Assalamualaikum! Just using a template from another page

  1. ⁠⁠⁠Age and Gender: 25F, 4’11

  2. ⁠⁠⁠Age Range that you would want/require in a prospect: 25 - 30

  3. ⁠⁠⁠Location, and are you willing to relocate for a prospect? West Yorkshire

  4. ⁠⁠⁠Ethnicity: Bengali, open to any ethnicity

  5. ⁠⁠⁠Marital Status: single

  6. ⁠⁠⁠Ideal marriage timeline: 1-2 years

  7. ⁠⁠⁠Five important characteristics you look for in a prospect:

Kind - Someone who has a kind heart, it shows through their mindset, thoughtfulness and care/empathy towards others.

Good communication - Someone who can convey their thoughts and feelings well, for example, if we are feeling any type of way, I would much prefer to talk it out and lay it all on the table rather than reverting to things like the silent treatment. We shouldn’t be walking on eggshells around each other. I would like someone who agrees with this and wants to build a safe and open relationship where we can talk about anything and everything.

A family man - Alhamdulilah I have a good and close relationship with my family both immediate and extended. I love spending time with my cousins, aunties uncles etc. We can sometimes be busy due to work but I always try to make the time. I regularly spend time with and care for my grandad (he’s a cutie).

Ambitious/Motivated/Purpose - I think it’s important to have certain things that keep us going and keep us grounded. For me it’s religion and family. Being able to maintain our purpose will inshallah help us to go far in this life

Protector/Provider - I believe marriage is a partnership and both parties need to be putting 100% in, but saying that, I do want someone who is ready to take responsibility. A man who is dependable and willing to create a sense of stability and security for us.

Easy going - someone who is just chill, not too serious. Someone who can banter, have a laugh etc.

  1. ⁠⁠⁠Religiosity: Alhamdulilah I am always striving to be better. I have been to Umrah once and have been wanting to go back ever since, inshallah I am invited to complete Hajj one day too. Recently I have been thinking about a formal Islamic education. In terms of worldly temptations, I don’t drink, do drugs or any of that sort.

  2. ⁠⁠⁠Level of education: MSc

  3. ⁠⁠⁠Current Job Status: Civil servant

  4. ⁠⁠⁠Do you want kids? Yes, inshaAllah!

  5. ⁠⁠⁠List 3 hobbies, or things you like to do in your spare time

Watching true crime documentaries, going out/exploring - love going to scenic places like reservoirs, enjoying the views, going on long drives and just chatting/listening to music, going to new cities, trying new foods, or even just running errands. Travelling - I haven’t been to many places yet but I have a long list of destinations I’d like to visit one day, like Japan, Palestine, Bosnia, America (basically everywhere).

  1. ⁠⁠⁠Add something short and interesting about you that makes you stand out! I love love, whether it’s romantic, platonic, familial. My people are the most important thing about my life and I care a lot about them. I don’t differ between my friends and family, I see my friends as my family and think of myself as blessed to have these people around me. I can be quite an emotional/sensitive person and experience things deeply, I like sunsets and night skys, making memories and being able to look back them, of course this world is temporary but while we are here I just want to live to the fullest and be able to do that with someone by my side at every stage. When I think of marriage and my future husband, I think of growing up and growing old together and navigating life together, the good and the bad parts. I appreciate this was long so if you’ve read till this point and think we could get along then do drop a message 🫶🏽

Permissible interest.

Aslamwailkam all. I am fully aware interest in any way shape or form is 100% haram. I would like to know it I was to donate it as a pose to keeping it would this be better. I have struggled to stay aflote after Covid all my savings had been used up and since then I've been living paycheck to paycheck. However I recently started banking with Monzo and they offer a features (pot) that save 1-4p x2 daily for 1p day 1, 2p day 2 and so on. However they pay interest into the same pot. Its been massively helpful in helping me pay off my debts and get back on track. My question is can I donate the interest paid to me by Monzo as a pose to keeping it?

TIA

I built an all-in-one Islamic app because I was tired of switching between 5 different apps

Assalamu Alaikum everyone 🤲

For years I was jumping between 4-5 different apps just to manage my daily Islamic practice. One app for prayer times, another for Quran, another for dhikr, another for qibla. It was scattered and honestly made it harder to stay consistent.

I searched everywhere for something that brought it all together but couldn't find it. So I decided to build it myself.

The app is called ImanLock. It's an all-in-one Islamic companion that includes:

🕌 Prayer times & tracker (9 calculation methods, streak system)
📖 Full Quran reader with audio (9 reciters, offline download)
📿 Dhikr counter, adhkar flows & custom dhikr

🔒 Focus mode that blocks distracting apps during prayer times
📚 Islamic knowledge (prophet stories, sohbet topics, sunnah lifestyle)
📊 Tracking for fasting, qada, sadaqah, tahajjud & more
🤝 Accountability buddy system

I'm a Muslim developer and built this purely out of personal need. Ramadan just ended and I want to keep the momentum going — I think an app like this can really help with that post-Ramadan consistency.

