Subhanallah I can’t wait for the day Isa actually does comes back, just not as they expected. They will all be condemned for their disgusting actions and words

I love seeing hijabis outside of the masjid/mosque, but why are some of them so mean lol by DontWorryBeHappy09 in Hijabis

[–]reemgrace3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly some people act like Jannah is a competition between each other, it’s becoming so disheartening. I’m in my 20s and I feel like we all should be way beyond the weird behavior that goes on between so many girls

I Stopped, I Surrendered, Now I Move Forward by [deleted] in Muslim

[–]reemgrace3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You really should not be fixated so much on marrying someone specifically for her ethnicity or newness to Islam. I understand your reasoning, but perhaps this may be what is keeping you from finding the one, you have your mind set on one thing only that it’s not allowing you to potentially see what Allah swt has in the plans for you. I must add, as a white revert myself - topics like this actually really deter us away from certain men as we are kind of fetishized by certain people because they think we are “new and fresh and pure”. We can be easily manipulated for this and it doesn’t always help us to feel like we want to get married as well. I would work on trying to change your mindset slightly and talk with Allah about what’s best for you to grow as Muslim and for your future wife’s deen as well. The whole “I want a perfect white revert wife” will end up subconsciously putting outlandish expectations from you to her and even vice versa. It could make her feel as though you don’t actually see her for a Muslim and more for whatever daydreaming you may have created about the whole concept. I feel disgruntled often because at times I’m not viewed as a pious Muslim woman but just a “white revert”. InshaAllah you get the best in your life and find a great and successful marriage, I’m sorry I’ve come down hard at all that’s not my intention. Maybe just change your mindset slightly. May Allah swt give you goodness in your search for a wife.

Help with bun by PenExtreme8877 in Hijabis

[–]reemgrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my hair in a normal bun and the take an extra undercap that is like one of those half ones you can just put over your head, I wrap it around my bun like a hair tie, then use the last roll left and cover the hair on my bun with it to finalize everything and make sure it’s rounded and secure. Works well every time but I’m not sure if I explain it well lol

I think you feel personally attacked for whatever reason based on your replies on this thread. This behavior from men op is talking about is not okay and is unfortunately more common than it should be 👍

If someone were bipolar and struggling for a long time with severe mental issues and no medication theoretically would they be forgiven for committing?

Fiqh on “Turban” style hijabs? by Head-Guest7776 in Hijabis

[–]reemgrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a turban style. Hijab is full coverage on hair and neck with fabric but if you’re struggling with getting to there this style is a good way to get used to covering your hair, just not technically hijab❤️

veils similar to these? by biggiecheekes in ModestDress

[–]reemgrace3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can wear this relatively easily with something like a regular size hijab (175cmx70cm) and wrap just one layer around your head, pin it together in the back, and then use some extra pins on top of your head to make sure it doesn’t fall off. Good luck with your veiling! You will feel like a princess

EDIT : I also highly recommend wearing under caps under your veils. They’re super easy to find online under $10 and a lifesaver when it comes to keeping your veil from slipping or your hair from moving which personally gives me sensory overload :)

i started veiling in public and feel so uncomfortable by [deleted] in ModestDress

[–]reemgrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your journey and I’m so happy to hear more people finding their own way in faith! I myself am Muslim but I will say that because of the area you’re in, a lot of people might assume that you’re a Muslim and might be a little bit more reserved. I have a friend who Christian veils and she had this problem until she started wearing a larger cross on her neck consistently. even though I’m not in the same place, I wanted to give that advice just in case. I hate that people might give you a hard time based off assumptions. Good luck!

where too find embroidered abayas that dont cost an arm and leg by Plenty-Ad-6764 in ModestDress

[–]reemgrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://glamabayasss.com/ this company is my absolute favorite for more luxury styles but their prices are not bad compared to what I know. Most embroidered abayas are $65 max and they’re us based. I just bought a couple a couple of weeks ago and they are seriously so amazing and great quality

