Happy New Years, may this year increase everyone’s happiness and iman inshAllah.

[Gaius I. Caesar 8,443]

Wow, new year. Crazy to think I woke up last year.

[Don'tMakeAس 1,990]

New year new me. 

[notme 20,219]

Too many things to do. I don't want to begin. Someone say something motivational to me? 

(It's just chores, nothing terrible, though cleaning out the fridge is going to be close to terrible.) 

[KnowledgeSeeker36 153]

@notme I would say start some of it and see where you go from there.

Think of the end goal and how you’ll feel once you actually complete it all. Then take small steps in actually getting it done. Maybe even rate how you feel before and after so it gives you motivation for next time (even though you already know, it’s good to have it in front of you sometimes).

I think I'm at the point where I've progressed from shaykh to Arabic grammarian.

Nudity, violence, racism, all manner of disrespect toward women are all ok on Netflix. A comedian making jokes about Saudi Arabia is over the line. I guess we know who pays their bills.

Not mocking anybody's resolutions but I found it quite funny...

We heard on the news about Muslims who were newly elected and were being sworn in while putting their hand on the Holy Qur'an owned by Thomas Jefferson (instead of the Bible as most have done).

The American system doesn’t care about their religion because it’s foundation based on liberalism but I hope they don’t give vote against Islam & muslims specially Iran & don’t prefer their party to their religion

That's a really troubling development 

I want no Sunni hijab is as public officials in my country 

[Panzerwaffe 1,206]

Maybe brother  @Islamic Salvation can come out with his book this year. He has contributed so much for free here

We are indebted to you

I’m so sorry for your loss dear sister. May Allah reunite her with you Inshallah

Not off to a good start here. New years day I spoke to my son. He's in hospital, terminal cancer, won't make his 38th birthday. Flying across the country, will see him Friday. They are keeping him until I get there, then moving him to palliative care.

My condolences, and prayers for your son and all your family. 

Tragically young. Does he have a spouse? Children? 

[Laayla 4,606]

@Son of Placid

One of the most tragic events in life is burying your own child.  May he rest in peace.  God give you patience and strength.  You will be in my thoughts.  If there is a virtual book of condolences, I would like to send a message.  I understand if it's a private matter though.

Not really sure what it is yet.  Everything up until today has been filtered through my X. I talk to a doc and get conflicting reports. I'm flying out Thursday, will see him Friday.

Prayers for my son for clarity of mind.

Thanks.

Is it wise to open a savings account? Also should you open it with the same bank as your checking? Does anyone have any kind of advice?

I'm not sure how I feel about Facebook reminding me of the birthdays of my deceased friends and relatives. On one hand, it's good to periodically think of them and a little reminder doesn't hurt. On the other hand, it doesn't seem a celebratory occasion anymore. 

[Soldiers and Saffron 6,661]

Is it recommended to clip your nails on thursday or on friday?

Also, its pronounced silat ul raham, why do some people write it as silat ul rahim?
