This is why as a divorce lawyer, I constantly shout; COHABIT.
I didn’t say go and do weekend or one week together in a hotel.
Live with that man for at least 6months, a year or more together.
Face life issues together.
One person should be sick and hospitalized.
Know how this person looks in the morning on a random Wednesday.
Know if this person washes plates at night after eating or keeps it to the next morning and if you can tolerate this.
Know if this person presses toothpaste from the middle or from under.
Be with this person when something goes wrong and see if you can stand their reaction.
Know if this person prefers soup in a bowl different from swallow or eats them together (on dates the person won’t be comfortable to do this but at home, the masks come off).
Know what she looks like without all the makeup, false lashes, wigs and nails. See her at her natural state; natural hair, no nails, no makeup and find out whether she’s still the most beautiful woman to you.
See him when money is hard and he can’t take you and your friends to weekly dinner and whether it’s him you love or his money.
But you people will date one month, go on few dates to eat pasta and snap cute pictures, your friends will do “aww”, next thing you’re married. Less than a year later you’re calling to ask me “Barr please can we get divorced even though we haven’t been married up to a year?, I never knew he was like this”.
Forget pleasing society, know who you want to marry by living with them before you marry.
A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.

Dear Zuha,
I know you are inquisitive about how our religious days fit into the modern world. It is a brilliant question. I will be breaking this down for you so you can clearly see that Islam is not a copycat. It is a complete system with its own deep, independent roots.
Firstly, you asked: if the Gregorian calendar is not real, why do Muslims pray on Friday, and is there a different Friday in the Islamic calendar?
To help you and others understand, we have to go back to history.
Pope Gregory was the one who introduced the Gregorian calendar, and he introduced it in 1582. However, when you look at Islamic history, you will see that Muslims had been observing Jumu'ah for nearly a thousand years before that Pope was even born. If you open classical books of Islamic history such as the Seerah of Ibn Hisham or The Sealed Nectar, the physical proof is right there.
These books documented the very first Jumu'ah prayer held by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 622 CE. It took place in the valley of Ranuna during his migration from Mecca to Medina. In that same era, Allah revealed an entire chapter in the Quran called Surah Al-Jumu'ah, where He commanded the believers to leave their worldly trades and gather. This proves Yawm al-Jumu'ah was a lived reality in the 7th century, over 900 years before the Gregorian calendar existed in Rome.
Now, you might wonder how this connects to the Friday we know today. Frankly, the seven day weekly loop is an entirely different system from how we count solar or lunar months. It is an ancient, unbroken mathematical cycle. You do not even have to take my word for it. Non Muslim historians and sociologists agree on this.
For instance, Eviatar Zerubavel in his book The Seven Day Circle confirmed that this weekly cycle has remained completely unbroken for thousands of years across different empires. The day the Western world decided to call Friday aligns seamlessly with the sixth day of that ancient cycle.
In Arabic, the days are just numbered. Sunday is Day One. Monday is Day Two. The sixth day is Yawm al-Jumu'ah, the Day of Gathering. This means we do not pray on this day to honor a Roman calendar. That is, it was just a coincidental relationship. We pray on it because Allah established it on a divine timeline.
Secondly, you asked: why is Friday night considered so blessed, and what are you missing here?
To understand this, we have to look at the foundations of human existence. Friday goes more than just the end of the work week. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that Friday is the day Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was created, the day he entered Paradise, the day he was sent to earth, and the day the world will end.
This is why the Prophet had a very profound routine. Every Friday during the early morning Fajr prayer, he would recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan. He did this deliberately. These two chapters detail the creation of the universe, the biological creation of man, and the intense realities of the Day of Judgment. Praying these chapters every Friday morning is a divine reset. It reminds you of your origin and your final destination, both of which are tied to this specific day.
Because Friday carries the heavy weight of the end of times, reciting Surah Al-Kahf is your spiritual shield. The Surah contains stories about the ultimate trials of wealth, power, and faith. Reading it provides a divine light that protects your heart from the materialistic noise of the world and the deception of the Dajjal until the next Jumu'ah.
So by this fact, you are not missing anything. You just need to see that we are not following a Gregorian Friday. We are following a divine timeline. Don’t fret.
Allah knows best.

I have an aunt who used to be Muslim. She turned Christian after marriage.
She visited my mother one day and my aunty stood up and went to make ablution and prayed. My mum was shocked.
She teased her saying “are you praying cuz you visited me”
“No oooo”
“Lati igba ti mo ti fi Islam sile, ni mo man la ala pe mon shalwala”
She is back being Muslim. AlhamduliLlah
If you’re hesitating to apply, take it from me: hit submit. You don’t have to believe in yourself 100% to take the first step. Sometimes the confidence comes after the action. You just have to let them see it.
Imposter Syndrome Almost Took Me Out of the Job Market…. Here’s What I’m Learning
Let me be honest: imposter syndrome has cost me more than just confidence, it’s cost me real opportunities.
There have been times I didn’t apply for roles I was qualified for, because I convinced
work in spaces where we don’t always see ourselves reflected. But it doesn’t have to run the show. Interviews don’t require you to be perfect. They require you to show your value, your thinking, and your potential.