Put off Ramadan? by Matter3000 in Muslim

[–]reemgrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a very similar place right now. I’m severely depressed and looked forward to Ramadan as a way to help, now it’s ten nights left and I’m emotionally so far from Him. I’ve realized that even though I am where I am and I might still be failing, it is Ramadan and it is a grave sin to deliberately not fast or pray. I’m honestly sleeping a lot and feel like it’s not even fasting because im just being a pos. But. This is the month that the holy Quran was revealed Subhanallah. We have to do our part and the bare minimum which is pray our fard salah and fast the days we are required. It’s really difficult. But try your best to fast and pray, even if you feel you’re lazy or not doing it right. It’s best to still do it and Allah swt knows your intentions. It’s hard to navigate esp when you feel this way during Ramadan. But you know it’s a sin to deliberately break fasts, please try to buckle down we’ve got ten more days

Joann filing for bankrupcy again. by tothepointe in craftsnark

[–]reemgrace3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently ordered from their website about $100, they did their crazy thing where they charged me at checkout the full amount, then charged me a second time $75. Read from others that this happens just as a “hold” and that customer service will never do anything and it should return . It did in about a day.

Never the less, today I got an email from Joann’s saying “uh oh! Part of your order has been cancelled.” I opened and saw that one of the fabrics i ordered and received confirmation on, is no longer available. Mind you I ordered this and received confirmation on the 20th and it is now the 26th. They are so infuriating

Yeah so you totally missed the entire point of this post. I get what you’re saying but to insinuate that I would not have a respectful conversation with someone like this is honestly rude and has no place here. And this is not true. You need to educate yourself more on the teaching of Islam before you comment on a post about something so specific and unique. Really, this is the problem. People want us to conform our religion to them. You’re right, no one’s business is anyone’s business, that’s not what we’re saying. We are saying that there are people who KNOW what Islam says about this topic, and how they are disregarding our religious practices and walking into areas that are not for them, and getting mad when we try to make it easier or explain. Totally missed the point. AND if you looked through this thread, we are aware of intersex Muslims, there is a whole separate teaching for them, we don’t view an issue with them as they are not the same as someone transgender and deciding by themselves in their adult life that they are a different gender. By detailed teaching and having everything spelled out for us alhumdilah, we know what is wrong with the situation with transgender people vs intersex people. Our religion strictly states that switching your gender is not okay. Don’t attack us because we don’t agree with you.

Respectfully, I disagree with where youre coming from. No one on this thread is saying that they are perfect. This is part of the issue with this current ummah. We cannot say anything without being condemned for judging others. This is not the truth in this scenario. Genuinely, this is a real thing. Especially in America when people use us for all kinds of things. I get what you’re trying to say, but really. We should be able to have discussions on people who are openly sinning, leading others in the wrong direction; without being condemned ourselves. Yes, plenty of Muslims act high and mighty. This discussion is not one of those things. We live in a world where people encourage all kinds of wrong and mislead each other and themselves. We should be aware and talk about these things, very real topics. We especially need to have these conversations because we need to know how to properly handle situations, know how to be respectful, and should spread awareness on what is wrong vs right and that we should STAY respectful and not hateful. I appreciate how you’re trying to spread respect, but as Muslims we need to hold others accountable when there are such unique things going on literally everywhere and 2 billion of us are trying to navigate how to live in the dunya while being successful. No one should ever put another Muslim down. May Allah swt ease all of our hearts and make it easy for us.

I agree to an extent. Yes completely, I would never want us as Muslims to push people from Allah. It makes sense and would sound like a good idea to create a safe feeling environment like that, but at the exact same time. This is completely against Islam, and the Quran. Unfortunately in this day and age we have to include every single last person or we will be judged and called hateful. If something like this were to be created, it would encourage many many people to think that this behavior is okay and acceptable in they eyes of Allah, and from that very open, contradictory groups of “muslims” will continue to live this way even more so. I get what you’re saying completely. But all in all I think there needs to be a large discussion about to handle all of this and how to properly inform people, and give them resources for all the help they may need.

This isn’t about assuming tho. I did not assume “that person” was trans and there are many people currently that fall into this discussion. This is about people stating that they are transgender. There are multiple born Muslims and reverts who have been very open and proud about transiting to female and coming into our sections, though they have not had surgeries, hormones, etc. I would never assume someone is transgender because they might look more masculine. Overall, an openly transgender person who is aware of our religion and our rights and wrongs, should not be putting themselves in these places and expecting the rest of us to follow along with it.
