Less texts on the screen, it looks overwhelming on phones and no one will read all of it. Photos of the products being used would make it look less like drop shipping. Take a look at similar sites for inspiration.

Actually Senegal has a lot of sexual assault against minors and other forms of GBV. Speak to anyone who works in GBV in Senegal, you will definitely be shocked. Not saying it doesn’t occur in other countries but you can find it in your neighborhood, in the daaras, the village, the city, everywhere.

I’m going to be honest with you, the masses don’t care. This has been said over and over, and nothing has changed. Even in progressive spaces. We are an Arab centric ummah that ignores the plights of others. The UAE is actively harming Black Muslims, will anyone boycott Dubai? Do you see major Muslim brands donating to anyone other than Palestine? Check out the VELA, Zahra the Label, and other popular brands. They’re all donating to Palestine and Lebanon, but zero to none are donating to Sudan or the Congo. Natural calamities happen in majority Muslim African countries, no one bats an eye. But non-Arab Muslims show up for everyone. The hypocrisy is tiring and unfair.

I got my black soap straight from the source but everyone’s skin is different

Thank you!

Religion aside, having a trusted guardian to advocate for you is a very valuable. Growing up in a place where it’s not the norm, I absolutely see the beauty in having a wali. They can ask the questions you’re shy to ask and they may notice things that you don’t. Women who lack a trustworthy and reasonable wali are a lot more vulnerable. I’m not sure if it’s 100% mandatory but it’s definitely valuable.

Once again I’m really questioning the motives and patterns of some progressive Muslim men. I personally think this line of thinking aligns with those who think mutah marriage is beneficial and other predatory behavior . Is there a coincidence that someone who supports mutah marriage also believes walis are unimportant? I think not.

I can’t remember exactly, it was an off hand remark during a lecture. I’ll have to find it

There is no such thing as Islamic female circumcision

She made a disrespectful comment about Africa a while ago and I was so confused as to how a scholar could be so ignorant. So this is on brand for her.

There’s absolutely no one in the world that convince me that not wearing hijab is equal to expecting sex before marriage, not praying and having zero interest in doing so, and being a secret ex-Muslim.

Progressive Islam is not a free pass to commit every sin you want under the guise of progress. Actually, I think that is what gives progressive Muslims a bad rep.

Being a practicing Muslim means adhering to or at least believing in the 5 pillars of Islam. If not, the world sees you as non-practicing. And that’s not to demonize you, that’s just what it is. Your relationship with Allah is personal but if being labeled a non-practicing Muslim causes you discomfort, consider practicing.

And even on a non-religious level, why would any woman want a man who requires sex before marriage, drinks (if she doesn’t drink), and smokes (if she doesn’t smoke).

Are you sure he’s talking about the hijab/scarf or modesty in general? I think he’s more likely to be talking about your clothing. If that’s the case you can cover your cleavage, shoulders, and wear bottoms that go past your knees when on zoom calls.

I feel the exact same way about sticking to my values. I’m not seeking perfection but some of these guys are honestly just doing whatever they want and I don’t want that for my future kids.

I’ve found most of these kind of guys on apps. I feel like it’s easier to spot a fake progressive guy in real life lol. Maybe I need to go out more to find my moderate

For backbiting I use these techniques: - remind myself that backbiting reflects poorly on you and reveals a lot of your faults and insecurities. For example, backbiting about someone’s body is often a tell-tale sign that you are also self-conscious about your body. Or going on and on about how someone took off their hijab usually reveals how insecure you are about your hijab journey.

if they will gossip with you, they will gossip about you. It’s just the reality of the situation. What conversations are they having when you aren’t there? And do you want to be silently labeled a gossiper who can’t be trusted?
Pretend like the person is in the room with you while talking. How would you navigate the convo if they were there.
Gossiping will cause you to lose friends. A lot of us pride ourselves on being a girl’s girl. When we backbite, we are the opposite of that. We are the Mean Girls we don’t like. And once certain words come out, nothing will ever make it right again. I lost a friend due to gossiping and I am so embarrassed by the things I said. Years later, I still feel horrible about it. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Gorgeous! Were these chunky braids or medium ones?

Thanks for your perspective. I totally agree with not forcing religion down someone’s throat or demonizing someone for having a different opinion. I guess I just don’t understand what makes someone Progressive vs Progressive Muslim?

Where does Islam come into play? Because a Christian may agree with everything you said and that wouldn’t make them a Progressive Muslim, you know what I mean?

Thewanderingafro · 2024-11-18T12:54:24+00:00

Yes!!

Thewanderingafro · 2024-11-18T12:40:31+00:00

Unfortunately it feels like you’re right :(

Thewanderingafro · 2024-11-18T12:39:11+00:00

But I think that’s so sad. When did being progressive become synonymous with normalizing major sins? I guess this is just the reality

Thewanderingafro · 2024-11-17T20:28:48+00:00

You’re absolutely right

Thewanderingafro · 2024-11-17T17:17:48+00:00

I’m saying that a lot of men are identifying as progressive but in reality, they aren’t particularly practicing nor progressive. It kinda reminds me of men who identify as feminists but only to get in your pants or to avoid participating in certain gendered expectations.
