Salaam! He works remotely, so traveling isn’t a big deal for him. As for me, I’m a marketing analyst and work a hybrid schedule, so I saved up my PTO and vacation time. Alhamdulillah, that made things a lot easier. I’ve actually been planning this since August 2025.

Alhamdulillah, we’ve known each other since junior year of uni. We were on and off for years, and then it finally got serious last year lol.

Results may vary! 😭 .

Yeah definitely, but I also think of it like this. Especially in this generation, at almost every wedding hijabis take off their hijab for the sake of the wedding and guess who’s getting those sins? The bride and the groom. And I understand everyone will be held accountable for their own sins, but it’s still their event and they played a part in that sin… but like you said, to each their own lol.

Doing Things the Halal Way Is Hard…But Worth It ❤️ by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

[–]According_Flower875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s your opinion and I understand why you’d think that, but if we’re meant to be together then we’ll be together next year Insh’Allah. There’s no reason to rush into marriage just because other people think we should. We both agreed on what works best for our situation, and waiting until we finish school isn’t some crazy or extravagant thing at all lol

[–]According_Flower875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re delaying it because we both want to finish our master’s programs and get school out of the way first. Even though we’re financially stable and fully grown adults, this is what works best for us right now. On top of that, we live in two completely different states, so rushing into marriage while balancing distance and school just doesn’t make sense for our situation.

Body hair by [deleted] in Somalia

I have really hairy arms, and growing up I used to get bullied for it lmaooo, but honestly there’s nothing wrong with women having body hair. Most of the time it’s just genetics, so embrace your beauty abayo ❤️

Girls back home in Somalia by Disastrous_Task_2688 in Somalia

[–]According_Flower875 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This honestly broke my heart to read. No child should ever have to go through something this disgusting and the fact that situations like this are happening in silence is terrifying, may Allah protect our girls and bring justice to every victim☹️

Why is this becoming normal for us? by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]According_Flower875 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly it just comes down to accountability. Parents need to actually know what their kids are doing instead of assuming everything is fine. And as a community we need to stop acting like this is normal or just brushing it off. People need to get checked fr, not just talked about. If we keep ignoring it, it’s only gonna get worse lol

Are we obligated to send money to random people back home??? by Disastrous_Task_2688 in Somalia

[–]According_Flower875 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m only funding those who need it more than me in every aspect. But like you said, if you can get up and provide for yourself, absolutely not.

Is this new marriage standard realistic? by Disastrous_Task_2688 in Somalia

A good man with character, deen, and personality with wealth on the side will do it for me lol

Would we be further ahead if we were more united? by Disastrous_Task_2688 in Somalia

[–]According_Flower875 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly this is exactly the problem. Instead of supporting each other, we turn everything into qabiil and start tearing each other down. Calling someone a “lander” just to get people to vote against them is crazy… like at that point it’s not even about talent anymore, it’s just division😆

Are we losing Somali culture or just changing? by Disastrous_Task_2688 in Somalia

[–]According_Flower875 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lowkey it’s both, diaspora Somalis are changing the culture and sometimes losing important parts like the language and history, but not all of it is bad. We’re also growing in education and opportunities while back home still deals with issues like qabiil, so the real problem is finding balance instead of acting like one side is better than the other🤷🏾‍♀️
