A Wife's Jannah...

Last week in an elevator going to my meeting place, a lady complained to her friend that her MIL will be coming and staying over the weekend. "Menyusahkan betul lah. Last week kitorang dah balik kampung!" During their conversation, the complainer kept looking at me as if willing me to smile or agree to her statement. I maintained a stoic face. I'm disgusted with her complains but I do not have the words to tell her nicely with the objective of her changing her mind. I can of course say something sarcastic... but what's the point. I'd be delighted if any family member, mine or hubby's wanted to come and visit.

There have been many times when I have to choose between family and time to complete my work. I choose family because if they need me or hubby and I didn't go because I have to prepare for training or something, I know I would keep thinking about them anyway. If I don't have training scheduled, I would choose family. So far Allah has given me mercy and I managed to complete my work somehow no matter how tight the schedule was. Alhamdulillah...

And then there are friends who put photos of male artist or sportsman or any man except their husband's as their social network profile picture. Sigh! I know many who put pic of their kids. I don't mind that though I prefer their own pics as I sometimes forgot who they really are when their profile name is their child's name such as Mama [kid's name], Ummi [kid's name]. I haven't seen a friend who use their hubby's photo only. Yeah I thought that would be weird. Most would put photo of themselves with their hubby or family. But photo of another men? I can't accept that at all. I'm so afraid it would come to be like part of this hadith...

Men should stay away from 6 type of women... I only took this explanation.

3. Al-Hunaanah : Ingin pada suami yang lain atau berkenan kepada lelaki yang lain. Sangat suka membanding-bandingkan suaminya dengan suami/lelaki lain. Tak redha dengan suami yang ada.

As an example: Alaaa... my husband faham dia tak leh compete dengan Anuar Zain. Or alaaa... dari dulu I dah minat Aaron Aziz.

I can't accept that. Lain lah kalau tergila2 kan ulama yang tinggi ilmu agamanya. But, I'm at a lost for word to tell them nicely that by being crazy about other men, you might be like women who are al-hunaanah. Nauzubillahi min zalik.

When you watch movie and thought bestnyer husband dia buat begitu begini, or bestnya boyfriend dia so romantic... think of all the nice moments when your husband did just that. Dia lah hero movie kita. Takder orang nak buat filem jer. Sometimes we tend to forget our own movie, the hero and heroin because being together so long with your spouse makes you take things for granted. Perasaan berdebar2, atau jeling-menjeling, rindu-rinduan... whatever you watch or read, itu lah kita dulu kan. Mentang-mentang dah lama kawin, dah tengok hari2, tak rasa excited? Excited pulak tengok movie or baca cerita yang menceritakan debaran pelakon atau watak, jelingan pelakon atau watak. Sekarang kan banyak movie yang jalan ceritanya datang dari novel2 yang popular.


What's the heand and tail of my babble today? Always remind ourselves of our ultimate goal... Allah's mercy and our hope for Jannah. Allah anugerahkan kita suami atau isteri untuk sama2 menuju our ultimate goal. Di beriNya kita kawan agar sama2 berusaha ke arah akhirat. Hopefully hubby and I will not lose sight of this.

Some who has followed my blog from a long time ago, may think I'm a different person single and married. When I was single, I didn't really see this strong connection to Allah through marriage. When I was single, I have not gone through some of the challenges I went through till now. There'll be situation, sickness, problems, events that happen where you become stronger and able to go through them all strictly by telling yourselves you submit to Allah's mercy, and no matter how difficult things are, you do it to gain Allah's pleasure, not just your husband's. It has not been easy all the time. There have been internal struggles, difficulties... but there is always hope that by submitting to gain Allah's mercy, you'll be fine. Selagi Allah pinjamkan seorang kawan pada kita yang akan bersama ketika susah senang, we'll manage to get through anything no matter how difficult it may seem. And for that reason, insyaAllah hubby and I will be celebrating our 5th anniversary next week :) Thank you Allah. Alhamdulillah. Love you my darling hubby.
