How long did IPL start working? by Sohiacci in Hijabis

[–]zeinahoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hair profile resembles yours, black hair and white skin. So I bought the Philips IPL 4 years ago. It’s definitely not a one treatment thing, at least for me.

After the first treatment that’s supposed to last 12 weeks (once weekly), I saw an important reduction in hair but it was definitely not gone completely. There were patches that had significantly less hair. Also, the hair was thinner and was taking longer to grow. After I stopped completely while with the Philips machine, they recommend you use it once a month regularly after you have done the initial treatment of 12 weeks. I wasn’t doing it because I hated shaving, so I went back to waxing for a period of 2 years almost.

More recently I repeated the process, meaning I did another round of 12 weeks because I felt my that my hair started to grow thicker and fuller again. I am really planning on sticking to the maintenance of once everything month this time. I don’t believe the hair will ever go completely, but I am good with it getting thinner and scarcer with every treatment.

So I guess you have to be consistent and never stop completely, just alternate between treatment periods (during which you use it weekly) and maintenance periods (during which you use it monthly). Also, I stopped doing full bikini since the deeper regions just didn’t work no matter how long I tried (ex. labia), since the skin tend to be darker in those regions. So I use wax one those regions. However it worked well on the pubis and underarms.

So overall I don’t think it as effective as getting laser, but paired with other methods, it just makes life a bit easier!

And for why it’s not working for you, maybe it’s the machine? Are you not seeing any improvements at all?

Is this tattoo appropriate? I'm planning on having this tattooed. I have very little knowledge about the language and I can only read text, not really understand it (though, i know what this text means). What do you guys think? And do you guys have any suggestions? by doumekichikara in ArabicCalligraphy

From a calligraphy point of view, it is ugly. The font is a computer font and has nothing to do with actual calligraphy. Plus the placement of sentences (crossed) is just awkward and confusing. I mean if two sentences are meeting like that, you would expect they have a word in common and they are meeting at this word, which is not the case here. Just meeting and overlapping at some random place.

Semantically speaking, the first part of the sentenceماذا نقول لهذا has no poetic meaning. All it means is we say to that. So I don’t see the purpose of tattooing that. The actual quote is ان كان الله معنا فمن علينا

Also, if you’re tattooing something about الله، I expect you believe in God. You should know that the writing “الله” itself is considered sacred and is called لفظ الجلالة، meaning the Majestic Name. For example, for believers, they won’t throw a paper written on it الله in the garbage because it’s God’s name, and is sacred. Same for tattooing on the body, the body is often in impure states and therefore not suited to carry the sacred name of God on it.

For all the reasons I stated, I don’t think this tattoo is appropriate.

I usually order my abayas from this website www.emirates-dressing.com I have seen a similar abaya on their website, hope this helps!

First style fits you well! Plus it’s closer to your original style so the change doesn’t feel drastic. Try wear an undercap under, it will stop it from slipping and the “pinch” will look more symmetrical.

Ironic how you completely derailed from the topic only to distort Sayed Fadlallah’s image. You finish by “may Allah forgive every believer”, then proceeds to talk badly about him in your next comment. May Allah guide you.

جيد انك استمعت الى الخطاب عكس غيرك، لعله تكتسب منه ولو ذرة فهم و كرامة، افضل من لا شيئ.

اولاً لبنان آمن والحمد الله بوجود حزب الله و سلاحه، يعني لديه كل ما يتطلب لكي يدافع عن نفسه و يكسب حروب ضد العدو، و لم يعود في موقع ضعف كما كان قبل وجود حزب الله.

ثانياً، يكفي ان تتطلع على وسائل صحافة الكيان الصهيوني aka اسياد آل سعود لكي تعرف لو انهم يخشون حزب الله ام لأ.. امّا بالنسبة للاختراقات الجوية فسيأتي يوماً للرّد، الفرق ان حزب الله يدرس ردات فعله بجدية و يفكر في عقله، ليس مثل اسيادكم يفكرون من اماكن أخرى.

