Muslims in Michigan

THANKS TO GOD 🎚️

So met a girl on this app 4 years ago turns out me asking for her hand in marriage 2 times and being rejected was because she was actually engaged to another man already and she lead me on all the way up to the day of her wedding. Hamdillah for everything

I truly admire the way you found the light in your life. It all started with a simple greeting. I accepted your profile when it appeared and liked mine. Do you know? The first time I saw your profile, all the way to the end of your bio, you wrote there that you are truly a Muslim, and you were worried that your appearance might make people doubt your faith. From the moment I saw it, and realized you are a convert, I smiled with joy and gratitude. I don’t know where that feeling came from, but I was happy that you are on the best path until now. (I felt that even before we started talking). I also thought your photo was quite cute for someone with tattoos 😂 so I replied to your greeting.

I was really looking forward to one question I had for you. I was sure you would receive my question well. And you did — with such kindness, you were willing to answer what you called “a big question.”
“How did you find Islam?”
Wallahi, you are the first convert I’ve ever been able to talk to, and I finally got to ask the question I had wanted to ask for so long.
We continued the conversation very well. And you are also the first man who made me feel comfortable enough to just be myself. Wallahi I’m telling the truth 😄
You have a gentle heart. You are careful with your words to me, and you guard every topic we discuss. But everything feels so natural and warm. Even now I still remember the small details you told me.

Day by day we kept sharing about what we were each busy with. It felt so wonderful!
You excitedly told me about your little garden that you take such good care of, your pets, your bearded dragon named Charlie and your betta fish. Also your baby plants that you nurture so well. The photo of the Aladdin animation painting you made yourself on the street to make children happy. Your stories about your commute to and from work, with all the little things I always looked forward to. You really enjoy your bus rides there, because that’s one of the ways you get to enjoy peace again.

I remember so clearly the typhoon on September 3, 2026 where you live.
Even in that emergency situation you still took the time to let me know.
And I was there, hoping I could help calm your heart a little. You were so worried your daughter was anxious about what was happening. I understand — she must have been so worried about you, especially since at that time your daughter was staying with your mom, while you were still at the office with the electricity still out.
You told me, “I can finally charge my phone at the office because the electricity at home is still off.” I was so worried about both of you there.

The distance between us is so far, we’ve never even met, yet at that time I felt so anxious about you. I know you needed the kind words you like from me, and I felt that you were also comfortable with me.
You understood my situation so well, because we have a similar past in marriage. So everything felt very familiar to both of us.

In the end we talked about the wounds from our childhood.
I trusted you too deeply, and I was also wrong in this — I didn’t explain clearly that I didn’t actually go through it, or that I only almost experienced it.
Something you couldn’t bear to hear.
I was just in too much of a rush to explain everything.
I was trying to be myself, like you always reminded me to be.
But why didn’t you give me just a little chance to explain that I have made peace with everything I’ve been through?
This is who I am now.
What I went through was a test from Allah so that I could become strong until I met you.

But I understand. You couldn’t bear to hurt me any further.
You were also worried that I might disturb the peaceful life you have with your daughter right now.
I know how much you protect that.
I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to reassure you.

I always hoped we could have just a little time to lighten the mood that day.
We were supposed to meet at the beginning of the year, right?
But it’s okay.

I will always keep you as a story I hold dear and cherish in my life.

From me,
Iklas

What’s there to do on Saturday for an aspiring good Muslim

Hi everyone! 😊

Is anyone in Detroit planning to travel to Algeria soon? I need to send a small package to Algeria and I’m looking for someone who could take it with them.

I’m willing to pay for the favor. Please message me privately if you’re traveling soon and might be able to help.

Thank you so much! 🤍

I truly only found one person here. And he left me because of a misunderstanding.. Wherever you are, I never got the chance to explain it. I hope you always meet good people

"After eighteen years of marriage and three beautiful children, two boys and a girl, I realized that sometimes you have to let go, no matter how hard you tried to keep your family together. Today, my biggest concern is our children. I'm their father and I'll always be there for them. But I struggle to understand when a mother says, "In Islam, the children belong with the father," and then chooses not to be actively involved in their lives. I'm asking sincerely, is that truly what Islam teaches? Shouldn't both parents remain present and responsible for their children regardless of divorce or remarriage? Children should never lose the love and care of either parent just because a marriage ended.

Looking for friends. I like walks, reading, talking about anything especially current events. I just need a third space. I miss those and need some human interaction.

Bradley from ann Arbor Michigan, 42 Yo

Thank you for teaching me to stay strong and I will still be myself today.
