Doing Things the Halal Way Is Hard…But Worth It ❤️
Salaam everyone! I wanted to talk about this because I feel like a lot of younger Somali girls in this sub need to hear it.
I’ve been talking to this guy for about 2 years now, but before the “2 years and no ring” comments start 😭 let me explain. If we’re being honest, it’s really only been about 6 months of actual talking. The rest was us being on and off, only checking in once in a while or texting about important things just to see if the feelings were still there lol.
The point of this post is that we’re not married yet, even though we plan to get married next year Insh’Allah. And honestly, sometimes it’s hard. When you stop talking to someone for the sake of Allah, the overthinking starts to kick in and you wonder, “What if he changes his mind?” Especially after I moved away. Before, I’d randomly see him sometimes, he’d smile at me, we’d talk for a few minutes, and somehow all my worries would disappear.
Alhamdulillah though, he’s genuinely an amazing man, and I’d choose him every single time. Nobody is perfect, but he has so many beautiful qualities that make me grateful.
I just wanted to remind the younger Somali girls out there that if you and someone are trying to do things the halal way and are staying patient for the sake of Allah, trust that Allah sees your efforts. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it with something better than it.” And honestly, I truly believe that the barakah that comes from doing things the right way is always worth the wait ❤️
