Foreword

Assalamu'alaikum. Welcome to this plain, mediocrely designed hut of mine. I love to write, and this is where I write. Things that I write, there might be mistakes in them. I seek refuge in Allah swt for me and you from the harm my writing may bring. Any good from it, may He swt reward me for that and spread the good to others. Any words that appear displeasing to you, don't take it to heart for I don't intend to hurt anyone in any way. Any advices I put forward, may Allah swt give me the taufiq to first act upon them, for they might testify against me in the hereafter. Jazakallah Khair.

speaking of beauty

Back in Worcester, when I was on jaulah with Br. Intikhab & Bai Yazid, we met the imam of Masjid Alhamdulillah. I don't recall his name though (my apology!) When he saw me, he started a kind of one-way conversation. This was more or less how it went;

Imam: "...subhanallah..you're still young. How old are you?"
Me: "21"
Imam: "What's your name?"
Me: "Adam"
Imam: "Adam? So where's Hawa? Have you found Hawa yet? You didn't bring her with you?"
Me: (what?) (speechless)
Imam: "...you're being with the right people...I pray so that your Hawa is more beautiful than the first Hawa."

Oh imam, how is that even possible? Hawa was created by Allah swt as the most beautiful woman on Earth. No women surpass her in beauty, either from those who have existed or from those to come. Even the wife of Prophet Ibrahim as, Sarah, who was known for her remarkable beauty, comes second on the list. Hearing about the stories of Sarah's beauty, I must say that our Hawa's beauty must have been off the charts! I expected no less from the mother of all mankind.


P/S: I think what he meant was my Hawa will be the most beautiful in my eyes. Exactly! (say ameen!) =)
