Ever heard of this quote?

My mum taught me this since I was a little girl, especially since I am known for my viper tongue.

So, here I am, aged 20. And I have learnt this moral value.

But, apparently, there are a lot of people out there, who hasn’t.

I get some ‘haters’ comments on my instagram. And a lot more in the real world.

But what gets to me, is that woman in their 30s are these ‘haters’.

Someone commented on my photo, which was posted a few weeks back. Obviously she scrolled down on my instaprofile *cough*stalker*cough* Then she said that my style is horrible and bla bla bla...don’t really care.

What I do care is that she is in her 30s and she’s commenting hate comments. I really thought that only teenagers do that. Honestly. And all I could say when I saw her comment was, “Grow up.”

Next story:

A 30 year old, tells her colleague that she thinks that my marriage is a joke because we are (in her opinion) too young and too immature.

And her colleague is my friend’s mother. That’s how I heard about it.

Honey, The Husband and I may be young. And definitely immature. But you’ve got the wrong idea about marriage. You don’t become mature just to get married. You mature in time. And, news for you, marriage matures you. If you wait for you to be wise enough to get married, you’ll never be married, because you learn so much from the marriage itself. You grow with the marriage. With each other.

And I know you were at my solemnization in which the Tok Kadi had advised all men to marry their sons and daughters young. With marriage, you complete half your deen.

The hadith states:

Narrated by Anas ibn Malik: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said, “Whomever Allah blesses with a righteous wife, He has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allah with regard to the other half.”

**If you’re wondering of the authenticity of the hadeeth:

Al-Albaani, in Saheeh-al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheed (1916), “They are hasan li ghayrihi”

And that’s it.

30 years old women, and what they say of me.
