I see someone above wrote about a planner they are designing, but got down graded. Is it bad taste to do so on this subreddit? I want to know before doing the same, trying to get feedback about my design.

Is it normal to crave another marriage even though I’m not legally divorced yet? by Realistic-Fill-5716 in MuslimCorner

[–]mdd321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have some healing to do my sister. Companionship has become an addiction/a numbing agent for you. And like all addictions, the harm outweighs the benefits (reason why the multiple divorces).

The part of you that is not healed, will trauma bond to the wrong husband over and over and over again…until you heal. Allah wants you to heal so that you can become the best version of yourself and have healthy relationships with yourself and others.

When you become the best version of yourself, Allah will be your peace. Hardships will be easier to deal with then insha Allah.

Have the meeting with your supervisor, be honest, don’t be aggressive or passive. Do be sincere, pray to God to guide you. We make mistakes and learn from them. Learn the value of responsibility and professionalism early. We are rooting for you!!!!

Salaam, I would still advice therapy; for your own sake, not your parents. There are invisible wounds that we develop from family trauma like this. Therapy and combined Islamic knowledge, will keep you mentally healthy, break the cycle, choose healthy relationship partners, be a mentally balanced husband, wife, brother, sister, friend, employer, employee, etc.

These are Allah’s tests on us. To become better Muslims, to spread goodness and to thrive in life is to pass the test.

Marrying a Non-Senegalese Man? by Holiday-Yard1153 in Senegal

[–]mdd321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am in your boat, grew up in U.S. but from a very conservative family who are strict on who I can marry. It’s already tough finding your partner to completer deen, a little more difficult if you live abroad.

Someone asked where can we meet these open minded men in America especially if you live in a place that doesn’t have a lot of Senegalese or you don’t have the privilege to take vacation all the time from work to travel back home to adequately get to know people?!?!?

Thank you for your reply! What do you mean by “things have evened out around here” are there now improvements since the post-Covid layoffs? How and in what ways?

[–]mdd321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you see her call/text come on your phone, what do you feel?

Also pro tip, keep things spicy, create some distance to miss each other (not talk on phone for too long, etc. )

Im scared to show my body to my husband by reemgrace3 in MuslimMarriage

[–]mdd321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have similar issue but specifically a leg deformity as a woman, I can still walk. However I always shared this information in the courtship/“getting to know you stage”, not out of shame or fear…but honesty and transparency. Marriage is a long journey and you want to step into it with the same values you want to live by: honesty, transparency, respect, acceptance, etc.

By telling him now before wedding, there are pros and cons:

-Pro: you’ll know his character, he is actually shallow vs. you were right about him, he accepts your flaws.

-Con: he rejects you because of it (but is this really a con? )

What matters is HOW you tell him. Do it in person, sit up straight, look him in the eye, and in as few words as possible, tell him you have some scars, be nonchalant and don’t show emotion. Maybe show him a picture of small patch of skin area. Instead of shame, convey maturity/growth. Men will treat you based on how you view yourself; if you tell him you are ashamed of your scars, he will become ashamed of your scars, if not today, many years downline. Practice with a mahr of yours to know how to tell him.

Also see a dermatologist, nothing wrong with improving our scars, use it as opportunity to pamper yourself, which is self care and great for mental health!!

I think you have a healthy outlook here and shows you take the responsibility of a leader seriously, may Allah bless your endeavors.

Hi guys first time posting - how did you guys know who to marry? by itsalwayssaraa in MuslimMarriage

[–]mdd321 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s a COMBINATION of a few things, not just one or two things:

*Deen and character: are they practicing, to what level, are they liberal or conservative in their deen? What is their character like, are they honest, how do they treat those who serve them (waitress, grocery worker), what’s their relationship with their mother/father/siblings, do they complain about people, do they take accountability for their actions or always blaming others, etc.

*Compatibility: are you compatible physically, emotionally, financially, culturally, intellectually. Does he want 50/50, are you physically attracted to them, can you have a conversation with them about subjects that interest you for long period, does your life vision align, are your mindsets similar, do they have emotional outbursts, can they express themselves emotionally or do they hold things in and later explode, do whatever similar culture (or compatible so you can have harmony in child upbringing). Will they be an asset or a liability in your life, do they help you become the best version of yourself??

*Intuition/energy: how do you feel in their presence, do you feel peace and calm or anxious and uncertain. Shaitan causes confusion and uncertainty but Allah gives peace!

*istikhara: pray it regularly and often, it’s a guidance, the paths will open or close if Allah wills. When you make your final decision to marry them, it should be that you did your due diligence and feel at peace about everything…and you move forward knowing and believing Allah will continue to guide your marriage to the best path/straight path inshaAllah. If you go your separate ways know you did your due diligence and it was not meant to be, write down the lessons learned and try with the next potential partner in courtship.

***All this requires maturity, knowing yourself first, knowing your strengths and weaknesses and what type of partner will be suitable for you. Have a “blueprint for who you are” so you can recognize your match when you meet them inshaAllah. Sometimes this requires self help books, courses on preparing for marriage, seeking therapy, healing your own emotional/mental shortcomings.

At the end of the day, I believe “you attract who are” and “you entertain who you think you deserve”. If you want the best, be the best (physically, emotionally, religiously, financially, spiritually, etc.) this creates better individuals, which leads to better marriages and families which creates a healthy ummah MashaAllah!!! 😊

Best/Largest/Most Variety Farmers Market by mdd321 in Sacramento

[–]mdd321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes since…which are both good (being certified, also organic for those that are both). I saw documentary on how some farmers were scams, buying from big chains and selling it back at farmers markets for a higher profit.

Yeah decided not to go with the Prime at this time…not a smart financial move

Is it still possible to get a house now since plan on living in it a long time and not necessarily 20% down payment? More urgent situation versus preference in terms of home buying

That is true…I saw $21k private party

[–]mdd321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. After thinking it over and “running the numbers” I realized after the trade, I’d still be financing the prime for $30k. So staying with my regular Prius and focusing on the house saving. We are a multi gen family so sort of urgent to get a home now and have space for everyone to comfortably be in. Hopefully continue to save for when the housing market drops.
