One afternoon, Nasruddin and his friend were sitting in a cafe, drinking tea and talking about life and love. His friend asked: “How come you never married?”
“Well,” said Nasruddin, “to tell you the truth, I spent my youth looking for the perfect woman. In Cairo I met a beautiful and intelligent woman, but she was unkind. Then in Baghdad, I met a woman who was a wonderful and generous soul, but we had no common interests. One woman after another would seem just right, but there would always be something missing. Then, one day, I met her. Beautiful, intelligent, generous and kind. We had very much in common. In fact, she was perfect!”
“What happened?” asked Nasruddin’s friend, “Why didn’t you marry her?”
Nasruddin sipped his tea reflectively. “Well,” he replied, “it’s really the sad story of my life…. It seemed she was looking for the perfect man…

Lessons for you:
First good match... say Bismillah and move forward :) inshaAllah
Sometimes we are too busy looking for the "perfect" one and forget to make dua'
thanks Raneem
rk -advice has been noted ..:-)
and sister!....dua is our most powerful tool..I AGREE..100%
in retrospect ...I dont think this joke is talking about me....you know why?
cause I am the PERFECT MAN...:-)..( j/k)
Looks like SOMEBODY isn't STUDYING!!
lol
The DEEN, all one should look for is the deen.
Insh'allah May Allah keep us guided.
ameen.
If the person is on deen, they will love you not, for wealth, health, beauty and status, but for Allah and Allah alone.
If someone marries for wealth, it takes a second to end up on the streets, if someone marries for beauty, every one will loose their charms in the end, if someone marries for the sake of the love of attraction, passionate love only lasts but a short time before one realizes the real reason for which they married and since the reason isnt there any more the marriage is over..
This is the time when we need to attain as much 'perfection' as we can, for after marriage there will be kids and the kids will be the rosebuds of our ummah, we CANNOT waste this time and expect our kids to bloom and be Huffaz and Ulema and the like by themselves, they will follow in our footsteps, and if we spend time watching T.V. and listening to songs, they will go further than that (God forbid..)
If we strive to perfect our deen right now, they will try to perfect their deen and possibly attain that proximity to Allah which we might never be able to achieve on our own and insh'allah maybe even end up taking us along to jannah with them.
..insh'allah...

Ok all done,
back to studying now..

MARRIAGE MARRIAGE MARRIAGE! UKH whats all the fuss about anyways!! :P
my dad on my 20th birthday, in a very VERY serious tone, while smoking and working, with the cigarette in his mouth, says,"20 to 25, yup..thats all you have baita, thats all the time you have"
n I'm like..Your joking right..but he wasnt. but I still find it SO FUNNY hahaha...haha..haa..ha.ehe..heh..eh?
Dang!
The perfect man?
U?
I'de like some standard deviations, means, main effects, graphs, and other statistical data to support your claim.
Was there a control group used?, were the participants randomly assigned?,
Was the independent variable properly manipulated?
And most important of all, was the Sample representative of the population in question?
If not,
:P
sorry I couldnt help it..
Research Methods exam on tuesday :( (Psychology FILTER course (Basically filters out all the students in the program))
for one thing
hammad has a bunch of great friends :P
Faray, ( I just have exam left alhamdulillah..its easy-I think- and far away)Thanks for that statistical analysis. I had many samples in my study. I stood between two mirrors and analyzed many images of myself. :-P. I agree deen shuold be the priority , however, Other things in a spouse are implictly related to his/her deen and hence will affect your deen hence I think it is important people consider all factors in a potential match in a prioritized manner. Allah hu alim.
Khany man--motay--whats up? hope your exam prep is going well! great freinds? Apnay mu mian mithoo....talking about yourself eh?
I think I understand what you mean, is it about the stable characteristics one has that should also be considered as well??..
HA HAAA! lol, good sampling however that is not..well you know that's not real sampling lol..
anyways Have a great vacation all! :D ..
Insh'allah.
And about you having 'great friends'.. no doubt about it ;)
