Marriage

September 8, 2008

You know, I’ve always had thoughts on early marriage, but I’ve never really talked about it thoroughly.

We live in a place where people want to have sex with their own gender, where people even want to have sex with animals, astaghfirAllah.

And the worst thing is, our parents don’t see it.

It’s us who see everything, and yet have to live with our parents mentality of the world.

Stick to the traditions.

You’re going to finish all your education first, so forget about women.

Sorry mom and dad, but I can’t forget about them.

Woman: Hi, do you wanna study with me? =)
Raheel: Sorry… I have things to do, uhhh, later…

Woman: Hey didn’t you live on campus last year? You look familiar…
Raheel: Uhhh… nope, sorry gotta go…

Woman: You make me feel short… =(
Raheel: ………………….. Ok…

Mom and Dad, how I long for you to understand. How I wish I could just videotape my life to show you. How I wish I could make a movie and outline all the reasons why you don’t understand what goes on here.

Yes, you say you do understand, but even when you went to college, that was when people actually wore clothes and had some kind of modesty.

You tell me MTV is bad, and I know this, but you don’t understand that real life is MTV on overdrive.

I might as well have someone in mind so that I don’t go completely insane and just lose it. Maybe because I like that she’s not like many people I know. Maybe because she seems like a very nice person. Maybe because every time I’ve seen her, she’s helping out with this or that.

She reminds me of… well, me. People are attracted to people who are just like them.

And even then, what else can you look at in a person before you get serious? There’s not much.

I was put on this Earth for no other reason to worship Allah and to love whichever person Allah grants me to the fullest extent.

I really have no interest in anything else. I could care less about games, cars, sports, etc.

The only thing I want in dunya is the gift of having a significant other.

And without that, what am I to do?

I have to make myself fall in love with games, cars, sports etc.

Because I can’t have what I really want.

But you’ll know when the time comes, whoever you are, I wouldn’t give a second thought to giving you whatever makes you happy.
