Our Wedding

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِIn the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Samina and Faraz grew up in Georgia, living parallel lives that almost seemed destined to intersect—but didn’t. Despite growing up in the same community, attending the same masjid, and even studying at neighboring universities in Atlanta, they somehow never met. They shared mutual friends, prayed in the same spaces, and even attended the same weddings, but it wasn’t until this year that their paths finally crossed. Both Samina and Faraz were on personal journeys, focused on becoming the best versions of themselves. They were dedicated to their careers, their mental and spiritual growth, and their relationships with family and friends. One thing they both valued deeply was the people around them—their loved ones and the communities they were part of. They shared a passion for making those they cared about feel appreciated and connected. In addition to that, Samina and Faraz both found joy in food and exploring different flavors. Whether it was experimenting with recipes in the kitchen or finding new places to eat, they each had a deep appreciation for the way food brings people together. Little did they know, their future partner shared these same loves and values. In a beautiful twist of fate, Samina and Faraz were praying at the same masjid one day, asking Allah for the perfect partner, completely unaware that they were standing just a few feet apart. A month later, their prayers were answered, and they finally met. It was as though they had always known each other. Their shared love for food, community, and faith instantly connected them, and their conversations flowed effortlessly. The more they got to know each together, the more they realized how naturally they fit into each other’s lives. They shared a deep understanding, a sense of comfort, and a common passion for nurturing the people they love. It didn’t take long for them to know they had found something special—what they had both been waiting and praying for. And so, after a long journey filled with growth, faith, and (of course) delicious meals, they are ready to start the next chapter of their lives together, surrounded by the people they love, inshaAllah. Please keep Samina and Faraz in your prayers as they begin their lives together.

Wait, Pray, Love:           Our Journey to Forever
