Our Armenian friend always comparing human beings to animals. First it was feminist were cockroaches then it was me to a dog. You would think someone whose people suffered a genocide would realize the danger in dehumanizing people but then again white men will act white. And yes I did tell him his hair was like a poodle cut and call him a rat in response! Stay triggered! @Habibi_Tony
It’s okay to feel happy when someone says hi and a warm conversation begins, it shows our heart is still open. But we stay rooted in our values and what Allah gently whispers to us. True connection honors the soul, not just the moment.
What makes someone unforgettable?
a) The way they make you feel
b) The things they say
c) The way they remember you
Mine: A
Some men's logic: If a woman choosed to be unmarried in her late twenties because she didn't actively look for a husband, she is single because she wants to 'cope' with the fact that she could not find someone she vibes with , even if she didn't have too many requirements. And she is terribly unhappy that she failed to find someone mutual. Even if she chose to not marry someone she doesn't like and ruin two people's lives. Did anyone asks her whether she regrets her decision to not marry? There are women who are ten times more successful in life than a man, single and happy. Why should I risk my health to give birth to a child whose dad I don't like? I never wanted kids and I will never do it for someone I don't like. I will have kids with someone is mutual with me. So I will test my luck in finding a man who I vibe with. But my life is good even without mr. Right. My mr.right might not be written for me in lawhul mahfooz. That doesn't mean my lord didn't secure my future.
But if a man in his late or mid thirties chose to be single, it's not because he has too many requirements. Not because he is trying to 'cope' with not finding his dream woman who is suitable for him. Sure , now he is successful in life, attracts women easily . And the woman in late twenties, her options are low . So what? Married women have their share of happiness and sadness, stress. I chose not to bring that stress for someone I'm not attracted to. A right which Islam gave me.
Damn I’m really sick of the way people just ghost you on here, even when things are going amazing, they just leave a big long message and then dissapear on you, like why can’t people just communicate and have a conversation before walking away, how are people ever gonna get married at this rate 🤦🏽♂️
Is jamaa a poison?
Is it less jamaa, as a community? And more a cacophony of online opinions and random thoughts people have planting seeds of discord instead of discourse?
Is there a lack of moderation 'keeping things halal'
In islam, jama'a is a congregation of muslims, often used to describe salaa performed in congregation.. is it disingenuous to use that word?
I find social media, jamaa included is not a true representation of society, but serves to warp opinions and I think it pollutes people.. without it, we wouldn't have the haraam influences and systemic non Islamic ways, normalised by people.
In islam the only time we should disobey oarents is when what they ask of you contradicts deen.. thats parents, who hold the key to our jannah.. so then why do we not reject everything else that contradicts sharia'ah
I find when I use the app, my time is wasted, its unproductive, serves no real tangible benefit and I also don't think this is really a place where a suitable partner for marriage can be found, given the psychological effects of using apps like this
There are so many studies on the effects of social media, in general.. imagine what it does to a muslim, where principles and frameworks and expectations are unilaterally different
Imagine living and surrounding ourselves with decent people, who adhere to the quraan and the sunnah.. in makkah, medinah, and many other Muslim countries, we see this, People visit those places and feel the difference, their hearts always want to go back, the peace it feels in those places
That's fitra, the hearts natural disposition and desire, how Allah intended it to be
I took a massive break from this last year, jamaa, along with anywhere else online where you interact with faceless unaccountability and anonymity, I thought I'd see how different life is without it, and honestly it's very different
In fact, I remember days without the Internet and access from out pockets, people would interact more, forge real relationships with family, mingling and not caring about what others think
Now, that's all everyone thinks about, likes, engagement, instant validity from strangers
People will say 'not me'
Yes you, everyone.. if we posted something and no one clicked like, no on evangel, no one bothered.. how long would we keep posting?
Not long, that's the inherent cause of failure online, that's why MySpace died, no many people used it when other options became available, Facebook added many other functions just to stay relevant too, so let's not kid ourselves into trying to convince ourselves posts and comments are not for likes, attention, validity
Even this post, I didn't put it up as a personal note.. its up for people to see
When I make a post citing haraam, it's for people to see, in the hope that if even one person takes it on boars, then to me its worth it.
Some people post selfie, for attention, some put on makeup, do rheir hair up for acceptance.. otherwise why not just put a pic up when they look the worst?
It's crazy how social media has changed the psychological wellbeing of people, muslims and non muslims
Real society with morals and deen seems to be dying slowly, and social media, acceptance of things that are deemed haraam seem to be on the rise
In the last 10 to 15 years, the world has changed in terms of people and integrity etc, even in the muslim community if we see pictures from those days and compare them with those from today, in some places the difference is polarising especially in terms of how people dress and carry themselves
So yeah, I put this up so people see it, makes them think, I put a link as a starting point too, but I won't be engaging with responses and don't really care if there are likes or not.
If the post is read and causes people to think, then the post served it's purpose
Am I the only one that has noticed videos online attacking muslim women, especially hijabis for wanting to cover up?
It's like a new wave of western feminism and they believe women cover up because they see modesty from the lense of misogyny?
I thought it was the opposite, no?
