“I reverted to Islam a few years ago, Alhamdulillah. But with the holidays coming up, I’m struggling. I’ve been invited to visit my family this winter, and they’re Christian, so Christmas is a big deal. I love my family dearly, and some of my happiest childhood memories are tied to Christmas—decorating, carols, the festive markets.

Here’s my dilemma: I don’t want to join the celebrations, but the thought of not being there breaks my heart. At the same time, being in that environment makes me miss those moments deeply, and I feel guilty for it. Even hearing the songs in the mall stirs up memories, and I find myself feeling conflicted and lost.

I’m thinking of spending Christmas Eve with a Muslim friend instead, but I know that might hurt my family. How do I balance my love for them with my commitment to Islam?”

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the perfect example of an ideal husband. He was loving, kind, humble, merciful, compassionate, loyal, trustworthy, and generous. Muslim women should look for these qualities in a spouse.

For men, the Prophet advised to marry for religion over wealth, status, or beauty. Here are four qualities to consider in a partner:

Kindness: True love is built on kindness and giving. Look for a partner who shows care and compassion to others, and who gives without expecting anything in return.

Common Goals: Ensure you share the same values, dreams, and aspirations. Discuss important issues early in the relationship, like raising children and lifestyle choices, to ensure compatibility.

Appreciate the Whole Person: Recognize and accept the imperfections in your partner. Focus on having a deep and meaningful connection rather than expecting perfection.

Physical Appearance: While attraction is important, it should not be the main focus. Compatibility, care, and mutual respect are what truly sustain a relationship.

Remember, no one is perfect. The key to a successful marriage is humility, compromise, and accepting each other’s flaws. Aim for a "good enough" relationship rather than an unrealistic ideal of perfection.

Get to know the man behind a pivotal chapter in Syria's history:

1. **Leader of the Revolution**: Abu Mohammed al-Golani, born Ahmad al-Sharaa, rose to prominence as a key figure in Syria's revolution

2. **Founder of the Nusra Front**: He established the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida affiliate, which became a major force in the conflict.

3. **Breaking Ties with Al-Qaida**: In 2016, he severed ties with al-Qaida and rebranded his group as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), presenting a more localized agenda.

4. **Toppling Assad's Regime**: Under his leadership, the revolutionary forces successfully captured Damascus, leading to the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on Dec 8, 2024.

5. **Controversial Figure**: While seen as a revolutionary leader by some, the U.S. still lists him as a terrorist, with a $10 million bounty on his head.

6. **Post-Assad Governance**: Al-Golani appointed former Prime Minister Mohammed Jalali to oversee state institutions during the transition period, aiming to stabilize the nation.

7. **Rebranding His Image**: From militant leader to a self-proclaimed champion of pluralism, al-Golani is working to reshape his public image.

**Abu Mohammed al-Golani remains a complex and polarizing figure, embodying both the hope and challenges of Syria's post-Assad future.**
