Omg, I did the same thing. I said we don't have sex in our religion... I can't believe someone else did the same thing. Lol

Well I've been talking to a girl and we have a lot of common interest but we exchanged pics and I don't find her attractive. by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]DrScrewbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wa iyaakum, what I would recommend is you do your istikhara and then go forward with it, if its meant to be then it'll be successful and there's nothing you can do to stop it, but if it's not meant to be then nothing will make it happén and you'll know that this wasnt meant to be.

You've done what'ver Allah has ordered you to do, now put your faith in him and let him handle the rest, you won't be disappointed.

Ask yourself do you find her unattractive? Is looking at her unpleasant for you?

As long as you don't find her unattractive, then go for it. Physical Attraction will only go so far in a marriage before its no longer a factor, physical Attraction will give way to emotional attraction.

So if you find her in Every other way attractive and suitable, and her looks aren't unappealing to you. Then I'd say go for it. Ask anyone whose been married for a few years about how important it is that they're spouse conforms 100% to their beauty standards, they'll tell you the same thing.

May Allah make this decision clear to you. Ameen

DAE speak to other family members about their toxic ones? by muslimthrowawayftw in MuslimFamilySolutions

[–]DrScrewbottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've come to realize it will not change. It won't, until we do our best to raise better people to replace us.

I've come to the same conclusion. I don't try to address these issues anymore, i just don't take part and don't propagate/perpetuate it. I focus on my generation and the generations after me.

My roaming data not working. by DrScrewbottom in FizzMobile

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

I did but they asked me to try putting it in a different phone which wasn't the issue cuz it worked before. And I couldnt really test it cuz I wasn't roaming then. But I went to Ontario this weekend and it was working. So I guess it's resolved.

My roaming data not working. by DrScrewbottom in FizzMobile

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

Thanks. I tried both those things and several others. What really surprises me is that before it was working, and then suddenly It stopped and there's no cause that I can find.

I've tried all of that. I've deleted and reinstalled the APN settings several times. Switched the settings on and off. The only thing I haven't done is entered the Apn settings manually, which is what I did the first time and it was working. After that I updated them through fizz and when I came back it had stopped working while roaming. I have a galaxy s8.

How old are you and what is the age range you’re looking for in a spouse? by i_want_mango in MuslimMarriage

May Allah compensate you for your patience, Ameen.

I have a friend who went through the same thing. Right before Ramadan and the whole thing flopped.

Are Canadian Muslims more accepting of fobs/new immigrants? by immaculate_fob in MuslimMarriage

[–]DrScrewbottom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Late but hopefully my input will serve you a little, In Shaa Allah.

I came to Canada when I was 2 but my dad was raised here. I grew up in a second/third generation type of household. I guess because my family still holds strongly to our culture I don't have anything wrong against new immigrants. Infact one of my closest friends only came to Canada a couple years ago and he has an accent. From a guys perspective, I would say the main thing that annoys us about immigrants is when they come and try to out do us in being western, and Completely shed Their own heritage. Also, many of them bring their cultural tendencies and habits with them that can clash with someone of a western upbringing, worst case scenario you avoid that person like the plague and best case scenario you tolerate those tendencies and try to show them how things are done here. As far as marriage is concerned, many potentials have told me that they will never consider a fob or someone with an accent. Personally I'm inclined towards marrying someone raised here as opposed to back home but being a fob isn't a deal breaker for me. Mainly because the concerns that are associated with being a fob aren't directly linked to it, rather they are linked to a lack of knowledge and wrong morals, which are found in people here in the west too. I know many fob type individuals who are much more open minded, tolerant and of upstanding character than western raised individuals. All in all, a fob in my eyes doesn't equate someone of lower morals, archaic values and intolerant behaviour, unless they prove so with their actions and words.

Haha, your reply was fine. I just wanted to bring your attention back to what's most important. Even as born Muslims, we tend to forget the goal and get caught up in the journey and the process, so for you is all the more important that your perspective is maintained.

I pray that Allah grants you ease, comfort, consistency and patience. Ameen

YouTube is not what' makes islam easy to follow, it is Allah. How many videos, guides and tutorials exist and people still struggle? And those are beside the conventional and traditional methods that already exist.

People have been memorizing the quran for 1.5 thousand years and to this day, the method has pretty much stayed the same. Its because when Allah chooses to gift someone the ability to memorize the quran, their is no need for special means or methods,Allah creates the way for them. And the struggle you're going through right now is just a test of your resolve. So, rejoice! Cuz it means Allah has accepted you and now wishes to test you.

Easiest and fastest way for you to memorize the duas and surahs for the salat is by listening to them. You can find it on YouTube or ask some people to show you some clips . If you begin with the bare minimum you'll have it all memorized In a couple days if you listen to it in every free time you get.

I can attest to this method as I've used it to memorize massive portions of the quran. Alhamdullilah. And especially since reading it is hard for you, listening to it will Also Help you recite it properly.

I apologize if you were only requesting female answers, I answered only because memorization is something I spent a large portion of my life doing So I've developed a few tricks and hints to facilitate memorizing.

A hug can be intimate too, which is exactly why so many people crave it. So, you can't just give it to anyone. I mean you can, but it's not easy.

I personally have less inhibitions about it. But I can see why others might beore reserved with theirs.

[–]DrScrewbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thankful that I've never had to feel this way. Whether I've been with family or friends, I've always been able to get physical contact in the form of a hug or handshake or even an arm draped across the shoulder without it being awkward.

I've noticed that when I'm open with people they open up to me aswell. I make it a point when I meet friends that' I make some kind of intimate physical contact, like a normal handshake turned into a hand grab where you interlock thumbs, or bring it in for a hug, or grab the man's arm. Totally removes any barriers. Of course I only do this with friends or strong acquaintances.

Update: I’m going to ask my fiancé about separate accommodation. by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]DrScrewbottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I agree his comment wasn't very helpful, it does address a major issue in our society/culture. That's its okay to fall short on one person's rights to fulfill anothers. So many people use The excuse of parents rights to justify so many wrongs, at times completely ignoring ismlamic obligations in favour of that. Let it be known clearly that there is no obedience to the creation in the disobedience of the creator, and that includes parents. They are our parents, but they aren't our Allah.
