife even more because she expects him to remember the hurtful things that he had said to her but he’s a man so what do you expect?

You see, as much as we hate to admit it, the woman is usually the sentimental and sensitive one within the relationship and this is because we have Alhumdilillah (unlike most guys out there) got a softer and more meaningful side to us and so, the littlest things said within an argument will never be forgotten. Unfortunately for the guy, all the hurtful things that he had said 5 years ago will be torment him for the rest of his life because what men fail to remember is that the girl will never forget.

The way a girl communicates with her ‘girlfriends’ is totally different to the way a guy communicates with his ‘bedrins’ A guy can have an argument with one of his friends but within a matter of minutes, all will be forgotten. However, when a girl has an argument with one of her friends, their friendship whole friendship is affected.

That is why communication plays such an important role within a marriage. The guy should be able to respect his wife’s feminine side and try and understand that she is... ‘not one of the guys’ as Baba Ali puts it. And the wife should try and understand that her and husband are not glued to the hip and that there will be times where he would want to spend some time with his mates doing ‘guy’ stuff.

So many relationships end up in divorce due to both spouses not being able to respect one another’s personal space. Everyone makes mistakes and no-one is perfect. This point is directly aimed at women of today – Instead of arguing with your partner about what he hasn’t done, try and instead acknowledge all his positive points.

It’s time for me to wrap up this article and once again, i apologize for the delay. A few of you emailed me asking me whether the book that i am currently writing ‘It’s just a Fairy Tale’ is going to be published. In answer to this question, Inshallah yes. However, it first needs to be written which is taking quite a while but nevertheless, it is coming along nicely. Despite it taking so long, i am Alhumdilillah pleased with what i have written so far and I’d rather write at my pace than rush the whole book.

Until next time stay safe, remember me in your duas and... keep smiling!!

Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

The Muslim Romeo and Juliet - By Alima Ali

Salam. I pray that you are all in the best of health. Before i go ahead and explain the title of this article, I’d first like to talk a little bit about my previous article which was ‘Muslim girls are the worst’. Now, i had this conversation with a few family members, some of which who wear the headscarf and some of which who don’t. Anywho, it was something that my mother said that made me think. She goes ‘At the end of the day, we don’t wear the headscarf for anyone - We wear it for our creator so the opinions of others should not affect us as we are who we are. As with everything, you will always have a small group of people that will negatively represent others. All we can do is pray that Allah swt guides the wrong does onto the right path. Ameen’ – And i second that. Unfortunately, we live in a society where we are judged by our appearance and our actions and when the two are combined, the end result is usually equals a negative view of Muslims. You would think that what with everything that has happened with the 9/11 and the London Underground bombings, as Muslims, we would be wanting be to prove the Non-Muslims and the media wrong because at the moment, they see us as being violent and aggressive individuals. But what do we go and do? We go and burn the Pakistani flag. What good does that do? And as for respecting our religion, what do we go and do? We go and falsely wear the headscarf and then tell a pack of lies before going out and meeting someone in the park. I do apologize for using the term ‘we’ as like i have already said, it is a majority of Muslims who end up falsely representing others.

Earlier on today i was going through my previous articles and realised that this is my twentieth article. *shocked face* I celebrated with a slice of chocolate cake and an iced glad of Pepsi. I would like to thank every single person who has read one or several of my articles. And of course, a whole load of thanks goes to Allah swt as none of this would have been possible without him. Subhanallah!

