17th Ramadan (Wed) - Pure Matrimony

Suhoor - Cheese burger for me and chicken burger and chai for husband. Almonds, dates, and pears.
Iftaar - Dates, water then did Maghrib prayers. Continued with sweetcorn, mixed veg pakoray, walnut cake, fruit chat, cheesy garlic toast and milk for me and chai for jaanu.
Dinner - White rice with scrambled egg and mushroom curry.

I made an account for my sister in law on Pure Matrimony website and they can be very strict. After two days, they suspended the account under the grounds (maybe) that one of the attributes I've put in: 'sometimes pray' and from the photos they take that she did not observe proper hijaab. Eventually when i scrutinised it properly i found out that this match making website is only (ONLY) for Muslims who take their religion seriously in every sense, from clothes to words and deeds. So that is probably why the account got suspended.
Then I was thinking about myself, do I consider myself a practicing Muslimah? Do I pray always? Do i observe proper hijab? Alhamdulillah and InshaAllah may Allah always guide me and other muslims. Now I come to realise a stark difference between me and my in laws. And I also think that such a website can be somewhat exclusive and I suppose that is the only way for some very religiously educated men and women may be able to find their compatible match.

Allahuallam.
