Note: If I Were Given The Choice To Remarry?
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
🗒️ Question: If ever you've become widowed and received a marriage proposal some time after the completion of your 'iddah (waiting period of four months and ten days) what are some qualities you'd require for a Muslim man to have so you'd be willing to accept his marriage proposal?
📝 Answer: Allah the Almighty knows best. I can't imagine myself remarrying but if Allah the Most Wise decreed that I become a wife again, the guy proposing (not directly to me but to my brothers) must have all of the following qualities or factors visible:
1. He strives to follow the right 'Aqeedah belief, aspires to adhere to the Sunnah of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam (so he's not one of those beardless boys who sometimes apply cheesy makeup) and shows sincere interest in learning more about Islam through authentic and reliable sources. It's obvious that he is not Shi'a, Sufi, Ash'ari/Ash'arite, an extremist Khariji/Kharijite or "Ikhwaani".
2. He has never tried cigarettes nor does he plan on smoking and taking drugs.
3. He doesn't have any criminal record.
4. He currently has a stable and lawful job, preferably he doesn't work in a bank nor is he an attorney.
5. I'd prefer that he has at least one sister, whether biological sister or half-sister, so I could have at least one sister-in-law.
6. He should genuinely get along well with both my brothers and have no grudge against them. Anybody who has something negative to say or assume about anyone from my family is automatically unappealing.
7. He should be overall confident and ambitious, not an insecure, narcissistic and immature "adult".
8. I would prefer that he is not a divorcee. If he already has a wife, she should make it clear that she is perfectly accepting of seeing her husband have another legal spouse while he agrees that he'll try his best
Inn-sha-Allah to treat his multiple wives as fairly as possible.
9. I would prefer that he doesn't have a son from any previous marriage since a stepson wouldn't be an actual mahram to my daughter and her half-sister.
10. It would be preferable if he is employed in the same city as I reside in.
11. Regardless of his tribe/nationality we should be able to communicate with each other comfortably and clearly, without language barrier and artificiality.
12. It is known that he is patient with and understanding towards his womenfolk/female relatives. It would be a lie to describe him as a misogynist.
13. He is effective at controlling his emotions and gaze. He doesn't stare at non-mahram females online and offline.
If the man proposing lacks any of the above, then Inn-sha-Allah I'd rather stick to my one and only husband and pray that I reunite with him Inn-sha-Allah in Jannah Paradise.

If you do not do so, there will be trials on the earth and the spread of corruption."

Be mindful of Allah (The Almighty) and He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nations were to gather together to benefit you, they will not benefit you unless Allah has decreed it for you. And if the nations gathered together to harm you, they will not harm you unless Allah has decreed it for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Note: If They Claim I'm "Poor" I'd View Them As Liars Who Are Jealous Or Ignorant
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
%20(9).jpeg)
%20(10).jpeg)
%20(5).jpeg)
%20(8).jpeg)
🗒️ Question: What's your secret to feeling nonchalant or unaffected when some uncivilized and pretentious narcissists try to make you doubt yourself by claiming you're so "poor" or "broke"?
📝 Answer: 1. Alhamdulillah I'd recall the innumerable blessings and favors which Allah the Almighty granted me and my loved ones in the past and present.
For instance, I would reminisce about those times when my family and I, Alhamdulillah, traveled to several countries around the globe including Saudi Arabia (where I was born in), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Pahang, Putrajaya), Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Thailand, France (Paris), England (London), Denmark (Copenhagen, Aalborg), Egypt (Cairo, Giza), USA (Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles California, Orlando Florida, Mississippi), UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), at the airports only - Bangladesh, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Greece etc.
and how we visited different tourist spots including Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Park, Universal Studios Hollywood and Knott's Berry Farm in California, EPCOT center, Walt Disney World Resort, SeaWorld Orlando and John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Ocean Park in Hong Kong, Madame Tussauds, Hyde Park and Natural History Museum in London, Tivoli Gardens in Denmark, Cairo Tower and the pyramids and museums in Egypt, Sentosa Island, botanical gardens and parks in Singapore, KL Tower, Petronas Twin Towers, Underwater World Langkawi, Mines Wonderland Theme Park and Genting Theme Park etc. in Malaysia etc. Alhamdulillah I also recall the various rides I've tried riding on/in besides aircrafts and jeepneys including camels in Saudi Arabia, elephant in Thailand, carriages led by horses in Egypt and in Saudi Arabia, different types of trains, ships and cable cars etc. in Denmark, England and Malaysia etc. Ferry and submarine in Disneyland USA etc. so if somebody were to describe me as "poor" I'd wonder if they themselves have even been to at least three of the numerous airports, hotels, restaurants and cities which I and my family went to etc. I also recall having lunch with my parents (Allah yarhamhuma. Ameen.) and brothers together with other Muslims regularly after Salat Al-Jumuah (at Masjid Al-Rajhi) in Riyadh city at one of the enormous palaces of one of the members of the Saudi royal family, so I'm already accustomed to seeing so-called "luxury homes" and trying "fine dining" that I'm not impressed when strangers or vloggers flaunt their superficial "prosperity" and preposterous pretentiousness.
2. I'd remind myself that the individuals who describe me as "poor" are likewise very poor if they were compared to other individuals with much more affluence than them and who know how to wisely spend some of their wealth in doing charity sincerely for Allah's sake instead of obnoxiously, with ugly arrogance, judging people based on their current income.
3. I'd keep in mind that even if some inwardly miserable clowns claim I'm "poor" or "broke", there are still a large number of individuals worldwide with more serious financial struggles. There's no need to take offense at something if others also deal with that same issue while solutions are available
Inn-sha-Allah to such temporary problem.
4. I'd imagine that the despicable persons describing me as "poor" is simply envious of one or some of the blessings which Allah the Most Merciful has bestowed upon me, Alhamdulillah, and through acknowledging that their disrespect stems from intense envy, I only become more confident and grateful to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala even more.
5. I remember how the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam didn't live a luxurious lifestyle yet he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, the most noble of all human beings, was and is loved by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and he was promised Jannah Paradise which is more than a gazillion times better than all of the skies and treasures of earth combined.
6. I acknowledge the truth that a lot of those seemingly "rich people" are in reality extremely indebted, obsessed with borrowing money from others or taking out loans and/or much of their earnings come from haraam/forbidden sources which is not something admirable at all.
7. Many from those who appear or act "rich and superior" actually feel empty or incomplete on the inside if Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala didn't guide them to Islam and the right 'Aqeedah/belief. Nothing can be admired in them particularly if they lack good character, values, inner beauty, sagacity and integrity.
True happiness is the everlasting bliss and eternal peace in Jannah Paradise, not in this fleeting dunya.

