@rkazmi33 sister calm down and think of the story of our own Prophet (saww) and him marrying Lady Khadija (sa). Money isn't everything to some people, and that is a good thing.

Wa alaikum Salam sister. That sounds really tough having to go through months of separation. Ideally this would not be the case at all, I hope the situation changes so you two can be together. The only thing I can think of would be to spend those months living with family instead of by yourself, and then move back home when he is home. I bet threads and forums of army wives have some useful tips if you can find some of those. I'm sure it's just a Google search away. Wishing you the best.

I have been seeing some things go around about Hadith saying when a little boy is killed in Medina, the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (عجّل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) is very near. Anyone have anymore info about this? Do you think it's connected? Is it an authentic Hadith?

This is true in my case. I'm only accepted in my community because I'm married to a Middle eastern man. Before that I was invisible. I hate it when I'm meeting or talking to someone and instead of asking me about myself, they are more interested in who I'm married to. Also I think Muslims are fascinated by interracial marriage so they get stuck on the topic like, "how in the world did that happen??" And don't care to know me as a person. So I don't know how much I'm assimilated per se but at least I'm not completely invisible anymore. Note I am not a revert but both my parents are thus I'm not one of the "typical" Muslim ethnicities.

Thank you for sharing! We grown ups can def brush up on this info as well. I am really bad at memorizing dates and places but something like this inshaAllah is a good visual reminder. May Allah reward you and may your kids benefit and be inspired.

Hmm I always thought boiling gets rid of more nutrients by getting lost in the water. Plus some oils are healthy for you, like coconut oil. So is it really healthier to boil your veggies?

You tell me... I've happily gained almost 10 pounds in the past 2 weeks

I did some freelance work from home. Painting, illustrating, etc. I also took some online classes I was interested in. Besides that, dinner, laundry, shiachat, etc.

I'm filing taxes now. If I admit that I didn't have health insurance for the whole year (I got it in March) there is a big fee. Can I just put that I had it the whole year to avoid the fee or is that haram?

I can't quite figure out if some memories are real or not. Or how much is real/unreal. So I'm just waiting for my life to flash before my eyes when I die so I can confirm what really happened.

I see, yeah that's common. I hope that you will always be able to keep up your art no matter what you decide to do. Having a talent like that is not something to be wasted. inshaAllah you find a way to utilize it and pursue whatever else you like at the same time. I've never heard of medibang paint, I'll have to check it out. My Photoshop subscription just expired but I am currently using Krita which is free too.

Ate: Breakfast which was scrambled eggs with cheese and spinach, toast, and leftover cooked veggies from last night... and then 3 Neapolitan icecream sandwiches. Because I'm an adult and I can.

@Hadeel I checked out your other work. Wow you have an amazing grasp of color and light! And you're very young too, I could easily see you becoming a professional and doing some great work for Islam through your art You've inspired me to draw today after many months of not drawing, thank you! By the way what program are you using?

Please reflect on the irony of this statement... Firstly you're supporting the US wholeheartedly without criticism. Secondly, if she considers Iran her country, she is defending her country against the bashing that the US is obsessed with against Iran. Maybe the one you hate is yourself...

Of course there is a "reason." That reason may be fear and intimidation, trying to make an example out of her, trying to silence her, etc. It's ridiculously naive of you to think the US only arrests someone for just reasons. They admitted themselves there is no charge against her.
