STRIVING & ADAPTING

The hardest thing for me on this journey towards being a better Muslimah is finding out new things about Islam, the requirements of the Sunnah, and knowing I have to abide by them.

Ignorance can be bliss but not when it comes to matters of the Deen. 

I can be a Diva sometimes, and I  enjoy my Diva moments. 

I love getting my lashes and nails done, there is this extra pazazz a hybrid cat eye set gives your face, and makes you look fabulous. My stiletto acrylic set is always like talons, and I love every centimeter. 

I have SPMU brows and multiple piercings ( 18 ), a year ago I found out it's not permissible to pierce anywhere in the body asides from the ears and "nose" (this however is controversial ).

Four of my piercings do not fall into that category. 

Back to my brows, SPMU for those who don't know is semi-permanent brows, microblading, and the lot,  I also found out they are not permissible a few weeks after I got my touch-up. Simply told me not to go near it again. 

With nails, I switched to getting my acrylic set done as stick-on where I can easily pop them off or use them when I'm off Solat. Took me ages to do this as I simply told myself Allah answer my prayers, when  I prayed with nails I was in denial.

Then  I clocked for wudu to be valid, water has to touch the bed of my nails, acrylic nails prevented it, I still went ahead, as per hot babe. 

I know the excuse above is a very silly one, there are an uncountable amount of people living in sin, huge sins and they are enjoying the spoils of the world, they get everything they want, need, and more but that is for the Dunya. 

We have to account for every single we did, good and bad. 

I devised a plan to get away with my lashes as the sharp babe I am. A smart plan... hear me out. 

Get my lashes done the day I get on my reds, 5-6 days before I need to do ghusl, the lashes will lift a little and water will touch my natural lashes. 

I was talking to a friend about this plan with so much vim, feeling proud and funky .... until he pointed out it's not about wudu, it's not permissible as it falls into the same category as shaping brows and several things that are frowned up for women in Islam. 

How can I make such a mistake ??? How ?? How can I do such ?? 

That means my stick-ons need to go.

I'm typing this with my eyes rolling under full hybrid cat eyes 10-16mm set.

And what is the moral of this story? 

He who seeks knowledge must abide by it. 

This will be my last lash set bi ithnillah, and I won't be ordering any more nail sets. 

I will be very upset if my nails and lashes tip the scale on the day of Qiyamah, and I miss out on the goodness of Jannah, my eternal husband, the garden of bliss, with the springs flowing free ; the rich carpets of beauty.
