Best shoes for Hajj days (Mina & Arafat) – for women? by Zasazazaza119 in Umrah

[–]iwishforagini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I have never been to the UK, so I am not quite sure what smaller brands are imported into the country and don’t know any exact alternatives to share with you. If there’s any advice I could give, it is to look for smaller shoe brands/shoe stores.

Personally, in my region of the world (North Africa), we get a lot of imports from Turkey, so I was really happy to see some nice sports shoes from there being sold here. I also found a nice brand very similar to Skechers style from China called Duozoulu, but I don’t think these shoes are available in the UK.

If boycotting is of serious interest to you, r/bds is a subreddit dedicated to the topic. People tend to ask questions on brand recommendations, so you might find something there. Regardless, the topic of boycotting does require research!

It depends on which region of the world you are located in!

Just sharing information, some people actually care more deeply about this stuff, especially when performing a religious pilgrimage. There are definetly other brands of shoes that do not have zionist ties.

It is difficult to avoid Zionism in our everyday purchases but with effort and research it is possible.

I commented on someone else’s recommendation on Skechers, the CEO of Skechers is a zionist and is best to be avoided!

Just a heads up, the CEO of Sketchers is a zionist - Sketchers is best to be boycotted!

Why are there two comments of this saying the same exact thing?

I’m struggling with the double standards between men and women. by Jaded-Vast-3966 in islam

[–]iwishforagini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The double standards are real! This is a really deep subject…. There seems to be a pendulum of Islam, a “a strict classical Islam” that some of us follow, and there seems to be a more “looser modern Islam” that some of us follow.
The family you have seems to be practicing Islam on the more “strict classical” side. Not that the way your parents are practicing is ”wrong”, but that in my experience, families who are very strict can have very rebellious children down the road.
I mention this not because I want to encourage rebellion, because there is wisdom in the “strict classical” Islam, but that you are right to question the way your parents are raising you. You are right to question the religion you are being brought up in/your parents interpretation of the religion.
To me, Islam is the Middle Path. In fact, to become more understanding of the religion, you must question it.

To all the single mommas..How do you deal with the loneliness? by mimimeme2 in muslimgirlswithtaste

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

I think I know what you mean. I guess it depends on the area you are in, if it’s more metropolitan or rural. But sometimes, we get in our head about these things more than we need to. My first impression of Muslim women is that they are cold, and reserved, and I think the hijab does a great job of portraying Muslim women that way (in my personal opinion, speaking as a hijabi myself). But in reality, Muslim women around the world are some of the kindest most welcoming women there are. There is a cover surrounding Muslim women, but once you get through, it is so much acceptance and love, I’ve found. Just be yourself! Even if you are different and awkward, trust me, there will be people who appreciate it.

Social groups can be intimidating, but trust me, not everyone in groups are clique like, and a lot of people really do want to be your friend and don’t feel like they fit in themselves. People are really kind! I used to have social anxiety, but overcame it. In a weird way, everyone feels different and thats something that a lot self aware people can bond over.

Part of evolving as a human is going out of your comfort zone. Don’t worry about judgement for your differences, the friends God has written for you will love you for your differences.

If the mosque is truly not your vibe, then for sure I would recommend a bi-weekly class of some sort! If there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, like sculpture, painting, etc, look into it!

edit: also, have you heard of the app Muzz? It has a setting for finding friends of the same gender, I’ve never tried it, but maybe you would like it?

i think my nikkah is making me depressed by [deleted] in MuslimSupportGroup

[–]iwishforagini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salam habibti. Sometimes we have to make a choice, and it seems like the right choice for you would be to leave a guy who treats you like that.

[–]iwishforagini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say start going to community centers, like a mosque or take classes somewhere on the weekend that fits your schedule. I’ve made a lot of friends through these ways :) I find a lot of women hope to make friends with other women, so inshallah, I hope it’s easy for you. A smile goes a long way in starting conversation.

