From an Arranged Marriage to Deep Love

“AlhamduliLah (praise be to God), I’ve been married for several years, despite all our ups and downs we tend to ne'er left every other’s aspect.

Within three weeks of being married, my husband was diagnosed with cancar. We laugh about it nw and say our honeymoon destination was the hospital!  By the way,, we tend to ne'er did find yourself occurring a honeymoon. we tend to we tend tore simply setting out our wedding that was forcibly organized however alhamduliLah we grew to love each other when our long distance nikah (marriage contract).

During that point, we tend to wrote letters to at least one another and waited weeks for a response! Long gone ar those days currently. however they we tend tore lovely hand-written letters jam-packed with love and keenness for a stranger—in western terms— that we wrote to at least one another solely on the premise of knowing that a strong contract sure us—ournikah.

So once I was finally “given away,” we tend to started our life. i used to be in my second year of university and my husband was a replacement migrator to Canada from Islamic Republic of Pakistan. As you'll be able to imagine, cash was tight—we had Associate in Nursing lodging, I had a part-time job, he had no work or adequate education at the time, and our oldsters thought this was a decent time for wedding though we tend to failed to suppose so!

Anyway Supreme Being, subhanahu WA ta`ala (exalted is He), is really the most effective of planners. when a modest party we tend to were “officially” married. 3 weeks later when experiencing shortness of breath, it had been discovered my husband had cancer.

Our world came to a stop. the primary week of his treatment was the longest week of my life! Time stood still, however I knew Supreme Being (swt) would save him.  I questioned my religion at that point. we tend to plowed  ahead through all the treatment—both chemo and radiation! and also the treatment worked fantastically alhamduliLah.

All the whereas I worked in a very part-time job making an attempt to pay rent and canopy the fundamental expenses. My oldsters allowed US to maneuver in with them quickly.

Luckily, living in Canada, we tend to had access to prime of the road cancer treatment at patrician Margaret Hospital in Toronto.  What a blessing indeed…if my husband was in Islamic Republic of Pakistan his family would have had to sell their modest home and sell abundant of what they in hand for his treatment.

AlhamduliLah after the treatment, tears, pain and physical and emotional scars, my husband has been cancer-free for fourteen years by Allah’s grace (swt).

We have two beautiful children. This was another blessing because in any case his treatment, doctors were unsure if we could have children, and because of the price of storing sperm we decided that was the last of our priorities.  We left it up to Allah (swt). If we tend to were meant to have youngsters he would bless US with them! And so He did!

During my husband’s treatment he had a dream that he was creating tawaf in Mecca round the Kabah.  He wished to go for hadj however of course he was too weak.

A few months when my husband’s treatment was complete, my kinswoman known as and asked US if we tend to may prolong a completely sponsored hadj trip from herself and my uncle!  Subhan’Allah (glory be to God)! thus our initial day was spent on the Hajj! World Health Organization may have asked for a a lot of lovely trip than that—all expenses paid? thus we tend to went and had the foremost wondrous expertise!  My initial experience hearing theadhan (call to prayer) in Medina crammed my eyes with tears and that i trembled as I cried uncontrollably. Was this for real? Subhan’Allah!

Because my husband’s neoplasm was near his heart, throughout radiotherapy we tend to were told some injury may result on his heart creating him a lot of probably to develop a cardiovascular disease. Fast-forward and that we ar currently within the method of sorting out if his heart is totally healthy or not. Doctors have raised some considerations. once more we tend to ar along, aspect by side!  Pray for him please!

During experiences like this, however will we tend to not convey Supreme Being (swt) for every other’s company? though our wedding occurred beneath not thus ideal conditions, it had been worthwhile as a result of it brought US nearer to Supreme Being (swt).

There isn’t on a daily basis that I don’t convey Supreme Being (swt) for transportation my husband into my life.  He has forever been my rock, and that i see him as an exquisite gift from Supreme Being (swt) to Pine Tree State.  He has helped Pine Tree State grow in numerous ways in which.

We still argue and disagree however honestly, compared to what we've been through thus early in our wedding, several problems don't hassle US.

AlhamduliLah I joke with my husband and say my male parent created the most effective call {for Pine Tree State|on behalf of me}! My male parent went for hadj and prayed for a partner for me, and if I wished to search out such an exquisite man on my very own I doubt I may have!

So that’s my story! many thanks for the chance to specific my feeling to Supreme Being (swt) for transportation such a fine man in my life!”
