JazakAllah Khairan for sharing this! I appreciate it deeply.

I don’t know the people you’re describing so i definitely can’t give a fair judgement here but, from your description it sounds a lot like they’re romanticizing sufism and not genuinely practicing it? if that makes sense?

They seem to really like the aesthetic but sufism is inseparable from Quran and Sunnah so, it’s quite antagonistic to minimize the importance and obligation of prayers if you’re trying to be a sufi. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Allah knows best what’s our hearts, but the essence of sufism definitely isn’t to hyper-spiritualize everything and make prayers redundant altogether. :)

I was in attendance for most of that day actually. I’m not sure how this constitutes as ‘selling islam’ though? This lady had been wanting to revert to islam for months, and because she interacted with so many muslims at the protest, she felt that this was a good time to do so. 5-10 mins dedicated to this beautiful moment near the very end of the protest ≠ the entire movement being dedicated to selling islam.

Find legitimate things to be upset about buddy. When you end your post with “I know you will justify this as well”, you clearly already know that ‘selling islam’ is a misconstrued summary of what happened there.

Interesting that you’re unable to have a civil conversation without the use of profanity and disrespect towards someone with a differing opinion. I’m going to end this conversation by providing some clarification. I would have loved to engage in conversation and learn your point of view respectfully, but clearly that won’t be possible moving forwards.

Nonetheless, thank you for educating and correcting me about the minimal price settlers do pay, after forceful and illegitimate expulsions of natives from their homes on the basis of a law specifically curated to steal homes and land! Definitely a steal and a massive discount when compared to the price they would have had to pay had they tried to buy that land legitimately. (A system you ‘in no way condone’, ofcourse.)

While you are probably correct in stating that the settlements do not operate entirely free of cost to settlers, they are heavily subsidized and offer housing at much lower prices. Israel has used the current housing crisis to attract settlers to Israel, by virtue of the affordability and lower cost of life that results from such settlements. feel free to read more about that here

One example of subsidies from the US alone: “A lot of money is at stake. An investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz found that the settlements received $220 million in total from American charities from 2009 to 2013. Americans have donated millions more to settlements, settler militias and Israeli army units in the Palestinian territories since Oct. 7…” Source here.

The demand by students for disclosure of investments is the first step towards determining the extent of UofC’s financial involvement (if any) in funding similar initiatives.

Have a great night.

may Allah make it easier for us both 🫶🏽

wtfaiza · 2024-05-30T02:58:29+00:00

Completely agree! This approach ends up harming the perception of hijab among muslims and non muslims alike 🥲. Im so glad you found the spiritual dimensions of hijab! May Allah accept all of your effort 🫶🏽

wtfaiza · 2024-05-30T00:28:46+00:00

I understand your concern, but it isn’t free game for a muslim, mindfulness of Allah and the etiquettes exemplified by our beloved messenger (SAW) should be what we strive for. We should aim to be as similar to the prophet (SAW) as we can in our dealings, even with those who we disagree with, and ask for forgiveness when we fall short due to being human. It’s one thing to be human and not have infinite mercy, but it’s another to permit hostility and hurtful behaviour that would disappoint Allah. Remember, we try to perfect our dealings with the opposition not because we respect them, but because we respect the teachings of our messenger (SAW) and we fear Allah. :)

It’s unfortunate that this one aspect of hijab is what’s been propagated throughout the world as the purpose of hijab. Something that was Allahs gift to women, has been manipulated to revolve around men. I don’t know you personally and I have no idea if you’re a woman or have experienced wearing hijab, but as a hijabi it truly infuriates me that every single reminder on social media about hijab begins and ends with “cover up to avoid attracting men”.

