Today my good friend and Arabic teacher for the past one and a half years, Ustaz Afif Pasuni, got married.

Attending a wedding reception with so many asatizahs in the gathering is an eye opener. Here are some templates ; ) I took away fromt the event:

  1. Loud music and deejays and what have you can suffocate the event. His had none of those, was simple, and sweet. The only things you heard were the voices of families, ukhwa and laughter.
  2. Good variety of food makes guests and occasion happy. Here I stress variety: rice, noodles, fruits, ice kacang, goreng pissang, sate…

The event was also good timing as I had to do up a poem on marriage for a magazine, and needed some urgent inspiration. Alhamdulillah here’s the piece:

One Day

It is the day when hearts are truly intertwined,

When characters are tested with responsibilities predefined,

Both man and woman continue to thread life in harmony,

Yet this time they breathe with His blessings as a family.

Yet thunder may come, rain might pour,

So too in marriage, but be steadfast and endure,

Use the Sunnah and the best example there is,

To live your lives together in calm and bliss.

In time appearances change, yet don’t be hasty,

Look to their hearts, therein lies true beauty,

And say to your partner - I treasure your company,

In this world I will strive to give you safety.

And your weaknesses are mine, and together we pray,

I hope to meet you once again, in heaven,

One day.

Of course, being his Arab student, I wanted to make him happy. And so my well wishes were also in Arabic too…

Barakallaahu laka, wa baaraka ‘alaika, wa jama’a bainakumaa fii khairin.

May Allah shower you with His blessings, and may both of you live in harmony and in happiness.

Amin, InsyaAllah.
