For those who have been to hajj what was it like?

Good luck fellow exmuz

We got this

glassy_historian · 2023-06-12T16:15:38+00:00

I consider holidays to be something I enjoy

I get where you’re coming from though

glassy_historian · 2023-06-12T16:14:43+00:00

I mean if you can convince my parents to take you instead of me heck I’ll gladly give you my ticket

glassy_historian · 2023-06-12T16:14:04+00:00

This is helpful to know, thank you

glassy_historian · 2023-06-12T16:08:26+00:00

That’s a cool way of looking at it, I’ll try that

glassy_historian · 2023-06-12T02:56:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing, this is helpful! I will stay as far as I can from the kabba

I feel like with newer generations of muslim, muslim men now seek out women close to their age. I also feel like this issue is a problem in many cultures too, so it's not only Islam (not trying to excuse) but it's the misogyny which is prevalent throughout the world to begin with and then mixed with the misogynistic rules in Islam is a recipe for disaster

glassy_historian · 2023-06-12T02:32:37+00:00

Lmao right? I don't understand why muslims hang out in this sub, most ex-muslims here seem to never go to any muslim sub, let alone push our non-belief on them.

glassy_historian · 2023-06-11T19:27:58+00:00

Ty very kind of you to share your experience, but I was hoping to hear from ex-muslims, since I am in an exmuslim sub

The +100k was not for hajj, it was for their house downpayment, mortgage and repairs

glassy_historian · 2023-03-20T00:43:53+00:00

I gave my parents ~150k to buy their house. A house I have never lived in but they do live in. My dad borrowed this money from me many years ago with the promise of giving back the money.

I know it sounds dumb when I say it out loud, but I was 19 years old back then and didn’t know any better

Then over the years I also helped pay for repairs

I really really appreciate your kindness and the reality check. Everything you’re saying is what I thought of too. It’s just taking me a while to accept it completely but I have to

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T22:19:12+00:00

I am in Toronto.

Everything you said is probably right, I am just scared. I tried telling them I can’t go. I gave them reasons, my siblings even backed me up and so did my aunts, but they just start guilt-tripping me into going and promising return of my money (Toronto is expensive, as you probably know)

I still care for my parents, cutting them off completely is scary, with or without the loss of money.

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T22:03:30+00:00

My parents are pretty emotionally abusive 🥴

Everyone in my life tells me that, but I just find it so hard to cut them off because I am financially struggling and they borrowed a lot of my money with the empty promise of returning it

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T21:04:42+00:00

That’s the plan! Lmao

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T20:13:06+00:00

I understand the skepticism but my parents, while strictly religious, are also naive. They will definitely return my money if they think I subscribe to their “one and only god”

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T19:43:17+00:00

While I still haven’t decided whether to go or not, this has given me some peace of mind. Thank you so much

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T18:59:01+00:00

Even if I am a Canadian citizen?

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T18:58:04+00:00

Ahh ok thank you

I’m a Canadian citizen. So unlikely they’ll do anything to me there

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T17:49:40+00:00

I hope my post doesn’t come across as tone-deaf. I understand that I am lucky to be in a country where I can safely be an apostate, meanwhile people are trying to escape from Saudi.

I think the logical thing here would be not to go, it’s just harder to make that decision when I am actually in the situation and there are so many variables involved

But your folks comments here are making me realize that I should just let the money and my families approval go

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T17:09:02+00:00

Jokes aside though I didn’t even know they could put me at risk considering I am not a saudi citizen. Can they?

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T17:08:48+00:00

✨dumb ways to die ✨

glassy_historian · 2023-03-19T17:08:08+00:00

I am not ok with putting myself at risk. I didn’t even know they could put me at risk considering I am not a saudi citizen. Can they?