I had a fair idea as to what i wanted to base this article on, so i hopped onto Google and conducted a bit of research, Much to my surprise, i came across an organisation called ‘Muslim Youth’ which is basically an Islamic version of Childline that is directly aimed at Muslim teenagers. I browsed their website and i came across a video called ‘Rami & Jamilah – The Muslim Romeo and Juliet’ (Yes i stole the title of the video for my article) The title of the video says it all. The video was made by students and i defiantly suggest that you stop reading this article and instead first watch the video. This is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsOZSwNF2vA&playnext_from=TL&videos=qSu9g0H_v2g

I don’t know about you but the video really affected me (in a positive way) and i don’t know why which is why i have decided to write an article about it. I have just recently finished reading the play Romeo and Juliet for the second time and credit has to be given to William Shakespeare for writing such a heartbreaking but yet captivating love ‘story’

I have always hated Asian films. The outburst of songs every five seconds usually gave me a headache and the story lines are all so similar but after watching ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ and reading a romantic book based on a Muslim couple (the book is called Hijaab Waali ) my view changed and ever since, i have become hooked on the whole ‘Muslim Love Story’ theme. I haven’t gone as far as believing that one day i shall meet a beast who is secretly a Prince or a frog who when kissed, will magically transform into a price but i do believe in ‘Happy Ever After’ and i don’t see no reason as to why every girl shouldn’t have her happy ending – Her Islamic Happy Ever After.

However, many people get confused between lust and love and it is because of this confusion that you hear girls of 12, 13 or even 14 years of age saying ‘But I love him’ where ‘him’ happens to be some stranger who they have only known for a few days.

Do you believe in love at first sight? I asked this question to a friend of mine and this was her response:

“I think getting to know the person makes a big difference. They may look good, but, how do you know if they even speak English? They may have bad hobbits that you can’t stand?’

And i do to a certain extent agree which is kind of confusing because i believe that Romeo and Juliet is such a romantic play in many different ways, but they end up getting married within days of meeting. They married without their families knowing (which is part of the plot) So if that is the case, did Shakespeare believe in love at first sight?

I find it quite amusing how the older Asian generation don’t believe in ‘Love marriages’ and believe in the one principle – That ‘Love grows within the marriage’ which is 100% true but i think that they don’t believe in love marriages because back in ‘their day’ they weren’t even given the opportunity of finding their own possible spouse. Muslim dating sites didn’t even exist and even Shaadi.com was non-existent. As for Muslim Speed Dating, well let’s just say no comment. Their main option was marrying within the family i.e. their cousins who weren’t exactly their ideal marriage partner but what could they do? Which is why many Asians (mainly the older generation) don’t believe in love marriages and have their doubt which is understandable. Well that it my theory!

I’m going to wrap up this article but before i do, I’d like to say one last thing. Only Allah swt knows who is compatible for who and with his and your family’s blessing will a marriage Inshallah be successful. I am currently looking for guest writers so if you are interested, then drop me an email. You can write about almost anything and everything – Let your imagination run wild. Until next time, stay safe, remember me in your duas and... Keep smiling!
Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

Please beware – The following content of this article may cause your view on vampires to be permanently alerted – By Guest Writer

Salam All. I pray that you are in the best of health. This article has been written by guest writer ‘Anonymous Student’ who also wrote the article ‘Religion Vs Faith’ This article may not be an Islamic one but i most defiantly believe that it is a good read. When she told me that she was going to write an article about the existence of vampires, by initial reaction was ‘o.kkkkkk’. Zobia (Anonymous Student) is a good friend of mine from sixth form and when she decided to share her ‘deep dark secret’ of believing in the existence of vampires, i couldn’t help but roll with laughter but the weird part was that she wasn’t joking around – She was ‘dead’ serious. Get it? Dead? Serious? Never mind.

In response to you question Zobia, unfortunately no, you have not changed my view on vampires. I got to admit that there were certain parts of your article that had me laughing for a good five minutes or so all for the wrong reasons. Nevertheless, credit to you for trying. I actually learnt a lot from this article and i wouldn’t be sharing it with you all if i didn’t think that you would be to.

I shall leave you now so until next time, stay safe, remember me in you duas and... keep smiling!

Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

Salam again. My name is Zobia and this is my second article which is based on a completely different topic . I hope that you enjoy reading it and thanks goes to Alima for agreeing to publish my article. I hope that it has opens up her eyes too lol.

