Editor’s Letter
ALL ABOUTNIKAH!
This issue has been a long journey for me. I found writing the articles, researching and speaking with people about the topic of nikah very interesting. I am not mar-ried yet so I learned a great deal of valuable information during the making of this issue. From issues such as polygamy to how men feel about women who wear make-up, I hope you all can benefit from reading these articles whether you are married, single or parents in-sha-Allah.
I am really thankful for all the help and support I have gotten throughout the month. All the encouragement messages, suggestions and comments have been very helpful and keep me going each day. Jazak’Allah to you all and I pray that Allah swt blesses each and every one of you.
Don’t forget to share the issue with all your friends and family so we can spread the beauty of the Muslimah Lifestyle and remember that we want to hear from you! Send us your suggestions, comments and/or stories; we want to hear them all. You can also follow us on social networks and keep in contact with us between issues.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Jazakillah khayrun for a beautiful magazine mashaAllah. I do have a sug-gestion; I would appreciate it if you could do a segment on polygamy. Most of the sisters in the west struggle with this one. Thank you for reading my sug-gestion and hope it can be covered in Hayati Magazine InshaAllah.
Fi amanillah
