My Experience
Habibo Adan Mohamed
I learned something important about myself when I first married my husband. First, when we got married, I didn’t know what to expect. Then the first night I realized I was a smart girl. I went to the store, and I bought some fruits, vegetables, spaghetti, milk, sugar, and I prepared a good dinner. My husband and I enjoyed the dinner, and we had a good conversation during the dinner. Before I thought marriage was difficult, but when I got married it was easy for me. Because I saw a lot of families fighting, I thought a marriage would be difficult. My God gave me a good husband.That made our family happy.
After we got married one year, we had our first daughter. During pregnancy, I used to think about what it means to be a mother. I used to worry about delivering a baby because delivering a baby is painful. I bought some clothes and cream for my daughter. My daughter’s name is Aisha. When she was two months old I got a second pregnancy. I had more experience, but I sometimes was confused with what my children might need. When my children cried, I didn’t know what they needed. Sometimes they wanted to sleep, but I breastfed. Then I started to learn the Quran, and I managed my time wisely. I also understood what my children needed. Before I started the Quran, I didn’t know how to manage my time wisely. The Quran has blessings, and brings happiness. For example, if I am angry with my children, husband, and other people, I read the Quran no more angry. The Quran is helpful for me. I sometimes cleaned my house, cooked three times a day, washed clothes everyday, and read the Quran everyday. When I finished everything, it made me happy.
When I was in my fifth pregnancy, I finished the whole Quran. Then my family became a big family, and we have six children. The entire family became eight people. When I finished the Quran, I prepared how to learn the meaning of the Quran. I started to learn the meaning of the Quran, when my children started to go school and the Madrasa. I had more experience, because my children needed more help from me. I woke up at 4:00am, and I read the Quran. I cooked breakfast for my children and I prepared their clothes and shoes. That time my husband didn’t live with us, but he lived in the United States. It was difficult at that time because olny I took care of all our children. I tried my best to be a good mother, and I covered my husband’s side. When I learned half way the meaning of the Quran, I started to teach other people, and right now I am teaching other people. I am proud of my life because I have used my time in a different way. I was a hard worker because I learned, and my children learned too.
In summary, we got married, and we understood each other. I prepared a good dinner and conversation. Second, after one year we had our first child. We had more experience together, and we had more love. Third, after two months, I got a second pregnancy. Then I started to learn the Quran, and after many years I finished the Quran. My family became a big family, and we are a happy family. I learned the meaning of the Quran. When I learned half way, I was teaching other people. As I taught the Quran to people, I became a famous teacher.The Quran is helpful to me.That time my husband didn’t live with us, but right now we live together. We are happy. Finally, I am proud of my life because I have used my time in different ways.