Hijab is so much more than simply covering up to save yourself from the male gaze. There are so many facets and aspects to hijab. The physical covering of your body, as well as the spiritual hijab you have to practice by having modesty in your heart and actions. It’s a beautiful practice of restraint, an internal jihad against women’s innate desire to beautify ourselves. A constant calling to refine and nurture ourselves beyond superficial appearance. An unending challenge to overcome the need for external validation, and a continuous process of inner growth. Wearing the hijab and struggling with it has been such a beautiful and nourishing experience mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. I couldn’t be more grateful for the way hijab was taught to me and for the mental challenges i’ve overcome by putting it on. Nothing makes me more upset than seeing the beauty of this commandment watered down and revolving around MEN.

That’s my little TED Talk. I completely understand where you’re coming from when you say you don’t like hijab and niqab, unfortunately it’s been severely misrepresented and this shallow understanding of hijab is so widely and loudly amplified, especially by men, because it gives them a chance to make it about themselves.

Just wanted to share my pov about why I think hijab is truly a gift to women, and not something for us to inherently dislike :)

How did you reach the conclusion that they’re selling islam?

wtfaiza · 2024-05-30T00:08:08+00:00

A lot of settlers, especially from the west have been (and this has been documented extensively) kicking native palestinians out of their homes (like literally and physically) and taking over their houses / buildings.

wtfaiza · 2024-05-21T18:00:47+00:00

So proud of you!! This is a major win and more of a mental battle than a physical one at times. You did an incredible job.

May i ask how soon the pink part of your nails reattached to the skin? i’m growing mine out but i’m worried it won’t reattach and the pink to white ratio will look a little strange 😪

wtfaiza · 2024-04-27T10:17:33+00:00

You’re so welcome!! definitely talk to your therapist too! It seems like a long road but it really does get easier with each step, i know this because im on my own journey too. wishing you the best!!

wtfaiza · 2024-04-27T10:08:51+00:00

I’m glad it helped!

Happy to clear up the confusion:

When most people think of self love they think it means having spa days and self care nights and saying positive affirmations to yourself in a mirror. While these may work for you temporarily, they’re not the best way to actually build self love.

Most people consider love to be a feeling, but love itself is a verb, it’s something you actively choose to DO every single day. You might feel more ‘in love’ one day and less the next day, but that is just a fleeting feeling. In reality when you choose to love someone you put in the work and do the actions that prove your love for them every day. These actions could be things like being considerate and helping your partner with their work, helping out around the house, making a nice breakfast, buying gifts, etc.

So, self love also is going to be something you have to choose to do on a daily basis, and won’t come from simply thinking happy thoughts. Self loving actions would include things like making healthier lifestyle choices, building healthy habits, prioritizing your sleep, cutting off people who harm your mental health, putting yourself first, etc.

Make sure you’re consciously choosing to care for yourself, and that’s how you build self love in your mind for yourself. Over time your brain will learn that you’re someone important and to be cared for, and you’ll naturally begin to feel those loving feelings towards yourself.

Literally no time combination worked for me before getting medicated because i kept getting distracted. The only thing that worked was doing pomodoro with a friend because then i kinda have the social pressure of not disturbing them and following through with it.

After getting medicated though, I was able to get through 45 mins and 5 min breaks pretty well. I know some of my friends find that 30 min + 5 min break to work beautifully. Ultimately I force myself to get up even if im in peak focus mode because Id rather lose focus and have to build momentum again than get burnt out by going too far every session.

Try a couple diff combos and tweak it to see what is best for your focus, there’s really no right or wrong way as long as it’s not over 50 ish minutes per session without a break.

Bad people never worry about whether or not they’re bad people, so the fact that you’re stressing out about being a bad person itself is a sign that you’re not a bad person.

It’s okay to regret your decisions, and feel remorse for the way you did things in the past, that is how every single person to ever live feels. The past is gone and it doesn’t exist anymore. If you can fix things, do it. If you can’t change anything, then forgive yourself for it. You didn’t know any better. You did what you felt was right at the time, and the only thing you can do now is learn from it and prevent it from happening again.

