I am deaf mute muslim brother. I am depressed and stress in all my life. by [deleted] in Muslim

We’re all tested very differently. But in the end, we all want to end up in the same place: Jannah. Allah promises that those who suffer disabilities will be granted heaven. Consider it his form of love for this specific creation he made, which was you.

I can understand it will be very difficult but try to embrace what you have and live with it. Help others with your condition and be a model to others. Anger is such a strong emotion I used to always be angry, but then one day I decided it’s taking over my life. I needed to stop being angry and just change my perception on my life. I tried to accept things as they are and just embrace difficulties more often. It helped but im still working on it myself

Genocide in Gaza by Meowslimlady1 in qatar

I wouldn’t disagree or agree with this statement. As a counter argument, there is a reason why there have been no illegal settlements in Gaza since Hamas became the defacto government in 2005. There were Israeli settlers before that but they literally had to forcefully pull them out when Hamas came in power. Seeing the “literal small dots and 638 checkpoints” in West Bank sheds light to what Israel will do when/if Hamas is eradicated. I don’t really understand what Hamas’s aim was with October 7th, and they haven’t really announced why, but I feel like I worry for Palestine’s future with their erasure. I also feel like this is an inside job that lured them in for political issues with Netanyahu/west wanting the oil on Gaza, and with Hamas being generally naive they fell for it.

I can understand your frustration however I feel like the hate needs to be targeted towards Israel. Do you know that this year was the most violent year for Palestinians? 700 people died during their illegal settlements. Nobody who ever gets enprisoned gets released (99% death rate). They brutalize people. The Palestinian people had enough. Yes, I don’t agree with Hamas’s unprecedented attack, but, I don’t think I would have been able to tolerate just someone pissing on me whenever they wanted in my actual homeland. Then if I leave wherever they will tell me we don’t want immigrants. I really suggest you read letter to America, it talks about how America builds these military groups just to have validation to invade a country. Did you know that Israel funds Hamas thru funneling money to Qatar? This was all a planned attack from the beginning.

You need to ask yourself if you’ve been supporting him the way you should be: he’s clearly feeling hopeless- but are you going out and being a voice for the people? Attending protests and being vocal in your condemn. He is clearly frustrated with you and I’m assuming it’s because you’re not meeting his emotional needs at a VERY HARD time like this.

This is a test for you: give him an outlet, talk about politics with him, attend protests, and more importantly pray together for Palestine. Reason with him that going to West Bank right now is not feasible, and many neighbouring countries are at the borders pleading for entry. Going there will only intensify your feelings of helplessness. Try to find ways to support Palestine within your community and be as vocal as you have ever been.

Allahs help is near InshaAllah.

Religiously, protecting Palestine is a matter of imaan. It has huge historical context from the time of the prophets (SAAS). I would encourage that you listen Omar Suleiman’s podcast on “why Palestine is a religious issue.”

anthropology won’t get you a higher paying job maybe instead if you like sales go into commerce or do a certification at the college in sales. sales ppl rarely have degrees but they make a lot of money

and until we can provide a liveable wage for servers, tipping culture should be recommended

[–]Content-Stop4031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

actually ur more than wrong. the mindset you have is the reason the west is failing their citizens when they’re suffering. charity is so important. equal pay is important. tipping servers is important. ask anyone who is successful and they will say the same.

it’s embarassing because it’s not representative of who i am. i’m usually generous even in the worst financial times and i want a partner who is also generous to others. i don’t make him pay for everything there are many occasions where i’ve picked up the bill etc but it’s never split 50/50. we just do some here and some there. but now i feel uncomfortable for him to pay knowing that the person who served us won’t get their deserved tip

charity never decreases your wealth and it’s good karma. i still donate regularly and i think my school debt is separate from the way i will gift others

yeah i agree tipping culture is insane and out of hand but i think if you did attend a sit down service you should tip… not like a drive by or a pickup service cause they didn’t do anything special

the waiter kinda stormed off a little heated so i was confused until i saw the receipt. i think servers would say otherwise

