Sorry, this heart only opens for Allah Azzawajal & Parisa
As we begin...
I designed this to give you a little glimpse into
how cherished you are.
So i stitched this together,
one thread at a time.

Just for you.
Because: For you, The World 🌍
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ
"Our Lord! Bless us with pious spouses and offspring who will be the joy of our hearts
& the comfort to our eyes."

Surah Al-Furqan, 25:74

The sacred dua
That gave us "Us"

Click on each milestone to remember

THE DUA
The quiet request
Long before anything, I asked Allah for someone who would be my peace. Someone who would love me unconditionally.

I did not know it then, but I was already asking for you in a way I had no words for.

And He led my heart straight to you.
ISTIKHARA
The rain washing away doubt
And then I waited for His answer.

I felt the rain touch my hand, and I just knew with absolute certainty, the answer from my Lord.

YOU.

You were my answer to all the unspoken duas.
JUNE 13, 2025
The day we both said YES
One word, and that's all it took.
And the whole world rearranged.

Earlier, the inside of my chest felt like an old, parched, barren land, forgotten and left in the dark for so long that I had forgotten it even existed.
And then that day came
Light found its way in & slowly, life returned, as flowers found their way through the concrete of my bones.

Soon after, I began to feel parts of myself i didn’t even know existed. Little by little, everything inside my chest started to bloom.

& in that moment my heart called out
"It's you, I know you, i've been waiting for you, like the desert waits for the rain."
SEPTEMBER 22, 2025
The bond sealed
The day we made it official to the world as Fiancé and Fiancée.

There are rare, sacred moments when the universe goes entirely silent and time stands perfectly still.

For me, it was the day you became part of my story, as I smiled realising I get to spend the rest of my days by your side.

I looked at that picture of your beautiful smile beside mama and felt complete, undeniable certainty.

For it was my missing rib finally placed back in my chest.
MARCH 25, 2026
A birthday that finally mattered
I used to hate birthdays.
There was nothing to feel, never had a reason to celebrate.
Never felt love in them.
And then you came and gave me a reason to.

My birthday. For this time, it felt real, like it finally belonged to me.
APRIL 16, 2026
Your first birthday since "Us"
Celebrating the dawn of you.

Celebrating the day this world gained my missing rib.

And now I want not just one day for your birthday, but the rest of our life to feel like the world was made a little softer.
Just for you.

Some reasons my heart
smiles at you

Because you brought me the exact answer
to every unspoken dua I made.
Because now when I imagine home, my sanctuary, it is with you standing beside me.
Because after Istikhara it rained,
& I knew. I just knew.
Because just like you mentioned, how you let me in without realising. It was the same and that taught me that dropping my guard, unclenching my fists, and letting myself be loved by someone isn't weakness. It's how it was supposed to be.
& slowly my heart started to completely trust you.
Because I spent my life writing poems about someone I had not met yet.
& when I met you, every word made sense.
Because with you, my heart, my nervous system, my soul does not race, It rests
& that is how I know.

This is how my heart looks

Mateen & Parisa
A bond forged by Allah Azzawajal himself,
Long before the skies were raised, Long before the earth knew our names.
A divine decree for two names to be written side by side, in qadr, gently unfolding,
Until we were led back to each other.

Through the Noise

Wipe away the worldly noise
to reveal something.

Your voice, the sound of your smile, it feels familiar, like a full breath under deep water.
For you, You have the radiance of the shining sun in you,
but the sun,
The Sun doesn't have your smile, and your pomegranate lips. ❤️👄
Breathe.

There is one more piece to give.

For Parisa ❤️

Happy Birthday, Parisa ❤️

Today is a celebration of the woman who changed the entire trajectory of my life with nothing but the undeniable strength of her love and the most beautiful smile crafted by Allah SWT.

I built this space for you as a reminder of what we share, and a glimpse of what you mean to me.

From a person who never celebrated a birthday, today is a day of immense joy.

Because it marks your first birthday since our names got tied up in the heavens.

Your presence is a gift bringing me unparalleled happiness and colour that I never knew was there in the world.

I used to think carrying everything alone was what made a man strong.

But your presence, and somehow being near you, calmed my nervous system.

Your eyes and the beauty in your smile told me that true strength is in allowing yourself to be loved.

You are the love of my life, my home, and my priority.

I look at you, and I see resilience. Someone who carries a lot, yet moves through the world with a softness that never complains.

You smile like not a worry sits in your head, and you hold everyone together. You look like that free bird that flies without worries and fights all your battles silently.

And maybe the world only sees your light, but I see the quiet strength and grace behind it too ❤️

You have been doing so well. You have handled yourself so gracefully. You are so brave. Your heart is so beautiful, and I am ever so, so, so proud of you.

I really am.

You are worth every effort. 🌸

You are my Sakinah, the pure calm when life gets loud.
My Aafiyah, the wellness I guard fiercely.

The Mawaddah I harbour for you multiplies daily, anchored in a Rahmah so deep only Allah could have forged it.

I remember the rain following my Istikhara. I remember feeling that absolute certainty.

Realising I had found the woman I would protect and love, for the rest of my life.

May this year reward you with unwavering peace and comfort you pour into the world. May your smile always bloom. May Allah saturate every step of your life with barakah, health, happiness, unyielding light, aafiyah, sukoon and success in deen, duniya and aakhirah.

You are truly, madly, deeply and fiercely loved,
and you always will be.

P.S.

Always Remember.

No matter what, no matter how far this world tries to tire you, you always have a place in my heart.

That is your home.

A space that was carved gently within me by the Lord of the worlds. And i promise that i will always make sure to leave the lights on, for the place to be warm, waiting for you.

For what was built inside me does not fade.

Even when the whole world loses its warmth, there will always be a light burning for you.

For you, to come home ❤️

With all my love,
Yours entirely,
Mateen