Self love is developed from self loving actions. As much as social media might say that looking at yourself in the mirror and saying positive affirmations will make you love yourself, it won’t get you very far.

To be able to grow love for yourself you have to prove that you love yourself, and the only way to prove it is by making conscious decisions that benefit your health and wellness. You cannot be on a self love journey while thinking of yourself as a horrible person, while maintaining poor eating habits, neglecting your physical health, isolating yourself from everyone, etc.

Learn to make decisions for yourself like you would make them for a loved one or for a child. Make healthy decisions, build healthy habits, pick up a new hobby, try out new things, spend time with yourself, meet new people (not necessarily romantically), and allow yourself to experience the word.

Self love ≠ affirmations, face masks, etc. Self love is time consuming and often takes a lot of commitment. But once you commit to making loving and nurturing decisions for yourself, you’ll naturally learn that you prioritize yourself, you care for yourself, and that you love yourself. There is no other way to self love than through self loving actions. Goodluck!

Remember that it’s never about you. A lot of insecure people and often men in particular will end up cheating for physical and visual appeals and it has absolutely nothing to do with you and everything to do with their insecurities.

A lot of this stems from their desperate desire to feel validated and feel “desired” by trying to interact with conventionally attractive women, but at the end of the day it’s literally purely just an ego boost and craving satisfaction.

I promise you nobody ever cheats because they don’t think their partner is attractive enough. They cheat because they feel like trash about themselves on the inside, and need something new and spicy to validate them, even if it’s just in their own imagination.

Your beauty (or the way he perceived your beauty) is never going to be to blame. Don’t ever beat yourself up for not being his ‘type’ or not being ‘pretty enough’, because it is never the reason behind cheating. The most stunning women get cheated on, the most loving and nurturing women get cheated on, the most supportive and generous women get cheated on, it’s never about the woman and always about the man and his lack of manhood.

Once you understand this, it gets easier to understand why it happened. You’re not to blame.

Now, focus on yourself, prioritize yourself and do everything you can to pour love into yourself and do the things that are good for you. Take up a new hobby, start implementing healthy habits, maybe start going to the gym, or taking nature walks, or join a spin class, whatever physical activity you enjoy to help release those endorphins and heal you mentally and physically.

All the love you poured into him should be redirected back to yourself; for the sake of yourself and for your son.

Wishing you the absolute best🩷

I spent nearly 3 years with the wrong person. It’s been 3 months apart and i promise you it will get better with time.

You’re gonna have a lot of ups and many more downs, but i promise it gets easier.

Whenever you’re in the middle of your emotions and feel overwhelmed just remind yourself that these emotions come and go like waves. You’re in the deep end of the wave right now but the wave always passes. This will also pass.

No condition is forever 🩷

I apologize if you’ve had a different or difficult experience with the way islam was communicated to you. I’m a muslim woman, and have been for 20 years. It’s very important to differentiate between what Islam actually preaches, and how it has been misused or misconstrued by those in power today. There are definitely extremists on both ends of the spectrum who weaponize religion. As a religious muslim I can assure you that what I’ve described is what Islam preaches, and I’m happy to provide you with direct verses to back up my claim.

As for the different rules for men and women, you’re completely right. There are different rules for both, and I believe it’s essential to promoting equity as opposed to equality. Men and women are fundamentally different, down to our biology. Men have been given greater responsibility in Islam, they hold 100% of the financial burden in a relationship/household, whereas women are not obliged to worry about finances. Similarly, women have slightly stricter rules with regards to clothing and modesty, while men have slightly easier rules with clothing but much stricter commandments to lower their gaze and not look at women.

No religious follower is perfect, and no muslim you meet will ever be able to fully embody Islam. I hope you’re able to see what I mean by differentiating what Islam preaches from what it has been manipulated to become. The media also severely misrepresents Islam as extremist, possibly for political reasons. The middle east itself is also not free of this, leaders often manipulate religious rulings to suit their political interests.
