This eBook is translated from a booklet Sebab

Mekarmu Hanya Sekali, Surat Cinta untuk Puteri
Tercinta authored by Haikal Hira Habibullah. This
booklet was a winner of a writing contest which was
organized by Al-Sofwa Jakarta foundation and later
distributed for charity. It is an affectionate letter, a
beautiful advice of a father to his beloved daughter
who come at an age to step into the outside world.
Indeed, the outside world is not friendly at all. Its

enchantment, adorement and all which look so
beautiful are nothing but a trial. A fake beauty
which is not last forever. Everyone could be trapped
easily in misery, let alone a girl, because she
blossoms only once.

Cause Your Blossoms Only Once
As the wind of time sweeps you
On rock or on mud
Keep the fragrance, O my petal
Remain beautiful in the wild prairie
So that youre the one that will be picked
Cause you blossom only once

Introduction

All praise is due to Allah The Exalted and The Most

High, Lord of The Universe. May He give us
strength and patient in every step we make on His
earth. May peace and blessing be upon Muhammad
, the last Prophet, the noblest man and His
beloved. His presence was a gift to this dark world,
the only complete guidance for all mankind
thereafter. And may peace and blessing be upon his
family his noble companions, the people of
knowledge and all his people (ummah) of whom he
never stop loving.
My beloved daughter!!
Watching your deep sleep in your mother arms, had

always convinced me that everything would be fine.
Enjoying your tender breath on the cradle always
comforts my feeling at that time. Those beautiful
moments had passed swiftly. And ages had taken its
due. Until days became weeks, and months changed
to years, I realised suddenly that soon you will be
gone from my side. For the time has come for you to
______________________________________________ 2
go. Lead your own life. Yes, it is time for me to let

you go to a new life out there.
World outside! It is a place which is not friendly at

all my dear. A place where you have to survive in the
middle of threats that will always challenge you.
With the world that become older, filled with
various facilities which should have simplified this
life. But alas, all of it in fact has made the reality of
lives become more chaotic, and in a total mess.
Recently, all kind of evil and action of the ignorance
have performed themselves openly. Free society
with various background and reasons have
distanced people from the ideal life. Free mixing
between men and women that happened on every
span of the earth has become something ordinary
and natural. And without anyone notices it, this
natural thing has indicated dangerous symptoms.
Yes, varied negative impacts on free mixing culture
have taken place. And again, women, like you, are
the first who feel the effect, directly or indirectly.
News from various media only contain dreadful
thing for mind and soul. Everyone is racing to
present the evil and the dark side of life. The
appearance of evil and wickedness around us are
only a matter of time. There is no truly save place
everywhere. So much so. Today when I look out to
this wild world from our window, suddenly He
(Allah) moves my hand to write a few words which I
will entrust to you.
______________________________________________ 3
So for you, my beloved daughter, I write this letter.

Covered with pray and love that will never dry, I will
ask Allah, The Exalted and The Most High The
Owner of every soul to protect you in the shade of
salvation and His love. As for you to know that I
love you so much and dont want the wicked trap of
world defeat you.
Finally, enjoy your adolescence, my daughter. Guard

always your heart and yourself, everywhere, every
time.
May Allah The Exalted and The Most High guides us

all.

When the Seed Starting to Grow
A drop of captivated love

And the seed of affection blushed in shyness
Wrapped with hope and pray
Then it is time for the breathing of the soul
Be! And it is you!
My beloved daughter..!
No one knows what will happen in future. Even

when the blink of the eye and the breath come out
from this transitory body and absorbed by the
surrounding world. We never know whether we still
have a chance to blink the eyes again. We could not
even guarantee ourselves to breath the air in the
next second, except by the permission of The Owner
of life, Allah The Exalted and The Most High bestow
His blessings. Indeed, it is destiny that has guided
you until this point.
It is what happened at that moment. Periods where

the seeds of love from your parents was united in a
sacred marriage. Hereupon, Allah created and grew
this pure seed of love with His mercy. Protected and
cared you in the loving womb every second. And
time passed by until the day when people gather
around hoped and worried, waiting for your birth.
______________________________________________ 5
And to you, I would like to reveal the saying of Allah

, the meaning of a child, like you, for me:
$# % & ' "!

