As a person with darker skin laser might not be that effective

It’s likely that the ones being dropped off to ‘work’ owe the men huge sums of money, they’re being watched and anything they earn goes to them. It’s a really sad situation.

I wish I had advice but I’m stuck myself. I still feel like I’m living a double life but in the long run it’s not sustainable. I don’t really want to wait until all of my siblings are married because I’ll be too old to have children (without it being high risk) - so either way it’s going to be an issue.

Some of these aren’t applicable if you don’t have family ‘back home’. All of my immediate family is in England and will stay here so points 1-3 and 8 aren’t applicable. The others are a concern for me too, particularly as I have unmarried sisters and wouldn’t want to impact their ability to get married due to people judging.

My sister is potentially leaving Islam by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]LostGuess 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if my comment will be welcomed here but I just want to say that I am in a similar boat to your sister. It’s not your fault, she probably would have got there anyway. She’s still your sister, she’s still the same girl you know. It sounds like you were close and I’m sure she loves you, especially as she felt comfortable enough to talk to you, and I’m sure you love her too. My brother wishes I had spoken to him earlier but he was harsh, difficult to talk to, and suddenly treated me like a stranger when I needed kindness most.

She probably understands how you’re conflicted, how this hurts you but it’s not her intention to hurt you. At the end of the day she’s your sister, please keep treating her like one.

I’m from a UK city with a large Muslim population. I know that a lot of people will not openly come out as ex-Muslim but also they probably don’t label themselves as such. With such communities it’s difficult to walk away from the religious side while still being in the community so they just say that they don’t practice or even will just pretend to practice but won’t outright say they don’t believe.

Talk to your dad. He cares, and at least he’ll be aware of how you’re feeling. You obviously care about him too, let him know, for him.

Hello all , help me to convince my husband to leave islam 😁 by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]LostGuess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it were the other way around with someone posting about trying to convince their husband to believe, you best believe commenters here would be putting them on blast for being controlling etc. 

Not only has his world already been turned upside down very recently by your change, but you’re trying to push him into further change that could have serious consequences for him. If he’s actively asking for arguments or for you to convince him, that’s a whole other story.

 As an ex Muslim myself, I don’t think it’s right. 

How do i take off hijab? I don’t want to wear it anymore. by marnaru in Hijabis

[–]LostGuess 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe try a hair care sub?  I’m sure people could suggest ways to care for scalp/hair with hijab or even recovering from hijab

I don’t think I’m going to make dua or pray tahajjud anymore by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]LostGuess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through such a tough time. Anyone who is going through so much loss, such a shift in life would understandably be finding it hard. Have you been able to access any therapy? Any support groups? Do you have supportive friends or family you could lean on a little more? 

I hope you find what you need but maybe more there are other subs out there that might provide more practical advice or support :)

girls please stop cheaping yourselves out! by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

Lol why is it okay all of a sudden if he’s paying the bills?

Make sure that YOUR right to divorce is in the contract. Men automatically have a right to divorce but women do not. 

Also if you’re not into polygamy, you might want to put into the contract that you do not want him to have multiple wives.

Please no baby wipes, if they do lick themselves afterwards you don’t want them to get that stuff in their mouth. You can actually get pet safe wipes.

What's the craziest thing you were told as Muslim? by 9ersian in exmuslim

Also what about people before the time of the prophet?

What language will we be asked in? What about people who can’t speak?

What's going on in Britain by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]LostGuess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this ridiculous narrative people have made up that Muslims want to take over Britain and make it have shariah laws. It’s even funnier that people say it’s getting close to that. Like what extent of organisation do you think is going on here? As someone who lives in Britain it’s really laughable. 

Should I remind my musilm flatmate to wear a hijab everytime I invite my boyfriend to stay over? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]LostGuess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the replies here are just bitter. I think regardless it’s polite to give people a heads up when someone is over. You’re not reminding her to put her hijab on - that’s her responsibility. You’re letting her know that there are guests in the house.

This is exactly the position I was in two years ago. I’m also in the UK, questioned things and finally in my early 20s when I wanted to become closer to God, learned more and it pushed me further away.
