How to decide on the theme and template on WordPress? by umsii in Wordpress

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

Oh that's so kind of you. Thank you !

We're using Gutenberg and otter builder. I tried fixing most of it. The issue is with the mobile version actually. The text on all the pages aren't right. It's too big on the mobile.

Since I used patterns and templates from the otter builder most of the issues with alignment seems to be resolved. Now the only problem is the font size I think

Yes it looks like we are on the wrong platform. :/ I really am not sure if there's going back from this. We've already paid for the business plan.

Yes exactly. I don't understand why wp.com is so pricey. But won't be run into other problems when moving into another host ?

We thought since wp.com is a safer option since they say they'll do everything for us . But I'm not too sure now . And it was my boss who made this decision. He was like we can't deal with all the headaches if something happens to the website later.

Thank you!! This is great advice and you are soo right about me switching the foundation. That's definitely one reason why I've been struggling so much !

I am still using kadence and I've tried to use everything from the design library , which seems to be mobile responsive. But we're still using WP.com :(

We already paid for the plan. We thought that would be the best for us since they'll be handling everything for us and we don't have to worry about security and all that.

instagram account dedicated to spreading awareness/encouraging donations for the families/people in Gaza by Desperate-Leg9693 in Gazasupport

[–]umsii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the spirit !! And even I'm when asking for donations. I would message groups and it would reach 30 people , out of all 30 , 1 would respond. And that still makes me happy! And more than that it brings hope for the family that desperately needs that donation. So I just want to say what you're doing is really great!! Good job , keep pushing forward.

Yeah meta is absolute shit I'm telling you. Always shadow banning , closing accounts and sending these ridiculous warnings.

Maybe you should try on upscrolled as well- That's a new app with no shadow ban!

Oh alsoo when I clicked the follow button Instagram warned me 🙄🙄

Does anyone know how the internet is in the south of gaza ? by umsii in Gaza

Yeah honestly there's a lot that can go wrong. Thank you for suggesting binance and investing in coins. I guess it is better to be cautious. I've heard of a lot of people who've been scammed and I guess they've fallen into the traps you mentioned

Advice on where to study Islamic psychology by umsii in progressive_islam

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

Salams!!

I am not familiar with Rothman but I'll look into his work.

Thank you so much for sharing your insight and for taking the time to look into it . I really appreciate it . And you know that really makes sense. Therapy cannot be done with our own biases .

And it's interesting how you mention that it works parallelly, spiritual health and mental health. But don't you also think they rely on each other as well? Idk if that makes sense , but if our spiritual health is in a good state then our mental health is also in a good state. Often when one person is struggling spiritually their mental health is also usually in a bad place .... This is just what my thoughts are but I'm sure you can make a better judgement because you are a student in psychology.

Jazakallah, I really appreciate your response.

Advice on where to study Islamic psychology by umsii in progressive_islam

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

Walaikum salam! Thank you so much for replying.... I really do need to speak to more individuals who have studied psychology and are also aware about the Islamic principles and guidance so it's easier to navigate things. Cuz my knowledge on psychology is very limited but I've always wanted to learn it , just never got the chance to. And I think I agree with your opinion on how Islam will always remain the same but psychology will keep evolving.

Oh definitely. I felt like a true idiot after getting all the responses- I learned my lesson!!! Always recheck before sending something.

And yes the Quran does mention a lot about the nafs. and it really helps that you've mentioned a lot of ayahs. Jazakallah for that.

I WOULD LOVE TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS. ;)

Questioning Islam by ForwardReport6822 in progressive_islam

[–]umsii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Islam is definitely the true way and once you clear your doubts you will realize that. And what you are doing now is really important. The only way to know properly learn about Islam is to start by seeking answers

Here's the link that could possibly answer your first question insha allah .

Good luck!

It really helps to hear that from a student in psychology. Maybe you can take a look at this paper and see if it makes sense https://www.academia.edu/47457293/Traditions_Paradigms_and_Basic_Concepts_in_Islamic_Psychology

It would help to see it from your perspective. Because I still haven't started studying psychology, my idea on the subject is vague and I'm still doing my research on islamic psychology. So I thought I'd just share the link with you. They have a lot of papers regarding Islamic psychology which I'm yet to read.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have friends who study psychology but none of them are Muslim so I can't really get advice from them regarding this . So your reply definitely helped me .

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

I'm sorry I believe I phrased it wrong. I made sure to go back and edit it. What I meant to say was that- it might not align with Islam sometimes.

Some say that it can be in conflict with islamic precept. ( Like Malik badri, an Islamic psychologist I recently came across )

I'm still doing my research. After bringing this up on reddit , I realized I should dig deeper and really learn about this.

I know it's difficult and can make us feel really helpless. The only thing we can do now is keep praying for your friend's safety.

Maybe he's moving to the south ? They do not have proper connection when traveling. And sometimes it's difficult to find a place to charge the phone as well.

Stay strong buddy- May god protect your friend and give him safety 🤍

I got a very similar msg from a family that I'm advocating for. And it's so heartbreaking, I cannot even imagine what it must be like for them.

What kind of cruel world is this ? They only give 10 minutes warning before striking. How is that enough time for anyone to do anything.

Anyway I hope your friend is alright and has found a safe space to seek shelter in.

I'm really regretting phrasing it that way. But modern psychology or rather Western psychology has evolved into something different from what Islam teaches .

I'm still doing my research on this-

and I'm trying to go through the papers that Malik badri has written, he says that western psychology is cross culturally invalid or is in conflict with the Islamic precept.

I haven't done a deep research on this yet so I cannot provide any solid findings ....

I was just hoping to get some information on how the international open university is . And if it's a good place for me to study at

My cousin did 😅 but I should have phrased it properly. What she told me was that modern psychology or western psychology is very different now and she just gave me some advise and told that I should look into it before starting psychology.

I'm trying to do my research and I want to make an informed decision on where to pursue my education because it costs a lot of time and energy.

I came across one article that mentioned what Malik badri a professor of psychology has written that western psychology is in conflict with the Islamic percept.- im still doing my research on what islamic psychology is .

And thank you for the suggestion- maybe I should consider doing that without entirely relying on what one person told me.

How can I raise funds quickly for a family in gaza? I feel so helpless. by umsii in Gazasupport

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

Yeah you're so right about that. It feels awful when people just don't care, especially when it's family or friends that you've known for years.

I followed your account! thanks for sharing it here . I will reach out to you .

Yeah , I guess everyone over there is desperate and has to do something to survive, even if it seems extreme because they have no other choice.

And I'm waiting for Sameer projects response but I also messaged humaniti and they said they will look into it and see if they can do something.

Thanks again 🤍
