Changes

Life is exciting and a challenge and can be a lot of fun! inshaAllah we all have a pleasant life, yet as much as we would like to have a pleasant life we should also keep in mind it doesn’t last forever, and everyone wants it pleasant after its over.

Don’t keep delaying those changes that need to be done whether its its setting your prayer on time, or quitting your conscious rubbing job or leaving a haram relationship. You Can make those changes now, you may not be able to make them later.

Salaaam aleykum
so its good to blog again, feel like am becoming a bit alien to this,
marriage life is good alhamdullelah, different though but good, you become responsible to someone, and an americano is double trouble ! no not really but yeah somewhat but no again, you get the pic. But of course, Americans are way better than Egyptians! :D I'm jealous.

Cairo driving
driving in cairo is horrible, no one follows an rules its like a vedio game but it can be nice too, I go like freakin 160km/h on the highway, going between the cars and all, am so cool like that, ehm yeah. and sometimes you would get some dude who wanna race you like its need for speed, I win most ones, its best when you come next to him and driving fast past and cut him of ohhhh thats good! but I never provoke anyone, and its also cool when you look at the other dude and he tryin to be some hot shot and he s a little weasel. I am super cool!

which takes us on to bodybuilding of course!

yup I havent really made that much improvements as I should, been very busy the past few months, but I guess now I am easily passing the 17 inch barrier on arms I bench press 220 pounds 8 reps on a bad day and now I can do shrugs with 400 pounds 8 reps, I tried dieting before marriage and went from 108kg to 102 in 3 weeks and I gained it all back after marriage! Cuz my wife makes the tastiest food ever, she should be a chef. haha just eating sweets all the time and all those cup cakes i had! so anyways its time for a serious cut 8 to 12 weeks need to take a break though my shoulders are cranky,

and inshaAllah my proposal for thesis is to be handed in very soon wa Allah al musta3aan.

I am a nerd, and i am proud. Peace out!

P.S red stuff my wife typed.

Bismillah wal Hamdullelah wasalatu wa salamu 3alla rasul Ellah, wa 3alla Alahi wa 9ahbihi wa man walah,

:D

so after long patience, and plenty of dua and waiting, I have signed out from the single men's club,

As I have imagined in my younger days of practicing how my wife would be, my wife embraced Islam at an age of 17 and is americano. She embraced it right about the same time when I started practicing, ramadan 2002, subhan Allah wa mashaAllah she left everything for Islam and faced difficultied sticking to her deen.

Things were tough and not going well - without going into details- she saw the prophet sallah Allahu 3alayhi wa sallam, and he reminded her of Allah and that the way of this deen is tough and he talked to her about difficulties he salla Allah 3alayhi wa sallam faced in spreading the message. Oh and he told her she cant take off her niqab but infront of her husband :D and in the dream it was clear that we were getting married.

Mahr (Dowary)

I thought I was naive when I was 17 when I got my first dollar, that I got as change from some money i had exchanged. I remember keeping it later on and saying this will be the maher (dowary) I give to my future wife, and thats all she would take. I always had kept it since then, since 2002 just for that special some one whom if she would have what am looking for would be very happy to take. I asked her how much mahr you want, and she was like "I dunno I dont care about that" I later told her bout my dollar haha, she was touched and she said she wanted it and nothing else, and now alhamdullelah she keeps it.

I told the sheikh who spoke in our cermony about her dream, he was trying hard to keep his tears and he joked about her being a companion of the prophet salla Allahu 3alayhi wa asalam, he gave me advice, on being nice to her, and that if I make her happy, Allah will make me happy.

إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward[33;35]

may Allah make us of those men and women
