"And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect." Our story began long before we actually met; it began with the decree of Allah (SWT) and the prayers of our parents. If you had told us years ago how our paths would cross, we wouldn't have believed it. We were each navigating our own lives, focusing on our education and career paths, while our Creator was working on His plan. It serves as a beautiful reminder that while we plan, Allah (SWT) is the Best of Planners. He gives you a story better than the one you tried to write. We are endlessly grateful to Him for this union and for the love and mercy He has placed between us. We can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful union with all of you.
