Note: Some Lessons Learned From Attending The Wedding Of One Of My Husband's Young Relatives
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
🌼 Alhamdulillah. Three lessons learned to share for Allah's sake from attending the wedding of one of my husband's younger maternal cousins this morning at Al-Raddadi Suites hotel somewhere near SM Ecoland (Davao city, Southern Philippines):
1• To those who will Inn-sha-Allah become husbands and wives in the future, don't always expect your family especially your parents and other relatives to attend your wedding because one or some of them may either not be alive at that time or they have no choice but to remain in the city where they're employed in. Train yourself to trust Allah the Almighty at all times and never get emotionally attached to Allah's servants. Positively look forward to reuniting with your Muslim loved ones and friends Inn-sha-Allah in Jannah Paradise.
2• From time to time in this dunya we encounter various circumstances in which our Sabr patience and faith Imaan levels can get tested. There are more blessings and lots of benefits Inn-sha-Allah in trying to patiently observe a situation and learning to be contented than instantly assuming you're being oppressed or unjustly mistreated on purpose. For instance, since my husband was on duty at a different city and he couldn't attend the wedding, I asked one of my relatives if we can go together to the hotel and etc etc until we decided to go with taxi Alhamdulillah and then return with the car of another of our relatives without offense taken Alhamdulillah since the former arrived at the wedding late as they were asleep accordingly for some hours in the morning.
As much as possible never let pride/kibr (or big ego) cause you to have unnecessary conflict with your family and loved ones. Be the first to forgive for Allah's sake and understand that not everything in this temporary dunya is bound to go exactly as how you'd like it to be. This earth is a platform of tests, not heaven or garden of eternal bliss.
3• Remind yourself that as long as Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala created you as a human being, you're not the only individual in this universe who gets tired, sleepy, worried, overwhelmed and stressed out sometimes, which is another valid reason to never envy others because all of us humans have our own set of struggles, worries and different problems to solve.
Alhamdulillah I'm grateful also that we were able to enjoy again more of the flavorful dishes of sister Jannah Umm Muhammad. You're welcome to order from her whenever she's not busy with other orders. She's one of the Muslim female entrepreneurs I recommend here in the Philippines as in my opinion she tries her best Inn-sha-Allah to ensure that her cooking are halal and reach safely to the customers' destination.
May Allah the Most Kind always bless her halal businesses and also bless the marriages of those Muslims who sincerely want to keep their love halal and blessed in both worlds. Ameen.

📝 My comebacks to females who want divorce glorified,
And message to divorcees who often post online
Misleading "advice" to Muslim couples to despise
One's spouse if staying married can't keep one satisfied -
To those who won't solve problems but flee and cry "goodbye":
~•~
What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten the reason why
You approved that guy's proposal once upon a time?
Did you marry him for Allah or did you desire
More joys which not every human can always provide?
Mistakes can sometimes be made by humans and AI.
~•~
You claiming that "divorce is 'ibaadah" is unwise
If the man you abandoned tries his best day and night
To be a better Muslim and spouse to his wife/wives,
Eager to earn halal income so his fam can thrive
And you decide to ditch him due to kibr / foul pride.
~•~
Please, your husband is not "toxic" if once in a while
He answers you grumpily whenever he gets tired
Or if he disappoints you when he from time to time
Forgets, misinterprets or doesn't know all your likes
And dislikes, because he's a human like you, all right.
~•~
Glorifying divorce is like showing strange delight
When competing athletes give up before they arrive
At the finish line as they were too preoccupied
With wanting better footwear or fighting pesky flies.
You're a loser if you romanticize kibr/pride.
~•~
What? You never loved your former spouse enough to try
To reconcile, find ways to ensure your love survives
Much longer, with patience, than cobwebs, nests and beehives,
And to empathize with him, stay firm when criticized,
And recall his gifts so his good traits are magnified?
~•~
A marriage is not "loveless" or "toxic", please don't lie,
If the spouses debate and disagree oftentimes.
It's fine if some loved ones and true friends argue sometimes.
If there were no quarrels, no one could apologize,
No one would have the chance to forgive and reunite.
~•~
Marriages free from arguments could also imply
The couples are robots devoid of feelings and spice,
Or they're actors constantly acting with contrived smiles.
Divorce mostly adds stress and remorse; it's not designed
For those whose love for Allah's sake is larger than pride.

📖 Jabir RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, shaytan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations (mischief, trouble). One of them says: 'I have done this and this.' shaytan says: 'you have done nothing.' Another one says: 'I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.' shaytan embraces him and he says: 'you have done well!'"
