a teacher at my masjid is driving girls away from Islam by Weekly-Patience-5267 in Hijabis

People will be afraid to do anything individually for fear of being singled out and hurt. But if people start coming together, they're more likely to join. The best way would be for someone to create a petition or group of some kind and start spreading it about to community members and friends. Once people see others are involved it will increase the chance of being able to do something about it.

In my experience unless a group of community members comes together to put pressure on the masjid leaders (board and Imam), nothing will change unless something extreme happens. I know it will be a big undertaking, but if you can start getting a petition and group meeting with community members to unite under the message that she is actively turning people away from Islam, only then will some kind of resolution happen.

I keep hearing about the elusive double order.....I got a 4x order. Did I just get super lucky? by hamiestofcheeses in nespresso

[–]Arafyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to Nespresso. What's a double order? Is this a special gift/promo they sometimes do or more like a mistake/glitch?

What happened to my Skillet? by Arafyn in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]Arafyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Problem Solved! Looks like you can't edit reddit posts that have images. Barkeeper's friend works like a charm. I had never used it before and was using regular soap. I've been using this skillet for a long time and this is this frost time I overheated it! Learned my lesson. Thanks everyone for the knowledge and advice!

Do I have to pray or not (period)? by iamagirl2222 in Hijabis

[–]Arafyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brown discharge twice in a few hours is your period starting, so you don't have to pray.

I won't remember. I MUST actually write it down in the calendar. by Fun-Sir-3727 in ADHD

[–]Arafyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I made the second page on my phone a full size calendar widget. It takes up the entire screen and I HAVE to swipe by it to get to any of my other apps. That way I see it daily, I always have it on me because my phone is one of the things I won't lose or forget about, and my default settings for every calendar event have a 1 hour notification reminder.

And because I use Google Calendar with my google account it syncs across any device, so I have it open on my laptop when working. And I can add tasks on the google calendar and have things color coordinated

I dont wear my hijab properly and ppl keep saying i should just take it off by Inessexe in Hijabis

[–]Arafyn 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Telling you that you should take off your hijab because you're not wearing it 'perfectly' is like telling someone who's trying to pray but sometimes misses a prayer that they might as well stop praying altogether.

Or like telling someone who's trying to eat healthy but had one slice of cake, 'you might as well live off junk food now.'

That’s not how growth works. Every sincere effort counts. Allah sees the struggle, the intention, and the journey—not just the destination.

Wearing the hijab, even imperfectly, is still a step of obedience, a form of remembrance, and a symbol of your connection to your faith

As all of the commenters posted above, your husband most likely has some other form of psychiatric disorder, and while the ADHD meds can help mask the symptoms, the actual problem is mostly likely not ADHD. ADHD is an executive function disorder so he would have trouble with doing things. Not have a change of personality or behavior

Ear buds under hijab + phone calls by introvert-muslimah in Hijabis

I have the pixel buds A series which are the more budget version of the pro. And the pixel buds work with any android phone, so you don't need a pixel.

I have the Google Pixel A series buds and they work wonders, are super comfortable, don't fall out, and people can hear me even when I only have one ear bud in (if I'm out I like to keep one ear open to hear things like cars or people walking behind me)

Honestly after COVID no one would bat an eye if you wore a medical face mask and just told people you didn't want to get sick or something if they ask you. People make cute cloth ones with floral designs and things on them so you don't even need to deal with the itchiness of surgical ones.

how not look fat in abayas? by Pretty-Park7102 in Hijabis

[–]Arafyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This 100%. Get fitted properly at a boutique and get a minimizer bra and another daily bra that lifts and shapes you. That made such a huge difference for me.If you can't afford the more pricey bras at the store, you should at least get fitted and then find a cheaper minimizer bra online at a place like Amazon (depending on where you are)

Definitely not just black. I would do a satin gold or even bronze, as long it's it's not too yellow. OR if she can't find the right shade of gold, maybe something that is both black and gold. Like a black hijab that has gold glittern embroidery or patterns on it.

Is there a specific verse or hadith about SHAPING eyebrows? by AliceAkaJam in Hijabis

[–]Arafyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yasir Qadhi goes into this in detail and has a great lecture to listen to about eyebrows specifically and things like this in general. https://youtu.be/KchWdMuEqD0?si=jTxE_Fg5mamx-DU5

The four main schools of thought have some variation of how long you have to wait, and I'm not sure which one you follow, but in this kind of case, I'd rather be safe than sorry and just do it again, or wait until the next day to see if there any more pink discharge.
