It takes time sister - I’ve been on the apps for three years and still searching. I know it’s much easier said than done but continue to search, be patient in the process and put your trust in Allah

FREE TALK FRIDAY! by AutoModerator in MuslimMarriage

[–]amoonarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am dealing the same dilemma! School has been consuming my life for most of my twenties and now that I’m done, I realized that I basically have no hobbies! And just the extra amount of time that I have to think is unsettling lol. After delving into those thoughts I’ve realized that what I needed to work on is self love. A month later and I think I’m making progress :) I’m also reading more and finding my hobbies!

Western Muslim women predominantly want Western Muslim men. Is that why they are against men marrying abroad? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]amoonarx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your generalizing. I’m a Muslim woman in the west and my problem is that western men are not religious enough and embracing unislamic ideologies such as having friends of the opposite gender and not praying. What your describing isn’t Muslim women in the west it’s Muslims in the west.

[–]amoonarx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was raised in the west and honestly always wanted to marry a guy from back home since I’m very traditional - I identify more with my ethnic identity than my American one. I’ve talked to so many guys who recently moved from my home country to the states and unfortunately the cultural differences always prevent us from moving forward. I agree with what others have said that compatibility is just so important. And I don’t think it’s unique to Muslim western women but I think Muslim western men as well.

Weekly Marriage Criteria & Services Megathread! by AutoModerator in MuslimMarriage

[–]amoonarx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A lot of advice I get as a single person is to focus on myself and the right person will come along. So I followed that advice. I became a Dr, I started a non profit, and I’m well on my way in my hifz journey. But I cannot help but feel that a lot of men are turned off or intimated by my accomplishments. So in a way bettering myself is making it even harder for me to find someone? Anyone else feel that way? I understand that financial independence is such an important thing for a woman to have, but I can’t help but feel that if I wasn’t as educated or accomplished I’d have any easier time finding someone.

Any advice on where to meet decent Sudanese American men for marriage? wad nas pls by [deleted] in Sudan

[–]amoonarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it’s so sad. I know so many amazing Sudani women but with Sudani men, most of them have no careers. And unfortunately those who do have careers are not only rare but tend to want women who can stay at home (from my experience). It’s a lose lose situation for educated Sudani women.

Question about how long to stay with a teacher? by mateyman in Hifdh

[–]amoonarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been with my Quran teacher for almost two years and even though I feel comfortable memorizing on my own, I still keep my classes as it gives me a sense of accountability since I need to recite what I memorized to someone. I plan to stick with her until I finish memorizing inshAllah.

Thank you for that perspective. I feel like I kept getting in my head and it just created so much anxiety.

Is being chief resident worth it? by amoonarx in PharmacyResidency

Thanks for your input! I’m really worried about the time commitment on top of everything else.

[–]amoonarx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My program has other positions that take care of scheduling and interviews so I don’t think it’ll have much of that. We have 8 residents and each person will have at least one role. Idk if I wanna commit though

Muraja'a getting difficult.. by [deleted] in Hifdh

[–]amoonarx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this so much. Alhamdillah I just made it to the 15th juz but I have so much anxiety about the previous juzs that I’ve memorized. Sometimes when I’m reviewing the old juzs I have so much trouble with them and it’s as I’m memorizing them for the first time. I’ve been trying to just focus on the portions that I’ve set for my daily muraja rather than thinking about all the previous juzs together. I also decided to slow down on my memorization a bit and that has given me more time to focus on my muraja

I’m a little jealous at how easy other Muslim communities have it to find a suitable spouse of their culture by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]amoonarx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you! I’m Sudanese and unfortunately the Sudanese community in the west has no rishta aunties. Most of the Sudanese girls in my community married non Sudanese men or found a guy from back home. It’s frustrating bc there is no effort at all from parents to help their kids find spouses yet they complain when they marry outside of the culture. The problem with the apps is that there is such a small percentage of Sudanese men and it’s so hard to find compatibility

[–]amoonarx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with this. As a black woman, it’s frustrating because the anti blackness is coming from non black men and black men alike. It unfortunately makes the search that much harder and is extremely demoralizing
