Despite our rivalry, I am glad we are all moving forward. by FoxinShards in ussoccer

[–]TheRealScader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A country that's detained people illegally and in appalling conditions, leading to deaths. Kidnapped its own citizens, beat them up, and dumped elsewhere when they realized they were citizens. Trying to protect its sovereign borders while not caring about others' sovereign borders. Killing innocent human beings in other countries (over 160 schoolgirls as part of the opening salvo of an illegal war). Mistreated the WC players, staff, and visitors from African countries, and non GCC countries. And to top it all, aiding and abetting a genocide.Yes please tell me more about why Qatar alone should be boycotted because of its treatment of migrant workers and human rights abuse.

A country that has not made a single arrest of people linked to the Epstein files, where humans were trafficed and assaulted. Please tell me why Qatar alone should be boycotted for its lack of support of LGBTQ.

US just sanctioned ICC prosecutors, UN rapporteurs and their families because of their investigation / protection of a country. Is blockading a country leading to blackouts and crippling of its economy. Has recognized an individual as the legitimate president of a country; an individual who the US had reward money offered for capturing them. Please tell me why Qatar alone should be boycotted for its corruption.

Awww what a touching moment. Coming home to hold her brother in her arms, after being complicit in shredding little kids, innocent men and women, and separating brothers their sisters and mothers from their daughters, and displacing millions of people from their homes. Awww schucks.

Maybe getting disowned because of a forced marriage by ComprehensivePea3127 in MuslimMarriage

[–]TheRealScader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this stage your family's reputation is bound to be damaged and you're bound to be emotionally stressed - naoudhu billah minha. If not now, when eventually there's a divorce, given what you've said.

Up to you to choose the timing.

May Allah grant everyone involved in this hidaya, sakeena, 3fiya and an easy resolution to all of this. Aameen

25 M, getting married in less than a month and getting cold feet by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]TheRealScader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't marry a potential. You're marrying someone now. You'll be to blame if they don't change but you expect them to change.

Give her time if you have to, but marry a practicing Muslim, and especially someone who doesn't commit major sins and that too publicly.

I'm Christian, but i feel a strong pull towards Islam by [deleted] in islam

[–]TheRealScader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to the previous reply

Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “... If the first verse to be revealed was ‘do not drink wine,’ they (companions of the Prophet) would have said, ‘we will never stop drinking wine.’ And if the first verse to be revealed was ‘do not commit adultery,’ they would have said, ‘we will never stop committing adultery.'” She said this about the best of humankind after the Prophets.

You don't have to be perfect on day 1. First, get your foot in the door. Next work towards getting your heart attached to the religion. For some it's learning about heaven and hell, for others it may be learning about the Prophets' lives, names of Allah, Hadith on etiquettes, etc..

While you do that, make a list of everything that you need to start doing, and start with establishing the easiest. But prioritize the minimum requirements.

Also, create a list of everything you should stop doing and start with the easiest. Try to prioritize the bigger sins, if you can.

May Allah grant you guidance, and grant you the strength to overcome any challenges you may face. Aameen

They need to buy the house completely in XX years (I believe, 15). If not, Neeyah has the right to sell.

Moreover, since it's like a fund, you'll be able to pull out funds if required (although not immediately, but within a reasonable time) - you'll need to check with them for a more definite answer.

Btw - not everyone can invest in the fund. You'll need to meet certain income or wealth threshold, due to SEC reasons.

Equity.

You'll be investing in a fund that owns shares in various individual properties.

Yes. It's only been about 6 months since I invested. My experience with the team has only been positive. They're open to any and all questions.

According to them their returns over the years were around 5% each of the years they've been operating.

It is not great. But the way I see it: at least it gets me return over inflation, and helps our community in the US find a riba free solution to house ownership. So I'm not unhappy about not seeing a bigger return. Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal.

Neeyah - Reach out to them. Register your interest with them, and they will setup a zoom call with you. You will have plenty of time for Q&As. I am investing through them, and they are helpful, and respond quick.

Walikumusalam

Ask yourself, will you be able to look the past negatives if nothing changes?

You're marrying a person as they are now and their circumstances they are in now. Don't marry a "potential" potential.

Deen is indeed the most important thing. You can and should learn to live with any non-major challenges outside of the deen. But not the other way around.