# ( )
And know that your possessions and your children
are but a trial and that surely with Allah is a mighty
reward. (QS Al-Anfal [8] : 28)
That is the fact. Even your birth which makes me so

happy is indeed but a trial and a test. With His
Knowledge, He has entrusted you in our care. So
you must understand that in carrying this
trusteeship requires a suitable process and method.
Therefore, when the time comes to bear you afs my
responsibility before Him, I could smile and be
proud of you.
Furthermore, theres no other desire in me except a

wish to take you to the path of light which He has
set. Your future which we dont even know yet
should be passed successfully. And especially for
you, my beloved daughter, make everything in past
as a driven power to face your future which we could
not figure out.

A Flower in the Prairie
The spreading out prairie

The rustling wind and the buzzing bee
The wind of time has changed its direction
Until your time will come
Never let your fragrance gone in vain
Today, time has brought you to an age which is so

enchanting. Time has changed the appearance and
the age has reached maturity. You have grown up to
be a big girl. Out there, gate of the outside world
which open widely is ready to welcome you with all
its flirt and tantalizing shine. Indeed, letting you go
into a society which is ignorant of Islamic law
always worried me. Realizing that the opened
canine tooth of life ready to attack you, force me to
once again remind you. But you must keep on
moving ahead. Therefore listen to my message, O
my beloved daughter! Do observe all phenomenons
around you which can defeat you. Have you realized
it?
______________________________________________ 7
Immoral Media
You are living in a period where time and place turn

into a dimension which is easy to access. Everyone
is able to know something happen in other part of
this world at the same time. Various sophisticated
technology has enabled everyone to convey
everything to others. Information facilities and
telecommunication develop very fast. That is why a
handphone, TV, radio and even internet become
public means in spreading information and
propaganda. Information from various sources and
interest will be very easy to form your character and
mind set if you dont have a strong fortress. Not to
mention the emergence of immoral media which is
easy to find on the street day after day. Magazines,
news papers, tabloid, even comics and novels that
are sweetly arranged only contain agitating stories
for the soul and a false dream. And you could get
those easily everywhere. Finally, these facts are only
adding to the bad appearance of the world.
You also must realize that society around you is a

group of sick people. Society which looks good is in
fact a brittle building which could be easily
destroyed any time, even only with a soft blow of a
wind.

When TV shows and secular western movies become

an obligatory entertainment as well as trade mark
for identity of recent generation, and idols of
teenagers are movie stars, actors, and athletes who
might never feel the true essence of life. So slowly
but sure, a civilization have shifted. The existence of
values of life, religious ethics and healthy mind set
are threaten and later will be changed by new order
and values which are ironically failure products
from their origin. Yes, the concept of secularism,
hedonism, nihilism, materialism and free sex are
indeed scum products from a so called modern
civilization.
High criminal rate, and high un-cured depression

and stress within western societies are evidence as
well as direct effects of the manifestation of those
concepts. Realizing the failed order, instead they
compete in finding new market for those scum
ideas so that the economic growth and the big plan
which they arrange could continue as planned. So
that is what we see around us today. Western image
is imitated blindly by some of the youth. The image
of advance and modern seem to be effective to
draw their attention.
Furthermore, through various and more advanced

media, those kinds of failure are presented nicely,
beautifully, and very tempting to their audience. Off
course, those have been well planned by the enemy
of Allah in their everlasting effort to destroy

and the Christians?" He said, "Whom else?"
(Related by Al-Bukhari, no. 22/298)
My beloved daughter!!
Never let your leisure time go in vain in front of the

TV set or in something which will not bring any
benefit in this world or the hereafter. Use your time
to study, seek the knowledge of your religion,
reading, and writing or do other beneficial activities.

