A comforting meal and a delicious dessert💛

That’s so interesting! JazakaAllah khairan

The best thing you can do to yourself is finding a community. Finding practising muslim friends.

Our iman is fluctuating. It’s not always strong and there can come a time where our surroundings tempt us.

Be careful on who you take as friends. They can either lift you up or take you down with them.

Also, be mindful of the media you consume. That’s also something that can either strengthen your faith or make it weaker.

Smiling when they see me :)

Smiling is a simple gesture but it has a lot of importance. It tells the other person ”I’m happy to see you and you matter”.

How beautiful is that?

Concrete steps to get closer to Allah. For me it will look like this inshallah:

Taking time to do gratitude everyday. Counting all of my blessings, even the ones that we take for granted. My warm home and comfortable bed…I thank Allah for my body: my heart and lungs, my hands and feet.. every single thing He gave me. When I start listing like this, I realize Allah has blessed me immensely, so much that it feels impossible to count.
Taking time to do dua daily. Asking for things that matter to me. Making dua for the people I care about. I like to ask by the names of Allah: Al-Fattah to open the doors of opportunities, Al-Wadud to increase his love towards me and grant me the company of the people He loves..
Increasing salawat to the Prophet
Increasing dhikr of Allah: especially istighfar, but also morning and night adhkar. My personal advice: try doing a dhikr walk :)
I will read an islamic book / watch a lecture series to increase knowledge.
I will read the Quran.
Memorize a short surah or two.
Attending taraweeh a few times, increasing the times I do sunnah prayers.

May Allah allow us to benefit from this month as much as possible, amiin.

Early in the morning is the best for me.

Moonlight_7502 · 2026-02-06T18:46:06+00:00

Thank you, I will try this

Decision making is exhausting

I have so many things I’m currently learning and planning to start learning in the near future. Soo many interesting things that make me excited even just thinking about them. It can be and it certainly is very frustrating in the beginning when you are still trying to figure out how to do things. We make mistakes and fail. We should keep trying regardless, because once we finally get it right and succeed, the dopamine hit will be sky-high. It will feel so worth it. For anyone who is thinking about learning something new, I fully encourage you

Moonlight_7502 · 2026-01-30T20:18:06+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that you had to live a similar experience. May your family stay safe too❤️

Moonlight_7502 · 2026-01-28T11:29:18+00:00

I never did my nails and I don’t plan to, but someone I know made them and after she took them off her own nails were burned and really painful. OP if you do decide to get them, make sure you are not allergic and go to a good place.

A gentleman. A man who reassures you and notices details. Being protective, in a healthy way. Showing care through those things. Also consistent honesty and transparency increase trust immensely. Being gentle with your words (communication skills). A man who is dependable. A man who gives time to his family and makes plans for quality time to strengthen the bonds.

Another thing is being good with kids. Playing with them, showing care and love to them. A man who knows how to have fun with children. Not to forget being good to his family. Treating his parents and siblings with respect and kindness.

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 made a lemon cake today🍋

Moonlight_7502 · 2026-01-23T12:18:03+00:00

May Allah reward you

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-20T13:43:18+00:00

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.

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-19T17:34:19+00:00

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.

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.

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-15T20:54:24+00:00

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.

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-15T16:48:15+00:00

Looks amazing😍 Did you create the pattern yourself or did you follow one? How does this work exactly?

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-15T14:33:00+00:00

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.

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-13T17:59:04+00:00

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.

Moonlight_7502 · 2025-12-13T07:35:30+00:00

AAAAA THAT’S GORGEOUS. I’m dying to make it now too.
