People sometimes said to
me, "Izzah, Jelesnye tgk kau...dh kawen, dh ade anak" and sort of.
Yes, I'm happy with my
life now, with a loving husband, Imran Tuan Yaacob and my precious little boy,
Ilyas. Alhamdulillah~ All praise to Allah.
However, the truth is,
I have less time for myself, less flexibility.
I can’t go out with my
friend whenever I want.
I can’t spend my money
to go to programs or additional classesas much as I wish.
I can’t sleep over at
friend’s house.
It’s hard to travel for
days with only friends.
When I got home, most
of my time is spent on my son.
I am not complaining.
I know those are how
life would be after you got married.
What I am saying is what
Allah gave us is according to our condition and ability.
If you are getting or
got married, adapt, be more mature, learn the science and art or marriage, give
and take, don’t forget to socialize with friends and society, and try to do
your best to please Allah.
And if you are single, you
have more time and flexibility to get involve in charity and volunteering, benefiting
programs/talk/conference, cooking/baking/sewing/business classes, outdoor
activities, quality time with family and friends, and many more.
If we want to compare
the pros and cons of life before and after marriage, it won’t end.
Be happy, be thankful,
do everything you can do now.
The most important is,
read more, gain more knowledge, not to be showed off but to be internalized.
May Allah helps us and
guide us in everything we do. InsyaAllah.
