La Segunda Parte: B-Being Life


Salaamu Äleykumu Warahmatullah,

Well some of you would certainly say that I'm not really sure about what I'mma write right now cause it's something related to the past so I can hardly remember what occured to let me get into this engagement.
No, no, no.. Ask every heedless after his guidance and he would just dive deep into the most banal details to tell you about his story. Feel like I'm being in a hostile world while writing this. Oh yea and I remeber the saying of our Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon; " Islam started stangely and it will go back to be strange, so good tidings for the strangers" Sahih MUSLIM, Book 001 Number 0270 What this hadeeth has to do here? -I'd ask myself- Perhaps cause I feel really strange after my commitment. Yeah true!

Well, I used to be that wise hard-working girl, loved by all the teachers.Very respectful in terms of conduct. Teachers used to tell me that I don't really enjoy my childhood as other kids or teenagers do. Therefore, my classmates used to call me Mummy and rush to me each time they got into troubles. However my thoughts were as stiff as a ramrod, my way of dressing wasn't proper regarding the islamic teachings. I used to wear tight jeans, short-short shirts (Um.. My tummy would be showing sometimes o_O), up to knees skirts.. Well I would be kind of an anorak going through all sorts of clothes I used to wear. Briefly saying -shape's showing- clothes. Oh yes, I used to go to the beach, swimming pools and so on..

You'd ask me why they dare wearing a swiming costume on the beach and cover up in other places. Aren't beaches, swimming pools public places as well?

Listen, this is something that most of you don't know about the heedless girls; to their minds swimming pools, beaches or whatever are places where people can take their clothes off and put on beachwears..

Well happened to me as well, believe it or not, this is the case of the all these girls. It's all about education, they have been raised this way, I have been raised in the same way. Never heard from my parents "It's not okay in Islam to wear kinda clothes" or well without mentioning religious issues, they would at least say "You shouldn't wear these clothes they are too showing".. The sense of open-mindedness takes a different aspect for them..

You'd find it so contradictory if I tell you that they were teasing me for each cloth I used to wear in elsewhere than beach or swimming pool; this is showing.. this is tight.. this is short.. they used to do it even at home :S ! And it's okay out on the beach where everybody can see you.. ODD ain't it?!

I was a carefree girl, diving into the world of music. Music was my life, I used to play piano and guitar. I used to spend hours learning scores and tabs. Until the time I ...

Sigue sigue..

Oumay said...

Oh yes Mahmoud! Got you! See Im a good guesser! Could never forget your writing style :)

Hm yes, I was already into islam commitment at that time, didn't you notice my pretty long veil? Anyways, true that I wasnt fully engaged, that just was the start though :)
Oh Rocío in María´s class..

Oumay said...

Salámu Allahi alayka Abubar!
Jazaka Allahu kayran I appreciate it so much!
I must be so grateful to Dad after Allah´s bestowing on me.. Well he was the one who used to tell me that only an illiterate person who speaks two languages.. And that was a big push to me to learn more languages and have a crash on´em alhamdulillah :)

Oumay said...

Síí lo siento no he olvidado el resto es que no tengo más gana de escribir.. Estoy de psychología y mytología esos días :)
Pero será muy pronto Insha´Allah!

Yes true Amatullah, something that most people if not all misled in explaining it!
Allah´s guidance doesn´t mean becoming pious and so on but as ALLAH s.w.t says in Surah Al-balad if I may not be wrong "Wa hadaynahu ´najdayn"!
Here is the best explicit shape of the word guidance..
Guidance means seeing both ways good and bad, then using the reason Allah granted you to choose the right way! This is guidance :)
Fi Amani ALLAH sister and brother AbuBakr :)
