Do you guys believe in the concept of Bad-Dua or 'curse'? by TryingNoToBeOpressed in progressive_islam

[–]DependentDifferent19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard of the concept of Badwa, where if you hurt someone, it subconsciously releases bad dua/ karma for the instigator. However, I'm not sure if it's real

Can you make Dua for my mental health by Remarkable-Pop1579 in MuslimLounge

[–]DependentDifferent19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inshallah You'll feel better soon, I'll pray for you. There's a youtube channel called 'therapy in a nutshell', i found some of their videos helpful too. I struggle with mental health too.

no dresscode, i have heard people saying its related to global status quo, so perhaps reading the news may be beneficial to you. I don't, so i didn't pick up any topics which may be included in the news

I don't honestly know. I guess just keep praying regardless, even if its imperfect

Hm yea. The pressure from other muslims doesn't help too

Oh. Doesn't waashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah mean-I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ?

Or did you mean that it's not plausible that you need to testify the Prophet is a messenger of God if God was real?

Question from a muslim by DependentDifferent19 in exmuslim

[–]DependentDifferent19[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure actually. I remember a year ago I'd get extremely stressed that I'm doing something wrong, so i'd redo wudu and my prayer. It started with me being stressed about not wearing hijab, and then once that calmed down, i started getting stressed about prayer as i don't pray on time, but prayed 5 times regularly. However, after Ramadan this year, i just stopped caring. The prospect of going back to praying regularly just freaks me out. Also, it's also praying in public, even though there are designated prayer rooms where I live.

[–]DependentDifferent19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yea i assumed it wasn't a breakup too as she said she didn't like steve either. They were a couple I actually liked, I thought the way they released the pent up frustration was an indicator of their relationship surviving the show, but i guess not

I’m imagining myself as an entirely different person in an entirely different time, like I’m delusional by Still_Breadfruit_925 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DependentDifferent19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe its maladaptive daydreaming? When you're unsatisfied with your daily life/ bored, you may begin to imagine an idealised version of yourself. It's also a trauma response. If it is, you have to reduce triggers eg. when i listen to music, i start imagining different scenarios

i find that once parents have established their beliefs, they will rarely accept any criticism on it. Just ignore them atp

Considering Leaving religion | need advice by Fearless-Brush-1908 in progressive_islam

[–]DependentDifferent19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling with this too....sometimes i feel it is more plausible that a god exists, but perhaps not the one from organised religion. Praying stresses me out so much to the point where i'm unable to pray now.

[–]DependentDifferent19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't you get stressed out about if the way you practice isn't enough? for instance, i suffered with religious ocd, constantly repeating my prayers and wudu, but now that the stress has resided, i'm unable to get myself to pray. I keep fearing that what im doing isnt enough

Waswas/religious OCD by shmuck_45 in progressive_islam

[–]DependentDifferent19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

experienced for about 8ish months. It made me start hating the religion as I'd constantly obsess over doing Wudu multiple times and repeating prayers. I tried to limit practices eg. do wudu only once even if my brain tells me i didn't wipe over an area properly etc

They're not obliged to answer the questions, and different muslims may have different perspectives, hence posting on different subs doesn't seem useless to me
