I think I am just using this app for Jamaa, I had a serious encounter with a beautiful Sister from Saudi Arabia, and connected with a beautiful sister from Lebanon on the app Salams but that app is almost useless now and I get nothing but wasted time and money, as this was two years ago. Both sisters were in Texas and I made the mistake of deleting this app (salaams) two years ago when it was more active in Texas and not marrying one of those sisters.
I don’t know what type of politics is happening now in the US but I do not like it. I will look for a beautiful sister in the mosque from now on and stop wasting my time. It costs too much time and is taking away from my career this marriage search, but it is my fault for not looking for marriage in the mosque when I converted in Virginia 9 years ago. I was so focused on brotherhood for so long I must have made a mistake about the core concepts of Islam this whole time. I even had a Moroccan brother introduce me to his cousin on what’s app and that could have led to something but I blew it because I refused to study mahr and Islamic marriage. Allah forgive my ignorance.

Hay new converts
You just entered islam stop debating without knowledge, many of you running around debating without elm or knowledge 📚. And they are emotional too. And they want their western values to stay with them.
Should I even be thinking about marriage if I feel so jaded 😭 I feel like as a revert I am double-jaded and have baggage in my identity that would blindsight a pious Muslim man most likely… that I’m afraid to even talk about marriage with someone that seems really dedicated and on the straight path cause honestly I feel too messed up. And the guys I’ve interacted with that don’t care at all about this seem to care most about *** 🫨 I know it will all be ok in the end but maybe I should just stop looking for now..?

THE IMPORTANCE OF TAWAKKUL
(TRUST IN ALLAH)
INSPIRED BY THE STORY OF PROPHET MUSA (AS)
One of the greatest lessons from the story of Prophet Musa (AS) is the importance of Tawakkul placing complete trust in Allah while striving to do what is right.
Prophet Musa (AS) trusted Allah completely, even when there seemed to be no escape.
Then Allah commanded him to strike the sea with his staff, and by Allah's permission, the sea parted into towering paths.
The believers crossed safely, while Firawn and his army were drowned.
This miracle teaches us that when we sincerely rely upon Allah, He opens doors that we could never imagine.
(Al-Qur'an 26:63-66)
HOW CAN WE PRACTICE TAWAKKUL?
Make sincere du'ä.
Work hard and fulfill your responsibilities.
Be patient with Allah's decree.
Leave the results to Allah.
Remember Allah in times of ease and hardship.
When Prophet Musa (AS) and the Children of Israel reached the sea, Fir'awn and his army were pursuing them.
The people became frightened and said:
6 Indeed, we are sure to be overtaken."
But Prophet Musa (AS) replied with complete certainty:
6 No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
(Al-Qur'an 26:61-62)
WHAT IS TAWAKKUL?
Tawakkul means placing your complete trust in Allah after making the necessary effort. It is not abandoning action, but doing your best while believing that the outcome is in Allah's Hands.
LESSONS FROM PROPHET MUSA (AS)
Trust Allah even when the situation seems impossible.
Never lose hope in Allah's mercy.
Be patient during trials.
Obey Allah's commands without hesitation.
Believe that Allah's help will come at the right time.
A REMINDER
Every believer faces moments when the future seems uncertain. At such times, remember the words of Prophet Musa (AS):
"No! Indeed, with me is my Lord;
He will guide me.
(Al-Qur'an 26:61-62)
Place your trust in Allah, continue doing what is right, and know that He is the Best of Planners.

May Allah grant us true tawakkul, strengthen our faith, and keep our hearts firm upon His guidance. Amin.
