Story of a young Submitter from Down Under

Cont'd from page 3

I can’t wait to be united with my soulmate, and only God knows when. God ensures us that you will no longer be lonely, that it does not matter what happens if there’s the two of you who worship God alone and follow the Quran. I don’t know what’s going to happen, because I know you need parental approval for marriage. But I don’t know what I’m going to do...

Coming from a Pakistani background, marriages are usually arranged, and we are going to Pakistan next year, and I would have also finished school by the end of the year when we go. I know my Mum will most likely start looking for good families for marriage, of course, it’s not forced or anything, I do have choice in agreeing to it or not...I want to get married. It’s a beautiful bond between a man and woman, but I seriously have no idea what’s going to happen. I don’t have any expectations for that man, my only rule, according to what God has prescribed to us, is that he must worship God alone, I cannot marry an idol worshipper.

But I trust God, I have faith in God, and most importantly, I know God is in control of everything, and I pray and know that God knows best when that time will come, but I just hope it does not take long. I trust God, He knows who’s perfect for me, as impossible as it may seem to me right now. God already knows who my soulmate is, it’s just a matter of time before I’m united with him...

Wow...I really cannot thank God enough for guiding me to the right path, for clearing up so many issues in this world, for letting me believe in the amazing mathematical miracle and accepting the messenger of covenant. When you study the Quran, everything in this world makes sense, has a purpose, a beginning and an end. In school some of the subjects I study are modern history, ancient history, art and biology...I feel so happy studying them, especially history and biology because I somehow relate it back to what God has mentioned in the Quran, it’s so refreshing.

I could say so much more but I think I’ve written enough already...It felt great to get all that off my chest. May God bless you for your efforts, and Inshallah (God willing), in the future I shall be taking part in the annual conferences, where my real family will be...

[6:102] Such is GOD your Lord, there is no god except He, the Creator of all things. You shall worship Him alone. He is in control of all things.