The Misguided Emancipation
My beloved daughter!
The enemies of Islam never rest for a second to

think of ways so that the religion of Islam and its
follower become more destructed from time to time.
They never abandon the unawareness and ignorance
that attack almost all Muslim societies. Slowly but
sure, cunningly they use oriented methods to
influence the process of education and teaching of
Muslim women. Subtlely they blow the wind of
emancipation among you, women. Whereas behind
it, the big plan is to direct women to oppression and
push them to destruction and deviation
My daughter, do you know that emancipation

actually started with women demand for equal wage
and working hours with men whom working in a
same company in Europe. The discourse along with
women movement in Europe finally spread to other
field which spontaneously or maybe deliberately
planned by certain party. Furthermore, the demand
of equality has changed into demand of men rights
violation. For example, at the beginning women
demanded right in choosing spouse freely as happen
with the men. But that right has changed into
freedom of submitting themselves to whoever they
______________________________________________ 11
wish. Therefore, be careful with what youre doing,

especially in this regard. Because Allah has
reminded in His saying:
ML NO $ D
, E F
"! G # 6 H
I ( J K ?

Q R
And follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or
witness not, etc.) that of which you have no
knowledge (e.g. ones saying: "I have seen," while in
fact he has not seen, or "I have heard," while he has
not heard). Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and
the heart, of each of those you will be questioned
(by Allah). (QS Al-Israa [17] : 36)
Therefore, it is common to see women whether

going to or getting back from work walking alone or
in group at night. Not to mention labours and
working women who are getting used to do men job
in factories. Obviously this is not the way of
understanding the real status of women, which in
fact should be in a noble position.
Do you remember the story of Khadijah c and

Aisyah c? Both are the real women to be called as
success women. Because of their scent of
reputation, until now, in every period of time any
one can still feel their everlasting charm and
fragrance of the Muslim woman true quality. Hence,
______________________________________________ 12
will you still look for other idols which in reality

their status far behind both noble women? Indeed,
Khadijah c, The First Lady, was a career woman
as well as successful wife who should be an example
for everyone. Her Prominent figure, her strength,
generosity, and her success in business has been
proved. And it was followed by the success of
accompanying her husband as a leader of mankind.
An achievement which could never be attained by
other women in any period of time. Or dont you
want to be like Aisyah c who was a success
educator as well as a role model for her nation at the
time and after her beloved husband passed away?
The Humairah who was always proficient in helping
her husbands task, alert and lively in supporting
the programs of her husband, the Prophet and the
leader of mankind, while at the same time she never
abandoned her true function as a wife. Both of them
were the true career women, o my daughter! Both
are heroes and upholder of the true honour for her
fellow women. And both of them could set women
position in highest rank without detracting even the
smallest degree of their honour.
So listen, my daughter! Dont ever be tempted by

the wind of emancipation unceasingly brought by
people around you. Because, indeed, the main goal
of that jargon is not to save or free you from the
oppression, but rather to destroy you and your
religion from within.

The Unlimeted Free Mixing
Undeniable today is very difficult to find a place free

from the free mixing (ikhtilath) between men and
women. Ikhtilath happening in every aspect of life
continues on a level that is very difficult to cope.
Schools, campus, office buildings, factory and even
public place and transportation are not free from
the culture (i.e. free mixing). The condition of
apathetic society who is ignorance of religious
knowledge, not to mention strong influence of
western culture endlessly in blowing their cultural
wind has made it as if an obligation to be imitated.
And as a legitimation for this misguiding tradition
as well.
On the other hand, undeniable there are still many

educated men behind those policy maker who
consider that such gathering (free mixing) is a mean
of bringing true relationship between both sexes
which in the end be able to purify primal instinct
between the two even though the negative effect of it
is very clear. This should become a warning for
those who realise and understand the danger of free
mixing.
______________________________________________ 14
Many reports from in and outside this country

presenting a tragic and miserable society condition
resulted from free mixing. Educational institutions,
offices, or other places are becoming prosperous
field for expanding this dangerous concept. Because
ikhtilath in reality is a determinant for incidents
such as adultery, psychological problem. On the
other hand, these problems are not yet proved
capable of purifying the instinct as an excuse of
those educated man.
The continuing effect of the wretched condition

emerges in this confused society. Pregnancy cases
from illegitimate relationship, abortion, rape, even
suicide and homicide are the results of this culture.
Defective community order, corrupted morale and
lack of shame arose deep concern of life in the
future.
If only Muslims devotedly and steadfastly hold

Islamic concept in the right and wholly way
(kaffah), surely the influence of this ideology would
not enter or destroy their hearts and minds. On the
other hand, Muslims should also be firm in dealing
with non-Muslims deception who never stop
reaching their objective. Allah has given His
assurance of the victory of His religion from their
deception, under the condition that every Muslim
should be steadfast in upholding forbearance and
piety.

