<p>In 2002, it was only 14 days from the point I knew my wife existed to the point I was proposing to her at her house with my parents.  (She &amp; her family accepted the proposal 2 days later <img src='http://deendriven.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>Often times, making quick decisions is attributed to to those who are impatient and don&#8217;t think things through.  When in actuality, it isn&#8217;t about how much time you give to the decision but what actions you are executing.</p>
<p>People are often delaying huge life decisions, and ignoring gigantic problems in their life for 20 &#8211; 30 years.  They think about it and push it under the rug.  They might talk to a friend about it but thats it.  They might pray for guidance but don&#8217;t take any steps themselves.  All these things lead to stagnation.</p>
<p>The <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>G.P.S.</strong></span> method will get you started in taking giant steps forward.</p>

<p>It seems like there are some people who are just thinking about taking off their hijab.  No one has created a step-by-step approach for it.  Here you go.</p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> Stop thinking it&#8217;s a big deal.  It&#8217;s  bad, but not that bad.  There are people who drink, you know! Let this idea simmer.</p>
<p><strong>2)</strong> Stop thinking about what others would say or think.  You aren&#8217;t suppose to do good deeds for other people&#8217;s sake, it&#8217;s suppose to be for Allah.</p>
<p><strong>3)</strong> *Critical step*  Find and stick to friends who have already took off their hijab.  They will give you their stories, why they did it and how it makes sense. Look how cool and trendy they are!  They&#8217;ll be the ones  who will provide you support after you take it off.</p>
