Top 10 reasons why being a single Muslim sucks:
10. People trying to set you up with the weirdo who doesn’t speak English or the guy with 5 1/2 kids looking for a second wife. (And then they call you picky!)
9. Can’t get the family rate at ICNA. (or ISNA or MAS or the subway)
8. You’re never invited to those married couple parties. (Did you know they have their own secret social world, single muggles not allowed.)
7. Attending those ‘singles lectures on marriage’ where they talk about the same ole stuff except real ways of getting us married! (Or they lecture us on why we should just accept our parents choice.)
6. Realizing your kids by the time (if) u have any will be too young to match-make with your friend’s kids.
5. Pervert guys who think you’re now desperate enough to consider them. (a la Mr. Collins)
4. Meeting long lost old friends who immediately ask, ‘Are you married!? How many kids do you have!?’. (No and no.)
3. Your mom reminds you that at your age she was already married with 3 kids! (Yes, I wish I was a child bride too.)
2. Muslim matrimonials. (Need we say more?)
and……………..
number….
1. Every auntie at every wedding, engagement or aqeeqah saying, ‘You’re next!!’. (Do single people look pregnant or something? 
)

Being a single is given. Nothing wrong is being a single. Just do for faith to ALLAH. If HE gives us “someone”, it means our turn to live in marriage. If not, just do our best.

With regards to #1, I will bring up a joke.
There was a person whom every aunty would approach during marriage functions and say “your next!”, and it would just frustrate that person so much that he decided to get revenge. How’d he do it?
Well whenever there was a janazah in the khandaan(family), he would go up to these SAME old aunties and say “your next!”.
haha, im sure you guys know this one but for those who don’t, enjoy and share!