Poem: Never Feel Sad Over Something Not Destined For Us
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 No matter how much effort you put in achieving
Something, like organizing an event or meeting,
Marrying someone, finding a decent profession,
Accomplishing tasks or transactions, or networking,
Never can it occur if it was never destined.
~•~
Allah, our Creator, is the One to determine
What we receive, what we go through, and what He prevents,
Who from His servants are meant to meet us and befriend,
And who from His slaves are chosen to test our patience.
Trust Allah and know our Qadr is controlled by Him.
~•~
When your plans don't work out as you liked or imagined,
When told "no, it can't be done" or "next time, try again",
Or chances are too slim for a project to happen,
Be glad at least you tried to fulfill undertakings,
While you gained Allah's Love for your patient contentment.
~•~
Believe there's no "sayang", "all our attempts meant nothing",
And "what a waste" if your faith is strong as a Muslim.
Hope for rewards from Allah for sincere good actions,
Sins falling off with each stress, ache and disappointment,
And being tested by Allah means you're loved by Him.
~•~
Alhamdulillah for Allah's Mercy and Guidance.
Despite outcomes, we're rewarded for our intentions.
When eager to fulfill dreams or achieve anything,
Have full trust in Allah, strive, accept what He destines.
If you fail, then win Jannah for your faith and patience.
~•~

Note: Researching About Monkeys More Interesting Than Befriending Fake People
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
%20(10)%20(1).jpeg)
🗒️ Question: As a Muslimah whose MBTI personality type is INTJ-A, are you okay with being incredibly picky when it comes to your choice of close friends? What are some negative characteristics of people whom you are not interested in befriending so they're only strangers to you while much more interesting than chatting with them is researching about chickens and monkeys?
📑 Answer: Alhamdulillah, yes, I tend to be very choosy regarding my selection of close friends, and I don't feel ashamed to state that my actual friends are not that many.
❎ From the negative characteristics of people who remain to me as mere strangers or acquaintances whose personal lives (and absolute lies) don't intrigue me at all:
1. They (as well as their child or children) generally display bad manners that even stationary or sleeping donkeys appear more well-bred than them.
2. They frequently don't answer your salaams/greetings and often leave your online messages on "seen". They usually behave towards you according to their insecurities and unreliable emotions.
3. They have an ugly tendency to act passive-aggressive and seem to enjoy proving how awfully immature they are through gossiping regularly (addicted to backbiting about you and/or others cowardly).
4. It's obvious they have zero interest in learning more about Islam or they find seeking Islamic knowledge "tedious" or "tiring".
5. They're overly sensitive or overdramatic narcissists who can't welcome frank feedback and constructive criticism.
6. They've undeniably lied to you on purpose more than twice.
7. They are terrible at inviting you to gatherings and beneficial conferences. They consistently exclude you from joining them in attending certain events either because they're intensely envious of you and your confident personality intimidates them or they don't regard you as part of their circle in which case you should likewise view them as a mere stranger and stay unfazed by whatever they do and say.