Vampires. Are they real? What do you think? People don’t believe in their existence so let me warn you now - The following content may cause your view on vampires to be permanently alerted. Read on, if you can...

First of all, allow me to clarify what a vampire actually is:
• They feed on blood

And, erm.., yeah, that’s about it. I now that there’s a billion other things they can apparently do like, be immortal, have telepathic powers, fly, have their veins pop out every time they feed, and so on and so on...But that’s all in the fantasy world, you know, on TV. If you’ve watched the vampire dairies, you’ll know what I’m on about (or any other kind of vampire films or programmes). And for the rest of you, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard freaky descriptions of about vampires possibly from friends and surrounding gossip.

Anyways, I believe that vampires do exist. Ok, steady on, no need to think “what a weirdo”. I have my reasons. Now, I’m not talking about the heroic type ones like the ones we see on TV, that’s far beyond reality and believing in that would be quite naive. But vampires do feed on blood and I know that there are people out there, out of their minds really, who do that. I can share a personal experience for example on our road once, there was a guy who bit a woman’s ear off and did a runner just after. However, someone sow him and thank God that they did or God knows what else he would have fed on. Now that most defiantly fits the description of a vampire. Brace your selves for the next bit.

A guy called mark Lawson, 40years old was admitted at Chadwick lodge hospital in Milton Keynes because he suffered from mental health. He asked to be taken to a swimming pool that was on the same premises as the hospital. He was taken there to swim but it was also an easy escape route because there was a cross road nearby. And obviously he took the opportunity to do a runner.

The first thing he did when he was out was that broke into an old woman’s house (his grandmother) and he then beat her up mainly in the head and then...drained her of her blood from the deep wounds. The police were on the scene and tried to get Mark out of the house but he was armed and the police feared for their own safety as well as the safety of the public. When the police gained access to the house, they started throwing up and broke down into tears upon seeing the woman drained of her blood. Now, what would you call this guy apart from a blood drinking mental psychopath? Perhaps a vampire?

Another thing I would like you to know is a psychiatric disorder called the Renfields syndrome that makes people want to drink their own blood. It doesn’t stop there though. This syndrome even tempts them to go to the butchers and feed on animals meat. So basically they are compelled to drink blood. Now, although it a mental condition, this can be vampirism or cannibalism. People who suffer from this syndrome go through three stages, the third which is very extreme.

“In the third stage, true vampirism, the sufferer's attention is turned to other human beings. He may steal blood from hospitals or blood banks, or drink blood directly from a living person. Some people with Renfield's Syndrome commit violent crimes, including murder, after entering this stage.”

Believe it or not this is all true. I know that it’s a lot to take in but hey, they say that you learn something new every day but the existence of vampires has always been there – I suppose that you just chose to ignore it? Nevertheless, you are all fully informed and i would like to thank you all for reading my article. What I have included in this article is probably only a millionth of what is available out there. So much information about vampires is available and i can only pray that you don’t go away thinking that i am off my rocker.

All my friends have been trying to convince me that vampires aren’t real but I have always been full of determination to prove them wrong. I hope that i have accomplished that! I am open to all opinions and questions and all comments are welcomed.

Until next time, take care. If you ever have an encounter with a vampire and are unsure as to what to do, then check out this site (http://vampirewebsite.net/). It has all the information you need to know about vampires...good luck! (And let me know if you come across one!)

I haven’t included the actual news articles I found became they were too long. I instead briefly talked about them in this article but if you would like to do some extra reading, then check out the following links:

Phew, that was a long article, sorry if it bored you, although it is a hot topic to chat about.

‘The ones who wear a headscarf are the worst’ - By Alima Ali

Salam. I pray that you are all in the best of health. I would just like to inform you of the new ‘Shout Box’ on my blog. If you visit: http://www.a-muslimahs-blog.blogspot.com you shall find the widget on the left hand side. If you are for whatever reason unable to get in contact with me via email, then you can use the shout box to post your comment/suggestion/question and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Now, back to the article. To be honest with you, I wasn’t planning on writing an article for another few days but a recent comment promoted me to write. The title for this article is not really a title but merely a comment that really infuriated me.

