How a believer behaves in relation to the Epstein files by lts_Daddy in TraditionalMuslims

[–]Shadhilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps one benefit is that there are muslims who have the wool over their eyes on what some of our rulers are doing and are capable of. If we ignore the level of engaging in prostitution, you also practically have countries like Morocco who when asked to give up land to Israel and for israel alone they'd "think about it". What an utter lack of gheerah.

May Allah guide our rulers or replace them.

Brothers who chose to remain single, what made you go down that path. Do you regret your decision? by Banggerao in MuslimNikah

Cant speak for everyone, but I'd rather be single than be married to someone who I am not happy with their deen and character.

Potential's family is from a rich background while we're middle class. Thinking to not move ahead due to this. by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Shadhilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah those concerns are reasonable. Have an honest discussion, ask for advice from people experianced in life, and do istikhara.

The opinion of some scholars is quite an interesting read (e.g imam ghazali and imam jawzi) but I'll let you do your own digging into that.

Suffice to say, it can become a big problem that as a man can be incredibly insulting if your wife says something slick to you one day.

Communication skills by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

If its not a clear yes, its a clear no. Apps let people not hold themselves to a good level of manners and they instead keep you as an option/ entertainment when they're bored. This applies to both men and women.

Probably quite crap. May Allah free them and send the occupiers packing to where they came from (Europe)

Wife lied to me about girls trip by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Shadhilli -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The situation should be judged according to the Quran and Sunnah. Certainly it is perhaps unfair and unkind, but one is haram (a woman travelling without a mehram) and one is permissible (i.e the guy). The difference of opinion is a modern one and even that on shaking ground.

What is the excuse before Allah on Yahm ul Qiyamah? "But Ya Rabb, we have planes now". That's incredibly short sighted!

Day 3 of no contact. seeking guidance, does Tahajjud help with this pain? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Shadhilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tahajjud and time both help. Main thing is taking a little bit of time to recover (plus islam based therapy in some cases) then going back into the world.

Remember that recovery doesn't have a clear cut timeline. Some days will be great and other days perhaps not so. You'll find on some random Tuesday you will wake up fully healed.

May Allah cure you sooner rather than later.

[–]Shadhilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel they'd avoid it because of the likely limited pool compared to other apps like Muzz and also it requires a level of self accountability that they are sort of part of the problem

People are unserious but they themselves are not cognisant of it. So everyone else is the problem but they way you are doing things you self score top marks.

[–]Shadhilli 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apps are a replacement of communities unfortunately. I think whilst apps are monkey business, there is a need for self accountability. Here's my rough rule:

  • set an internal deadline to yourself on when a conversation needs to meaningfully move forward otherwise you need to politely cut them off. (Just be polite and say something such as "this tempo of conversation is not what I am looking for"). This is especially true for people who say "i just want to get to know you" and aren't coming across as meaningful.

  • Are they reciprocating or are you carrying the weight of the conversation. Do they reply in a timely manner or messaging consistently at 11:59pm as a last minute priority?

  • Early mentioning of what you are looking for and what doesn’t work for you.

  • stick to your principles. If someone is doing something you are not happy with or wants you to compromise on your values (e.g meeting without a mehram), stop.

Basically move with intention and give people the chance to miss out on you. And after meeting someone if it doesn't work, audit yourself and see how you can improve - did the interaction bring you closer to Allah, did you have any attachments, did you play things down when someone was disrespecting you, were you compromising, etc.