Cause You Blossom Only Once
Its been satisfyingly guarded

The blossom of which thats been waited
Fragrances scattered with sweet honey
A pure enchantment never be replaced
Envy are the grasses,
Waiting are the grasshoppers and the bees.
My beloved daughter,..!!
Wherever you go, indeed the earth that you step on

will be a witness for you in the Day of Reckoning.
When world temptation and allurement which are

getting heavier day by day will be there in the
future, always remember that you are part of the
community of noble creature created to be khalifah
on the earth. You are an inhabitant of the universe
whos inappropriate to act evil after the great
entrustment that has been put upon you. Even
mountains could not bear this great entrustment.

Truly,We did offer Al-Amanah (the trust or moral
responsibility or honesty and all the duties which
Allah has ordained) to the heavens and the earth,
and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and
were afraid of it (i.e. afraid of Allahs Torment). But
man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and
ignorant (of its results). (Al-Ahzab [33] : 72)
Nevertheless, Allah will not let you off without

sufficient provision. Allah bestow upon mankind
on earth advantages that if they are used in
accordance to His divine legislation, then this big
entrusment could be done well.
Indeed, theres no doubt that every human being is

created in the best creation. Put that in your mind
that you are born as a perfect creature. Listen to the
assurance of Allah Himself, how perfect the shape
of creature called human being, as Allah says:

gave to human being to differ and choose for the
truth as well as intelect as a marked difference from
other creature. Islam as your guidance has called to
each individual to use their mind and intelect in
order to be the noblest creature before Him.

Those who remember Allah (always, and in

sides, and think deeply about the creation of the
heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You

Imran [3] : 191)
In your life journey, you will find various allurement

and deceit of syaithan who never rest in trying to
tempt you. They will never give up getting what they
want. In this corrupted society, it is proper for you
to be involved in correction effort.
No matter how difficult it is to face obstacle and

temptation that you will deal later in your life
journey, He will grant convenience and safety for
His servant. He also had given guidance through

Hijab
My daughter, has it ever crossed your mind that you

are created upon enchanting nature. Have you ever
realised how your existance on earth is also but a
trial for the life of and ignorants? Therefore,
remember always the saying of The Messenger of
Allah :

Im not leaving more of a trial after me for men,
than the trial of women. (Related by al-Bukhari,
no. 4808 and Muslim, no. 2740, 2741).
Look...! Unfortunately woman are an issue that man

should be dealing with careful condiseration. Of
course it also requires your consistency in attitude
so that you can bring yourself properly. With your
physical apperance, and inclination to show your
beauty to others, then it is appropriate for you
women to have a safe way out, in order to escape
from the trial which has been warned off. O my
beloved daughter, surely! Dont you ever fall on the
way which only exploite your beauty and charm as a
means of evil to condemn you or even others to the
hellfire. To Allah we seek for protection!
______________________________________________ 21
At all accounts, your Lord is really care and always

protect you from evil of the world with rules He has
legislated. And He will never impose an obligation
beyond your ability to cope with.

That will be better, that they should be known (as
free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed.
And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful. (QS
Al-Ahzaab [33] : 59)
My righteous daughter!!
Covering aurah (part of body which should be

covered according to Islamic legislation) as
legislated by Allah The Exalted and Most High and
His Messenger is as important as other act of
worships such as praying, fasting or giving charity,
that if it is not fulfilled, then there will be big
consequences and sanctions. The command of Allah
The Exalted and Most High on Hijab is also
proceeded by words a believing woman. Indeed it
shows everyone how fundamental this obligation is,
for every Muslim woman like you.

