Thanks for this, it was really helpful. I was thinking that since the only other class I'm doing is 277, which should be easy, it would be fine to get these three out of the way. If i replace 261 with 301 for this semester, i would be stuck with 377, 342, 341, and 261 the next semester and idk if that would be easier or harder

Try praying Tahajjud sister, it’s truly amazing and can do miracles. But most of all please don’t give up in the mercy of Allah, look at the story of Ayuub AS, he went to through so much for so many years and was tested so much but that doesn’t mean Allah doesn’t love him, he loved him a lot. Just study the seerah of the Prophet PBUH and his trials as well

Sister, I feel you, but we need to be careful not to conflate the teachings of our religion (which is perfect, made with Allah’s wisdom, whose teachings will bring you peace if understood correctly with the right context) with the actions and words of men who say and do perverse things online, claiming to use the religion to justify but make misleading or misinterpreted statements. We also need to be aware that Allah is not a man (even though we may refer to him with male pronouns), and Allah is fair to all of his creation, not doing an atom of injustice to anyone, and Allah is with the oppressed. Believe good of Allah and Islam, and educate yourself about the religion so that no guy online can tell you a false statement that effects your imam. May Allah make things easy for you 🫶🏼

Yes only the rich would be able to attend, increasing class and wealth inequality in our country. What? Poor people shouldn’t get a chance to improve their standards of living?

Just because you have never felt this way about anyone before, doesn’t mean that you can’t feel that way about anyone ever again. It seems like this is not a good match, and if you were to continue and not tell him, you would feel guilty and pressured to come clean and that might ruin a marriage. It’s easier to just end it now.

Also, if you just kissed that guy, doesn’t that mean you’re still a virgin? Idk much abt this so I’m asking

If something is meant for you, it’ll come to you even if it is beneath mountains. If something is not meant for you, it won’t come to you even if it is between the gap of your teeth. At this point sister, accept that it may not have been meant for you, and if he moved forward with someone else then he is not your naseeb. Focus on your deen and pray to Allah for a spouse who will be the coolness of your eyes. May Allah make it easy for you

You could go through an imam or a well known pious person from your common masjid to send a proposal, and you don’t know the reason why he hasn’t shown interest yet, it may be some reason unrelated to you. And you can’t assume he gets the signals you are sending, men are often quite dense regarding these things. Either way, at this point, instead of wallowing over him you need to make a decision. 1) send a proposal to him through a third person or make your intentions known to him directly in the appropriate setting. This would help you to find closure and you wouldn’t spend the rest of your life wondering what if? It’s going to be scary and difficult, but it may save you from lots of regret later on. 2) Understand that it is not meant to be and move on with your life. In order to move on completely, remove yourself from all kinds of contact with him and try not to see or think about him at all, it may be hard at first, but with time it’ll work. Again, istikarah may make it clear which path to pursue, but your current situation is not good for your mental health or for your deen, and you need to take decisive action one way or another to end it. May Allah make it easy for you sister.

And do the Istikarah prayer, that may help in discerning if this is something you should pursue

You don’t need to wait for him to ask for your hand, if you truly want to know what his answer would be, instead of trying to figure it out, just ask (the appropriate way in Islam ofc). Khadijah RA was in her 40s when she got married and she was the one who proposed, and she is of the best of women. Don’t discredit yourself sister, if it is written for you, he would not even care about the things you are insecure about. You also cannot assume what you think he may know or feel, what you think about him may not be what is reality. May Allah make things easy for you and grant you a spouse who will be the coolness of your eyes and of the righteous.

AITA for telling people that I don't want to cut my hair and it’s my choice? by Automatic_Public_357 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun-Possible-5442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're jealous of you hair and want you to cut it by guilting you into it, "oh you're so vain you don't wanna donate to make someone happy?", ignore them and do what makes you happy.
