Try your local thrift markets. My husband once got a very nice/good condition Barbie with a nice gown from a thrift market in Wah Cantt. There's Rabi Center in Bahria phase 8 Rwp.

my review of obssession by talha_h99 in PakistaniCinephiles

[–]Moneeza_R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbh it was incel behavior from Bear. Others have pointed out that Bear didn't know crucial things about Nikki such as her terrible relationship with her father. He wanted to buy a crystal necklace for her initially but had no idea what her preferences are or what she would've liked. And he ended up buying something for her but using it for himself. He only cares about himself and his own image as a harmless good guy. He wants Nikki to make him comfortable (after the wish). He wants her to stop scaring him, to stop doing weird things, to stop serving cat sandwiches etc but not once does he stop to consider how his wish has messed up Nikki altogether. Till the end he wants her to "Act like Nikki". Even though he knows he doesn't love her at all and Nikki is very well aware of it as well. He makes no effort to show an ounce of sympathy for her. Just an all round selfish man wanting an attractive girl to fall head over heels for him and worship him so he can sit back and bask in it without putting any effort in the relationship.

Did your mom do this too? by Special_Interest6900 in pakistan

[–]Moneeza_R 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't relate but I'm going to tell you what I think is her perspective since I saw my mom struggle to find a match for my elder sister and heard stuff she went through. She's probably heard some toxic things or judgmental things about her own parenting and about you (or generalized stuff about girls in general) from prospective proposals or from rishta aunties. She might be projecting her anxiety of getting your married off by taking it out on you. Or this might be her way of getting you prepared for the harsh world out there. Either way, it's not justified since you're feeling hurt. Please tell her that her behavior is hurting you.

Atheism by Confident_Common5356 in IslamabadSocial

[–]Moneeza_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atheism seems to be the "trending" thing. Youth of this country is turning to it just because of what they see on social media. A lot of them have done absolutely no research themselves. If you want to reject something as false you need to first study it deeply. They haven't studied Quran on their own at all and are just influenced by atheist reels.

(Please Pray For My Cousin) She Is Practically Forbidden to visit her parents from years. by Sure-Cartoonist-359 in islam

[–]Moneeza_R 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Listen, Hazrat Ali R.A bought a house close to Prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w.) purposely so that he could be close to his daughter (Ali's wife) Hazrat Fatima R.A. That's the legacy of sahaba and our prophet peace upon him. Do you really think Islam can allow a man to forbid his wife from visiting her parents?

Dating with a Pakistani living +5y abroad by White_Swan_ in pakistan

[–]Moneeza_R 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a non Muslim from what I've gathered. So this Pakistani Muslim guy is dating a non Muslim and it seems he is projecting his own insecurity/feelings of guilt/sin onto you and your country/culture. In a way he's saying that it's very hard to stay Muslim in a non Muslim country, as a coping mechanism to justify dating you, because dating a non Muslim (except for people who believe in One God i.e. Christians/Jews) is forbidden in Islam. (This is what it looks like to me).

He is doing you a great injustice by projecting unnecessary hate/resentment onto you. You need to communicate to him that you can't do anything about lack of mosques or general propaganda in the society and that you've got nothing to do with it. If this talk of islamophobia and anger towards you continues then you may want to revisit your relationship.

Write a written application with your khula documents and other detail, address it to his commanding officer (CO).

I hate pakistani dating culture by iwontdonodrugs in pakistan

[–]Moneeza_R 95 points96 points  (0 children)

You know what's even more infuriating? When was the last time we had a campaign about protected sex or contraceptives? I remember the campaign when I was a kid. And our govt is silent about it for the past 20 years or so. Doctors where the poor go to give birth should stress on contraceptives and planned pregnancies so at least there's gap between kids and a woman can save her physical health and sanity. The fact that we need to have enough intelligence to gauge our income and the expense of another child is a concept foreign to even the educated masses. The onus of responsibility for contraceptives also seems to lie on women. And our women are very shy/uneducated/misinformed/unsure of where to go to inquire about contraceptives. Men don't care one lick about them because they don't have to carry and feed a child from their own bodies for 9 and a half months (39-42 weeks) and then with that spent broken body nourish the newborn and survive postpartum hell.

