"Would you choose an accomplished man over one who is not?"
D'oh, any girl in their right mind would answer absolutely! Who wouldn't? But ah, if only life were that simple. You see, this is not a matter of answering yes or no. There is never only one side to a story. With every answer you give (be it in life or in your final written exam) comes another question, and another, and another.
"What if you were already engaged to another man?"
(If i had agreed to an engagement, chances are I've already fallen for him so hard there's no issue of me changing heart)
"What if he has nothing at all to offer?"
(Materially? No big deal, we'll work our way up together)
"What if someone better came along?"
(Better in what way? Be more specific please.)
What if? what if? what if?.....
Granted, answering to hypothetical questions is easy, because your answers bear no weight to your life at present. You could say anything noble and idealistic and you'd ace the exam. The tough part is having to actually answer these questions in reality, head on, where the answers you give affects your life one way or the other.
I know. Not as easy, eh?
I thought so too. At first. But then today during usrah, I came across this:
"And marry those among you who are single (i.e a man who has no wife and woman who has no husband) and (also marry) the Salihun (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves). If they be poor, Allah will enrich them out of His Bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing (about the state of his people)."(An-Nur 24:32)
There you go. That answers the first part of the question: Accomplished or otherwise is but a small matter, for Allah will provide (It's really comforting finding answers in the Qur'an and As-Sunnah, right?). And as for the rest of those question, as long as his heart and Iman is strong and healthy, I'll be more than contented to follow his lead.
"Put your faith in Allah, for He is the best of planners."
I believe. Do you?
