Nice. Still boycotting Amazon though. Have you looked at Bookfunnel or other publishing sites?

The problem is I do eat small meals. I lose all energy and I gain weight. I don't have sugar in my coffee nor eat much sugary food. By the third week of Ramadan, I have no appetite whatsoever.

I gain because my metabolism slows. Anyone know any tips for avoiding that?

Update: he's alright. Quite red and sore with first and second degree burns to face, neck, and arms, but he's texting a bunch of fire emojis in his work group chat. It looks like he's going to be perfectly fine.

Prayers for my son please. He's in emergency room. They won't let me in yet. They said they'll let me know when they are ready. It's been a while and I'm imagining all kinds of possible scenarios. He was injured at work when an oven exploded in his face.

I dislike democrats and republicans. The only halfway decent national level politician in the US is Grandpa Bernie. If we want leadership, we should look to the park rangers. They're the only ones seriously organizing. None of our politicians are suitable for leadership.

Ew. I despise the felon as much as the next sensible person, but that's demented. If you're not wishing for your neighbor what you would want for yourself, you're going to live a sad and miserable life.

Under Shia jurisprudence a woman can not terminate a marriage but she can ask her husband to terminate the marriage and he must do it. If he refuses, she is stuck. He will have to answer for his oppression on the day of judgement, but that doesn't make her any less stuck. However, in mutah, the woman is not obligated to obtain her husband's consent for her travels. She can not end the marriage but she can simply leave. If she does leave, she can not marry again until the marriage term and iddah have passed.

Whether listening to music at all is permitted is disputed. Rather than asking random internet strangers their opinions, why not ask your marja or another trustworthy scholar?

No. If the girl is not willing to give you her father's contact information, she is not willing to marry you. If you speak with her father and he rejects the marriage proposal because you are Muslim or because you are Shia - and he makes it clear that is the reason - then you can marry her without his permission. If he rejects the proposal because he does not want his daughter involved in a temporary marriage, or because you don't have enough money to support her, or just about any other reason or if he gives no reason, you may not marry her.

You would have to answer for it on the day of judgement, just as any parent who is an oppressor will have to answer for it. Perhaps rather than envy, you should pray for their souls, because eternity is not looking promising for them.

You are held accountable for only what you are capable of fulfilling. Stop making oaths - or at least try. Seek mental health treatment. Forgive yourself. After all those are done, be kind to yourself and continue working toward your goals at a pace you can maintain.

Except in cases where the mother's life is in danger, abortion is not permitted for Muslims. Since you are not Muslim, you should do what your conscience requires, but your ex would be committing a grave sin to recommend you get an abortion and he will have to answer for it on the day of judgement. Fathers are required to provide for the material and spiritual needs of their children whether they are currently married to the mother or not. It is not your business to worry about his reputation; he should have thought about that before having sex with you. Treat this situation exactly like you would if he were non-Muslim, because he is certainly not acting as a Muslim man should.

Trump does lie, but I was reading today about one of his largest donors, a zionist Israeli casino owner named Miriam Adelson. She donated 100 million dollars to trumps campaign in exchange for his promise to support Israeli annexation of West Bank. They might back off temporarily, but all the lies are meant to confuse and obscure, and to shift the expectation. If he says he's going to commit an atrocity then backs down partially enough times, the atrocity will happen right under our noses and we won't even be prepared to fight back.

While horrific, please keep in mind that Trump lies. Almost every threat he has made has been a lie. Meanwhile the south african nazi minion has been hacking the entire US financial system and stealing everyone's account numbers and payment histories.
