There is one fact of life that is true in very religion, every faith, every culture and race. The fact being that life will end one day. So technically speaking we’re just here for some time, we can either live it up like Snoop Dog, or we can believe that there is more to life then just being born and dying. Every faith is different; some believe in after life, some don’t. Islam is based on nothing worldly, the main goal is after life. As humans we tend to forget that or we simply ignore it. If we made choices according to what pleased our Lord, I can assure you life would be easy. Easy because you decisions are not made on your own desires, they are made based on a higher power (makes sense?).

People assume that if you are from a good pious family, you automatically are a saint. Which is incorrect because for one, you might not like their life style and you prefer to live like Snoop Dog and two, you can easily live a double life (Cannot be watching Snoop Dog videos around parents, but just on laptop in bed when no one is around). No doubt that it is your benefit if you are blessed to be born in a family like that. Too bad that doesn’t just grant you a golden heaven ticket. It’s a personal matter; each person is questioned for their own actions. You can’t possibly blame another person for your own wrong doings.

Okay honestly, my point to this was meant to be based on marriage and spouses. I (some what?) got carried away. Girls always tend to rush into marriage because their friends are doing so. All the girls (exaggerating of course) always want the cool dude who listens and dresses like Snoop Dog.
Here is fact-of-the-day: these guys are not cool.

Again, not the point.

The point: When we (ladies) decided that we would like to be hitched. I think we look at things like money, career, how much of his looks resemble Brad Pitt and how “smooth” is he. Although these factors are important too, because without money/job he is unable to take care of you. If you are not attracted to him, well then that’s just a jar of pickles. These matters aren’t everything though; they help marriage go by easily rather then difficult. There is more to it though, so much so that it can sometimes be the most effective thing for your self. When thinking of spouse, there should be a deeper thinker, and intentions. We should want more, then just his looks, and money and how funny he is, or if he makes us tingle inside. There are factors, to want for one self. We should want our husband to be our garment for our soul, because marriage is half of our faith. We should want him to be righteous, and in the path of Allah. He should be strong on his prayers and motivate us to pray too. He should be a halal earner, unlike Snoop dog who goes on about how cool weed is, and lets his chains hang low. He should be modest, and not a show off. He should refer to Quran and the Sunnah for his answers and decisions and thank Allah for all that he is blessed with. He should control his words and anger for the sake of Allah. Someone like that would honor his wife and protects her and guide his wife for the better. We might not get it all, but we should desire it. The rest is in the hands of God.

You know what my problem is? I start to write something and then I get bored of it or I don’t know how to put my thoughts into words. Hey hey…I never said I was a writer.