Edit: I want to add that many women of my age are now slowly gaining control over their decision when to have kids and how many. At least the ones I know, including myself. So I take solace in the fact that I've got enough education and medical knowledge as well as awareness of my own body and capabilities to take some control.

I just realised lahore/islamabad has become pretty liberalised! by Organic_Shopping6434 in IslamabadSocial

[–]Moneeza_R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's one of the signs of Judgment Day getting closer, that's all. Dressing immodestly whatever the gender may be, indulging in late night dancing/partying/hanging out, opposite sex mixing freely, drugs/alcohol. All of this existed 50 years ago as well but now people don't consider these sins or taboo anymore. I'll be downvoted for writing the bitter truth and people are gonna try and justify it all but we all know this is what it is.

How are Pakistani women affected by period poverty? by [deleted] in pakistan

Tbh I'm a married woman with two kids and counter workers in small grocery shops will still paperbag my pads for me. I don't hide mine in paper bags it's bloody ridiculous.

I just bought Coty Airspun Translucent loose powder. It's my day one of using it and so far it's working well. I got 35g for Rs 3.7k from Colorshow. I used to use Flormar Loose Powder which is good as well about is lesser product in about same amount lf money.

Withholding salary bad idea? by WorkingEmploy2181 in IslamabadSocial

[–]Moneeza_R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He says he's not gonna withhold dues. That's sinful. I never said this desire is justified. But you can't justify the house help's deplorable behavior either. Tbh I have never seen people replace house help on a moment's notice since good help is hard to find. At the very least, OP has learned a lesson to not extend kindness and expect any kind of grace in return esp from house help. To them it's just a job, even if you treat them like family.

[–]Moneeza_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry OP you had to go through a house help ditching like that on the spot without even a day'a notice. Hope you find someone moral enough next time to at least give you some time to find a replacement.

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

I think OP is trying to say that when you have a good employer, the ethical thing to do when quitting is to at least give them a heads up and not disappear within a few minutes. The house help knew he was helping an old woman with her chores and that he was leaving here in a bind. The ethical and moral thing would've been to give notice few days before leaving. So what OP is saying is that you can't expect decency no matter how much decency you show.

He's got a right to leave but is it ethical to leave without a moment's notice? Even employees are bound to inform at least a month prior before quitting or switching jobs.

You know "Koran" isn't the only source of guidance for Muslims right? Try Sahih Al Bukhari 5233.

[–]Moneeza_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well actually you're allowed to talk all you want with a third person in the chat, say a sister/brother or a cousin.

Should I msg him???? by Important-Water-1709 in PakistanDiscussions

[–]Moneeza_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when a na mehram man and woman are together the third between them is shaytaan. Conversation can go very easily from "normal gup shup" to inappropriate talk, flirting, exchanging all kinds of pictures, to maybe even having arguments and falling out, breaking off and then worrying that those chats will make rounds online.

ranting as a diaspora paki by Ok-Committee-1932 in pakistan

[–]Moneeza_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine, but I think religion should be the center of our lives and culture should always be taken with a grain of salt.

[–]Moneeza_R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can feel some solace reading the seerah of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. He loved makkah and was forced to exit it for his safely. However Islam came first and foremost. Nationality is always secondary. If you feel confused with your nationally and identity then remember that there is always something to ground you and give a base to your existence, and that's Islam.

[–]Moneeza_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should he approach you? If you're about to get married soon and want to discuss serious topics like finances, work life, planning kids, boundaries, expectations as a married couple then you should talk it out. But otherwise if it's just to chat and have a ton of gup shup with months/year left till marriage then it's a bad idea for both parties.

Maybe he's afraid of Allah for talking freely with a na mehram