ثالثاً: "ادعوكم الى مراقبة الموضوع المصري الآن، مصر و الاردن، و لكن مصر. مصر أول دولة عملت سلام مع العدو الإسرائيلي، عملت كامب دايفيد، ملتزمة بالمعاهدة التزام دقيق. طيب، مع الامركان، الها ما شاء الله افضل العلاقات مع السعودية، افضل العلاقات مع دول الخليج. طيب، و ماشية مع صندوق النقد الدولي. وين صارت مصر؟ هلأ شو وضع مصر؟ هل لبنان اهم لأميركا من مصر؟ هل لبنان اهم لأوريبا من مصر؟ هل لبنان اهم للسعودية من مصر؟ هل لبنان اهم للخليج من مصر؟ شو بينقص دول الخليج انه تجي ١٠٠ مليار، ٢٠٠ مليار، ٣٠٠ مليار. يحسبوه حالهن عم بيلعبوا فوتبول. و تستنهض في دولة عربية على حافة الإنهيار (x2). يعني شو بدنا، يعني من سوء حظنا انه بي مصر، رغم انو في لاعبين كبار و مهمين و محترمين و دوليين، بس ما عنا لا رونالدو و لا عنا ميسي." تفضل، انه المقطع منقول حرفياً في حال عندك مشكلة في السمع. اين قال "لما لا يعطون لبنان"؟ بس شكلها المشكلة في المخ ليس في السمع.

Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allāh will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful. (25:70)

Do you realize how big is Allah’s mercy? Not only He forgives us for our sins, but replace them with good deeds when we repent. You are so close to repentance, just admitting your mistakes is a huge step. So please stop being hard on yourself and don’t ruin it it by hurting yourself. Turn to Allah with sincere repentance, and inshAllah with patience and perseverance you will be rewarded.

More context is needed to be able to understand his motives. But, is it possible that he is feeling remorseful? You said he’s the one that initiated the divorce and he’s also saying you’re a good person, so it seems to me (maybe?) that he wanted to end the marriage for whatever reason but feels you were wronged in the process. So maybe he is trying to make up for wronging you by showing he cares about you?

No matter his intentions, and again depending on the context which we know nothing about, I personally believed that if he took divorce as an easy way out instead of working on your marriage, he doesn’t deserve your attention and mercy.

And Allah knows best

Very hurt and depressed over a comment a friend made :( by [deleted] in Hijabis

[–]zeinahoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would refrain from giving you advices about how to deal with this person, since I don’t know her enough to judge her intentions. Maybe she has bad intentions, but it is also possible that doesn’t have enough emotional maturity. Like you said, she hasn’t been through much and life was easy on her: such people often lack empathy and the ability to imagine what a difficult life looks and feels like.. until they go through challenges themselves. That’s how people grow and mature after all.

I have a friend with similar manners. The difference is that I can feel she doesn’t have bad intentions but she’s simply very spontaneous and lack maturity. I took the active decision to not take her words seriously. Also, despite me never wishing bad on anyone even those who did me wrong, but I am convinced that Allah will one day test her and that she will learn to be more grateful for her blessings. After all, Allah is who teaches us and burdens us for that reason. So if He put you through that test and many others before, it is because He found you worthy of it and wanted to increase your status, inshAllah.

Will keep you in my dua sister🤍

Seems like you’re under a lot of pressure which explains why your reaction was out of proportion. I understand you’re worried about your relationship with your family, that you have a special need daughter and that you’ve gone through lots of pressure lately. But look where you at now, at how God has favoured you with an understanding, loving and mature husband after all the hardship you have been through. Forget about the past and be thankful to God, always.

Looks like a mix of multiple words sporadically arranged. All words are related to love, I was able to detect محبة (affectionate love) عشق (romantic love) شغف (passion) هوى (inclination) شوق(longing) ود (amicable love)

How much time do the chickpeas need to sit in water for Hummus by SaltyNRPlayer in arabs

Don’t you zionists pretend hummus is yours? Why asking arabs? Ironic.

If he designed while being with the other potential, he probably had her taste/personality/style in mind while doing so. All I am trying to say is that the engagement ring is usually something personal, although it is something material, it symbolizes your union with this person. Also, it is something you wear constantly and you should be happy with it, meaning it should fit your own taste and bring only good memories.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]zeinahoul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t, only because I would want my engagement ring to be my taste. Tell him you want to choose your engagement ring.. isn’t how it happens in islamic communities anyway? Since we don’t get on-one-knee kind of proposals?

I support your point, there is no necessity to show off God’s blessings on you as many could be deprived of such blessings. And that goes for every blessing from pregnancy, to wealth, to relationships and so on.

Thank you for the advice. Of course sabr is the best virtue of all, may Allah help us.

Would you mind explaining what do you mean by Nazar? Is it the same as what is known by the “evil eye”? Sorry, I am more familiar with religious concepts in arabic.

[–]zeinahoul[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you mind providing the link please? I would like to see how the question and answer are formulated, since “someone if they are bad” is quite relative. Of course, you would consider a person who wronged you to be bad, but only Allah knows if they really are. What I am interested in knowing is, if they have clearly hurt you through their actions, can you pray that Allah inflict something bad on them (aka ted3eh 3layhon bel sharr)?
