Wow, Umer! You seem to have stolen my mental "to-do" list! [Of course I would convert the "to marry a devout woman" part to "to marry a devout man (which inshaAllah I soon will!)" and "to become a devout woman!"] :D
Excellent! I love dreading through it! I hope it serves as a reminder for everyone who comes across it! In words of Ghalib:
"dekhna taqriir ki lazzat ke jo us ne kaha
me~ ne ye jaana ke goya ye bhi mere dil me~ tha"
Good luck with all your endeavours!
:D Hahaha! JazakAllah for the prayer, i pray same for you.
Yeah i believe with little modifications of professions, many many young muslims would have the to-do list with much more items, i guess !
Masha Allah for both of your. :)
@hassan, jazakAllah
