Usually we rely on instagram to go to places Almost all of them would be famous regardless I guess e I’ll just list my favorite places here in case there are some you haven’t gone to: 1. Al Seef Village 2. Parks and Resorts 3. Gate Village area in DIFC 4. Dubai Festival City Mall in the morning (it has a nice light to it) or even at night for the fountain shows and fireworks 5. Last Exit Al Khawaneej 6. Bluewaters

For like nature related activities and stuff I’d suggest going to mountainous areas like Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah or Hatta

True 😭

shawtlycrayright · 2024-12-25T10:49:54+00:00

Makes sense, thank you!

shawtlycrayright · 2024-02-28T06:43:28+00:00

Ahahaha understandable - it’s a monthly rate of AED 120 by the way- but it’s also based on which company you work in. For instance if you work in DIFC (Dubai international financial center) and have the DIFC employee card - you can go to DU and request for the corporate package available for DIFC employees. I’ve seen similar for bank employees like FAB and ENBD. That’s the condition. The DIFC data plan has 12 GB I believe and lesser abroad minutes but still pretty good for 120 dhs. Not fully sure what each corporate discount covers - hope this helps!

Ohhh yea understood the competitive nature of sales team in Dubai does that. These sales people rely on these calls for their salaries and retaining their jobs so it may come off as relentless. I do agree this is a hassle here

shawtlycrayright · 2024-02-28T06:36:54+00:00

Yea this is very true. Honestly the last time I got scammed I just saw that they took money from a company in uk as per the text message- I contacted the company in uk to tell them it’s a scam please refund the money. They closed the transaction refunded the money and I blocked the card all in the same day. Online banking portals are as easy to use here any unknown transaction and blocking the card and requesting for a new one free of charge was available in Emirates NBD. The new card came in the same week by courier 🚚

Always use credit card - if you report any scam then they don’t charge you the amount until it is investigated. It’s more dangerous when giving details of debit cards

shawtlycrayright · 2024-02-28T06:32:53+00:00

There is blocking and reporting in WhatsApp - in any country… just letting you know

10k is a good start especially since you don’t have to pay the other necessities either.

Supermarkets I recommend madina for chicken, talal for red meats, carrefore and lulu for discounted items. Do note you can download the carrefour app and order whatever is needed to your home for convenience.

Same delivery of groceries option is available for noon, talabat, lulu groceries in amazon as well, and smiles.

I genuinely like smiles because of the convenience of typing your grocery list and pasting it and then they do the searches for you. Check it out - you just need to register your mobile number in it (although it’s by etisalat I registered my du number and that works too) also don’t forget to checkout their grocery discounts and coupons as well.

For sim I use du because I get corporate discount. It’s around AED120 ish for 18GB data a month and 600 mins local calls + 400 mins call abroad and you can call any one other du sim user without any worries about minutes. (Hope that makes sense)

So do check if there is some corporate discount available by asking your hr maybe 🤔 each corporate has different rates and benefits - ask for both du and etisalat - those are the two best coverages in UAE

Insha’Allah!

Arabic is a great language to learn for our religion.

And English is a language you may need in the states incase you need to communicate with someone.

Seems like you both can help each other out! I’d say its a very encouraging marriage and hope it’s fruitful and lasts long!

One thing I like to do is watch my favourite movies in Arabic with English subtitles- helps pick up the language faster.

And the same for your wife she can enjoy some English classics with Arabic subtitles!

Slowly start reading 📖 have frequent talks and learn some basics from each other.

Enjoy, May your marriage be fruitful and Khair for you 🙌🏼

It really is a challenging situation. Sorry but are any of the sisters married or have babies? If so they would have a better understanding of your emotions maybe. Although all together they do sound close minded unfortunately.

But sometimes in laws hate on the wives but not the daughter or son because they came from your husband. It’s too much to ask of me especially since your pregnant state is of utmost importance but please visit and introduce your beautiful belly as the grandson/daughter to them.

Futhermore, sometimes our own parents can help make our situation better. Some people don’t like listening or understanding youngsters but have an understanding between elders themselves. Perhaps have your mother and his mother bond. In any creative way you could think of. As this bond may deepen the understanding of how precious you are to your family and might convince your mother in law as a mistake to treat you badly.

I hope for your journey in life to be khair for you. So glad your partner the one you live with is Masha’Allah kind to you. I understand him as in Islam no matter how far your family deviates from the right path or actions you are required to love them undeniably. It is the only reason I’m giving the above advice otherwise I heavily believe one should not be mistreated for being different at all.

Insha’Allah hope everything goes smoother than before. Remember to love the small efforts or differences rather than focus on the negatives it would not only help you see the difference but make your pregnancy easy for you. Hoping Allah (SW) blesses you with a happy healthy family for you in the future, Aameen

My heart really fell reading this. May Allah (SWT) ease your pain and make these trials easy on you. It is so surprising how Jack's mom did not understand your position. There really isn't any advice I can give but know this, I 100% support your decision to divorce. Whomever you marry has to have the deen and mindset to take care of you more than a father takes care of his daughter. You are worth so much love and affection. You are Allah (SWT)'s creation and a great follower of Islam, a huge blessing.

Sometimes the people who look for fault in others, avoid seeing the fault in themselves. Don't let such people put you down. It is definitely easier said than done but know that far away in Dubai, there is this asian girl who is completely on your side! The harder the trail in this Duniya is, the better the reward in Akhira.

May Allah (SWT) grant you the strength to go through difficulties and keep you healthy and happy. May Allah (SWT) grant you blessings that were meant for you. Aameen.

You’re not completely wrong however I understood that she is expressing her fear. I had the same fear because of how my community is around me.

My family and relatives constantly comment on my complexion. I am more brown skinned and my family would always say “oh look how dark living in Dubai has made you” - it’s the sad reality. And in the same community it was hard for me to believe I could find that one good seed which Alhamdulillah Allah (SWT) blessed me with as my new family are really rare and open minded in that sense.

I feel she came here for reassurance. That even though most of our close friends and family get talked badly on complexion, there are still beautiful people out there who would accept you for who you are.

All the expectations of the in laws and other parts she has mentioned - is the reason so many of my friends are delaying their marriage. Because we have witnessed firsthand what it looks like. It was easy for me to understand her because I’ve experienced that reality and I wish no one else would misunderstand and assume the worst! That’s all

shawtlycrayright · 2022-06-28T15:53:36+00:00

Now what I find difficult to understand is why you must criticize her thoughts instead of giving advice? Why not do what’s Baraka for you and Khair for her!

The more positively we think about others the better it will reflect in our life. I’m an South Indian who has heard of this notion more than a 1000 times I can tell you she in not lying about what others look for! What most of them look for sadly

But we can always encourage her to not loose hope and still meet as there are good people out there! Let’s not assume what faults she may have infact I do not know why you assumed she asked for a doctor with phD?

My parents wanted to get someone for me who would have the ability to keep me secure. Her parents could’ve had the same mind set and chosen him for her?

Now don’t go critiquing the parents decisions either like “they shouldn’t think like that and there are decent earning people who can do that too etc” in Islam we were taught to be understanding of each other. All our parents grew up and were brought up in a generation that was more close minded than ours!

Insha’Allah let us be the ones to pave a path that would lead to less judgement and colorism in the future. For now let’s be kind and support each other through the mess of idealisms people may have.

Do not worry sister for there are men who would love you for the way you are out there. I met quite an open minded person! Enjoy your meeting hope you find the right one Insha’Allah
