.Hajar.

i think I know what I want to make for the cooking competition but bear with me cause it’s a really busy time but I will try my best to get it done by the due date.

it’s inspired by a bunch of things I saw on Instagram but nothing really specific so I’m not sure about citing my sources cause I don’t even remember what they are

Alhamdulillahhh happy for u brother 🙏🏼

Mubarak bro. I'm really happy for you bro. This is the start of good things Insha'Allah. Go and break a leg bro!

[arifahze]

I need to stop or at least make effort in reducing my dose of listening to music >_<

Insha'Allah you'll get it.

The prospects for career development for a job like this would be really good. Don't be too hard on yourself you got to the interview stage and you gave a good interview. That's a real achievement, now just wait for the results. Insha'Allah it will be good news

Not everything needs to make sense though. Why do we wipe over the khuff as opposed to under it? We hear and we obey. This is part of having faith in Allah. There are some rulings in Islam which are matters of worship & their reasons are not known.

If people give reasons that dont make sense eventually others will point that out

[.Hajar.]

Wouldn't that mean there is no spirituality for us for 7 days a month - if salah is needed in order to have spirituality? Cant you get it in other ways....duas, reflecting, learning, quran.

I dont actually have problem with the fasting rule. just with reasons that dont make sense to me

...there are still many that cant relate to 'periods are so difficult', it's not relevant to their situation yet they follow the rule. (I'm ok with the answer I've found)

Of course you can, sister, and that's what we do/ that's how we maintain our spiritual connection with Allah during those times and that's why I said affected and not lost..sorry, if I wasn't clear or I confused you. I am editing your post a bit since it contains too much info for the main forum.

Alhumdulillah

If you haven’t already, I advice you to do 2 rakaat nafl salah to show your gratitude to Ar Razzaq

May Allah make you successful in your new job and bless your earnings & make your new job a means to get closer to Him, subhanahu wa ta aala

I meant people often fast for different (personal and/or non-spiritual) reasons, as Muslims however we often fast (like in Ramadan) for spiritual reasons. This element of spirituality is affected when we can't keep up on our salah, and anybody can fast of course but if a Muslim woman were to fast while menstruating then it's just starving your body and/or putting yourself through something unnecessary which then becomes not spiritual and loses the meaning while also being not encouraged by Islam, you know.

I had/ have these questions, too..of course..but I just try to view Islamic injunctions/ rulings rationally knowing that whatever Allah ordained is for the best, subhanAllah.

Im excited about the possibility of returning to university

a part time 2-year masters fitted around a full time job. It will be incredibly hard, but i am ambitious

we will see what happens

What are you doing your Masters in?

I am still doing my Islamic Studies and have a long way to go before I can do my MA with the same uni.

Congratulations btw.

Richness does not come from the money and wealth you make, but it comes from the contentment within yourself

Ok. I dont have that so the money would be nice
