Hameedeh

Salam. There is probably an older topic about body odor, but I didn't have the time to search for it. What I am saying below is not necessarily about the guest who started this topic. It's general information for everyone. Good hygiene using shampoo and bodywash is of course the place to start. Deodorant with antiperspirant will help the body stay fresh longer. Don't use too much perfume because if someone doesn't like your perfume then they are going to be annoyed that you smell too strongly. If you or someone you live with smokes, that smell can get into your clothes and hair. So if you don't wash your hair every day, maybe wash it more often. If you wear the same jacket every day, does it need washing? Maybe it smells sweaty and you are used to the smell and it doesn't bother you. FYI: Polyester, nylon, acrylic and spandex fabrics are hydrophobic (they repel water), but they are lipophilic, meaning they attract and absorb oily skin secretions that carry sweat smells. So make it a habit to never take off a shirt and hang it up to wear it again on another day.

Salam. Rep Ilhan Omar is a person of color. When someone is a member of a minority and the majority can possibly discriminate against them, it would be nice to think that those in authority would say something to calm the situation and try to protect that person from bullying or harm. President Trump and his friends are willing to greenlight the intimidation and arrest of Blacks or African Americans, Indigenous or Native Peoples, Hispanics or Latinos, Asians or Asian Americans, Middle Eastern and North African (MENA), and Multiracial or Mixed-Race; anyone who is not considered white or European origin. Not sure how many people of color have been killed by those who were sent to harass and arrest them.

Salam. Remember that phrase "Some people did something." According to CBS News, three different sources familiar with the investigation confirmed to CBS that US Representative Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, DC was the target of a pre-dawn raid by ICE's investigations unit, in an ongoing criminal investigation. Due to longstanding accusations of immigration paperwork and fraud. Some people are trying to get her locked up and/or deported.

Salam. Shias and Sunnis believe that when a person dies, their soul moves from their body into a realm called Purgatory or Barzakh where they are waiting for the Judgment Day. These souls do not have the freedom to be a ghost and haunt houses or float around a cemetery to scare people. https://al-islam.org/ask/topics/10314/questions-about-Ghost

Salam. Eat protein from halal fish (fins and scales are a sign of halal fish) Some Shias allow eating shrimp or prawns Tinned fish like sardines, salmon or tuna are easy because they don't need to be cooked Other protein items if your stomach can tolerate them: beans, garbanzo or chickpeas, hummus, lentils, yellow split peas, etc. almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, almond butter, peanut butter, etc. eggs plain yogurt with no gelatin and no added sugar if possible cheese if it doesn't make you feel bad tofu or tempeh if you are familiar with those protein drinks that contain less than 5 grams of sugar if your doctor wants you to limit sugar

Salam. Doctors know when the end time is coming. I'm sorry for your mother's situation. It is not a matter of pulling the plug and she dies immediately. You ask the doctor to move her to another room which is in a quiet part of the hospital and probably called "hospice" or "palliative care". She would have oxygen through a nasal cannula, but not a ventilator. The nurse will continue to give her pain medication through an IV in order to keep her comfortable. She would continue to get a medication that dries out the lungs so she won't have fluid building up and choke her to death. I have forgotten the third medication for a dying patient, but the nurse would know what else she needs. While she is being made comfortable with the drugs, hold her hand and tell her how much you love her. Let other family members have time with her and try not to cry. Act like she is still with you, because even though she seems like she is sleeping, she is too tired to open her eyes. She is still there and can hear you. If you can play the Holy Qur'an through a cell phone or a lap top, keep it low enough that she can hear it, but not too loud that it hurts her ears. Read Dua Adeela for her: https://www.shiachat.com/forum/topic/235040674-duas-for-someone-dying/#findComment-2942676 The nurse will tell you that when she is leaving you, her breathing will be slower, maybe three breaths a minute, and eventually will stop. Your dear Mother will live as long as Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) wills. Allah bless you and your family.

Salam. Cream is a neutral color that is gentle on the eyes so go with that if you like it. Both rust and pink contain a noticeable amount of red, so if red is not a color that you like to wear, stay away from those. If an item feels uncomfortable in the back, under the arms, in the chest, waist or crotch, it is too tight. Try the items on in the dressing room before you buy. If you can't return the item to the store to get your money back, give it to someone else or donate it to a store that sells used clothing. Black, white and gray are neutrals that most people choose. Other neutrals are tan, chocolate brown and ivory. Even colors like navy blue or olive green are almost neutral colors.

Salam. I was not being disrespectful. Brother @Abu Hassanain is not following this topic so I was informing him that the OP had replied and that new information was available to help understand the situation.

Salam. The OP replied about three hours before you. Mods did not approve it before you replied.

Salam. Why would she want to do that? If she gets married secretly and becomes pregnant her family will be shocked and horrified. Does she own a cell phone with a camera? Film her discussing with her father about marrying the man and specifically naming the man and him saying Yes.

@amatolah Salam, Sister. The link does not go through. People can go to YouTube and search using the channel username: @Spiritualinsights14 When you find the channel then click on videos. I liked the one called Salam Ya Mahdi | 40 Responsibilities towards Imam Mahdi (afs). InShaAllah I will watch other videos when I can.

On Tuesday, (September 29, 2026), President Trump met with executives of Anthropic, Google, Nvidia, OpenAI and xAI. They pledge to "self-police" their AI development. Trump said that fears that AI is growing too quickly is a hoax and a scam.

Salam. This kind of question on a job application is unusual. It looks like they are trying to make sure not to hire a Muslim who has moral inclinations.
