Reunited, the Muslim WAY!

Life is truly a wonder!

After being through two rocky relationships with Christian men in the past, I wondered how my new Muslim life would help me to forgive and forget. Then I remembered that once I declared the Shahada that I was like a new born baby who had just started with a clean slate. With this thought, I smiled to myself. Allahu  Akbar!

I found that I could not commit to any relationship after my husband of so many years, because I was still in love with him.

We had never lost touch with each other. As a matter of fact, we were the best of friends.

The marriage word came up on many of our conversations, but we would brush it off. Then during one of the conversations, it became serious. This is when I mentioned to him that I could not marry him because I was now Muslim.

As the days went by, he began to ask more and more questions about the path of Islam. I found myself recalling all of the knowledge that I had gathered and shared it with him. He was very anxious to learn and understand the way of life that I had chosen to be a part of.

Soon, he decided that he wanted to commit himself to this way of life, too. I reminded him that this was not something that he could take lightly. That this way of life took much discipline and dedication in praising Allah. He was not steered away by what I told him. As a matter of fact, he was more determined that ever to go forward with becoming a part of the Islam family.

It was the brightest point in many months when he declared and recited the Shahada after doing Wudo.

Ash hadu alla illa ill- allah wadhu la shareeka lahu waashadu anna sayyidana Muhammadin abduhu wa rasoolooloo. (3xs)
(There us no god but God and Mohammad is His Servant and His Messanger)

There were two witness and ,also, Allah..

And, guess what? On November 30th, we became husband and wife, again. This time as a Muslim couple!
