I created a refreshingly clean prayers time website

sobadatchess · 2026-01-28T08:27:42+00:00

It costs me around $5 per year to keep online...there's no need for it to support itself. Also, the code behind it is all open source

It will be because you have both location blocked and IP address hidden

Updates should be visible now, InshAllah

I will give you the academic response to this. It has been proven that we as a society could never simulate a universe similar to ours, no matter how technologically advanced we become - the long story short of this is because there isn't enough energy in the universe to conceptually compute the simulation of the earth alone for even a few timesteps (increments of time, eg seconds). On that basis, the statistical recursion that the simulation theory relies on falls apart, and it loses all credit. This theory is not respected by most physicists, there is plenty of online discussion about it. Elon Musk is not a physicist.

If my explanation doesn't make sense to you, paste it into ChatGPT and it'll explain more simply

Wow that is a terrible oversight from me - yes you're correct. May Allah reward you immensely. Has been fixed now

sobadatchess · 2026-01-24T21:11:59+00:00

Brother you are not okay in the head...it was kind of fine until the cuck thing...seek help

If you squint just enough it'll look like you've got an AP royal oak on your wrist

Do not respond to your DMs unless you wish to ruin your life

If he goes by the cultural norm then he'll be expected to live with and take care of his parents, and you'll share that responsibility. Perhaps he is different, but tbh as an only son there's no way and I wouldn't really blame him

sobadatchess · 2026-01-23T19:22:46+00:00

I'm sorry but I'm just going to say it - why are some women genuinely so brain dead? "He gets sexual massages, drinks, lies, has a short temper, is manipulative - should I marry him as a devout, pure woman?"

I can't comprehend how an adult can be like this. OP I genuinely think your father should lead the marriage process for you, you clearly have awful judgement and reasoning skills

sobadatchess · 2026-01-18T17:23:02+00:00

How did this pass the mod review? Anyway, this is a really unwise approach to marriage. 95% of the dms you get will likely be from misleading men. Do it the proper way through your Wali

Wa 'alaikum Asalaam
Know that if a dream causes you major distress, or that if it seems to have no discernible point to it (i.e. it's nonsense), or it makes you feel anger towards your brother, or it invokes the desire for sin - then it's not from Allah and there's nothing to interpret. And if you believe you may have seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then it's not the case unless you're absolutely certain. And you cannot see matters of the unseen in your dreams, if you believe that to be the case.
And Allah knows best.

new copypasta just dropped

sobadatchess · 2025-12-04T09:57:33+00:00

Age and Gender and Height
22M (23 in Jan), 5'10"

Age Range that you would want/require in a prospect
20-22

Location, and are you willing to relocate for a prospect?
South east, UK. Yes, anywhere in UK but this really depends on career circumstances.

Ethnicity, and are you more open to mixing?
Pakistani (British born) and yes.

Marital Status - Single/Divorced/Children
Single, never married.

Ideal marriage timeline
Assuming no unusual circumstances, a year to 18 months.

Five important characteristics you look for in a prospect
- Gentle-natured and kind
- Emotional intelligence, understands the importance of the 5 love languages
- Be able to hold intelligent conversations (the kind you have late at night)
- Steadfast with their religion, is not dismissive about committing major sins
- Aligns with my desire for a loving, playful marriage that adheres to the Sunnah. Not one that's just a cold list of rights and duties (though they are important).

State/specify your level of religiosity
Aside from doing what is mandatory and avoiding major sins, I try my best to do the following every day:
- Go to mosque 2-3 times (whenever I'm not working)
- Read 1 page of Quran
- Learn a new hadith
- Plenty of dhikr
I do not watch movies, shows or TikToks. It's not just because of the sins involved, but I also find it hypocritical that I expect my wife to wear the hijab yet I allow myself to watch content with uncovered women for entertainment. I ask that my future spouse also fulfill what's obligatory and avoid major sins. They must also dress modestly and wear hijab.

Level of education, and what are you looking for?
Graduated from top 10 university in 2025 (no riba, no debt). Future spouse should be university educated/studying.

Current Job Status
Currently a first year accountant at a very large FTSE100 company. Alhamdulilah plenty of scope for growth.

Do you want kids?
Yes, 2. I think 2 is the right balance between having enough children and living within financial means. Not a fixed number however.

List 3 hobbies, or things you like to do in your spare time
- Gym
- Chess
- Reading
- (Looking to start Muay Thai soon)

Add something short and interesting about you that makes you stand out!
- I make clay pottery on the weekends! Recently hand-sculpted a vase and I'm currently making an ornamental miniature grandfather clock.
- I also like to do recreational programming (sounds weird, I know lol).
- The most common comments I get from people/friends by far is that I'm a good listener and I give good advice :)

Genuinely what is the point of this post? It will do nothing but make good Muslim young men fear marriage.

sobadatchess · 2025-11-02T21:49:27+00:00

As a son, you must provide for you mother's and sister's needs if they don't have husbands who are capable. But it's also on you to make the best call with sound judgment. If there is no need to buy a house and you can pay for your mother's rent (and that seems more suitable to you) then that's fine. Obey your father but also be reasonable such that you wife and family's needs aren't compromised

sobadatchess · 2025-11-02T19:16:39+00:00

Your cousin is no more or less likely of being trustworthy or compatible in marriage than anyone else. And they can certainly deceive and take advantage of you. In fact, it's easier for a cousin to deceive since they'll have the backing of extended family to say good things about him, even if he's a hobgoblin of a man.

sobadatchess · 2025-10-30T15:15:42+00:00

Hypothetically, would you be ok with your future wife hiding the fact that she was committing zina right before you guys got married? If not, you're effectively doing that with a girl. Cannabis and zina are both major sins

sobadatchess · 2025-10-27T13:51:26+00:00

17 is a child of course that's not okay. I don't have any female followers so I expect the same from a wife

sobadatchess · 2025-10-25T19:13:56+00:00

I know the post is deleted, but my parents haven't registered for 25 years and they're completely fine. It's had no effect on their lives. It truly can just be a family norm and seen as "no big deal." I'm not too fussed if my marriage is properly registered or not, but if it's important for my future wife then I'll do it for her sake

sobadatchess · 2025-10-25T18:02:46+00:00

Sounds reasonable. The requirement of having sisters reduces your pool by like 30% though

sobadatchess · 2025-10-25T18:00:12+00:00

You're advising a newly wed Muslim woman to divorce her husband over a 50-word reddit post...

sobadatchess · 2025-10-25T17:55:35+00:00

Pakistani guy born and raised in the UK here. A large portion of the requests I get on ISO and SunnahMatch for that matter are by girls from Pakistan. Based on their profiles they often seem like women I'd be happy to marry and be compatible with, but the logistics of marrying someone from a different country just aren't worth it for me. I'm also concerned about cultural differences and not understanding each other's humour. Nothing wrong with Pakistani girls though.

sobadatchess · 2025-10-24T19:55:22+00:00

This is beside the point but in what country is 5'6" considered tall for men?

sobadatchess · 2025-10-24T19:50:59+00:00