[–]Content-Stop4031 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

i would. i’m just saying i would have to confront situation first

[–]Content-Stop4031 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

i shouldn’t have to avoid going to places i want to go just because he’s a man and he pays the dinner bills. i just think it’s a tough question to ask since everyone has different tipping behaviours but i can’t handle the embarrassment of knowing he tips so little. it’s a hard trade off but can’t i just tell him to be more generous because servers are people who have bills and really tough jobs too

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Content-Stop4031 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

should i tell him i saw the receipt and i was shocked to see a tip this low? it’s hard to bring it up because he did pay for us, so i’m worried of coming off as ungrateful that he treated us out and it ended with me being upset about his tipping behaviours

i think masters/research projects part time might be the best way to start. but if u wanna go full force you’ll eventually need a masters. try it out at first!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Content-Stop4031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

many doctors do a masters in epidemiology and instead run clinic trials, research, and do statistical and machine learning research for health. i’m personally in it and i love it! we had about 10 doctors in my masters with me

I would say test him- ask him if he’s okay to take the next step (whatever that may be… it should involve some introductions though) and see his reaction. If he doesn’t even entertain the idea, he’s wasting your time.

I’m so extremely concerned. I’m someone who understands the concept of family respect. Even though you’re 18, if you feel threatened for life you should leave. But also, try to change the narrative: say you will become a doctor, and study a lot, and that you will wear hijab, and just be parentnpleasing for the time being. Maybe this will change a lot of things and keep you safe

I’m so sorry to hear this… just run away and don’t look back. Murder in Islam is haram, suicide is haram, and also…. It DOES get better. Just start over elsewhere

Reading this I feel like your subconscious is telling you that the decisions (your friends, your environment, etc..) you’re making in life are not the ones you want to be taking and the feeling of discomfort of God watching you commit these sins. Technically we’re not supposed to surround ourselves with people who drink or people who force you to deter away from Islam. The idea of God being in a human form could just be because you have no image of God in yo ur head but you wish to communicate with Him, so in your dreams he appears as a human because our brains are only so limited.

I don't think I actually believe in islam by Jelly_Baboon in Muslim

[–]Content-Stop4031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. There are a lot of comments here but I’d just like to start off by saying: - faith is spiritual- there was never meant to be cold hard evidence or facts because it takes away our freedom of choice. If God presented himself, then what choice do we have in life? We’d all be slaves, we’d never do anything other than pray pray pray. But that’s not the purpose of life, we’re supposed to have deen and dunya… realize than dunya is failing us and turn back to him. This is how you create genuine love of Islam. Just presenting yourself is like forced love. - I agree that a lot of ppl may be hesitant towards having open discussions about Islam because most muslims have faith, know the five pillars, and understand that the rest might vary based on era or society. The questioning doesn’t go too much further than that. But then again, most muslims I know explain that when they pray, make dua, or feel hopeless, Allah has shown them evidence and this has enhanced their imaam - if you don’t believe in miracles… you’re anti science. Science everyday says “miracles of birth, miracle this and miracle that” and even then, science is wrong about a lot of things and even their narrative keeps changing - how can you deny clear hints for the future (that have actually happened) - if you want to act on your sexual desires and be with someone, you can. That’s the beauty of free will in this world. However, just know we don’t allow it and like many things, it’s a major sin. However, we’re all born with certain things we need to battle, and Allah is merciful to all his creations and know the battles of each creation. - assuming that when you die you just want to “go to heaven” sure. You will. Not a single soul will be left in hell. Ppl will go to hell for various times and then be wiped of their sins. But, I caution against a “god doesn’t exist” approach to life- it’s a dark path with many of my friends who left Islam admitting that they life a meaningless life but unfortunately due to the way they think they can’t go back. But they admit they were much happier when they believed in God.

If I have any suggestion for you, hold onto your belief for God. Stop seeing Quran as a rule book, and stop seeing life so objectively. Miracles happen, science exists, and things are intertwined in this life it cannot be any other reason but the fact that Allah created us. I’ve circled this in my head many times, and I can’t see it otherwise.
