You're such a tease! Throw me a friggin' bone, will ya??
8:09 PM
Ditto Abu Dhabi - we are soon going to be calling you a blog tease.
9:42 PM
Looks like a TEA protest is in order. C'mon Safa! This is starting to give me a rash!
10:39 PM
I have to agree with everyone else, after waiting for days, thats all we get?? Come one Safa, give it up girl, we want details!!!
7:13 AM
Well, that's one way to keep us coming back, lol!
I'm so happy for you! You deserve to be treated well and I hope this is everything it should be to you! Can't wait to hear more!
10:48 AM
That's great! I'm happy for you. I'm sure I don't have to tell you to be careful, after what you just went through. If this guy treats you like crap, you're going to have us all coming up there to pound his ass haha.
Is he Muslim? If you don't mind me asking and if you don't mind sharing that.
Hugs!

That is a beautiful feeling. . .

4:17 PM
Ya Safa, I cannot tell you how happy your post made me feel!!
Mabroooooooooooook.
And... hurry with the details; we're all dying here!
7:35 PM
Whoa the suspense is so thick in the last few posts!
Give it up!!!!
Masha'Allah I hope it is going well for you and you're ensuring this one certainly wont be like the last :D
Do your kids know? How are they taking it?
Would pay sweet money to see the look on ex's face when and if he finds out.. LMAO
7:22 AM

Alhumdullilah....And surely with hardship there comes ease....

Why does everyone assume it is a man? Maybe she made new friends with some woman and they have became best friends now. Who knows? But I will be honest my first thought is that is was a new potential soul mate too.
Anyhow I am happy for you sis. Either way whether you got a new soul mate or a new best friend. Its awesome to know you are happy.
6:48 AM
that's great, Safa. although i was hoping for a little more information, alhamdulillah, i'm happy for you :-)
11:01 AM
Hope things are going well for you!
12:48 PM
yay Safa! I'm sooo happy for you!!!!
You totally deserve to be taken care of. BUT (gotta add in the remidner im SURE yuv been telling yourself as well) be careful and don't hold your breathe.
PM..u don't care if he's Muslim?
c'mon guys. some of you make me wonder. I mean Allah says a believing woman is not to be with a disbelieving man, so we MUST care.
Period. KISS(keep it simple stupid lol ;-))

Afraid I throw in my hat with PM - as long as he treats Safa the way she deserves to be treated - that is what is the most important.
12:38 AM
Salaam Alaikum Burgundy/Naureen,
Yes, that is correct. I DON'T care if he is Muslim. I highly doubt his religious affiliation will change Safa's or her children's and I adhere to the Quran which tells us there is no compulsion in Islam.
Furthermore, I have experienced firsthand (and witnessed second hand) how abusive some Muslim men can be. I know all are not like that but it is clear that simply saying one is a Muslim isn't enough to make him a good husband and life partner.
That is what I wish for Safa: A decent man who will make a good life partner -- muslim or not.
Regards,
PM

PM: Your insights are very impressive. I am not Muslim, but am a woman from a religious family and can't tell you how many times they have asked if a man was of my same religion first, rather than asking about his character.
4:44 PM
Or maybe we can say that we hope he is the best Muslim, because that would cover everything, his faith and his character. they do exist out there. i think we just hear about the not-so-great guys more.
11:31 AM
PM, do you realize that your argument is not very sound?
the hadith (from islam) says religion and character. Not just religion and not just character.
So OBVIOUSLY someone being muslim isn't enough but it is a REQUIREMENT.
It says that thre is no compulsion in religion and you can't force anyone to be a muslim.
but it does say that you have to marry a muslim if you are a muslim woman.
There's plenty of MEN out there who are not msulim who are scum as well. so obviusly we agree on that.
its just funny to me how islam is saying hey dont ignore character but he has to be muslim. but we like to pick and choose and quote thigns out of context lol.
1:36 AM
Burdundy, it is HER choice if she wants to marry a Muslim. She can still have Muslim beliefs and marry a non-muslim. It is her choice. Would you prefer her with a muslim man who has treated her like her Hubex?
How he treats her is the MOST important thing, not his religion.
8:29 AM
What do you think Burgundy? You want people like Safa or me to leave Islam altogether? Why can't you just state your ideas and let it go without badgering me or anyone that doesn't agree with you? Wallah! This is the thing I hate about some Muslimahs and exactly what has made me question the choice I made to become a Muslim.
We are intelligent women and we can read, understand and evaluate for ourselves. Personally, if Safa were to marry a non-Muslim it wouldn't change one bit of the way I feel about her. If it changes the way you feel then that is your business. I'll be perfectly happy to stand in front of Allah on yom al-Qiyamah and explain myself.
Salaam Alaikum,
PM
PS: And let's not forget that Muslims are supposed to say salaams to each other, Burgundy.

I find it interesting how if someone like myself states anything from the mainstream theology of islam, people get very uptight and finicky and very very defensive and start personally attacking :-) and reading all SORTS of things into it.
Why in the world would i want safa or you (PM) to leave islam? lol Did I say anything close to that?
It seems you are coming from a very painful place when it comes to this issue so you are sort of having a converstion with yourself that I'm not really part of.
I think the only personal statement i made that you could have possibly labeled as 'badgering' is : "Do you realize that the argument you made is not very strong".
If someone thinks that's badgering, I think the issue just sparks some very deep emotions so they aren't able to have a mature conversation about it.
So I think let's be mature and agree to disagree respectfully.
Safa knows exactly how I feel towards her, so i'm not going to get into that.
And i apologize about the salams.
Assalam'alaykum :-)
often when i come on a blog to comment, i get excited about just typing up my thought and forget to say salam.
i know there's tons of really bad muslim guys out thre who don't know anything about treating women. and i also know that ther'es tons of really good guys out there. even though i sometimes get like ahhh and need space from my hubby lol, he's a very good man. and yes he's egyptian but not very cultural alhamdulillah.
i know the two things that factor into who he is: his faith and his upbringing. i see his brothers mash'allah who are also very very good, i think they have the character part down. but what distinguishes my husband in so many ways is his faith and practice of it. rain of shine, health or sickness, this man will get up to go to fajr prayer in the mosque. May Allah protect him.
and i feel yes for sure Allah has given us the choice to live the way we want. i personally SEE the benefit that my husband and my sister's husband for instance have brought into our lives and the lives of our families, because they are really very sincere in their deen and their understanding of it.
they are just plain decent guys.and to be honest, i feel like its REALLY hard for converts because when the wali isnt there, or you have a makeshift wali, sometimes the sister's welfare is simply not looked out for THE WAY IT SHOULD, so the result is that the sister ends up with SCUM. its as simple as that. and so the result is that many converts thinks: hey all muslim guys are scum.
and many muslim men think they can do whatever cuz hey its not like the convert sister has brothers who are gona come beat down on them.
thats why i hate cultural muslim men, cuz many have no friggin respect for women.
im starting to think this rant lol should go on my blog :-)
sorry safa!
Assalam'alaykum :-)
