[Rant section]

Salam to all brothers/sisters,

This website needs a rant section, where people can vent out their anger/depression/frustration! I am undergoing an extremely difficult phase in my life. So please pray for me, and suggest me some activities to distract myself. Please, and thank you!

Salam, as some of you may already know from my last post, my father passed away after a tough fight with Covid. 
 

Today is the burial and we want to get as many prayers and extra good deeds and amaal to reach him. It would mean a lot if you could pray for him or do any good deeds and send the rewards to him. 
 

thank you for your prayers 

I'm really sorry to hear that. May Allah bless him and may He ease this suffering for you and your family.

I can't go into a relationship whilst pretending to still be a Virgin

Salam Brother, 

While I am not sure about your cultural background,  I think girls don't really bother about boys' virginity. I mean it's not a deal breaker for them A lot of people from both sexes may have done temporary marriage, or may be previously married, or have kids. So no one expects virginity from boys at the very least! So please don't worry about the reaction of your future spouse. If she has to accept you she can and will find tons of other qualities in you. 

That said, I am nobody to judge you or come between a matter which is between you and your God. All I can pray is that may God guide you towards the best.

[What does this world need more of?]

the world needs more and more forgiveness and kindness. learn to be kind to people for no reason, and find excuses to let go of and forgive people for their shortcomings.

[What do you define as the highest success?]

Sorry, if I am deviating from a very philosophically oriented discussion on "success" to a more mundane and "this-worldly" definition of success. For me the highest success includes many things actually! Here are a top few I instantly thought of : a) to achieve my potential (via a fulfilling career), b) being a caring and kind human being and benefitting humanity, c) having a peaceful life with a soulmate. 

[No belief in duas]

I'm better now. thank you for your kind prayers; please keep them coming!

Online work pays very badly because Indians and Pakistanis dominate it and thus they bring the wages down (you can get an indian to make you a website for $5)

this just shows  that there is massive poverty in India and Pakistan, probably their situation is worse than that of Iraq!

Funny how there is a stigma against polygamy and cousin marriages, but men marrying men is considered normal and acceptable.

I find it hard to come to terms with the idea of polygamy.

[Help me choose a hobby]

I don't know how to feel about a man cooking

Salam brother. Here are my views:

1) there's absolutely nothing wrong about a man cooking. At 90% of the restaurants, hotels and cafes, it's men who cook! Regarding your hobbies

2) Learning a language is much more productive than drawing or writing (unless you intend to make a career out of it). Learning a language opens up new pathways for you to work internationally. If you chose to learn a language, I'd advise you to learn French or Spanish as they are more widely spoken in the world as compared to Japanese.

3) Being a computer science major is actually very cool. Programming is one of the world's highest paid jobs! I really hope that you get an excellent job!

4) I read your post about you graduating on top of your class. I'd advise you, brother, to apply for Masters degrees in Europe. With your grades you can land a scholarship.

May God bless you and makes things easy for you.

Get a job!

It's been almost 2 years since I graduated as an honor student and top of my class and I still can't get a job in Iraq

I feel humiliated to be almost 25 and living off of support from my parents. At this rate I couldn't get married and start a family at all

 

God bless you brother. I really hope your situation will improve Inshalla.
