Hi friends
Years back,
• You can easily identify a Muslim from a non muslim.
• Largely by
- -Mode of dressing
- -Manners
• Today, that’s no more!
• Muslim Men
- -have punks
- -smoke whatever
- -gamble
• Muslim Women
- -wear whatever
- -twerk
- -expose whatever
Bc they’re civilized.
Have you ever cursed anyone?
By curse I mean wishing the wrath of God on someone.
I used to.
My catholic friend would explain to me why is that so arrogant asking God for something like this.
She would say its not for us to tell God what darkness we wish for others.
She would say tell God “I leave the matter to You”

Everything is falling out of place because we have moved away from Islam. When Islam is followed the right way, life, family, society, and purpose all fall back into their proper order.
Think for a second or even for hours.
Do you pray? And if you do, are you praying properly?
Do you remember Allah with morning and evening adhkar?
Do you guard your tongue from backbiting?
Do you protect your ears from music and useless distractions?
Trace your steps backward, and you may find exactly where things started going wrong.
If you are neglecting all of this, then you should not be surprised when life feels difficult in every direction.The reason things are not working even finding a righteous partner is because we need to trace our own steps back to Allah(swt)
I have not hidden my identity for any hidden motive. My intention is only to sincerely remind my Muslim brothers and sisters, not to impress anyone or gain anything from it.
May peace be upon you all.
I came across a few female profile where they are searching for a guy with no feminine traits. We are living in the 21st century, etero guys goes around with makeup and painted nails, therefore, can someone explain to me what are those traits? When something begin to become feminine? Where do you trace the line between masculine, feminine and androgenous?
📖 A Thought About Marriage Apps, Self-Awareness, and Human Nature
I often read people blaming marriage apps for the state of modern relationships.
But the older I get, the more I wonder if the app is simply revealing us rather than creating us.
A pen can write a love letter.
The same pen can forge a signature.
The pen is not the problem.
The hand holding it is.
Likewise, a marriage app is merely a tool.
A sincere person can use it to find a righteous spouse.
An insincere person can use it to seek attention, validation, entertainment, or ego gratification.
The tool remains the same.
The intention changes.
Many of us arrive here carrying invisible stories.
Some are divorced and trying to rebuild after disappointment.
Some are widowed and learning how to hope again after loss.
Some have never married and are wondering if their chapter will ever begin.
Some have experienced betrayal.
Some have experienced abandonment.
Some have experienced loneliness so profound that even a simple “How was your day?” feels like a gift.
Yet despite our different journeys, many of us are searching for the same things:
Trust.
Safety.
Respect.
Companionship.
Peace.
And perhaps most importantly, someone who sees us as a soul rather than a profile.
Yet something strange often happens.
The search for connection slowly becomes a search for validation.
A brother speaks to multiple sisters simultaneously, not because he sincerely sees a future with all of them, but because each new match temporarily reassures him that he is desirable.
A sister carefully crafts a profile that attracts attention, not necessarily because she seeks vanity, but because attention briefly soothes the fear of feeling unseen.
Neither is evil.
Both are human.
But both may be confusing validation with connection.
The philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote that much of humanity’s suffering comes from our inability to sit quietly alone with ourselves.
Modern technology did not create that problem.
It merely amplified it.
Social media amplified it.
Dating apps amplified it.
Marriage apps sometimes amplify it too.
We often say we are looking for a spouse.
But are we?
Or are we looking for proof that we are still wanted?
There is a profound difference.
Viktor Frankl, in Man’s Search for Meaning, observed that people can endure extraordinary hardship when they possess meaning.
Likewise, people can endure long periods of singleness when they possess purpose.
The real danger is not singleness.
The real danger is emptiness.
Because an empty heart will often seek validation wherever it can find it.
This is where self-awareness becomes critical.
Self-awareness asks uncomfortable questions:
💭 Am I genuinely seeking marriage?
💭 Or am I seeking attention?
💭 Am I emotionally available?
💭 Or am I simply afraid of being alone?
💭 Am I evaluating others fairly?
💭 Or am I chasing unrealistic fantasies?
The ancient Greeks inscribed the phrase:
“Know thyself.”
Thousands of years later, the advice remains relevant.
Because the person least understood in our lives is often ourselves.
Many people know exactly what they want in a spouse.
Far fewer understand their own fears, insecurities, attachment wounds, and emotional blind spots.
We discuss red flags in others.
Rarely do we discuss the red flags within ourselves.
The Qur’an repeatedly calls human beings toward reflection.
Not merely reflection upon the world.
But reflection upon themselves.
📖 “And also in yourselves. Will you not then see?” (Qur’an 51:21)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us accountability before accountability arrives.
The scholars would often speak about muhasabah—taking account of oneself before Allah takes account of us.
Imagine if before every match, every message, every conversation, every rejection, every ghosting, every disappointment, we asked:
“What is my intention?”
That single question might change everything.
Marriage is not meant to be a marketplace of egos.
It is not a competition for attention.
It is not a collection of admirers.
It is not an endless audition process.
Marriage is a sacred covenant.
A trust.
A responsibility.
A means of drawing closer to Allah.
The irony is that many people claim to seek emotional maturity while demonstrating emotional immaturity.
Many seek loyalty while being inconsistent.
Many seek honesty while presenting carefully edited versions of themselves.
Many seek self-awareness while avoiding self-examination.
Perhaps the greatest relationship advice is not found on an app at all.
Perhaps it begins in the mirror.
Because the quality of our relationships is often limited by the quality of our self-awareness.
The app is not the problem.
The pen is not the problem.
The mirror is not the problem.
The question is:
How are we using them?
And perhaps the better question is:
Who are we becoming while we search?