Did you ever think you could be one of the millions Allah destined to stay single and never marry?

I see that everyone is waiting, and preparing, and dreaming, and planning, ... while there's a high probability that it will never happen.

This stupid dream controlled my whole life from a very young age. My whole perspective of life is built partially on it. It's impossible to change at this point. How can I get free and just not want anything anymore?? If only I could worship Allah as He wanted me to, and wait for death to be spared of this meaningless life that I'm currently holding on to with all the force I have. If only I were like that.

I envy those religious, empty of dreams muslims. They don't do anything; they don't want anything; they consume what they get; they don't care that no one wants them, that they have nothing special .. no beauty, no people, no money, no fame, no dreams, ... just Allah.

So, what about you? are you in peace with the idea of never getting married? did you ever thought of it ?

it's 02:44 am, I bet I'll regret posting this tomorrow. but yeah ..I'll do it anyway.

Please help

Writing this on behalf of a friend

Without going into much details, this has been found in her brother’s room who recently got married.

He got married in an extremely suspicious and quick way and the woman rushed the wedding and Nikkah not leaving anytime for any thoughts pressuring him that he either marries her on this X day or never.

Anyways the wedding took place where his Family was against it for many many reasons.

Since the wedding has happened, her entire family has became extremely disturbed and distressed from the wedding and this marriage.

There is no more peace in that house, the brother is extremely protective of the wife and will grab a knife over anyone like his mother or sister if they said anything about his wife.

Just to make it clear, No one is against him technically marrying someone he likes but this is not a normal Situation. Whatever this marriage brought is nothing normal.

The Woman is extremely rude and disrespectful towards the entire family and the husband stays quiet about it acknowledging nothing.

Its not even clear that the woman wants furthur as she has controlled her husband to a point that he does not talk to his siblings in fromt of her.

Anyways, the guys mother , her Mother in Law basically went through her room and found this amulet.

Furthermore the guys mother used to pray 5x and has stopped praying completely,. He has been very distressed from the marriage as well and doesn’t know how to handel it as he doesn’t know himself whats happening.

I know the post is very in one direction favouring the family and “ hating “ on the woman, however Believe me when I say that I will not slander another Woman for no reason.

I only gave a few details thinking it will be relevant.

Now this was finally found in the room and my friend told me her Sister in Law has filled her room with her husband’s pictures as well in a suspicious way.

Please give me some insights on what should be done. Will opening this thing help in some way? Its very important to know wether this is something “ regular “ or maybe Sihr as the family has really been suspicious of Sihr because of the extreme change in the guy.

Assalam u alaikum

Criticism doesn’t equate hate

Once, Muadh (rad) led a long prayer in which he recited Surah Baqarah. A man left the prayer and offered his prayer separately. When Muadh (rad) learned of it, he called the man a hypocrite.

That man went to the Prophet (saw) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (saw)! We are people who work with our own hands and irrigate (our farms) with our camels. Last night Muadh led us in the night prayer and he recited Surah Baqarah, so I offered my prayer separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a hypocrite.”

The Prophet (saw) was very upset with Muadh (rad) and said thrice, “O Muadh! You are putting the people to trials?”
(Bukhari 6106)

Scholar Ibrahim Dewla commented:
The Prophet (saw) was very upset with Muadh (rad) despite once saying to Muadh (rad),
“By Allah, I love you.”
(Dawud 1522)

What can we learn from this narration?

Just because someone criticizes you doesn’t mean they hate you.

If the husband receives criticism, the first assumption shouldn’t be that the critic hates him.

Likewise, if the wife receives criticism, the first assumption shouldn’t be that the critic hates her.

24F, India

24F, India

About Me:

24-year-old Indian Muslim woman, never married, currently a student with a strong inclination towards personal and intellectual growth. I am deeply religious and continuously striving to strengthen my connection with Deen in a sincere and consistent manner. I value modesty, simplicity, and a peaceful lifestyle rooted in faith and good character.

I am naturally soft-spoken, nurturing, and emotionally understanding. I truly enjoy creating a warm and comforting home environment and have a genuine love for cooking, seeing it as a way to express care and affection. I am someone who enjoys staying at home, finding peace in quiet moments, while also appreciating simple pleasures like taking calm strolls in nature.

Creatively, I have a deep love for painting, which allows me to express myself and unwind. I appreciate art, beauty in small things, and meaningful, calm experiences over chaos. Family holds great importance to me, and I believe in maintaining strong, respectful relationships.

Personality & Values:

I believe marriage is a sacred bond built on trust, mercy, and mutual understanding. I aim to balance Deen and Dunya in a way that brings contentment and barakah into life. I value emotional intelligence, patience, kindness, and sincerity. I am someone who believes in growing together as partners, supporting each other through all phases of life, and maintaining a home filled with love, respect, and faith.

