...In the Name of ALLAH...
In creating a relationship, who should make the first move? Guys...or girls? It's a norm to see guys to initiate, but quite uncommon to see girls. Orang Melayu kata, eish perigi mencari timba...malu! But, it shouldn't be an embarrassment for a woman to take the first step for a good future with a promising partner.
I stumbled upon an article in facebook discussing this topic few days ago. Unfortunately I forgot the link :-( But I'm sure the story of Khadija bint Khuwaylid, the beloved wife of Prophet Rasulullah s.a.w., is known by most. She proposed to Muhammad s.a.w. regardless their age difference by 15 years. From the information from her maid, she was mesmerized to learn his good nature and values in doing business and how well he carried himself. He is indeed the most perfect human being ever created. Not for long, she didn't let the chance slip away and quickly made the proposal be known to Muhammad s.a.w. And we know the rest of the story, right? ;-)
If one of the greatest women in the history of Islam had proved that a woman could make the first move, why should now we hesitate? It's not shameful, nor it's something against the religion. Adat pun adat lah, as long as we can grab the opportunity of having the best life partner, gather the courage and tell him/her quick!
I hope I won't hesitate anymore, and my first step would lead to a deeper, meaningful and blessed relationship, Ameen...
