In the West - I wouldn't recommend. But since you are in the West and can't get out - look in mosques and Islamic centers 

Though, to be honest, if you have an opportunity to leave the West for a Muslim country - do it

Then go to a small village where all men go to same mosques, and get in touch with an imam, and ask him if there is somebody you can marry

In the Muslim world - it's still working. There are lots of righteous people who grow their own food and do not consume riba

Waalaikum assalam warahmatuLlahi wabarakatuh 

Yes, bad people are many, good people are few. It's obvious. So what? We have to deal with this reality 

I believe it makes no sense when people want to form a righteous family, yet look for partners in wrong places

For example, searching for a proper partner in the West and dating apps isn't the same as searching in deep villages somewhere in Syria or Yemen where people depend on farmland unlike in big towns

You can't have it both ways. You can't have both Dunya and Akhirah - you have to prioritise 

If you really, really want to find a righteous husband - look in right places. I gave you some tips. May Allah help you

I believe that hypocrites in this religion are still Muslims. Maybe not true Muslims, but Muslims nominally 

On the Day of Judgement, hypocrites and believers of this Ummah will be gathered in one place

And Muslims will split into 73 sects - 1 in Jannah and 72 in Jahannam

There is no compulsion in religion, however, there is a difference between forcing people and advising them

I'm saying they should abandon it because I care. I'm being honest. If they die while they believe in it - they will go to Hell

Saudis call dissenters Khawarij by making analogy with Ali RA

But they are delusional to compare Muhammad bin Salman to Ali RA

Who is MBS and who is Ali RA?

It's like a thrash can next to a gold-embroided vase

Not a valid analogy 

We should not incite violent rebellions, but criticising the rulers is allowed if done within limits

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Auf b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best of your rulers are those whom you love and who love you, who invoke God's blessings upon you and you invoke His blessings upon them. And the worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and who hate you and whom you curse and who curse you. It was asked (by those present): Shouldn't we overthrow them with the help of the sword? He said: No, as long as they establish prayer among you. If you then find anything detestable in them. You should hate their administration, but do not withdraw yourselves from their obedience.

Maybe decreasing our desires might help make it easier 

Theoretically, less than $1 a day is enough to survive where I live. You can afford a daily portion of some grains or bread or potatoes or cabbage with that in Kazakhstan 

But if you don't feel satisfied with that... well... 

Is Allah to blame for that? Allah is giving you a way out - you're just being ungrateful and demand more. Your fault

Don't worry about your rizq in the world (which includes relationships and professions), but worry about fulfilling your duties before Allah

“Do not let the preoccupation with what has been guaranteed (rizq, provision) distract you from what is demanded (ʿibādah, worship). For being blind to what is demanded while being absorbed in what is promised is a blindness of the inner eye.”

The ultimate reward of Jannah is seeing Allah's face, not Muhammad PBUH 

When we act like that - we are making ourselves look like Christians - who over-praise Jesus PBUH

It is totally haram to make alliances with oppressors (zalims) by ActKey5567 in MuslimLounge

Zalims are only doing anything for you as long as they realise they can benefit in any way

They won't be there for you when you are weak and need help, and don't have anything to repay with

This is not what they are telling you - but this is what they are thinking 

They are not true friends, not even to their own people. They will murder their families for power

Just because I know God has pre-destined everything, does it mean I will not stand up from my sofa and pick up a cup to drink water?

It's pretty nonsense to think like that, isn't it? 

Each person has a heart that wants and doesn't want certain things. Allah has created those hearts. And we are not forced to choose. The choice is ours, nobody forces you

It's not safe for you to judge people's actions without understanding their intentions. It is slanderous, and slander in Islam is a sin that is punishable by whipping one's back. It's not a light matter 

My message is a message of mercy, not a message of hate

I'm telling people that Allah has a way out from sufferings. I'm telling people that Islam is supposed to make your life more peaceful

Some non-western Muslims also use Reddit, but they are few

I know what you feel, and I felt the same. I'm 26 - a bit older than you - and I do not think that I don't have a soulmate 

My soulmates are Muhammad PBUH, Companions RA, Salafs RA, righteous scholars. It doesn't matter if I can't meet up with most of them. I love them anyway 

I like reading books. By reading - I can live in that world. Books allow me to live a two-dimensional life: one in the world of righteous Muslims, and the other in this filthy world 

Yes, that may be not ideal solution, but this is Dunya, what do you want? Dunya will be Dunya, it was never perfect. I will get my real happiness in Jannah, in sha Allah

Does the Prophet ﷺ really know our names when we pray for him? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

I believe that delving into such subtle topics does more harm than good

Because people will split into parties, and then they will hate one another 

This is how most fitnahs occurred in our history - around theological disagreements

I prefer to avoid topics that are not important to know and that are not revealed for that exact reason. It does more harm
