Alhamdulillah, I'm engaged 💍
I would love to write about my engagement day ❤️
First and foremost, fiance and fiancee come from an Old French words meaning "promise"✋ which ultimately come from a Latin word "fidere" meaning "to trust" 😇
I would say, engagement is a trust we put on our future spouse to not break this promise 😊🌹
(Candid photo could be the best photo, isn't it?)
To be honest, a decision to get engaged isn't easy for me 🤦. This is a huge decision. Those who know me would say "FINALLY!" But insha Allah I made this decision consciously and firmly 🌸
A month before we got engaged, I asked him once again if he is sure about this and he said he's sure. Alhamdulillah, both are sure with each other. I mean, we all deserve someone who is sure about us right? ☺️
(People ask me if I was nervous on the day. I didn't really because I already felt nervous a month before hahaha)
I never know what future holds for us but we will always try to remember this:
"Aku tidak tahu apa yang Allah takdirkan untukku tapi aku bersangka baik dengan Allah"
"Taqdir Allah itu baik-baik belaka"
-nuurolsyakirah
My fiance once reminded us:
"Urusan jodoh ini sukar untuk manusia tapi sangat mudah untuk Allah."
13/7/2019 is the date we are engaged to each other. A step closer to make this relationship halal. We pray that Allah will put barokah in this journey insha Allah.✨
My intention of letting people know that I'm engaged is so that:
1) People will pray for this journey to be smooth until we finally tie the knot 🤵👰 and start the taaruf process all over again as a husband and wife. Really in need of your kind prayers 🌸
Beloved ibu and ayah 🥰
2) People will guide me throughout this process, give me tips and calm me down when I get overwhelmed 🤯
3) People will remind me to always be mindful (have taqwa) , to keep it moderate (not too lenient, not too rigid) and to always take care of myself ☘️
People say that this process would be challenging but this is the challenge that I'm willing to take🔥
Willing to take on the challenges?
Do pray for us. May all your kind prayers will go back to you in a better way 😊
P/s: some people might think that I shouldn't be too hype about this as this isn't 100% sure. But, I guess it's good to enjoy the present moment and to take note about the journey. We pray for the best and for the goodness. I should be reminded of how grateful I am to get engaged with this man and to know his family 🌸
Therefore, when there might be unpleasant things happen in between (Allah will definitely test us), I would always be reminded, I never regret taking this decision. Remember what Gottman (relationship psychologist) said : for every 1 negative interaction during conflict, a happy couple should have 5 (or more) positive interactions.
Moga kekal dalam ketaatan kerana fitrah cinta itu suci dan tak dicemari dengan derhaka kepada Ilahi✨
Alright, that's the end of the post for my engagement day. Insha Allah I'll write again about the journey when we both finally making a sacred contract (mitsaqan ghalizo) 🌸 Pray for us and may the angels will pray for you too 🌹