Poem: People's Selfies Aren't Proofs They're Happy Inwardly
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
%20(1).jpeg)
🗒️ That guy displayed on those photos chilling with his friends
May be struggling with debts or severe depression.
Those females who flaunt their items bought and appearance
Could be insecure or were neglected as children.
People's online posts aren't proofs of true contentment.
~•~
Foodies who post pics of meals enjoyed at restaurants,
While they don't intend to support another Muslim,
But to show off their affluence or stable income
Probably feel unhappy and empty from within,
Likely guilty they're lacking something more important.
~•~
Don't judge a person's joy level based on the content
They chose to broadcast. Those who are truly confident
And secure do not oblige themselves to be frequent
In updating the world with photos of where they went
As if people's views are crucial for self-fulfilment.
~•~
No need for photos of whereabouts as a Muslim
If your intention isn't helpful nor rewarding.
And while browsing around some social media platforms,
Know that we mustn't compare our lives to people's posts.
Not everything which brings delight should be shown or told.
~•~
📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah (The Almighty) as a truthful person. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues to tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."

Note: List Of Notable Qualities Of An Ideal Muslim Husband In My Opinion
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful %20(31).jpeg)
%20(31).jpeg)
🗒️ Question: If you had the opportunity to choose any man you could have as your husband, what qualities would he need to portray so he becomes an ideal spouse/soulmate for you? What characteristics are required for a guy to be a suitable partner?
📝 Answer: Alhamdulillah I've been married since the age of twenty and was engaged to marry in my teenage years. If ever my dear husband asked for a divorce, I'd still want him back, stubbornly reject marriage proposals from other males and patiently wait for him (even if it takes so many years) to ask for a remarriage.
If I were single, I'd require the following qualities for a Muslim man to be an ideal spouse/soulmate:
1✅ Sincerely striving to be upon the right 'Aqeedah belief according to the understanding of the pious predecessors/salaf and Sahaaba RadhiAllahu 'anhum.
2✅ Being good friends with my dear parents (Allah yarhamhuma. Ameen.) and my siblings. I would never want to marry an insecure man-child who has a problem with any member of my family (from both sides maternal and paternal).
3✅ Being family-oriented and being known for their good character, supporting their loved ones and relatives in what is lawful Alhamdulillah. And preferably they do not smoke.
4✅ Earning halal income with a notable job while he doesn't work in a bank dealing with ribaa / usury / interest.
5✅ He actually had the courage to approach both my brothers to ask for my hand in marriage.
6✅ He supports Islamic education and has nothing against teaching as a profession.
7✅ He and I can understand each other well, Alhamdulillah, there's no language barrier.
8✅ He fears Only Allah the Almighty, displays admirable confidence and doesn't struggle from social anxiety. A guy who regularly claims he's too "shy" or "scared" to do something isn't attractive at all.
9✅ He is charismatic with children and can rightfully be described as caring and very fatherly.
10✅ He takes care of his beard. He's not one of those boys who prefer to look too babyfaced and clean-shaven. He understands what it actually means to be mature and masculine.
11✅ He owns and drives his own vehicle, while being a competent and careful driver (one of the must-haves for an ideal Muslim husband in my opinion).

Poem: When An INTJ Isn't Interested Anymore In Developing The "Friendship"
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 When I, as an INTJ, knows you're not worth it -
Not worth talking about because you can't be trusted,
When I decide to dislike you, quit building friendship,
I won't waste my time indulging in childish gossip.
Instead, I'll avoid you like a deflecting magnet.
~•~
When I despise you for Allah's sake, I won't grant it -
My full attention, curiosity or interest
In getting to learn more about your past, how you live,
And your future goals - I'd be more uninterested
Than staunch non-smokers who refuse to touch cigarettes.
~•~
If there's a program, I won't witness ridiculous
Acting. My attentiveness and support - don't expect
Them if I conclude you can no longer be trusted.
Don't expect me to stalk your Facebook profile, pages
And vids. I reject content that's false and pathetic.
~•~
You're like an ad on YouTube which I would gladly skip,
Like dead leaves which busy tourists won't pause for and pick,
Or a book I check randomly and my thoughts on it
Are: "these phrases don't make sense.", "the title is stupid.",
And "I won't bother reading the rest of its pages.".
~•~
Now please don't describe me as "pretentious" nor "snobbish".
When it comes to choosing friends I tend to be cautious
And selective so my faith/Imaan is safeguarded,
And so I don't earn people's sins accumulated
Through lame talks with real liars and experts at gossip.

Second: It's so evident they're not into learning
More about Islam and knowledge to them is "boring".
Why bother befriending those whose actions and statements
Generally make them worthy of these descriptions -
Shallow, unintelligent, vile, fake and ignorant.
~•~
From the nonsense they're mainly good at: Overspending,
Comparing themselves to others with envy intense,
Gossiping, inventing lies, laughing at your expense,
Acting immature, and judging people's appearance.
Better than chatting with them: Counting eggs and chickens.
~•~
Third sign that some souls don't deserve to be your close friends:
They repeat past mistakes like it's from their addictions -
And for them apologizing is more challenging
Than lying often and having promises broken.
Don't distress yourself by welcoming such distractions.
~•~
And three signs that some could be given a second chance -
Forgive them for Allah's sake and defeat arrogance:
One: They're family - your parents, kids, siblings, husband etc.
Two: You're so alike. Connect so your life is enhanced.
Three: You both love Allah, and you both oppose shaytaan.
