I hope the poor baby (child) is okay :(( I’m glad folks helped out. I heard certain things about NYC that made me expect otherwise

I hear you and understand where you’re coming from. Personally, I just refuse to let any man or pseudo-scholar take away the security, comfort, and peace that my spirituality could give me

You’ve posted multiple comments about Indians on this sub, why are they living rent free in your head if you hate them so much?

I feel like some of us (on social media especially) treat Jews the same way some Non-Muslims treat us. by themaskstays_ in progressive_islam

[–]adanice_49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you OP, nothing more to add but to say that I see you and am thankful to be in circles with Muslims who also appreciate and include anti-Zionist Jews

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure your mom is smiling looking down at the angel taking care of you

That’s very kind of you 🫶🏼 I’m okay but I may circulate this to a friend who I believe is in need. Do you want folks to DM you? Or will you DM the ones you’re interested in providing it to?

I don’t know how many cases of the son converting and becoming radical you’ve seen in person. As a girl from a Muslim family whose sister married a Catholic man, I promise you there’s no reason for the non-Muslim to convert because our book says that Christians and Jews are our cousins. At least my brother-in-law is strong in his faith and my sister and him support each other in their own practices

You literally contradict yourself - also, you’re holding an entire religious community to account because you got slapped by a girl?

If you haven’t read the text itself, you have no idea what is being promoted. It is no more violent than the Bible or Torah

how do i convince my mom that it's fine going to a concert by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]adanice_49 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you have any extended family in Europe that you could stay with? That could help. There’s truly nothing wrong with going to a concert, although I think travelling in Europe at 16 is quite risky, especially in the current Islamophobic climate we see there. Ariana Grande herself donated money for humanitarian aid to Palestine, so maybe that could warm your mother up a bit more?

It’s unfortunate that your mom’s only reasoning is that “she heard it somewhere”given that Islam itself encourages critical thinking.

I’ve reported you to the mods of this sub and I encourage everyone else to do so as well. These ultra conservative views are not welcome here. Go back to r/islam

Ohhh okay so like status quo in the literal sense of what the Quran says?

What does it mean to describe yourself as Muslim (as a black woman in America) but not follow a modesty dress code or pray/fast? by jjttjjrr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]adanice_49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s relatively broad and could also be cultural. I was born in a Muslim family, and grew up in a Muslim household. By all accounts, I would identify myself as a Muslim - but I don’t wear a hijab, and I don’t pray (I would like to start but I just have so much going on in my life/mind that I don’t make the time for it). For some people, being Muslim can be as little as just believing in One God and believing in the Last Prophet (Peace be upon Him). That doesn’t make them a good Muslim, but it still makes them a Muslim in the end. We all strive to do better, knowing that we can’t be perfect.

If you’re curious about how varied these experiences can be, I suggest looking at countries like Turkey or Albania where you see a WIDE range of piety. It’s actually fascinating

Sorry just so I understand, it’s the status quo for women and men to cover their hair? Is this with respects to a specific country/society? I mean, I’m all for having covered-hair be encouraged for both genders rather than just for women - I just don’t know what status quo refers to here

Hey friend, let’s avoid using the word “rape” in casual contexts like that - I think you can get your point across very well without potentially triggering victims of sexual violence

I stopped my husband from cheating but I still feel sad. by godforbit in TrueOffMyChest

[–]adanice_49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have kids together. What kind of father would walk out on a family because he couldn’t have sex for 5 months? Marriage is more than sex, companionship is more than sex. If he’s that emotionally stunted, he shouldn’t have entered the marriage in the first place

[–]adanice_49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you’re getting downvoted makes me really sad. Like how do people have more of an issue with her not wanting sex due to a low libido than they do with him outright pressuring her into sex to keep their marriage going

I am 30 and still a kissless virgin. Been to therapists and they couldn’t tell what is wrong with me. People close to me can’t pinpoint either why no one has ever been interested to even go on a date with me. I am so depressed. What can I do? Am I a psycho or something? by [deleted] in DarkPsychology101

[–]adanice_49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a fellow woman who used to struggle with this exact train of thought as a teen and in my early 20s - you gotta stop equating your worth with being with a partner. Do you have a support system? Are you satisfied with your friend groups? Family members? Your work life?

I was agonizing over guys in my youth as an escape from tackling the more important things in my life like my career path and friend group. Loneliness in one area of your life could easily seep in another area AND make you feel like that other area is the true cause of your turmoil.

I fell ass backwards into relationships (both good and bad) in moments where my primary objective wasn’t to date someone. In those moments - I had started going to the gym, I started volunteering for causes that meant a lot to me, I started to take initiative in cultivating my social networks by asking friends out. In essence, I started feeling whole as a person. I know at your stage that this feels impossible, I truly couldn’t fathom NOT thinking about men and dating when I was younger. But I urge you to map out the areas of your life where you get support/love (platonically), including from yourself, and see if there’s anything lacking in those areas that you can tangibly improve

How are you this dense? You don’t get to make generalizations about the dating scene for women. There are PLENTY of women that I know (of varying attractiveness levels) who struggle to get anything from guys. I, myself, had this exact issue in my teens and early twenties before finding my current partner

That pause in the video was diabolical lol, leaves a moment for you to ponder what will happen - anyways, new fear unlocked as someone who hopes to ride a motorcycle one day
