Once..long..long..long time ago, someone did mentioned to me,"Getting married is Prophet Muhammad's sunnah..Those who can afford a marriage is recommended to get married..Those who refused to get married is like defying Prophet Muhammad's sunnah..going against the Prophet himself..Such person shall not be claimed as one of Prophet Muhammad's followers.."
There I was wondering about this..I remember that those who can't afford a marriage are supposed to fast..Which is which..
This someone added,"You can afford a marriage..Don't claim that you can't afford it.."
Wow! She can read my mind..😁 😁 😁
Back to my deep thinking..I looked at myself..no hijab on..fine! That added more to accuse me of being Non-Muslim..So this came to my mind back then..
"If just bcoz I'm not married, Prophet Muhammad not accepting me as his followers, will Jesus Christ accept me?"
That's when I had a thought of going overseas, convert to other religion (which accept me being unmarried) & don't ever return to my Asian family ever again..bcoz I know that I will be shot dead for changing my religious faith..That's the same time someone told my mom that I was planning to run away with an American & get married in the States which made her cried..*I'm so angry with that someone..*
Still, I look around for answers until I saw something says,"Sometimes that someone is waiting for you to marry you in heaven so, surrender to God in prayers & work your way to enter God's heaven.."..
Haaaaaaaah..how???
When people said that being unmarried is easy life, I told them that they are wrong..It is not easy despite the fact YES! spinsters are not divorcees with kids..still, day in & day out, I have to face all kinds of judgments/discriminations from people around me who refused to understand..eventhough my singlehood so far has not intervene into other's happy life..
There are always those people who just CANNOT be happy for someone like me bcoz marriage is not my lifestyle & I don't know how my situation being a spinster is affecting their lives...