And say to the believing women that they should
lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they
should not display their beauty and ornaments
except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof (QS
An-Nur [24] : 31)
Maybe if this beautiful legislation could be

implemented accordingly, no more abuse to be find
upon womanhood, including rape which often
happens within a society. Your religion has set rules
accordingly about covering in order to increase
rank and preserve dignity and chastity of believing
women. This legislation of Allah, The Exalted and
Most High, is indeed to place the satus of women in
noble position and not falling into mere
commodities which could be traded in a wide terms.
The legislation in turn will bring life harmony in
gaining success as a part of a family and society.
And you should also remember one thing that
covering is not a means to restrict any of your
potency and talent, for you can still carry on other
obligations such as seeking knowledge, enjoining
right and forbiding wrong, and obligatory to live
within society in good and lawful manner, as long as
they fall under the criteria and legislated rules.
______________________________________________ 23
True Friend and Social Relationship
Doing the obligation of covering (hijab), you have at

least put an initial and fundamental guard to start
entering in a more complex life. Indeed you dont
have to fight alone, for only with friends and good
environment, you could preserve the religious
values which you uphold so far. Dont ever stop
looking for a sincere friendship and good
environment for the safety of your religion and
chastity. Because no one can survive alone in the
middle of this fast wave of the changing time. You
still need a friend and a proper surrounding to
improve your quality and faith in the future.
Remember, not all people to be made as friends.
The Messenger of Allah has reminded us in this
regard by his pure tongue:
M g@ * ' 8 $ ) (

( 9 * @ 7 jp $
A man follows the religion of his friend, so each
one should consider whom he makes his friend.
(Related by Abu Dawud, no. 4833 and At-Tirmdzi)
And listen, O my daughter! That the best friendship

is the one that could benefit you in religion and life.
The Messenger of Allah himself has affirmed the
______________________________________________ 24
need of careful consideration in choosing a friend in

his saying:
\q K ? !G H

8 D?
Associate only with a believer, and let only a God-
feared man eat your meals. (Reported by Abu
Dawud no. 4873, and At-Tirmidzi, no. 2395).
It is possible; a good teenage girl like you could be

influenced by an evil friend. Indeed, such friend will
only bring you in dooming condition. In fact, it is
possible such social relationship finally will bring
misguided modern paradigms, such as being firm
in religion is old fashioned; veil (jilbab) is only
tradition and backward perspective; that modern
culture on the other hand are free mixing, excessive
self-exposure, showing beauty and body figures to
everyone while dismantle the clothes of piety (i.e.
hijab). That is! Without realising, slowly you feel
attracted to those sweet and logical arguments, and
follow it gradually. Not knowing that the new
culture is an accurate and planned trap from the
enemies of Allah to drag you into the valley of
misery. And finally you will regret it, but by that
time any remorse will be useless.

the Reminder (this Quran) after it had come to me.
And Shaitan (Satan) is ever a deserter to man in the
hour of need." (QS Al-Furqan [25] : 28-29)
Indeed, dont ever try to make friends with immoral

and ignorant person, unless you are in a stronger
position to advice and remind her. Because it is an
obligation for everyone trying the best he/she can to
teach good and prevent evil. And Allah has
guaranted that those who enjoining right and
forbiding wrong are among those who succeed.

Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting
to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Maroof (i.e.
Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to
do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and
disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is
______________________________________________ 26
they who are the successful. (QS Al-Imran [3] :

104)
In a society which no longer consider morality and

divine legislation as the basic principal, there is no
other way to gain salvation except striving hard to
streghthen the faith from inside. This is the most
important factor which determines success or
failure of your journey.
______________________________________________ 27
Patience and Steadfastness
Finally, the top of all effort and exertion are

patience and steadfastness. I really understand that
all kind of evil encircle now in your sorrounding
which you often could not avoid from. Classrooms
and colleges, public facilities and transportations,
and even in the corner of offices or factories, have
been filled by free mixing culture that has been
going on since long ago. This practice has been
considered as natural condition in society.
Indeed there will be times when you feel sad and

alone. But you do know, even The Messenger of
Allah , the pure man whose pray was always
accepted (by Allah) had experienced it. It is because
a test and trial will make you mature and wise in
leading your life. So be patient with it. Moreover,
dont stop asking for help and best solution from
each of your problem. Is it not that Allah Himself
says that:

O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-

(the patient ones, etc.). (QS al-Baqarah [2] : 153)
Surely Allah burdens not His slaves beyond his

capacity. Because only He who knows best of the
condition and strength of each of His creature. Of
course that each of good deed will face trials.
Therefore, when a heavy trial and calamity suddenly
fall in the middle of your effort in performing good
deeds, it is enough for you to think that Allah still
cares for you. Dont ever feel lonely! For such a trial
is also experienced by those who have high rank of
faith, wind blows harder on higher tree.

