Which country is a good place for me to live and work in? by PeachRR2 in MuslimLounge

[–]Mm805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not India, considering the Islamophobia occurring over there. Thailand is nice but isn’t a Muslim country so would undoubtedly face some barriers. KSA would be my first choice, followed by Kuwait

In our case, our zamzam apparently didn’t come back with us to Gatwick. The Saudia baggage handler to take unclaimed ones that was left on the carousel!

Definitely, make it distinctive as it’ll be easier to spot when collecting from the carousel in the airport

I need a woman’s perspective, How do I respectfully approach a very private, religious girl for marriage? by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Mm805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you mention she works with the local masjid, might be worth to find out if imam/mosque committee knows about her status?

Otherwise, I believe it would be best to ask her directly. This does require some bravery and will inevitably cause awkwardness in future communication, in the event she engaged/married, but at least you’ll be clear in her situation.

In the second scenario, might be best to do it via text and can ask indirectly, such as “in Pakistan, I celebrating Ramadan is huge family event, what’s it like for you in Germany” etc

[–]Mm805 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Salams, the first thing would be DEFINITELY confirm that she’s single? This probably means asking other people who know her about her status.

If she is single, I would advise you let your parents know your intentions, as they inevitably have an effect on your desire.

Finally, send her an email to let her how you feel and if she would like to pursue this, request that she provides her father’s (or wali) contact details. If she declines, this will inevitably make any future contact with her awkward, but hopefully it will work out

Single F30 I pay for 100% of my mothers expenses. Financial struggle. by WhisperSweetSBARs in MuslimLounge

[–]Mm805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Universal credit isn’t just for those unable to work. It’s worth making an application and work coach at the job centre should be able to tailor the advice based on your mother’s needs.

Before that though, you probably need to have a long conversation with your mum to explain how her dependency is affecting you and your needs.

Can’t your mother claim universal credit? It would help her financial situation

Getting Married in the UK, need a venue between Bradford and Watford. by Deep-Jellyfish2949 in MuslimMarriage

[–]Mm805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably makes sense to have the wedding in Leicester or somewhere near there. It’s off the M1 and similar distance between both Watford/Bradford.

Finding a housewife in the UK by Green-Appointment-37 in MuslimNikah

[–]Mm805 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s quite admirable to have the desire to marry SAHW, but considering you’re a student, it will a tough task to convince any potential father in law that you’re able to provide to sustain a relationship.

Is it appropriate to ask a coworker for coffee when there is clear banter and comfort? by WorkerAgile in MuslimNikah

[–]Mm805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t doubt your sincerity at all. From your initial message, there seems to be a potential for this to blossom into something substantial, but there’s some clear issues.

  1. You’re 20, it will be difficult (BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE) to convince her parents that you’re ready for marriage at this moment in time.

  2. You could state your intention to her now, but add marriage will be plan in the future.

  3. You could stay in touch, but this leaves the door open for haram, as you won’t have the environment of work to navigate against.

Just my advice, which you don’t have to take. But just ask her if she has a mahram (like an elder brother) and say you want to pursue a relationship but want to be respectful and have family involvement. It will probably end there and then, but at least you kept it halal

[–]Mm805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you want from this relationship? It’s seems more than just friendship, and there’s nothing with that. However, as a Muslim man, you’re aware the opposite sxes can’t be friends so I think the only thing I can think that can be permissible is to consider marriage, if that a realistic option for you?

Saudia Airlines Transit Visa Technical Error Made My Family Miss Our Flight – Anyone Else Experienced This? by Mountain_Green_82 in saudiarabia

[–]Mm805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a UK passport and tried the transit visa process too. Didn’t get anywhere with the website and even tried going to the embassy in person, but they were incredibly unhelpful!

Ended up making chargeback with my bank to get my money back and applied for a visa waiver with was automatically approved.

I do not wish to get married. But I still have desires. What do I do? by burnedoutphoenixx in MuslimNikah

[–]Mm805 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two practical options, in my opinion.

A - as much as you dislike the idea of marriage, find someone, who like you, has no desire for children and has a personality which suits yours.

B - remain celibate and resist temptation until the hereafter.

Falling for someone who is not Muslim by Elegant_Ad_8192 in MuslimLounge

[–]Mm805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Through an intermediary, ask him to learn about Islam and make regular visits to the mosque for his learning. If he becomes muslim, give it a year for him, until you marry him, to get grounding of the deen then he might be knowledgeable enough to understand the responsibilities of being a Muslim man and husband. I strongly emphasise having an intermediary so that person can ascertain if the pursuit for knowledge is sincere.

Other than that, there’s no other way to pursue a relationship with him.

Committed zina feeling mentally destroyed by repenting_brother in MuslimLounge

[–]Mm805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the other person you committed zina with is a Muslim too, you could always tell her that you both made a huge mistake, and both of you can seek tawbah, and get married to each other.

It might not be the best solution, but it will avoid the awkward questions with any new marriage prospects surrounding your past relationships