Just yesterday we had a family gathering and there we were chatting and laughing away. That was until the conversation turned the latest piece of news that just so happened to be about a MUSLIM GIRL who wears A HEADSCARF and her recent marriage proposal. Your probably thinking ‘ok, so what’s wrong with that’ but being the Pakistanis that we are, the ‘Who, What, Where, When and How’ questions were asked and it was soon ‘uncovered’ that this girl had dated him 2 years before the recent proposal.

I was ’twiddling’ away at scoobies strings and so I wasn’t paying much attention to the conversation. That was until i heard someone say ‘The ones who wear a headscarf are the worst’ and that caught my attention. The person continued to go on about what they described as being ‘A Ninja Costume’. (A Niqaab) I’m not here to ‘name and shame’ but i was disgusted. I may not wear a Niqaab but i have been taught by teachers who do. I have friends who do and it is part of our faith so to hear someone say such an insulting comment made me cringe with anger. And the sad fact is, the comment wasn’t made by some random person off the street who is of a different religion – It was made by a family member.

Alhumdilillah i have broken up for summer holidays but on my last day at sixth form, a Non-Muslim approached me and asked whether he could ask me two questions. His questions were:

1. ‘Why do some Muslims wear a headscarf and others don’t?’
2. ‘Why do many Muslim girls who wear the headscarf have boyfriends despite knowing that it is against their religion?’

I was taken off guard and i spent a few minutes planning out my response which was not easy. I mean, what do you say in response to something like that? I tried my best to explain to him that not all Muslims ‘agree’ on the concept of wearing the headscarf and that just like Christians, not all Muslims are practising. In regard to his second question, i felt quite embarrassed and uncomfortable, mainly because i didn’t know what to say. All i could was say that peer pressure affects some more than others and that was it. I could tell that he was even more confused but nevertheless, he left it at that which brings me onto my next point. If you are going to wear the headscarf, then please where it for the right reasons. Don’t wear it for attention or because your parents are forcing you to wear it because that makes you rebel even more.

The media love to target the Muslim population and they would go to extreme lengths just to give Islam a bad name but why do we insist on making it so much easier for them by degrading our own religion? Do you know how we do this? Let me tell you how. What many of us fail to remember is that as soon as we walk out of our front door, we are automatically representing the hundreds and thousands of Muslims. The way we dress, the way we act and the way that we present ourselves to others is judged by those around us and if we are wearing a headscarf that is highly symbolic and then meeting some guy supposedly in secret, then what impression are we giving to non-Muslims?

Unfortunately, it is the minority who falsely represent the majority and so, we all end up having to suffer from the consequences. If you want to go and commit haram, then could you please not drag Islam down with it because it is not fair on those Muslims who end up being falsely labelled as being ‘the ones who are the worst’ when they are in actual fact doing nothing but practising their religion

And another thing. This question is to those parents who force their daughters to wear the headscarf. How do you expect you daughter to wear and respect the headscarf their mother who is meant to be their role model is neglecting the headscarf herself and only decides to wear a flimsy see through one during Ramadan – And even so, what is the point of that?

I have reached the end of this article but i would like to leave you with an inspirational quote from the book ‘Don’t be Sad’. Until next time, stay safe, remember me in you duas and keep smiling!

Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

“To the degree that you remember Allah, your heart will be calm and cheerful. His remembrance carries with it the meaning of total dependence upon Him, of turning to Him for aid, of having good thoughts about Him, and of waiting for victory from Him. He is near when supplicated: He hears when He is called and He answers when He is invoked, so humble yourself before Him and ask of Him sincerely’ (P.51 – Don’t be Sad’)

Religion Vs Faith: By (Guest Writer Anonymous Student) – Introduction by Alima Ali: D

Salam All!!! I pray that you are in the best of health. This article has been written by a guest Writer ‘Anonymous Student’ who on request, asked for it to be published so here it is. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article and i am sure that you would too. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, then drop me an email and I’ll forward them onto ‘Anonymous Student’. Don’t forget that you too can become a guest writer. All you have to do is write an article on a topic of your choice and email it to me. If you are reading this post on my blog, then my email is: alima-15@hotmail.co.uk

I shall now leave you all and until next time, stay safe, remember me in you duas and keep smiling! Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

This is my first ever article that i have written and I hope that you all enjoy reading it. A big thank you goes out Alima for allowing me to write an article which she has agreed to..... If you have any questions or want to answer any of my questions then let Alima know and she’ll pass them on to me, all comments are welcome too!

So, as weirdly as it may be, I have chosen to talk about the difference between culture and religion. Now, why write about this? Well, during the past couple of months or so, I have come to terms with the FACT that my whole life which I have considered to be my religion is actually culture. I know this is wrong on many levels, but I didn’t choose it to be this way - It’s the way that i have been brought up. It had almost been “in built”.

The culture I’m on about is Pakistani. And you have got to admit, there are many people out there who may be very good Pakistanis but not very Islamic, but yet, they still consider themselves otherwise (I don’t mean all Pakistanis; don’t get me wrong, just some). In fact, this can apply to anyone really who is a believer and isn’t really religious, just traditional. There is nothing wrong with being traditional, however, my point is that many see is as being the right way of life, but isn’t religion the right way of life? Certainly, aren’t you a believer in the eyes of the almighty - No matter what cast, social class and race you may be?

For those of you who are confused with what I’m trying to say, here are some examples of culture taking over religion. When your parents tell you that you cannot go out alone, for example, walk to school on your own, because it’s wrong but is that what Islam teaches us? Or is it a stereotypical view that makes your parents believe that going out on our own, especially for girls, is not right. And don’t you at times find yourself living your life in the hope of pleasing others? Instead, we should be concentrating on who we are as an individual and also be building on our relationship with Allah (SWT) because at the end of the day, we all will go to Allah and nothing but our imaan will accompany us.

Most of the time, it’s not even our fault that we aren’t good Muslims and we feel helpless because we want the world to become a better place, but don’t know how. But we can try, perhaps by educating ourselves with the knowledge of Islam and learning about our religion. So, how does this relate to the topic? It relates to the topic because what i am trying to say that instead of being not in possession of the facts, try to get out and learn about how you should live, don’t just take anyone’s word for it, do your own research, ask around and may Allah (SWT), Insha’Allah, guide us all on the righteous path.

Anyhow, what do you think? Is our lives surrounded more by traditions or religion? Or do we live by a mixture of both?

The Principles of a Successful Marriage - By Alima Ali

Salam All. I pray that you are well. Before i go any further with this article, i would like to let you all know that i am to be cutting down on the number of articles that i will be writing. This is mainly because i have been trying to concentrate working on my book amongst other things and at the moment, that is my main priority and it is quite difficult to balance out the two. That is not to say that my articles are going to be coming to a halt because they are not. I shall inshallah be continuing to write them whenever i can.

According to statistics, the number of divorces over the last 5 years have increased and that is why i have chosen to discuss ‘The Principles of a Successful Marriage’ It is narrated in an authentic hadith that “Among lawful things divorce is most hated by Allah” (Abu Dawud) I am still a student and Alhumdilillah happily single so i am only able to talk about marriage from my point of view. If you would like to comment or merely fancy a chat, then drop me an email. If you would like to re-read any of my previous articles or recommend them to others, then they can be found at: http://www.a-muslimahs-blog.blogspot.com

It can be argued as to whether a marriage can be ‘saved’ or not but i think that the main question that a married couple should be asking themselves is “what can they do to ensure that they don’t reach the divorce stage?” Well, here are my top five pointers.

