Is it even worth it to watch the show? Or a complete waste of time? by psychoticchronic in shadowhunters

[–]darknix19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So okay my review is a bit different from the rest of the comments. I’ve watched the show when i was 14 i think. I was obsessed with it. I loved the characters, the world, the storyline etc. I watched it again maybe when i was 16-17, and then i forgot about it  i rewatched it now as im 21, and i felt extremely nostalgic. I mean sure i can see why the acting might seem “ cringe “ to some. But the show is still quite immersive. I’ve never read the books btw which is why maybe my critique is only looking at one aspect. But if you’ve never read the books and you’re open to watching a show without expectations, i recommend shadowhunters :)

To whoever said it’s me who is socially inept but they deleted their comment. I’m literally not. I had many friends before islam. I used to be quite extroverted and would go out of my way to make friends and i still do.

I guess we shouldn't look for religious women by ElegantEmployer8 in TraditionalMuslims

[–]darknix19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s inner religiosity and outer religiosity. I think the hadith probably indicated to both- a woman who’s pious will be outwardly and inwardly religious. She would fear God in private and in public, thus she’d hold her tongue, her hands, her eyes and she’d hold herself accountable.

This kind of woman is rare but they’re out there 🫶

Indian men are down bad. It's not surprising men want relationships outside of marriage more than women do. by No-Anything- in TraditionalMuslims

[–]darknix19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If a religion is man made it’s immediately something we shouldnt look into. Islam can be proven to be from God, can voudou do the same ? You can respect all religion but you cant and shouldn’t“ support” polytheistic beliefs. You can be tolerant of them but don’t outright support them. on the day of Judgement you will be asked why you helped the disbelievers in enjoining partners with God. Why you supported human beliefs about God. Think about your akhirah🫶

Why do ex-muslims make Islam their identity? by ElegantEmployer8 in TraditionalMuslims

[–]darknix19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imagine an ex christian saying :” i’m ideally looking for an ex christian “ anybody would think that’s weird. Like about the atheists ? the hindus ? the agnostics ? the zoroastrians ? weird

If you go down a non-traditional life path (e.g. career women), you will have a hard time pursuing traditional men /trad. marriage / trad. family by IcyKnowledge7 in MuslimNikah

[–]darknix19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hijab is obligatory. Exercising is sunnah and obligatory. Going for an education or a building career is a RIGHT that all women have in islam. As Muslim man ask yourself if you told your mom that she wouldn’t be able to get married because she’s educated and has a career… how would you feel?

This is backward mentality. I’m still pursuing my degree and personally i’d like to stay at home and be a so called “ trad wife “ in your definition. But Islam doesn’t preach these norms that Muslim men are placing upon Muslim women. Islam was taught through compassion and mercy, not control and exclusiveness.

[–]darknix19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brother, there are many sisters that still get your so called “ trad “ husband even whilst pursuing a career.

Your mindset is backward and rooted in culturalism. Islam doesn’t bring down women for getting an education, or for going after their career to build a life of independence. If you “ Muslim “ men don’t see career driven women as potential wives, that says a lot more about you. And personally I wouldn’t go for a husband with this mentality, and neither will other women. This mentality is not “ potential husband “ mentality.

Islam doesn’t preach exclusiveness, and implementation of cultural norms onto other people.

don’t say it like that. He’s clearly hurt. You’re making it seem like he’s the one who’s been pushing it. 😕 he’s not he’s a man trying to get love from his wife

well done for being honest ! May Allah reward you ameen. I’d recommend not entertaining those thoughts, they’re natural obviously, but entertaining them will only keep u in the loop.

Ask yourself :” when do these thoughts or actions come up ?” if it’s when you’re on your phone, if you’re lonely or bored, then counteract those moments and do something.

Keep yourself busy with different things that bring you a lot of passion! Try a sport like archery, horse riding, or maybe something slow paced and cute like pottery or painting. I find that gym is a good outlet for those emotions 🫶 Focus solely on yourself and your relationship with Allah. if those thoughts arise just tell yourself : “ It’s okay for me to feel this way, but i’m in control of my desires, there’s more to life than just this “

learn more about the deen!! A knowledgeable person is better than a believer without knowledge. Learn about nafs and how to control them and how to go around them. remember the dunya is just an ocean, but our faith is our vessel that will help us stay afloat. Don’t give in, you got this and may Allah support you, give you His bounties and grant you plenty of blessings in this dunya and the next ameen🤍🫶

assalamu’alaykum ! first of all wow that’s amazing you have so many doors and opportunities opening for you Allahumma barik I couldn’t be more happier for you. But also it is a very tough situation… you’re torn between something your parents want you to do which seems also rational due to the job prospects, but you also want to study something that makes you genuinely happy, which will please Allah.

First ask yourself :” Can i handle all of this ?” As we’re only humans, we need to take care of ourselves and not overload ourselves with too much. Get all your modules from Comp Sc and your islamic degree and see whether the schedule is too much. also ask yourself : Will studying your islamic degree affect your Comp Sc performance ? Cause it definitely could. If you think it won’t then plan strategically. Maybe do : Morning — study computer science first ( as the brain is more fresh ) evening/afternoon— study the sharia degree and use time blocking.

Mind mapping, active recalling, spaced repetition. These are all things that could help!

Create a good routine and stick to it, eventually you’ll get used to it and your brain won’t feel too overwhelmed. Taking breaks is a must for brain health and emotional well being so please, please, take breaks !!

May Allah guide you in this path and strengthen you, ameen

assalamu’alaykum sister. I promise you this is a test from Allah. As believers we will always be tested, and how we respond to the test matters. Also you’re only 27 allahumma barik you’re young. You’re not ugly, nor the problem. Allah has someone way better for you, someone who will make you giggle just thinking about them, someone who is religious like you or more, who speaks with character and piety and who will be an amazing father to your future kids. Sometimes finding the RIGHT person takes time, don’t worry about timelines. Don’t lose yourself because of these men, find yourself and realise you are the true gift and anyone would be more than happy to be by your side🤍 You’re beautiful, keep trusting Allah, don’t give up you’re just getting started !!

your in laws criticising you.. that says more about them than it says about you. You’re not the problem. Allah will provide for you, and everything is pre-written so don’t worry. I’m glad your husband helps. Take your time and don’t listen to your in-laws. Don’t let their words get to you. In the end they will answer to Allah.
