As I was googling this mysterious concept, I came across this blog:

She mentioned at the bottom line, only Allah knows your jodoh and whether you are with that person on earth or not but you are married. Again, only Allah knows.
This excerpt in the movie Ayat-Ayat Cinta is so powerful on the context of jodoh especially when Aishah said to Fahri," Jodoh itu rahsia Allah."
Those words just humbled me. Really humbled me to a consecrating position physically, emotionally and mentally. A position where I have neither right to demand nor own anything in this world. Everything is on loan and falls under the concept of 'rezeki'. Rezeki comes and goes just like the tides but the essence of rezeki is always there just like water, its only a matter of less or more. That is also on loan cause Allah may dry up all the water in the world and you have nothing left except for Allah. I used to share this saying to someone who dreamt about being rich; if you do not remember Allah in times like this, what makes you think that you will remember Allah in times of wealth and in times of poverty? He replied, " Akak, why are you bursting my bubbles?"
I really think people of great iman is someone who remembers Allah and still lead a life truthfully as a Muslim when he or she is blessed with wealth or tested with poverty. It will be my greatest gift to meet such people and to have an iman like them, will be a true blessing from Allah in this life.
Soon, it is going to mark my 6th year anniversary where I think my husband and I should pray together at night to thank Allah for this rezeki blessed upon us. I hope he is my jodoh but again, i can only hope or I should not hope but just 'redha' cause I am suppose to do my duty as a Muslimah in this world. I pray that Allah will make him a good Muslim because at least, if he is not my jodoh, he is a good servant of Allah.
This concept of 'jodoh' is not easy to comprehend and even if you do understand, do you embrace it? Or do you really understand that the concept of jodoh is leading you to the meaning of Islam? With this understanding, though it is bitter, I have to swallow the concept of polygamy since Rezeki is not mine alone but when Allah wants my Rezeki to be shared, Allah will test my faith. However Allah, please do not burden my Rezeki with things beyond his capability because if You do, for the sake of love and in my pursuit of being a true Muslim; a sincere servant of Yours, I will make the sacrifice and redha atas segala pemberian-Mu, Ya Allah.
