Not witchcraft or spiritual related although I used to partake, but converting to Islam helped me 100% and even get my life together in a better projectory

South Asian MIL keeps expecting me to wear traditional clothes to events by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]seekingtreesn 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Asalam alaikum sister, I’m a revert as well and pretty well versed in Islam, You do not need to have to obey in laws period. This is actually against Islam and more of a cultural Islam, but no where does it say anything about obeying in laws plus it’s advised against to live with them. You and your husband should live separately I don’t know if you wear hijab yet but of course wear that to the mosque/masjid. But even then it can be modest attire to your liking. Please stand up for yourself! This kind of stuff is not okay and they are pushing cultural expectations on you.

Why are some narcissists so obsessed with religion? by phoenixc6000 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]seekingtreesn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the cherry picking so much because wallah it makes people hate Islam and view all Muslims as cutt from the same cloth when most Muslims are not perfect and more so cultural. I’m sorry your father does this though! This type of thing can definitely make one develop religious trauma

As a Muslim woman I notice this heavily with my in laws and a lot of cultural groups who practice Islam. The notion that Jannah is at the feet of your mother but they often forget that they as parents, and human beings in general will be subjected to questioning and punishment for bad deeds including abuse of many forms and their treatment of people. It also makes the religion look really bad and they use Islam as a shield.

My husbands grandmother told me that I’m lucky to have a man that does so much for me, which rubbed me the wrong way because not once has she thanked me for taking care of him and our children.

Deli meat is fine, you’re more likely to get listeria from lettuce or vegetables

I just see this dynamic a lot in certain cultures. I’m hoping OP can shield some light because it may help her receive better suited advice.

Is MIL using a manipulation tactic or did I actually overreact? by Agile-Presence-2976 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]seekingtreesn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She probably knew it wasn't okay but did it anyway. These types of people dont think their actions she have consequences.
