During life we have all tried to push, force, or make something happen that we later found out to be the greatest thing not to have happened!
I had been divorced from my husband for 5 years. Many relatives continuously asked, "when are you going to get married?" To tell the truth, I just wasn't ready! I still was not over my ex-husband. We had been together for nearly 2 decades.
My biggest mistake was to stop waiting on Allah and to start listening to those around me. I took it upon myself to start viewing dating sites. I was too shy to initiate anything, and I rarely went anywhere to even talk to anyone other than my family or to my neighbors.
After a couple of weeks, I started to communicate with someone. Didn't think that there was any harm in it because we didn't meet in person, we couldn't really see each other, and we didn't have the risks of touching each other. The conversation was nice, especially, when most of my time was spent on my children's matters. Adult subjects and talks was a welcomed breath of fresh air.
As the weeks progressed in conversation, I thought that I knew this person well enough to meet him. But, not alone. We decided to meet at the hospital where his father was a patient. The person was older than what he'd stated in his profile. I forgave this issue and blinded the truth.
In the following weeks, he lulled me with trips, gifts, credit cards, rides on his motor cycle, and dinners at fancy restaurants. This was just what I thought I wanted and needed because I had been through so much heart ache and tears over the years. Struggling to make ends meet, trying to make meals for my children out of noodles, not having enough gas to go to a job interviews, and not being able to buy myself clothing in 10 years. Yes, I really thought that this was what I needed.
Even though I continued to pray, I still wasn't really listening to what Allah was saying. All of the glitter made me forget that Shaitan was always near.
I then married this person, after only a couple of months. Three days into the marriage, he began to treat me very, very cruel. Two days later, he tried to kill me by choking. I will spare you the details.
The thing is, I'd stopped putting Allah's guiding voice first. Shaitan took this, ran with my temporary blindness and deafness, and then trapped me in a situation where I nearly lost my life. .
The point is this, don't push, force, or manipulate a situation to please others. If it is not happening in Allah's time and in His way, it will be disastrous. Allah is All Knowing. When we ignore His teachings and His voice, we will find ourselves in the clutches of Shaitan. Just pray for Allah's guidance at all times, and remember to always listen to him. Again, Allah is All Knowing. He knows what your relatives and friends don't know, and that which they will never know.
Allahu Akbar!
