Muslims in America

Insha’Allah, one of my long-term dreams, maybe 10–15 years from now, is to return to my family’s hometown in Oaxaca, Mexico, and help spread the message of Islam throughout the region.

Where my family is from is predominantly Indigenous, and there is essentially no Islamic presence in the area. Catholicism became deeply established following the Spanish conquest and colonization. During that period, some of our ancestors’ Indigenous temples and ceremonial structures were destroyed, their stones and materials were reused to construct Catholic churches and other colonial buildings, and in some places Christian structures were built within or over Indigenous sacred and ceremonial sites.

You can still see that history throughout Oaxaca today—the ancient Zapotec, Mixtec and other Indigenous archaeological and sacred sites alongside the Catholic institutions that arrived through Spanish colonization.

One of my long-term goals is to return to that region and spread the word of Islam, particularly among rural Indigenous communities that may have had little or no exposure to it. I want to do this respectfully—sharing the message, providing resources, answering questions and giving people the opportunity to learn about Islam for themselves.

This is a long-term goal, but it is something I genuinely intend to pursue, Insha’Allah. Does anyone have any advice or experience with something like this? How would you go about introducing Islam and eventually establishing a Muslim community in an area where there is currently essentially no Islamic presence or mosque?

Any tips, resources or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Insha’Allah, perhaps one day a Muslim community can grow there.

Is marriage written or do you choose your partner. Cause if marriage is a test , it has to be chosen . So that you can’t blame Allah for your poor decision in selecting a partner for yourself

Sorry to say but people treat divorce like they are breaking up with their girlfriend or boyfriend. They take marriage like they are in an affair with each other . They want to play cat and mouse with each other . Can’t take responsibility and fight over silly matters . If you can’t swallow your ego like honey , you’re not ready to get married. There will be misunderstandings fights , silence and awkward moments but you have to realize it’s marriage that’s how they are naturally. In dating culture people show you what they want to show . You don’t get the bigger picture of what he or she is like until you settle with each other. Keep your expectations and reality in check cause you’re about to get a huge turbulence if you think marriage is like in the movies . It’s not , it’s about getting up in the morning and still choosing to be with that person through thick and thin .

Must watch

"Islam says you're made in pairs to find each other.
But Islam says something very important that people don't take into consideration.

It said we created you in different tribes, different locations so you can meet.
But then you have people who want to marry people from their culture, their city.
Like I don't know how convenient God made this game that your right match is in your city.
The same neighbourhood.
In Dubai, in my neighbourhood, my mom's friend's son or daughter, you know. 😂😂

It doesn't work like that.
And God encourages you to go out there.
To meet people, to learn, to meet different tribes and cultures and all that, to merge them together.

People don't do that.
They just want to stay stuck in something, in a program that they've been bred on and fed to.
'Sister, kids, you only belong to someone like you.'
How boring! How uninteresting is this game now?
And this is why they end up getting married and 'no I'm not happy, I'm not happy, I'm not happy'.

Well, you're searching in a pool while there is an ocean out there. 💯💯

Also Islam says that these things like children, money, marriage and all that is just the fun of life.
Whether you get it or not doesn't mean life is not complete.
Finding yourself, finding God, finding your divinity makes life complete.
You know, enjoying this experience makes life complete."👍👍🥰🤲

Hi 👋

Why do people gain weight right after getting married? 🤧🤔 Is it actual science 🧪 or just endless post-wedding feast mode? 🧫😭

Woke up this morning thinking that I’d trade my wife for a Rocket 3 GT.

It is very difficult to find out loyal partner who believe on true bonding of love, who respectfully own the men, ,who talk about marriage instead of long term relationships. I Think nobody, everyone is here for chitchat.
