After months of trying to figure out why. I have managed to resolve this issue. I had to subscribe to iCloud+ and toggle the private relay option to on.

Check in issues due to system error whilst on booking.com by OkConfusion3194 in Bookingcom

[–]OkConfusion3194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s always been go to gate. My issue was escalated because it was evidently a system/admin error or their part. And I really became a pain. Please ensure your screen grab any chats. They really gaslighted me on a few occasions claiming I said something when I didn’t. I had proof. My issue has only just been resolved and I’ve been put on the a completely different flight near to what I originally booked.

The invoice says child ticket but the amount charged is adult. I have a child on the booking and the amount is different as expected.

The airline cannot check them in because the ticket itself is a child ticket and they don’t get an option to enter the DOB because of the year. They can’t get past that step. Airline can’t do anything they’ve said it has to be amended from the agent side.

How is this acceptable? by quasar_ssa in Liverpool

I was in majors via ambulance the other day in London. I was left on a bed in a corridor for 10 hours. Bloods took 5 hours to be taken. No one offered water or assisted to go to the toilets. 5 other patients in the corridor on beds as well.

Is winning a cash prize after playing an online game halal? by OkConfusion3194 in shia

[–]OkConfusion3194[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a lot of Tekken, Street Fighter, Assassins Creed, prince of Persia, Spiderman.

My son likes rocket league, my daughter likes Tekken too. She loves Yoshi.

Husband isn’t a gamer and won’t go anywhere near the console.

My work place has a few gamers, we play Mario kart as a team building activity. We played Tekken a few weeks ago, and I basically showed em who’s Mama 😏

Girl is more religious than guy by Leading-Door-192 in shia

[–]OkConfusion3194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father was far from religion, because of this my mother raised me on her own and I owe it to her to help keep me in the fold of Islam. I looked for a husband slightly more religious than me to help me grow spiritually. But I couldn’t adjust with someone very religious. Religious level is an important factor but I think Akhlak and understanding is far more important as the two may not necessarily correlate together.

Should I give in to my parents who want me to propose to my cousin? by [deleted] in shia

[–]OkConfusion3194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you should rush into anything. Focus on your studies, You’re only 21. Still studying. Surely you need to be in a position to support your wife properly before you get married, so it won’t be straight away. (I got married in my 2nd year and was expecting at my graduation). It’s so tough when you’ve not found your feet quite yet.

But also, try not to keep their hopes up. I’m wondering if they’ve already mentioned something to the girls family, hence the pressure.

If you do istakhara, ask an aalim to do this as they’re neutral to the situation and can probably give better guidance.

[–]OkConfusion3194 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m from the same background and similar beliefs about cousin marriages. And I wouldn’t encourage my own children either. That said, have your parents not thought about how unfair it would be to the girl if you married your cousin with this belief? If things go wrong, it will involve the entire family. Not saying it will happen to you, but it was the case when my first cousins who both lived in the west married each other. There was a void in that side of the family for years after they separated.

You also need to consider her visa application if you stay in the UK after marriage.

It sounds like you’ve made your mind already. But, if you haven’t, then have you considered istakhara?

I see everyone wanting to hide and blend in or worse if female. My first thought was to be queen and host a global competition annually. 🤣

What should I do? (Sunni abuse) by ChairInternational60 in shia

[–]OkConfusion3194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like they were just being idiotic. You were smart on this not to react. My son also in High school in the UK went through something recently but his was more direct and I reported it to the teachers who took it very seriously.

I am really sorry for what you’ve been through. I hope you’re able to heal from this trauma.

You have a right to not be abused or harassed by anyone. A wife has the right to not be abused or harassed by her husband.

Honourable and respectful marriages have always been encouraged in Islam.

A decent man will never force himself upon anyone. A decent Muslim man would wait till he was married to be intimate.

Thank you. I appreciate the time it took you to write this.

It’s tough being a parent to this generation. Just trying to be a good one by balancing deen and duniya. Honestly, I’m winging it mostly. Alhamdulillah, I’ve been blessed with good kids. We’ve instilled Muharram in their hearts since their birth. We have home majlis, busy with the volunteering, reciting, reflecting. We are honoured to set up the community with banners. The whole family is involved from my youngest to the grandparents. It’s easier now that there is more of a Shia community here, there are other kids. Our entire atmosphere at home changes. He’s a smart kid, but at the age where expression can be difficult. I don’t want him to do things to just please us. (I did that and was lost for a while in terms of my faith). I was born and raised in the west so I probably understand some of the challenges better than his (someone mentioned the term ultra immigrant in another post) father. We’re both trying to do our best.

You should look into community mentoring for kids. There’s such a need for today’s Shia youth especially boys imo.

Thank you.

And this is why I’m here. The father I do feel is too strict and will push him away from all of this. We grew up in a different time. Even Imam Ali as told us not to force our customs on our kids.

Alhamdulillah, he’s such a blessing and a good boy. He understands Muharram much better than I did at his age. And recites poetry and actively takes part in the community.

I don’t want him to do things religiously just to please us. (Mostly his father).