At five we have forgiveness. All couples have their fair share of arguments but you got be honest, the wife usually tends to over react. What? You don’t believe me? Ok. Well, let me give you an example. A Muslim Couple: Mariyah and Ibrahim. Ibrahim promises to take Mariyah out to dinner as soon as he returns from work. Mariyah spends hours getting ready and then sits and waits for her husband to return. 20 minutes turns into an hour and a half and Ibrahim is late. By the time he arrives home, Mariyah is already screaming at him and telling him that he has the option of sleeping on the sofa or staying at his mums for the night as he seems to be spending more time there than with her. Ibrahim says that he can explain but nope, Mariyah isn’t having it and slams the door shut.

Now do you see where i am coming from? Little arguments can have just as much of a negative effect on a marriage as bigger disputes. However, instead of holding grudges and saying things that we later regret, one should instead try to ‘forgive and forget’.

At four we have flirtation. Now, you’re probably thinking ‘what is she on about’ so let me explain. When a couple have reached their e.g. 10th wedding anniversary, the ‘spark’ within their marriage is no longer there and that is because they feel that there is no need for it to be there. However, we are mistaken as one should try and remember the following hadith:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: `The most perfect believer in faith is the one whose character is finest and who is kindest to his wife.' (Tirmidhi)

Alongside the fluttering of eyes and pouting of lips, other flirtation methods may include adopting special names for one another or even having your own personal method of communication. Paying a compliment here and there won’t go amiss and you’ll be surprised at the effect that it can have.

Moving onto number three we have freedom. From a culture POV, the woman’s role is to stay home and cook and clean from the word ‘Go!’ Well, did you know that Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) wife Khadijah was a business woman? From an Islamic POV, a woman shouldn’t be excluded from the opportunity of working, as long as her duties aren’t affected. So I’m sorry guys but i suggest you get that vision of ‘lying on the sofa whilst having your wife fussing over you’ out of your head because it ain’t going to happen.

At number two we have feelings. Both spouses can be quite forgettable when it comes to acknowledging their partners feelings and assume that they are ok. Take note people. When someone says that they are ok, that is not always the case. It’s so easy to hurt ones feelings and half the time, we don’t even know that we are doing it. I suppose in a marriage, it can be difficult as you have to eat, live and sleep with that same person who hurt you which can add strain to the marriage. That is not to say that one should say ‘sorry’ or apologize after every conversation. Its one thing saying the word but it’s another meaning it.

We have arrived at number one and sitting at this position we have family. Fact. When one marries, they are automatically marrying their spouse’s family too so one has no other option but to try and get along with them. Many of us underestimate the negative effect of not being able to connect with their partner’s family.

So there you have it. My top five and the fact that they all start off with the letter ‘F’ was not purposely done. I failed to notice until now. I mentioned my book at the beginning of this article and the blub to the book has been written and I’d like to share it with you all:

After two whole agonising years in college, studying for my A-Levels and dealing with stupid student fiancés, it was too good to be true. I’m finally going to university!! I’m excited as hell and can’t wait to live the next chapter of my very confusing but enjoyable life.

For Aisha, a young Muslim teenager from Birmingham life was great. Her college years were behind her and her life was moving on from stressed out days and teenage acne. She had always dreamt of finding love and having her 'Once Upon a Time' and 'Happily Ever After' fairy tale. So her secret mission to find Mr Perfect began...

However, she soon realised that things don’t always work out the way that you hope and her fairy tale slowly began to fade away...

Follow a young Muslim woman through her journey of love in this riveting romantic comedy. The terrifying truths and ludicrous laughs will guarantee to keep you turning the pages of this pure portrayal of love.

I was meant to be advertising my friends sisters business but i have totally forgot the name of the business as well as what i was going to say so Inshallah, in the next article i shall so keep your eyes peeled.

It’s time for me to wrap up this article so until next time stay safe, remember me in your duas and keep smiling. Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.

P.S – Seeing i haven’t said it in this article, i might as well say it now. That is a disgrace to the human race!
