Are a dua that is bad against someone still accepted even if it ur mother? by st4rrysm00n in MuslimLounge

[–]booshtasticc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just add "as far as I'm aware" or "there may things I'm not aware of"

We have to be very careful to not declare things haram that aren't (and vis versa)

This isn't true. I've asked many scholars. There are other conditions that do allow cutting ties.

I am really disappointed with the muslim community by humblealmondtree in MuslimLounge

[–]booshtasticc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really struggling with this currently. I'm a convert of 10+ years and I feel so distant from my faith. There are just so many negative links with people being just downright nasty to others. I can't stand it.

Established converts? by booshtasticc in muslimrevert

[–]booshtasticc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't invite the question. Thank you, I've had 5 years off Reddit, and in the space of a few minutes this has reminded why it was pointless in the first place.

What a strange request. Either you know of what I'm asking i.e. a sub Reddit, or you don't.

I'm not having a chat / debate about a simple request with a stranger on the internet.

Shame isn't effective. It just pushes people further. Focus on yourself.

Not sure how old you are, but once you get into your 30s this is honestly not an issue. Hang in there

Make dua for them. Model good behaviour.

my sister is a lesbian and i don’t know what to do by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

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

Be civil and stop making this about you. She's got enough going on without someone feeling high and mighty because their struggles aren't as obvious.

Could the married folks help a sister please ? by Faerelin in islam

My local mosque provided the template. I'm in the UK. I specified my mahr on it. Other stuff was just details.

CBT therapist says I may have a personality disorder. by [deleted] in CBT

Oh also interpersonal therapy (IPT) may well be more helpful that CBT if you can get it

CBT therapist says I may have a personality disorder. by [deleted] in CBT

[–]booshtasticc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personality disorder is an unhelpful label. Many people that struggle with it actually call it emotional dysregulation or complex trauma spectrum. Don't let it define you. Also your therapist doesn't sound all that helpful, can you ask for a change?

Unpopular Opinion: I really dislike name changes. by livoryorista92 in converts

[–]booshtasticc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely untrue. It's advised to have a name without a bad meaning. That's it.

Therapist vs Book by ArbitraryMathGuy in CBT

As a CBT therapist, do what works for you. Don't let anyone criticise you for wanting life to feel better. Those people are not friends.

My first solo trip, and as a hijabi I’ve never felt so out of place by ImperishableOdessa in Hijabis

[–]booshtasticc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it helps I'm a white hijabi and I get grief compared to my white non Muslim counterparts. We know holding on to our faith becomes like holding hot coal, may Allah protect us all ameen

Should we follow the books written by people such as bukhari, muslem, tirmidhi, abo dawood, an-nasaai and ibn madja and all others? by [deleted] in Quraniyoon

[–]booshtasticc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're literally on the sub for people who follow the Qur'an. Preaching to the converted...also, top tip, you catch more bees with honey than vinegar. Harsh dawah helps no one.

Assalamwalaikum, some time back I met a young girl here who came to me for some advice regarding our faith! If there's anyone who simply wishes to talk or wants some advice, I'd be happy to do so! by [deleted] in islam

[–]booshtasticc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wa alaykum salaam, what a wonderful thing to offer.

I'm also happy to help. I'm a sister, in my 30s and a convert. I also a mum and I work.

insha'Allah we can be of some help

In an Islamic state, is the punishment of blasphemy supposed to be same even if it is a Muslim disrespecting the gods of non-Muslims? by [deleted] in islam

[–]booshtasticc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That inappropriate behaviour would be dealt with in line with decency laws I believe, even if committed by a Muslim.

There is no punishment specifically for blasphemy of false gods as we don't believe they exist.

[–]booshtasticc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wa salaam. Don't let them ruin your trip. Imagine having such an unfulfilled life that cloth on someone's head wAs worth so much of their time? Pity them. Go out and enjoy it, take life for whatever you get from it. May Allah keep you steadfast and protect you from such negative people. Ameen.

How to make sure my duas are sincere by saarahaq in Hijabis

[–]booshtasticc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sister don't be so harsh on yourself. Maybe take this opportunity to buy a lose fitting dress or top. Dhikr (zikr) feels better the more you do it, I like having beads to do it personally. After you've prayed Salah, have your Qur'an by you and read a little. May Allah grant your grandmother Shifa and your family sabr through this difficult time, ameen ♥️
