If you have an iPhone, you can get widgetsmith on the app store and try this. Make a folder in photos for ‘adiyah and create a widget on the home screen so you can recite whatever comes up ان شاء الله

Not like jealousy or wanting them to fail, but to (fundamentally) understand that: 1. Everyone is fallible 2. We owe each other mercy- huquq ul ibaad 3. There’s no need to change yourself to impress someone you admire- whether that’s family or others you view infallible

Catching a glimpse of imperfection, or direct flaws that make a person slip from the pedestal in your mind is good- it allows you to see them as simply someone & frees you from any slight burden of pretence. Essentially, it clears space for grace and mercy.

It is the unyielding pursuit of the truth that stems from curiosity. And some of the tools to achieve this with is money, education, exposure, safety and the time to ponder You see- that’s provision

It is not 'study the deen at home' it is the spark of curiosity in sunlight- from the way it falls to the way it touches your skin, it is in travel and safety, it is through provision, it is through free time, it is through accessibility, it is in admiration and encouragement-

This is primarily why my account is the way it is. Women are being chained to 'cook, clean'. When questioned, a man will say she should study the deen at home. You have robbed her of curiosity. It’s essential for this dunya, you are not understanding that you are thieves.

I think one day we will understand how and why. And maybe that day will tear us apart in regret. It is imperative to be curious enough to recognise the signs, instead of simply watching them.

What you choose to be curious about is entirely up to you. And every second, you’re making a choice that’s built on curiosity, or the lack of it. It is mathematically not possible to explore any field of knowledge and fail to arrive at the conclusion that’s already been written.

Every piece of knowledge leads back to the core concept of Islam. It is almost impossible to be curious and not reach the conclusion (unaccepting? yes) Art, math, literature, physics, medicine, poetry, surgery, statistics, cartography- no ilm exists in vain

I think what an individual must try to preserve is curiosity. One can fake a life away, but curiosity doesn’t just let you exist, it forces you to live- through knowledge. Your understanding of life, acts of ibadah, characteristics, body language- it’s all through hidayah

Many of them didn't. Your great-great-grandmother was probably drinking opium for her nerves, sold at the corner shop as cheap as a pint of beer. It was called laudanum, a mix of opium and alcohol that doctors handed out for anxiety, sleeplessness, and "women's troubles." Mothers fed it to crying babies. The babies often stopped crying because they stopped breathing. The men drank. By 1830 the average American was putting away almost two bottles of liquor a week. Whiskey cost less than coffee or milk. People started their day with a shot and ended it with another. Toddlers drank from their parents' rum mugs. ADHD has a long paper trail. A Scottish doctor described kids who couldn't focus in 1798. By 1846 there was a popular German children's book about a boy called Fidgety Philipp who couldn't sit still. In 1902, a London children's doctor named George Still wrote a famous paper on the same kids and called it a "defect of moral control." Same kid, three different centuries. Depression and anxiety had old names too. Melancholia, hysteria, the vapors. Treatments included bloodletting, ice baths, and chaining people to a wall. By 1937, American mental hospitals held 451,672 patients and took up more than half of every hospital bed in the country. Inside the walls, about 1 in 10 patients died each year. Then came the lobotomy. Between 1949 and 1952, around 50,000 Americans were strapped to a chair while a doctor hammered an ice pick through the thin bone above their eye and wiggled it around inside their brain. It took about ten minutes. Sixty percent of the patients were women. About 1 in 20 died from the procedure. Many of the ones who lived came out with no personality left. The man who invented the procedure won a Nobel Prize. Britain's male suicide rate hit 30.3 per 100,000 in 1905. The lowest rates ever recorded in British history are happening right now. Plenty of our ancestors didn't make it. They drank themselves dead. They overdosed on shop-bought opium. They got locked in asylums and never came out. They had picks driven through their eye sockets. They killed themselves in numbers we don't see today. The conditions were always there. The treatments just used to be worse than the disease.

If you don't have a goal so meaningful it makes other people's opinions irrelevant, you will lose control of your life. You will adopt the goals assigned to you by your parents, peers, or society.

Not only USD, Indian Rupee has fallen 11% against Pakistani Rupee 12% against Bangladeshi Taka & 13% against Srilankan Rupee.

Provision isn’t just cash to buy clothes, it’s investments, real estate, business shares, gold under your name with zakah being paid

@Skyontawheed Rather odd statement to sting then

The 'marry into old money' propaganda fed to young girls pits them against each other & contributes to identity loss + materialism + cracks in the understanding of tawakkul A man who grew up with all luxuries will expect the world to bend at his knees to provide for him

Be a wealthy Muslim. Retire your parents. Fund someone’s Umrah trip. Build Masajid. Sponsor orphans. Fund Dawah. Wealth isn’t evil. Wealth is what will move the ummah forward.

La solitude c'est bien que quand tu sais que t'es bien entouré et que tu choisis des moments de solitude. Quand t'es vraiment seul jvous jure c'est tellement pas drole.

What happens when you think outside of marriage apps and coffee shops

If they ever look to marry outside their bubble, it’ll be because literally nobody wants them & they expect you to worship them- including the supposed religious ones. They’re extremely entitled, and will extract ridiculous labour from poor girls hoping a rich man would save them
