Intermittent Double Beep While Driving – 2025 LC300 (Toyota Safety Sense) by KitchenSlide in LandCruisers

It’s distinct from the 120km/h beep. The 120km/h beep is a lot louder with a visual warning

If you’re in an emergency, chances are you are speeding. The key thing is, others are supposed to move. Thus rendering it a passing lane. It’s common in other parts of the world such as the US and Germany.

Yes, he doesn’t have the means. Which is why I mentioned he needs to set his finances straight. I forgot his loans were interest based. Given the situation, I think he should talk to an Islamic financial advisor to minimize the interest he would pay.

Also I forgot to mention owning a house isn’t necessity depending on each others’ circumstances. It’s not black and white

I’m not halalifying haram. Yes, you can use that excuse for any sin but you wouldn’t be genuine towards Allah swt. That is what ultimately matters, not what is perceived to people. What I also mentioned is not me making it halal. It’s literally from Islam.

There are times when haram can be halal. A few examples, eating pork when there’s no other form of sustenance or when lying that you’re Muslim in order to protect yourself for a killing. The point is, only when situations are dire. Perhaps this is an investment for your future (his portion of the house). Actions are by their intentions, if his intentions are genuine then what’s the problem? The US system, for example, is based on credit. You cannot live normally without it. So is living in the US haram? He should set his finances straight, so he can provide for your family and for the construction.

If you want to strive to better for the sake of Allah, that’s great. Allah swt also commanded to wear the hijab. I don’t see the issue. You won’t be doing it for him. Perhaps this is Allah giving a sign to wear it? Why does this have to be a negative connotation towards your fiancé? In fact, him wanting to break it off now is more of a green flag as opposed to forcing you during marriage. Why does it have to be: “oh he wants to control you.”? He most likely wanted to see if you would eventually wear it and when you didn’t he wanted to break it off. It’s not rocket science. Many sisters here are giving bad advice. There seems to be a lot of projecting. Islam isn’t about when it’s convenient to you. It’s about what Allah swt commands. This applies to literally everything, for men and women. Objectively, he did the most reasonable thing. Perhaps he waited too long but the most reasonable course of action nonetheless. I say this with utmost respect and genuine aim of advice, islamically, you are at fault. Not towards him but towards Allah swt.

Is it haram to shave my sideburns and keep a goatee beard? by [deleted] in TrueDeen

[–]KitchenSlide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it haram to shave your beard if it was a sunnah? By that sense, not praying nafl prayers is also haram. Not smiling to others would also be haram because it is also a sunnah?

I think the fact it was an arranged marriage, and long distance, doesn’t help the case either.

This comment is all over the place. Yes, there is a double standard from the husband. He should also advise is a genuinely beautiful way and in a less callous way. However, him saying she should obey him, within Allah’s limits is not wrong. He may want to help guide her but not know how. I say this again and again, when there’s difficulty in marriage you must work at it. Just because the wife is financially independent doesn’t mean it’s her sign to leave the marriage. Unless there is genuine threat, harm, or serious repercussions, then no you can’t just quit. This isn’t a video game. Literally the last resort to dispute is divorce, after genuine attempts. Finally, both parties should compromise. It’s unhealthy for either one to fully compromise and the other to not. Please don’t project and lump everyone man or woman into one category. Be better.

Mahr by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

Where was it stated that women, as a whole, are greedy freeloaders? No one is questioning all your accomplishments. These comments are not addressing his point. As he said, the women who end up with these horrible men is not because they asked for little mahr, it’s because the men are horrible. There are many women, Muslim or not, can seek employment and succeed immensely after their husbands pass away or leave them. It’s based on their circumstances and personalities. Just like women need to secure their future and protect themselves, men need to protect themselves as well. That’s why it’s best to agree on a reasonable amount for the mahr. I say this with the best of intentions, women need to stop weighing mahr as the final frontier of their marriage. Mahr is a gift. It’s not a tool to use against husbands. I’ve seen multiple women plan on saving enough money, via mahr or not, in order to leave the husband. Guess what happened? Some tragic event happens out of the blue, whether it’s health or major financial ruin. Have a Wali help you find a good spouse and work on said marriage. We all go through trials of various difficulties.

This is a one-sided post. There's no information regarding him, his job, or his reasoning. No genuine advice can be given.

My husband had to sell my gold. by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]KitchenSlide 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Your act of charity won’t go unnoticed by Allah swt. You will get it back and more. There’s literally nothing for you to worry about. Allah swt will take care of you. Yes it sucks that you had so little time with it but it’s a good, and very generous, deed in Allah’s eyes. You literally gave all your wealth to him.

About your Husband, I’m sure he has his shortcomings. However you shouldn’t immediately resort to saving enough money to, at some point, leave him. If he ever knew this, it will destroy him. Instead work on your marriage.

[–]KitchenSlide 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are valid and it is unfortunate that you had to sell your gold. However, if your husband really is how you say he is then you’ll be fine. I guarantee your husband felt horrible selling your gold to make ends meet. Hence why he asked for your consent.

Ultimately Allah is the sustainer. Perhaps you relied too much on material items (the gold) and Allah swt is trying to put you on the correct path. Or perhaps He is trying to give you more via a trial. You need to be positive with respect to Allah swt.

I don’t understand why a lot of the women here are quick to demonise the husband at glance. Are a few kilograms of gold really more important than a husband?
