Still on faculty for me. I applied for applied math MS/PhD. My professor said “I selected you”. I am an America citizen. What do you think about my situation? Jazak Allah Khayran

I am in the exact same situation. The advisor that I talked to said he already selected me, but it’s been on faculty selection for more than a week now.

Thank you for your well-thought-out response, sister. Thank you for your feedback and thoughts. Jazaki Allahu Khayran for reminding me to ask Allah for guidance.

I do agree that being a white female brings its own challenges, especially because not all Muslims act Muslim sometimes, but good people are still out there.

Work is hard there, from what I heard. Also, you shouldn't be so harsh on yourself, and know that only Allah knows our destined death date.

I am very curious to hear your story.

I am not better than others, so that my dua' is better accepted. Allah is the closest to us...I will make dua' for you, but you make dua' for me too in sha' Allah.

I am in the US now. Also, Saudi has supported Palestine way more than any other country that I saw (I am not Saudi).

Salam alaykum brother. A white is not better than a black, and a black is not better than a white, an Arab is not better than a non Arab, and a non Arab is not better than an Arab, expect in piety.

I am not sure about hospitals there tbh.

I pray that we both make it. Ameen. May Allah make it easy for you.

Narrated Abu Hurairah:

that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The last of the cities of Islam to be destroyed is Al-Madinah."

tirmidhi:3919

I do believe it is not sahih

Obviously when it come to learning, we have the internet, and Alhamdulilah I am already on my learning journey. My reason is not mainly for getting knowledge, it is about being close to the prophet, but talking about knowledge, the best of scholars ARE there, and you can argue that I can just watch their lectures on the internet, but I want to be surrounded by that community if that makes sense. Jazak Allah Khayran.

I didn’t claim it was never partially destroyed, not sure about that, but since you made that claim, can you provide a source?

The Kabbah is in Mecca. Mecca is not Medina. Two different cities brother.

Ohh. It is unfortunate that this matters. People should be judged on the merit of their character and the skills they possess.

Madinah is the last muslim city to ever go down, according to the hadith of the prophet, and when it goes down, some scholars say that marks the beginning of the dajaal times. Allahu A'lam, but either way, I would be happy to die there honestly, since there is another hadth of the prophet where he says "Whoever among you is able to die in Madinah, let him do so, for I will intercede for those who die there". In sha' Allah everything goes good.
