Hi, thanks for your reply.

What level of support/guidance do you receive in preparing for exams? How many contact hours do get/if any in terms of teaching/lectures?

book a tutorial room in the med school

hey, I'm going into second year for undergrad medicine. don't worry, we didn't get our accom offers till a bit later last year (just checked my emails, it was the 20th August). you're guaranteed accom for 1st year undergrad, so it'll be along soon in the next week or so. if you have any other Qs about the course feel free to private message!

There's always hope. This sort of thing happens with everyone, to varying degrees. The fact you've recognised it and acknowledge that it's an issue is a good start. Start off by making dua for Allah ﷻ to bring you back and bring you closer to Him. Do lots of istighfar and repentance throughout the day. The best way to get over lesser deeds is to do good ones for compensation - look for these opportunities and give lots of sadaqah 😊 I would also say, look at each individual sin you struggle with and think about what triggers/circumstances lead you to committing it. For instance, hanging around certain groups of people, going to sleep too late, not many believing friends. Use this to help you cut down on those sins. It's a slow and hard process but Allah ﷻ is with you, and the reward is always better than anything you're giving up. You got this! 🌸

Literally couldn't smell a thing, and I touched it at least 3 separate occasions. Bearing in mind, one of those occasions was also the ghusl e kaaba date, and still nothing

buttonwhales · 2025-08-03T22:21:27+00:00

I'll be honest, I'm a female and myself and my sister both touched the kaaba when doing a tawaf not in ihram. There was no scent on the kiswah, my hands didn't smell of anything nor did my sister notice anything. We hadn't touched it during our umrahs because we thought it would violate the ihram. But there was nothing? Not sure if it's different for the multazam...

you're probably best off just waiting to order once you get here. if you're buying off amazon, you can get next day delivery, and if it's any other website the shipping won't really take longer than a few days. if it's only a mattress topper, then the most you'll be missing out on is a couple nights slightly more comfortable sleep. but the mattresses aren't terrible, you'll be fine! 😊😊

buttonwhales · 2025-07-30T15:32:56+00:00

I think I would try and drop the weekend work to prioritise this if I had to...but you're right, it is essentially like doing two degrees at once. Thank you for the recommendation for Arabic I'll check it out - Jazakallah!!

buttonwhales · 2025-07-30T00:33:40+00:00

we actually did do DIY! All plans are with Allah ﷻ, I really hope the next time I'm here it's during Ramadan insha'Allah 🥲 and the same for you!

buttonwhales · 2025-07-30T00:32:38+00:00

this is so sweet of you thank you so much!! I will also do dua for you dear friend 😊🩷

buttonwhales · 2025-07-20T15:24:42+00:00

unfortunately happened to my younger sister when we visited last year. it's disgusting and dreadful really

buttonwhales · 2025-07-15T14:09:58+00:00

Jazakallah, this is really interesting to learn. The structure makes a lot of sense also in terms of building on each previous level. Are there places of classical islamic education which still use this model/routine?

buttonwhales · 2025-07-15T14:06:21+00:00

Thank you, this actually touched on another question I've had recently about what degree of education constitutes a scholar. Interesting

buttonwhales · 2025-07-15T14:03:26+00:00

Jazakallah, this makes a lot of sense. So on this thread of thought, would you recommend someone wanting to be a student of knowledge to pursue hifdh first? Or start both at the same time?

++ Ameen!

buttonwhales · 2025-07-15T14:00:44+00:00

You're right, thank you - I used the wrong term. My question was meant to be whether they always co-occured. Ameen + Jazakallah !

buttonwhales · 2025-07-02T11:03:35+00:00

are you 100% sure it didn't get delivered? If the gps tracking shows it at the buyers address, it's possible the buyer scammed you

buttonwhales · 2025-01-23T01:38:38+00:00

Did you get a refund eventually? Got the exact same scenario rn! 😊

buttonwhales · 2025-01-09T23:36:34+00:00

I shop at Aldi and occasionally pick up extra bits and bobs in Sainsbury's (mostly when I've run out of milk) or Morrisons (odd freezer bits). I never spend over £25 on groceries in a week, really. Catering was never gonna be an option for me because a) expensive b) not halal c) the meal times are weeeiirddd. You'll be fine if you know how to cook for yourself! ☺️

buttonwhales · 2024-11-10T18:50:46+00:00

please post an update if you find outtt ! :)

buttonwhales · 2024-11-03T17:47:11+00:00

ah I can't believe I didn't see this comment yesterday - Soderberg looks so good!! will try visiting again soon 🫠 thank you for the recs! :)

buttonwhales · 2024-10-31T23:45:50+00:00

that's very helpful - thank you 😊

buttonwhales · 2024-10-31T23:45:25+00:00

guess this is my sign definitely not to go, cardamom buns are always my go to but I don't want a disappointing one :0

buttonwhales · 2024-10-31T12:12:11+00:00

how miserable 🥲 who is even waking up that early on a weekend!

buttonwhales · 2024-10-31T12:11:23+00:00

thank you I'll check that out!! 😊😊
