I don’t care what anyone says, wired earphones were better. No charging, no Bluetooth randomly disconnecting, no one ear dying before the other, no bullshit. You plugged them in and they just fcking worked. Technology really complicated something that wasn’t broken.
you can’t afford to go for Hajj but you can definitely afford to stay at the Mosque after Fajr till Sunrise and then pray two raka’ats on the day of Arafah (it’s the same reward)
You cannot:
Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.
That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with giving your girlfriend henna money for Sallah. To me, that’s one of the real signs of love.
Yes, you’re not obligated to. Technically, it’s her father’s responsibility or her own. But what exactly is love if it only ends at “I love you”?
Will those words alone make her feel special this Sallah?
Do better, guys. Send her that 200k for her Sallah preparations, let her feel cared for, spoiled, and appreciated. Then you’ll proudly ask for the Sallah pictures and henna pictures knowing you contributed to that smile.
She feels loved, you feel appreciated, everybody wins.
SOLO TRAVEL TIP NOBODY TELLS YOU: the airport is part of the trip. don't rush through it. get the overpriced coffee. read at the gate. watch the planes. the magic doesn't start when you land, it starts the moment you're alone with your suitcase🤎
Tomorrow after Maghrib, the ten days of Dhul Hijjah begin, among the greatest days in the sight of Allah.
Allah swears by them: “By the dawn and by ten nights” (Qur’an 89:1-2).
Allah does not swear except by something great.
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.
