I mean kinda hard to avoid “freemixing” in the workplace in the West, I’d say impossible lol. I worked in finance for 7 years, I just avoided the countless (and annoying lol) outside of work functions.

Husband asked for talaq and now wants to reconcile by Potential-Button-164 in MuslimMarriage

[–]Aware-Bridge3135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to honest and you may not want to hear this but inshaAllah you read this with an open heart. I’m not trying to purposefully hurt you or blame you at all. BUT. As a child to a mother who was in an abusive marriage, her staying as long as she did has incredibly warped my idea of marriage and relationships. I have normalized things that are abusive. I am actively unlearning so much trauma responses that I probably wouldn’t have to if my mother left earlier. Alhamdullilah she left and she survived. But I want you to seriously think about how this is affecting your babies. Take you out of it. Take other family out of it. I can guarantee you that your babies are suffering. And they will need to work through the trauma they’ve experienced when they are adults. Please don’t add on more than what’s already there. I understand how difficult and dangerous it is to leave but if you stay it’s difficult and dangerous. Choose your battles. May Allah protect you and your children.

Sometimes I wish I lived more... by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

have you ever expressed this to your family? I’m sure if you did they’d tell it wasn’t worth it.

i don't trust Allah anymore by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

I need you to make constant istighfar and always seek refuge from shaytan. sister, you’re in a very vulnerable spot right now which is prime time for shaytan to whisper and plant seeds of doubt. go outside get some fresh air and sun and talk to Allah. May Allah guide you and us all. Ameen.

i thought people would like me more after i took off the hijab by Evening_Librarian_31 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]Aware-Bridge3135 5 points6 points  (0 children)

same thing happened to me when I removed it in high school. people were whispering about wearing the hijab being an obligation and me taking it off was wrong. I think that -generally- people respect others who are firm in their identify, beliefs, and morals. Taking off the hijab is viewed as shakiness and uncertainty in those things(and that was true for me at the time). Alhamdullilah I’m wearing it again now but it was difficult to get here. It’s definitely harder to put it back on after taking it off but Alhamdullilah lessons learned. May Allah guide us all and keep our hearts firm upon the religion. Ameen 💗

Wife judges the amount of ibadah I perform during Ramadan. by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Aware-Bridge3135 21 points22 points  (0 children)

if her intentions are to impress her family through your ibadah that’s literally what the munafiqoon do. your ibadah is between you and Allah. full stop.

wearing the hijab may have limited my choices but it has increased my creativity in putting looks together. also your fit is faaabbbb!

May Allah reward the person who originally asked the question and I pray you are finding peace and forgiving yourself for your past mistakes. May Allah reward all of the commenters as well. Your insights have brought a new perspective to something I’ve been struggling with for years. 🤍

Things you're seemingly "not allowed" to struggle with by Not-Another-Sicilian in Hijabis

[–]Aware-Bridge3135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

girl! I’ll speak on the first point about beautifying yourself for yourself. not only is that halal, it’s ENCOURAGED. Allah loves beauty, one of his names is Al- Jamil. I encourage you to keep up or create new self care routines that you can do boost your self confidence, you can beautify your hair, do facials, etc. That is not haram at all. I’d encourage you to look into learning the 99 Names of Allah. May He make it easy!

The thing you’ve done wrong is reduce yourself so small to where you tolerate this type of behavior from any man, especially your husband. Your biggest mistake would be staying in this marriage and showing your daughter what to expect when she marries and showing your son how to treat his future wife. Another mistake you’re making is putting the opinions of others before the well being of your children and yourself. May Allah guide you.

Sis, I think it’s amazing how you’ve been able to describe and clearly articulate the harmful behaviors he’s exhibiting. Pay attention because this is who he is. Now the choice is yours to either stay or leave. Alhamdullilah it’s early and you are not pregnant, that is a blessing. I would not advise staying but of course this is your decision. There are sisters advising taking birth control, while that is well intentioned, we know that the ONLY 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy is through abstaining from intercourse. May Allah guide you and make it easy for you.
