Registering Our Muslim Matrimonial

And so now its official. The guessings and the plannings and the confusions of the date-settings has come to an end.

And now comes the jitters, the cold-feet, the butterflies in the stomach, the anticipation, the anxiety, the happiness, the sadness......anything and every emotions, all rolled into one.

And we hereby declare that our solemnisation date will be 190108. This will be a small occasion involving family members and very close relatives and friends. Customary will only be done at a later date, when my father can come and join us.

In about a month's time. One month. Sheesh...

It's like a wonderful dream. It's really happening ain't it?

Is it necessary for a good date/month for Nikah?

And this has been bothering us for awhile....

Cos my side prefers a good day and a good month for this auspicious occasion. But his side has pointed out that a nikah is an auspicious event on its own and there is no need for a good date/month. A good thing like nikah needs to be carried out, favourably, as soon as possible.

Being us, we're confused. And being us, we do not want to disagree with any sides. So its our call. and we have to do our own research.....

And i came across this article.

And with his words i quote;

"When someone intends to perform two Rakats of Salat then must he print posters and send everyone cards asking them to assemble in the Jame Masjid before performing the two Rakats?"

Cos....Nikah is an ibadah. Which need not be told to the whole world when we want to complete and ibadah.

Which I/We conclude, that yes, we will Nikah soon, regardless of date/month. And only the neccessary people will be there to be my/our witnesses as required in our Hadith.

But cultures and customs will not be forgotten, and a walimah will be done for family and friends at a later date. Walimah's date has been set. Nikah's date has not...

Stay tuned.....!!

To Rent or to Tailor? The verdict....

We thank you all (or some)for your valuable input whether in this board, or verbally.
And with all your comments, we have decided.

So yesterday, 09th dec 07, we have officially tailored our solemnisation costume. Its' beautiful and my future hubby n in laws loved it so much! Mom n dad in-law have decided to tailor for himself and Faizal too for Raya!

More or less, our shopping for the exchanging of gifts is nearly done. Loved what we bought for each other. Practical and useful.

Thank you!!

And do still stay tune.....!

The Prep Course

And the day came....

02 Dec 2007

We met Ustaz Syed Esa. We loved how he touch on marriage subjects. On how he tries to reach out to us but not forgetting tht we came from another era. He has aged, but he keeps in touch with the modern times, the thigns he teach, we can apply. He is not boring, very funny, comical and very entertaining. Our course is a crash one, short and sweet. And marriage is a learnign process, so he kept our session short and simple...but we can come back for more when he conducts other sessions, touching on more elaborate subjects.

But the highlight of the day is......we finally got our cert!!! WOW!! We are so many steps closer to becoming the REAL thing!! Im scared cos i know my priorities will change but nevertheless, we are excited!!

Anyways, if you are interested to study under Ustaz Syed, contact me to get his contact details.
Trust me. He is good. And then you will appreciate Islam, not as a religion, but as The Way of Life.

Stay tuned........

This is mine!!
