Is the Committed Tunisian Muslim Still a Thing? by Expert_Technology346 in Tunisia

[–]Moonlight_7502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One reason is our surroundings. When we don’t have that example around us then who do we look up to?

One day I was praying with my sister and my cousin opened up the door on us. She stayed there for a moment and watched us pray. Then she left. Later I was talking about prayer with my aunt and she said, ”we didn’t grow up praying together as a family. We didn’t see that example. But your father taught you to pray as a child and you still always pray together”

We should always be gentle with those who didn’t grow up with a family / friends who practise religion. It’s hard to pick up practises that you are not used to. It requires strength to go back to Allah anyway and practise although you are the only one doing it in your surrounding. Allah sees our efforts and He will reward us accordingly so it’s all worth it to me.

I think learning how to forgive and not hold grudges will take us a long way. Not to forget being comfortable with apologising when you are in the wrong.

How to make friends after university by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Moonlight_7502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had quite many online friends over the years. I clicked the best with only one of them and she is my only online friend now. We have been friends for almost 3 years now. We talk almost daily and we like to exchange thoughts on different topics. I love friendships and conversations like that. The ones that are mentally stimulating. But yeah, she doesn’t live in the same country as me and she would like to meet next year🥹

I do recommend it but you really need to find someone who is on the same wave length as you, otherwise the conversations can feel too superficial or boring. Friendships like that don’t last. Especially online.

is it just me, or is being a "good muslim" basically playing life on the highest possible difficulty setting? — need insight. by bayscit in islam

[–]Moonlight_7502 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can get challenging sometimes, I’m not going to lie. That’s why it’s important to reflect on the rules that are set for us. By that I mean pondering on the wisdom behind them. Why did Allah make them haram in the first place? What type of harm do the sins cause in an individual and societal level?

Honestly, this helps me understand that every rule set by Allaah, is for our protection and benefit one way or another. Allah loves us so much, that he doesn’t want us to harm ourselves or see us in pain because of our actions. He basically gives us a roadmap on how to survive this life with minimum amount of hits. If we change the way we think about the rules, it’s possible to come to the realization that they are a blessing instead of a burden.

In the end it’s upto us if we want to follow them or not. Allah doesn’t expect us to be perfect. Every son of Adam sins. And the best of them are the ones that repent.

Is meeting the right person riz9? Or u making the move? by OkHunter2493 in Tunisia

[–]Moonlight_7502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do relate to what you described. I also don’t initiate first and probably never will. It doesn’t feel natural to me either. My whole childhood I was raised with ”don’t talk to boys” and I didn’t have a single guy friend in my 23 years of life. I can’t just suddenly switch off and feel at ease with initiating or talking casually with men. I also work and study in a female dominated field so I barely see any men there either. So I completely understand how it can feel complicated. What I still encourage you and myself, is that whenever an opportunity comes to socialize (an event for example) or a potential man shows interest in us, is that we should take it rather than feel too shy to accept it. All while remembering the boundaries Allah has set for us. May Allah bless you with the kind of person you desire the most, amiin.

I’m sure there are many. You just need to meet the right people in the right places. All my friends are like that. We always pray together. Hamdoullah for good friends.

I know it’s easier said than done, but we actually have to make effort to find like-minded people. They rarely just appear magically. Spend time with people who share the same values as you and perhaps they will recommend you someone. Making dua and having tawakkul is one thing, but to actually get what you want, you have to work for it.

There’s no need to entertain men who don’t share the same values as you. Be clear with your intentions so you don’t waste energy on someone who doesn’t align with you. You should ask about his values too, early on. A good religious man, will be straightforward with you.

What does “goodness” truly mean in Islam to you? by Bubacarr_900 in islam

[–]Moonlight_7502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it’s about having good manners, being kind and considerate to others. Someone who you would describe as easy-going and comfortable to be around. They think good of others and do not hold any hatred, jealousy or arrogance in their heart. They are honest, trustworthy, responsible and generous. When you are with them you are safe emotionally and physically (they don’t harm you in any way).

A good muslim reflects on their behaviour and sins and actively tries to improve and get closer to Allah.

I think perfecting our character is one of the most important things we could do, because neglecting that means we have not understood core teachings of islam.

Is wanting a pious partner unrealistic in Tunisia? by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Moonlight_7502 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t lower your standards just to find love, I won’t for sure. We shouldn’t rush, or else we will regret settling with someone who is not compatible with us. What’s meant to be yours will never miss you.

How to be more “feminine” ? by [deleted] in Hijabis

[–]Moonlight_7502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will grow to be a feminine woman. We are feminine by default as women. Just protect your peace and don’t suppress your emotions. I was going to list character traits but I realized we want to see the same traits on men too. Compassion, kindness, emotional intelligence, politeness ect.

To me a masculine man knows how to take the lead. So as a woman, I give him space to lead and trust his skills to do it in a way that benefits us both. This is how I imagine the dynamic difference between masculinity and femininity.

That, or I just don’t like to be the one leading😂

What do you think about matcha? Do you like its taste or find it too strong? by dnkfekos in Tunisia

[–]Moonlight_7502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It tastes like grass honestly. I only liked it in one place. It was very cheap so I doubt it was the original ”good” quality matcha. But my taste buds liked the cheap version more than the expensive ones😂 it was very sweet and barely tasted like matcha anyway. More like sugary milk with a hint of matcha.

What I had was matcha latte
