Alhamdulillah for His Answered Dua
Assalamu Alaikum-Alhamdulillah, he truly feels like everything I asked Allah for in a husband. He’s an amanah from my Creator, and I never want to hurt him, disrespect him, or cause him sadness, inshaAllah. I used to pray with a broken heart for someone whose heart was whole, asking Allah to protect the heart of whoever was meant for me. My husband’s heart was preserved, and Allah kept this amanah safe-Alhamdulillah. I also asked Allah for someone with a caring sister, someone who could explain things to him if I couldn’t. SubhanAllah, his sister is like my own appi-so loving, kind, and supportive. She helped me feel at ease. I used to complain to Allah about my parents’ behavior and ask for a family with good character, a family that felt like Jannah. Allah answered me with the softest saas-a gentle, well-mannered woman-Alhamdulillah. There was a time I felt like that house and my old home weren’t really mine because of how my parents treated me. Now I feel like I have another set of parents to serve, to make dua with, and to grow closer to Allah alongside. I pray that, just as Allah opened the way for this home, He closes the doors on what was harmful from my past-inshaAllah. I know I should seek forgiveness for doubting, because deep down I always felt that Ibrahim-the man I found everything in-was meant for me even before it became clear.
