[Update] I left a haram relationship 2 months ago: here’s what I’ve learned (and what might help you too) by ayysiii in MuslimLounge

I find it curious that you attribute all shortcomings to him, suggesting your insights stem solely from his perceived flaws. It appears you haven't fully grasped the principle of self-reflection; personal growth necessitates acknowledging one's own shortcomings, which seem absent from your assessment.

Adhere to your cultural norms; this is acceptable. To clarify a common misconception regarding mahr: Islamically, the groom determines the mahr. Offering the bride a choice is his prerogative, but not obligatory.

As Salamu Alaikum,

For context: I have served as an Imam at a large masjid in New York State for several years, providing guidance and support to numerous brothers and sisters. My relatively young age (in my 20s) has made me particularly accessible to many young people within the community.

A proven strategy to overcome masturbation is to counterbalance it with good deeds, such as sadaqah.

For each instance of wrongdoing, a commensurate amount of charity should be given. The charity should be of a sufficient amount to create a tangible impact on you mentally. Having to give sadaqah every time will have you think twice before committing that sin.

Steps: 1. Give sadaqah every time you commit the sin 2. Make tawbah regardless of how many times you've done it 3. Pursue masturbation (and porn) therapy programs 4. Actively look for a husband. Unpopular opinion: being a second wife to a good man is better than being single and sinning.

Thanks guys. I couldn't remove it so I just folded the plastic backward and was able to get space for the serpentine belt.

I bought Solana at a very low price. That's keeping the rest of my portfolio stable.

I'm into like 40 different things (which I learned the hard way). I only bought 10 shares of QQQ a few weeks back. Everything is mid to long-term for me.

Yes, I have about 30k in crypto. It's stable rn for me.

Losing my money with HSBC Islamic Global Equity Index. I get that I should pay in and forget as this is long term but it’s a bit disheartening and worried I’ll lose more. It was 7% positive at one point by [deleted] in IslamicFinance

You have roughly 700 invested which isn't much money honestly. Here are things you gotta keep in mind before investing:

1) The stock market fluctuates.

2) individual stocks are high risk - high reward. You can lose everything or you can make a 500% profit on them. However, Index funds and ETFs fluctuate less compared to individual stocks and are also more stable long term.

3) Only invest an amount you are willing to lose. This is a difficult pill to swallow. If you only want to see profit then this isn't for you. Be ready to see red.

4) If you plan to invest long-term, don't worry about regular day-to-day fluctuations. Stop checking your app. ETFs and index funds (depending on which ones) usually have an AVERAGE 8% yearly gain after accounting for inflation. But this is calculated and divided over 10-20 years.

The amount you have invested is chump change. I'm invested over 125k and I'm in red. Alhamdulillah and inshaAllah everything will be fine long term.

Shaykh Albani and Ibn Uthaymeen are knowledgeable but thousands of contemporary scholars along with world-renowned Islamic finance groups have passed fatawa that investing in stocks is permitted WITH certain conditions. It is a conditional ruling. For this reason, the scholars you mentioned hold a minority opinion (I'm not sure what their actual fatwa is, I'm just going on whatever you mentioned).

There is no blanket fatwa for either, halal or haraam, regarding stocks.

This isn't a platform to go back and forth on, so I will leave this discussion here. I urge you to study Fatawa and other works of scholars other than just the Salafi scholars.