What I’m Looking For:

I am looking for a practicing, pious Muslim man between the ages of 25 and 28 who is serious about marriage and values commitment. Someone who is consistent in his religious obligations, has a strong sense of responsibility, and leads with kindness and respect.

He should be emotionally mature, understanding, and gentle in his approach, someone who believes in partnership rather than control. Good character and akhlaq are extremely important to me, along with honesty, loyalty, and the ability to communicate openly. I am seeking someone loving and supportive, who wants to build a peaceful, faith-centered life together.

Marriage Timeline:

Within approximately 1 year, InshaAllah

Final Note:

I am only interested in something genuine, halal, and long-term. If you are someone who values Deen, emotional connection, and a stable, loving marriage, and are ready to take this step with sincerity and seriousness, feel free to reach out.

Mahrams

There's a gap for mahram services.

Maybe someone can make a service that offers bridging the gap between male and female.

All the brothers out there with sisters.

Example: I have access to female matchmakers in my Country, but i don't have any females who can speak to them.

Contemplating Tawakkul from Surah Maryam

I really love this moment in Surah Maryam.

When Maryam AS is exhausted, grieving and going through hardest moments of her life, she rests by a date palm. Allah ﷻ comforts her—and then tells her to shake the tree so fresh dates fall for her.

Allah could have provided for her without any effort, just like He sent mannosalwa for bani israel. After all he is the same Rabb that created Isa AS in the most fascinating way solely through her But He still asked her to do her part while guiding her & comforting her.

It shows that tawakkul isn’t passive. It’s not just waiting—it’s trusting Allah while still doing your part.

Even if it’s small. Even if it feels like it won’t change much.

Because the outcome is always from Allah, but the effort is still ours.

First meeting - update

Okay Brothers & Sisters - are we ready for the update?

I took some chocolates and a bouquet of flowers for her. Her brothers being quite chill were perfectly fine with me giving flowers and she said she was over the moon that I brought her flowers!

The brothers were really impressed by me and thought I was great. She was really happy with me and said she cant wait for us to get married. It was easy and we were both relaxed, the chemistry was bang on!

Literally everyone in the restaurant were eyeing us and the staff really made it feel more special as well.

After this meeting I’m really sure about her! Plus we both felt each other was better looking in person!

Addiction and marriage

Assalamualaikum.

I won't go into details.

I'm a revert. 31F. My husband had been addicted to consuming adult media from before we got married which continues till date. I got to know about this, the last year and ever since, life has been extremely difficult emotionally, physically and psychologically. Physically - it's taken a toll on my health but I'd been in therapy but now that too doesn't work. I've got the clarity I wanted.

Now, the thing is, I can't go back home. I can't go live elsewhere.

I still do love him and I want to be with him but I want to rewire my brain into decentering him. He says he needs time but he will quit for good and that it's a process. I trust him but meanwhile, I keep undergoing panic attacks and a lot more.

How can I decenter him? it's so difficult. I've got an anxious attachment and I just don't know what to do anymore. But for sure, I love him and want to support him while he tries to change.

Question for the men here: If you passed away, would you rather have your brother marry your wife or a stranger?

In some cultures there is this tradition that if your husband passes away, you are encouraged to marry his brother. They try really hard to keep the woman within their family.

Of course it's allowed in Islam if both agree to the marriage without pressure. But how do you feel about this?

Would you marry your brother/ sister in law?

Islamic Learning website for the youth!

I built a fun islamic website for kids to learn the deen while playing

Asalamu aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, I have created a little project: https://ilmarena.co.uk/

The aim of the website is to make learning the deen engaging, especially for the younger generation who are used to dopamine heavy content.

The site works as: User chooses age range (which changes the question difficulty), User chooses solo or duo play, duo play is designed for phone/ipad/tablet settings where they would place it between each of them, first of the two players to tap the correct answer gets to play a mini game, within the mini game they can earn points for example 1 mini game is a shoot the moving target with an arrow. If they hit the bullseye they will receive 5 points, hitting the target alone would be 1 and not hitting would be 0. First to 15 points wins.

The questions revolve around the basics of Aqidah and Fiqh to try and establish the basics.

Tech Stack: Flask (don't judge my terrible choice ahaha), javascript (game logic, UI), Docker, deployed using AWS lightsail currently (I understand the lack of ownership and elasticity with this but was the cheapest option), basic monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana.

Beyond this I know I need to increase my question bank and consult scholars to check, perhaps add some background sound however I am not sure what I'd add as I don't want to add the Quran especially if it will not be listened too attentively, perhaps a poem like the poem which made Imam Ahmad cry? Think about accounts too, however perhaps accounts will remove the ease of picking up a tablet and playing.

I'd love any honest feedback as this was just an evening build and any feature ideas Id be more than happy to implement to try and help the muslim youth be more attached to the deen.

JazakAllahu Kheyran.