Do people think that they will be left alone because

There are many obstacles, cynical statements and

views from people against our action in favor of
goodness. A Muslim woman who willing to leave her
school, work, or her familiy in order to dress up
perfectly (i.e by islamic rule) is a real example of a
trial that we heard. Therefore, when never ending
trials come and go, dont be despair from the mercy
of Allah .

"O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yoosuf
(Joseph) and his brother, and never give up hope of
Allahs Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allahs
Mercy, except the people who disbelieve." (QS Yusuf
[12] : 87)

Migration
Migration (hijrah) simply means moving. Move

from an old place to a new one. Move from bad
sorrounding to a better one. Or move from
ignorance to a soul which filled with lights (of
guidance). My daughter, when you have done every
way but achieving no satisfactory result, then The
Messenger of Allah has given an example to do
migration.
My beloved daughter...!!
Migration in your life actually means your ability

and willingness to acquire condusive environment
for the improvement of your religion. It is when a
Muslim woman feels uncomfortable in her working
environment, or a student feels that the educational
surrounding and material she receives does not
bring her any good. Or when a mother worries
abour her child mental condition in the middle of
corrupting society. Patience and steadfastness
sometimes are not enough.
So as with you! When free mixing of social

relationship spreading in every corner, and on the
other hand you could not make any change, then the
best way for you is migration.

Whereas Allah will bestow mercy on those who

strive hard in faighting on His path with courage
and wisdom to gain His pleasure.

Verily, those who have believed, and those who have
emigrated (for Allahs Religion) and have striven
hard in the Way of Allah, all these hope for Allahs
Mercy. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
(QS Al-Baqarah [2] : 218)
O my daughter!!
There were many true stories of repentance and

guidance of converters (muallaf) where one process
they have to do is migration. By migrating, it does
not mean that we run away from problems. On the
other hand, we try to build our strength and come
back when the time comes.
In a simple meaning, migration is defined as an

effort to change attitudes, behaviours, clothes, and
way of thinking which previously tend to be free
without basic principles of Allah , into wiser and
more legislated. Previously, you wore the covering
______________________________________________ 32
but still showed certain part of your body, then it is

time to improve the quality of your dress perfectly.
Before now, you only interested on books or
magazines or other media which not benefited your
soul, then it is the time to open your mind and point
of view by start reading those which can improve
the quality of faith and Islam.
Furthermore, it is necessary to flourish your soul by

getting used to read, understand and listen to the
Quran recitation that could bring tranquillity and
composure to the soul. Likewise listening to Islamic
cassettes, VCD and DVD, for the role of audio media
will be very effective to ease the heart to achieve a
healthy state. Then this kind of thing can be
alternatives to fulfil the need. Nowadays there are
Islamic cassettes and VCDs from in or outside the
country. Nevertheless, we need to keep selective in
choosing it.

And the Selected One Propose You
The blessed love light

Covered with gift and pleasure of Him
This is the day
When the pure honey meet the honeybee
Guard and possess your fragrance in His
Name
Here comes the time!
O my beloved daughter, a man has come before me.

Honesty in his eyes and well spoken of his words
have tempted me to ask him. What do you want
from my daughter, O young man? And when he
says that he wants you as partner of his life, together
worship Him, I smile in relieve. And when he says
his desire to have righteous generation and little
fighters born from your pure womb, I cry happily
inside.
Indeed, after your difficult effort to survive in

prairie filled with wild grass, then it is time for a
selected man to take you by the hand. With your
pure enchanting fragrant, your elegance and honour
that youve preserved without blemish, have put you
in the position of a worthy woman to be chosen. But
______________________________________________ 34
one thing you have to remember that after the

blossom, the battle has not yet ceased. Marriage is a
turning point where your battle field changes. You
are no longer a girl. Your responsibility, attention
and struggle have increased; you should start
thinking about your own family, your children, and
your husband. My advice for you is to keep your
fragrance which you have guarded all the way.
Finally, may Allah The Exalted and Most High pours

His mercy and blessing on your wedding, your
family and all of your offspring in the future, hence
when the time comes, they could also lead their life
in their time on the path which has set by Allah The
Exalted and The Most High. Amien.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the universe.
