“The road to Jannah is not straight. There’s a curve called Dunya, a loop called Money, speed bumps called pleasure and temptations, red lights called Enemies & Satan.… But on the positive side, if you have a spare called Salah, an engine called La illaha Illallah, an insurance called Imaan,a driver called Muhammad (peace be upon him) Insha’Allah you’ll make it to a place called Jannah.”

Alhamdulilah,

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Almighty God, the Lord of the worlds; and all prayers and blessings are upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad, his family, Companions and followers. After a very demanding and tiring day, I have yet to conclude my blog today with this post.
An amazing book, written by Dr. 'Aid al-Qarni  'You can be the happiest woman in the world' with many beautiful stories, hadiths and beneficial points, it is hands down one of the best religious books I have read.
The story I would like to share with you guys is one written under the heading 'Advice of a successful woman'.

A modern mother offered her daughter the following advice:

"O' my daughter, you are about to emark on a new life -- a life which there is no room for your father and mother, or for any of your brothers and sisters. In this new life you will become a companion to your husband who will not want to share you with anyone. Not even your own flesh and blood.

Be a wife to him and a mother. Make him feel that you are everything to him in life. Always remember that a man, any man is like a big child and any sweet word will make him happy. Do not make him feel that by marrying you he had deprived you of your own family, for he is experiencing similar feelings himself. He has also left his parents house and left his family for your sake. But the difference between him and you is the difference between man and woman; a woman always longs for her family and the house in which she was born and grew up. But she has to resign herself to this new life and adapt to living with this man who has become her husband and who will be the father of her children... this is your new world.

My daughter! this is your present and your future, this is your family which you and your husband will make together. I am not asking you to forget your father, mother and siblings, because they will never forget you. How can a mother forget the child who is the apple of her eye? But I am asking you to love your husband and live with him and be happy in your life with him"
