Our Story

The First Encounter
August 26th, 2022

The First Encounter...

It was a calm evening. UmarFarouq had gone to visit a friend at a pharmacy, with no idea that the evening would turn out to be a memorable one. That was where he met Fatima, who was doing her internship at the pharmacy. Funny enough, he had on a fragrance that evening, one good enough to fill the pharmacy. As fate would have it, Fatima was a fellow fraghead, and the scent caught her attention. But while his fragrance had caught her attention, her beautiful face and infectious smile had already caught his.

"Will you be my peace?"

He knew instantly she was to keep, so he made the bold move... And sent a risky email.
Will you be my peace?
"Yes I will!"

"Yes I will!"

She responded emphathically...

Toward Forever

Toward Forever
Now, surrounded by the prayers of our parents, the laughter of lifelong friends, and the grace of the Most High, we step into marriage. Every chapter before this was merely the prelude.

To everyone traveling near and far to celebrate with us: your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for. Here is to a lifetime of shared mornings, unhurried conversations, and building a sanctuary of peace together InshaAllah!
