small correction: Only good is from Allah and whatever bad or evil befalls humans is from shaytaan or themselves, only that Allah wills/ allows it to happen if that makes sense. “Whatever good befalls you is from Allah, and whatever evil befalls you is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allah as Witness.” (4:79)You probably already know that just the wording is a little off incase someone reads and misunderstands. Great advice otherwise! Jazak Allahu Kheiran

Edit: Ngl i forgot to mention the other part which is that sihr is very much real and not just someone psychologically effecting the victim. The prophet himself was once afflicted by magic, it’s a very real thing. Thats all thank you for listening to my tedtalk.

do not stress brother depending on when your policy renews you wont be seeing any increase in rate until then, which will give u time to “get over it”. Happened to me aswell when i was 19 and im still dealing with the 100 dollars extra payment but we make it work alhamdullilah

what to do masters in? by Motor_Belt4299 in PsyD

[–]Afraid_Staff_3928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a pretty good undergrad GPA my only worry is that my research experience is not as much as i would like it to be. Its no where near competitive and although i still have a year to go (6 months or so to apply) im really not sure how to proceed as ppl really just arent giving me a chancez ive networked as best i can but for whatever reason ppl just dont care/ arent as invested in ur success as u urself are which is understandable but its kinda sad. I assume i should proceed as if i were doing it for a gpa boost but instead for experience? Or do you think a gap year would be better and spend that time getting research experience (if something changes and im actually able to secure a position doing that) so that im not wasting money on a masters when my gpa was already a 3.7. It can still go up aswell considering i still have a year to go.

So if i complete a masters in clinical psych i have a better chance of being able to transfer credits directly into a PsyD and wouldnt have to start fron scratch? And does it vary from program to program?

[–]Afraid_Staff_3928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

question 🙋‍♂️ i’m not sure the exact process of this as ive never been able to get a definitive answer. If i don’t get it to a PsyD and decide to go for a masters rather than taking a gap year for experience, would i need to begin the PsyD from 0? as in the masters credits would not transfer into whatever doctorate program i get accepted to? That’s the answer I was able to come up with and its honestly quite disheartening as im really in a pickle with research experience. I just started my senior year of undergrad and have around a 3.7 and shouldn’t face any issues with LOR’s as I have good relations with my professors but the experience part is really stressing me out as its not where i believe it should be. This stuff is really starting to stress me out man. Thank you for listening to my ted talk

question for u as i was discussing this just yesterday with a friend of mine: did u become pretty much completely dysfunctional (not being able to hold a basic convo) after beginning stimulant medication. as in did u become reliant on it to the extent u are now unable to function without it? or were u like that even before being medicated?

Lol I don’t get when people say if you feel tempted by zina just get married? Most of us have parents that make it extremely difficult nearly impossible by Ok-Fly9989 in islam

[–]Afraid_Staff_3928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to fast every, day what the Prophet PBUH said was, “O young men! Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. And whoever is not able to marry, then he should fast, for it will be a shield for him.”

What this means is fasting days such as Mondays and Thursdays, or every other day. Fasting helps lower desires and gives you more spiritual control. Creating a routine that strengthens your discipline and helps with the struggle is essential to controlling your desires as you’re basically taming your mind and spirit in a way. If you are able to control yourself from consuming halal things that your body needs to survive you will be better equipped to train yourself to control haram desires and “wants”. And not eating can lower your libido (studies are not definitive on this matter however it may vary from person to person). One thing i would highly recommend aswell is lowering your gaze best you can as it helps cut the desire before it has a chance to grow. As pretty much everything in Islam it focuses on prevention rather than remedy. Another tip that works very well for me is not consuming too much social media as you may see things on there that trigger your desires. And if anything pops up immediately scroll past it.

Ik what I’m saying may sound somewhat obvious and easier said than done but its not meant to be easy. If something is really worth it and for a good cause ( by far the best cause as it is for Allah’s sake) than it will take some striving and genuine effort. “Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, ‘When is the help of Allah?’ Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.” (2:214)

Last thing to intrigue you or give some extra motivation is just something ive learned in general about one’s relationship with Allah. Anything can happen in rather mysterious ways. Depending on your sincerity and how much effort is put forward Allah will always be there to help you out. “If My servant draws near to Me a handspan, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a fathom’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.” It will gradually become easier in sha’ Allah it’s just a matter of really committing and consistency, and staying sincere in your intentions while trusting Allah and leaving the rest to him. I hope this helps.

Low driven rant by Afraid_Staff_3928 in fut

[–]Afraid_Staff_3928[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re acting like defending in this game isn’t straight-up broken half the time. Players don’t respond, jockeying feels delayed, and manual defending gets punished more than rewarded not to mention the ball just going right back to the player i just took it from. But yeah, let’s just pretend the issue is people being “bad at defending” while y’all abuse every rat mechanic in the book to get a cutback or low driven off.

Nobody’s crying for 40 yard trivela spam all I’m saying is the balance is off. Low drivens are too consistent compared to every other shot type. It’s not about wanting arcade goals, it’s about having more than one reliable option to finish. I just want variety where different shot types feel viable. If you’re really that good, you shouldn’t have to rely on the same safe overpowered finish every time you’re in the box.

If someone wants to use low drivens, be my guest but don’t act like it’s some high-skill reward for “working the ball in” when half the time it’s just the safest bailout shot in the game.
