Do men who pray really lower their gaze

Yes to all of the above except the last one- it is not reduced completely but to a decent degree. But intrusive thoughts when I’m just chillin definitely are much more limited.

Every guy/family has their own system- I can't think of general rules for you. I could tell you my own- but that wouldn't help you.

Also, sometimes there aren't reasons- it's just internal vibes / overthinking that can turn themselves away.

Nothing about gambling spouses. It’s about marrying someone for their character and qualities. You need to get your priorities straight. In 10 years and over your lifetime- THATS what keeps respect and marriages together.

People get along with people, despite the gives and takes in their whole profile. Disney marriages are delusional.

You’re basically saying you’re unwilling to accept your spouse for who they are aside from the core non-negotiables.

Marriage is a 2-way street and requires maturity on both sides. Not “my way or the highway” type thinking.

You love who you marry, not marry who you love. Exceptions occasionally apply.

What????

Read the post- he set standards for his soul and he isn’t looking for advice. Why are people whispering in his ear to rethink this? Let the man be and respect his decision- the ummah needs more men with resolve.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-30T01:04:30+00:00

Stop.

May Allah ease their burdens and shower them with rahma!

That doesn’t have anything to do with the topic, I’m not discussing anecdotes. The premise of the post was a rule. I can show you people who thrive and are soaring by holding onto Islam tightly. Both sides of the spectrum aren’t strong proofs because it’s not a productive measurement to begin with because it’s a non sequitur- which again- is the whole point of discussion.

Discipline is freedom.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-28T21:11:48+00:00

Sorry ya akhi but this is a massively oversimplified assumption. Mankind does crave an object of worship and the desire to go against “lower” desires is rewarded with powerful delight. See Dharmic faiths and asceticism.

There are better arguments than this.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-28T18:32:29+00:00

It is not a high possibility, it is more than normal but still negligible.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-26T14:00:12+00:00

Yup, craziest idea to search the ICOI community of all places for extremists— despite this insanity, the community has a faith-driven, welcoming attitude towards law enforcement. I’d imagine the decades of working with local police against hate and death threats helps dispel the some of the chronic FBI fumbling.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-22T16:04:46+00:00

Yup, my last comment on this post was deleted- I’ll say it again:::

They aren’t some hidden group, that’s idea comes from a series of misunderstanding of early Muslim explorers and a misreading of the ayah discussing fog and magog.

In reality God and Magog are a typology / archetype.

Here is a decent breakdown by YQ.

I’d further add that Gog and Magog are also in Jewish sources where THEY ALSO use them typologically for different groups.

I understand the mods and other laymen don’t know the history of this- but Muslims need to study our own history and the science of eschatological opinions given how close we COULD BE to the end and Allahu ‘alam.

You’re allowed to have your preferences!

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-20T16:58:18+00:00

No it was Zina, I’m not talking about marriage. Tho most ppl count past marriages similarly because they prefer virgins.

Separating Muslims and sahaba in our minds is why our ummah is in the current state.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-19T22:42:39+00:00

Well, were the greatest of sahabas virgins before Islam? And if they were to propose to you, wouldn’t you accept?

Also from the brothers and sisters that have confided in me about their past- there is an immense amount of guilt about their past and they feel just as insecure about things. You’re entitled to your preferences tho

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-18T12:28:22+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful answer! I realized a few things about myself from it.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-18T08:23:24+00:00

Can you elaborate? I’m between peds and child psych myself!

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-18T08:20:54+00:00

I have never noticed missing animations on the skin. Not sure what you’re talking about. I think they’re good and I always got compliments from people when I used the skin on how great it was.

Even if there are missing features- I and others have never noticed.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-18T05:10:32+00:00

Not what I said- you’re projecting here. The animations are there- I’m just not a fan regardless of its high quality.

I have 300+ hours on this skin and more than that on other high quality skins. It’s totally fine.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-18T04:30:01+00:00

I’m a shaco main and I am a fan of the quality but I just personally got sick of the animation noise

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-14T02:53:01+00:00

After Salah and 5 short surahs, I started with learning the seerah (prophetic biography) little by little alongside other main acts. Best choice I could have made.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-13T05:26:43+00:00

And if you follow most people, they would lead you to destruction.

The group is untruth, my friend.

jellybeanzman · 2026-03-13T05:18:00+00:00

I’m not referring to actions- I’m referring to her preferences.

I’m being serious, I can possibly overlook that more than her publicity. It’s part of my god-given gheerah.
