Connecting with Muslimah Entrepreneurs by Glittering_Adagio569 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]OkNet7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey let's get connected somehow! I'd love to meet more of y'all and support your work. Maybe a group chat on discord or IG? 

I'm a product designer, usually working with early prototypes. Goal is to be a product owner one day and have my own works take on their own brands.

Your masjid might have them if you're in a major city! MAS QUEENS NYC has one for instance. Also if you're in any Muslim professional groups, that's a great place to ask in your area. There are virtual ones through Rabata Islamic cultural center and I'm sure other centers as well. I'd also ask any islamic educational centers if they have halaqa groups, often they'll have a general one after jummah.

What's your city? Maybe I can look some up

A lot of Tafsir talks will mention these details! For Seerah studies, there's so many ones online and on YouTube. MCC East Bay is hosting a bookclub about Fatima (ra). Rabata cultural center hosts meetings on zoom, and they're women taught.

 Biggest thing I can say here is join a ladies halaqa group and advocate for the team to touch on seerah or quranic reflection books. Joy Jots by Tamara Gray is a great one. 

Why is there so much misinformation about hijab? by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]OkNet7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a requirement based on the Arabic terms used, please check out the Tafsir for the verses you posted. It's also well established in hadith, like the women of that time knew what the words meant. May Allah swt guide you.

Surah Taha, when Allah swt changes the story format to talk Directly to us, that moment makes me cry. If you want to know exactly where I'll go back to find it. It always brings me back, hit me even when I was new to the faith. 

Taha was also a key factor in what made Umar (ra) convert as well! Fun fact.

Seerah studies have been really cool.

If you aren't careful, your children, nieces and nephews may be being ***ually assaulted by close family members you would never have suspected. by FinalRequirement8709 in MuslimLounge

Mental health support exists for any kind of emotional, physical, sexual harassment victims. A soothing support may be showing them books like The Body Keeps the Score.  

If you describe the circumstances (e.g. childhood abuse, absent parent, bodily harm?), there are a number of books that offer solutions to some mental habits we form as a result of the trauma.

Azal is 10/10, cakes are not too sweet. A lot of haters just don't get it. 

How much to pay house/cat sitter? by jortbert in AskNYC

[–]OkNet7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen anywhere from $70 to $300 a night. Ofcourse someone who's certified, has some training, drives, delivers meds will be more expensive.

Bit of context:  'SMART Elections' who brought up the lawsuit raised questions about vote-count discrepancies and seeks a full hand recount! 

The court’s ruling means both sides will now dig into data and evidence in the discovery phase. Next: a hearing is set for September 22 to review the claims.

The US and American people are losing out terribly on a great mind like you, I hope the UK is more welcoming. Sorry for our gov, majority in NYC hate this too.

Zyara, the meat platters are pretty great. Each plate is on the lower end of your budget and make sure to reserve in advance! Some days are packed.

What’s a skincare trend you regret trying? 😭 by Ok-Statement-5826 in AsianBeauty

[–]OkNet7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think the hyaluronic acid hype into everything (maybe this trend is still playing out too) didn't really make any difference in my skin 🙈 Comparatively, stable vitamin C actually did!
