Guy I’m dating ain’t letting me have non-halal food?!
So I met him in 2014 when I was 20 and he was about 25-26. I didn’t like him but he was actively chasing me so I would just tag along and have coffee/foods with him.
He ended up marrying somebody else and got divorced in 2019…
I searched him up 7 years later, and we had our reunion after 7 years last week.
I had a work break and he said I should get in his car to say “hello”
As I was hungry, I wanted McDonald’s drive thru. He refused. I told him i can eat whatever i want but he REFUSED. So ended up eating at chaiiwala
We had a lil date a few days ago. We didn’t book anything and we saw a Franco Manca in front of us.
He said it’s “haram” so we had to walk elsewhere to find another place.
Bloody hell he hates these franchise restaurants
He prefers Islamic/halal or Turkish food.
Anyway - what gives him the right to refuse what I want to eat?
I already know we aren’t compatible
Self-Value, Self-Care, and Living with Faith Lead to a More Fulfilling Life
When a person values themselves, it changes how they are treated and how they move through life. Self-value is not about arrogance, but about recognizing your worth, setting boundaries, and not accepting treatment that causes harm or disrespect.
Self-care is part of that foundation. Taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing helps you stay grounded and strong. It also helps you make clearer decisions, instead of reacting from exhaustion or pressure.
In relationships, people often respond to how someone carries themselves. When a person respects themselves, they are more likely to attract healthier dynamics, because they are less likely to accept mistreatment or lose themselves in others’ expectations.
For many people, faith also plays an important role in finding meaning and stability. Walking with God can provide guidance, comfort, and a sense of purpose, especially during difficult or uncertain times. It can help a person stay steady and not lose direction when life becomes overwhelming.
A fulfilling life is usually built from these combined foundations: self-respect, care for oneself, and a sense of spiritual or moral grounding.
I met a man through the app and was genuinely attracted to him. Over time, I discovered that he had lied about several things from the very beginning, including his name and his age. What bothered me most was not even the age itself, but the fact that he deliberately made himself younger.
I understand that some people use fake names online at first, especially when they're unsure whether others are serious. The initial lies are not really what I'm struggling with anymore.
What I cannot understand is this: he is now talking seriously about marriage and a future together, yet he still has not told me his real name or admitted any of the lies. The only reason I know the truth is because I figured it out myself.
Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a play. He speaks about commitment and marriage as if everything is completely normal, while continuing to hide who he really is.
So I have a genuine question, especially for men: if you develop real feelings for someone and want to marry them, why would you continue hiding your real identity instead of coming clean? What goes through a person's mind in that situation?
I'm honestly curious to hear different perspectives.
You cannot simply pretend that the things you see, the things you hear, and the places you go have no impact on your character!!!
Ya Allah, remove our worries and anxiety about marriage, and grant us what is best for us

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
I am a Sunni Muslim from the Baloch ethnic group, with Iranian and Pakistani roots. I am a calm, kind, well-mannered, and respectful person. I value honesty, mutual respect, and understanding in dealing with others. I always try to understand people's circumstances and difficulties and treat them with patience, kindness, and respect.
I spent most of my life studying in Islamic schools, where I learned Islamic sciences, the Holy Quran, and Hadith. I also had the opportunity to study and attend classes at Masjid an-Nabawi. In addition to my Islamic education, I completed 12 years of formal government schooling.
I currently live and work in Saudi Arabia. I am hardworking, responsible, and dedicated, and I believe that a successful life is built on faith, respect, honesty, mutual understanding, and cooperation.
I am looking for a well-mannered, understanding, and family-oriented wife so that together we can build a peaceful, respectful, and loving life filled with trust and mutual understanding.
Wassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
What Happens on the Day of Judgment in Islam
The Resurrection of All People
On the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah), all human beings are resurrected from their graves and brought back to life by Allah. Every person from the beginning of creation is gathered for accountability.
The Gathering of Humanity
All people are assembled in one place for judgment. The Qur’an describes this as a day where no one is hidden and everyone stands equal before Allah, regardless of status, wealth, or power.
The Presentation of Deeds
Each person’s life record is presented. In Islamic belief, two angels have recorded every action a person has done in life, both good and bad, in a detailed record.
The Book of Deeds
Every individual receives their personal record, called the Book of Deeds. Some receive it in their right hand, which is associated with success, and others in their left hand or behind their back, which is associated with loss.
Perfect Justice Without Injustice
Allah judges every person with complete justice. Even the smallest deeds, whether good or bad, are accounted for, and nothing is overlooked or forgotten.
Weighing of Actions
Deeds are weighed on a scale (Mizan). Good deeds are placed against bad deeds, and the outcome reflects a person’s moral and spiritual life.
Witnessing of Body Parts
In some descriptions, a person’s own body parts may testify about what they did in life. This emphasizes that no denial is possible on that day.
Intercession by Prophets (By Permission of Allah)
Certain prophets, especially Prophet Muhammad, are believed to intercede for believers by Allah’s permission, asking for mercy for some people.
Crossing the Bridge (Sirat)
After judgment, people cross a bridge called the Sirat, which is described as being thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword. It leads over Hell toward Paradise.
Final Outcome: Paradise or Hell
The final destination is either Paradise (Jannah) or Hell (Jahannam), based on Allah’s judgment and mercy. Paradise is described as eternal reward, while Hell is described as punishment for wrongdoing.
Conclusion
The Day of Judgment in Islam is a complete accounting of every life, where absolute justice is established and every person receives the outcome of their deeds.
Remember when we all thought we would be married by 25 and have a house by 30 😂.