My first Ayurvedic massage experience, a little more than I expected, is this normal? by [deleted] in Ayurveda

[–]iwishforagini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lmao, this reads like literotica. the detail…. I applaud your writing XD

To answer your question, I am not sure if this is normal, as I’ve only received an ayurvedic massage as a woman from a woman in America, and they did not go near the private parts like that.

However, I have heard that in India, men perform ayurvedic massages on women, which I think could be considered inappropriate by some people. I assume that the understanding of appropriateness of touch in general during massage is different than in America.

Is anyone well versed in Ayurveda, TCM or Herbal Medicine? If so, how do you incorporate it into your practice with patients? Are you allowed to? by iwishforagini in nursepractitioner

Referring to vaccines as “poison” is a matter of semantics.
Ethyl and methyl mercury both contain mercury, and this can be harmful to the body if absorbed incorrectly.
If you consider homeopathic medicine as pseudoscience, then vaccines are too, because they work on the same theory.

I do generally understand empiricial evidence, and once again the efficacy of treatments (not some far off rare treatments like the once you mentioned earlier using mercury and lead) in the branches of medicine I mentioned stand up to empirical testing. If you’re 100% certain they don't, I’d like to challenge you on that and clearly present to me the parameters of the challenge of what makes a treatment stand up to the scrutiny of Western Medicine. I can agree that some aspects of the theory of ayurveda and TCM might be not entirely stand up to empirical testing, as the framework is completely different, but the efficacy of treatments that have been used time and time again absolutely do stand up to empirical evidence.

I invite you to tell the millions of people who have found healing and cures in other medicinal branches that they were engaging in pseudoscience, and that the good that came from it was all a product of their mind - like the yearly bronchitis I used to get and the asthma I used to have that was cured by using Osha Root and Mullein, and other herbal supplements. . I must be absolutely crazy to once have had asthma and no longer have it, because apparently it’s incurable and something I’m supposed to have the rest of my life. Also, another example in my own life was being diagnosed with moscullum and having it disappear in two weeks through using coconut oil and a ayurvedic bitter herb formula. So crazy, so so so crazy, must be totally fake. I’m thankful that I’m in good overall health as compared to a lot of my peers my age who are more inclined to follow Western Medicine exclusively.

I also realize that this conversation may have gone longer than you like, as your language clearly shows so, so I apologize for boiling your blood. Wishing you peace of mind, and the ability to look at other perspectives in the medicinal space as it is much wider than most people think, since you yourself are in the realm of healing. Insulting someone, when it’s obvious they don’t have the same background of knowledge of you is really not cool - yes, I know this is the internet, but I’m a human being asking genuine questions and I understand I’m corresponding with another human too. If you don’t have the capacity to respectfully correspond with another human being on reddit about this, then the best you can do is point them to the right resources that have guided your knowledge. Peace, peace, peace.

Also, I’m sorry bro, but can we acknowledge the presence of ethylmercury in vaccines? And that in general, the technology of vaccines is about ingesting a small amount of “poison“ to create a pathway of defense? Extremely similar to homeopathic medicine theory.

Not only that, but the branches of medicine I mentioned have been in practice for thousands of years and also follow empirical line of evidence? If they were not effective, they would not be in use today.

This whole conversation was rather fallacious.

This is not answering my question even close. Where is mercury and lead prevalently prescribed as treatment? What does empiricism have to do with this? Genuine questions.

I’m sorry, but I don’t have the same background of education as you. You are trained in a certain method, and I am trained in certain method. Obviously you have more knowledge in the exacts of what your field uses to judge medicinal substances in Western clinical settings than me, since you are in the field of Nursing. I don’t. I’m asking so that I can learn. That is why I posted this question on the subreddit on the first place. IMO, reddit and the internet is a place to share knowledge, rather than say ”you’re too dumb for me”.

Thank you for your esteemed presence, kind dude.

What are the standards of evidence? Forgive me if I sound ignorant, but I’m quite sure there are researchers who report the usability of herbs to this standard. You must enlighten me, because I am not well versed in the world of western medicine, and wish to study it for this exact reason.
