I’m a 24F Indian Muslim looking for someone who genuinely wants to build a meaningful marriage and family together.
Deen is extremely important to me, and I’m looking for someone whose values align with mine. I want us to grow in our religion together and build a life based on faith, love, respect, kindness and companionship.
I’d really like a marriage where we can be best friends, support each other, enjoy life together and eventually build a family with mutual understanding and respect.
I’m specifically looking for someone who is open to a marriage without physical intercourse, while still wanting all the other meaningful aspects of a marriage and companionship. This is not a lavender marriage or a marriage of convenience. I’m looking for a genuine, loving and committed marriage, just with this particular aspect being different.
If this resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect.

genuine question. are there people who want a meaningful marriage with love, companionship, emotional intimacy and a life together, following Islam and trying to live according to the deen, but without intercourse for different reasons, whether physical or otherwise?
i’m **not** talking about a lavender marriage or a marriage of convenience. i mean a genuine marriage where both people want to be husband and wife, build a life together, support each other, have companionship and follow the deen, but mutually agree that there would be no intercourse.
i’m asking because this obviously isn’t something you can go around asking people in real life, so i wanted to ask here.
are there actually people who are looking for or would genuinely want this kind of marriage?

i need some advice from an islamic perspective because i genuinely don’t know how to deal with this.
i know this dunya is temporary and i know that holding onto hatred and resentment isn’t good for my akhirah. i’ve decided that i want to forgive this person for the sake of Allah and move on with my life.
but my heart hasn’t caught up with that decision yet.
deep down, i still resent him a lot. sometimes i genuinely find myself wishing that he never feels peace or happiness again. i have thoughts like i hope his future marriage is miserable, i hope his wife doesn’t love him, i hope she leaves him, and i hope he experiences the same kind of pain that i felt.
i know these are not thoughts i should be feeding, and i don’t want to become someone who takes pleasure in another person’s suffering. i just don’t know how to let go of these feelings.
i want to completely move on from this person. i want his existence to eventually become completely irrelevant to me. i don’t want to wonder about his life, his relationships, whether he is happy or unhappy, or what happens to him. i just want to reach a point where i genuinely have no resentment left and can leave his entire matter to Allah.
if anyone has gone through something similar, how did you actually let go of this kind of resentment? how do you forgive someone when your emotions haven’t caught up with your decision yet? are there any quranic verses, ahadith, duas or practical things that helped you?
and please make dua for me. please ask Allah to completely free my heart from this person, remove the resentment and attachment from me, heal whatever hurt is still making me wish bad for him, and make his existence completely irrelevant to my peace. may Allah give me a heart that is clean, forgiving and at peace, and allow me to move forward without carrying this into my akhirah.
jazakumullahu khayran.

i can’t seem to change myself. i wouldn’t say i’ve tried really hard, but the drive itself feels missing. the actions are missing, even though i genuinely want to change.
i want to become a good muslim and a good person. i want to be someone with utmost honesty, integrity, respect, loyalty, humility, patience, empathy and forgiveness.
more than anything, i want to become the right person before i die.
i sincerely ask you all to make dua for me. please pray that allah guides me, forgives me, helps me take action, gives me the strength to change, and makes me persistent and consistent in my thoughts and actions.
may allah make me a better person and keep me steadfast. ameen.

i want to address something about shreya kalra in lock upp because a lot of people still see her as just a negative person. from day one, she has been the most relevant contestant. she has never faded into the background.
yes, she fought a lot in the beginning, but people ignore why she was fighting. right from the first episode, she stood up to ram kapoor in front of the host when nobody else had the courage to. how is that a bad thing? to me, that’s a strong personality. she wasn’t scared to speak up for what she believed was right, and i personally think she was 100% right in that situation.
her issue with yogesh and akanksha was another stand i agreed with. if you’ve watched splitsvilla, you’ll know why many viewers already had a negative opinion of them. shreya didn’t pretend to like them for the sake of the game. she was honest about where she stood and played accordingly. i don’t see anything wrong with that.
even her initial fight with sufi made sense if you actually watched the episode. they were talking about her, and she stood up for herself. earlier, when laila was kinda making fun of sufi, shreya supported him because it was the right thing to do.
another thing people hate her for is revealing chamola’s secret. but this is a reality show. it was gameplay, and she used the information to her advantage after chamola didn’t save her. i don’t see why that is such a terrible thing.
people also criticise her for eliminating madhuri, but i think that was fair too. she literally played for madhuri in the previous elimination and helped her. later, when she felt betrayed because madhuri got close to people she had issues with, she chose to eliminate her. that’s part of the game.
she also stopped shilpa when she was saying below the belt things about shivangi. when akanksha kept provoking her, she stayed calm. honestly, most people would have lost their temper in that situation.
on top of all this, she has consistently performed well in physical tasks. she has been relevant from day one until now. a lot of people see that relevance as negative, but i genuinely see it as positive.
does she bitch about people? yes. but she also says things to their face. she doesn’t pretend to be someone’s friend and then talk behind their back. she’s never been scared of confrontation or of standing by what she believes.
for me, shreya is the most deserving contestant this season. she’s had the best journey, the strongest personality, and the only real redemption arc. even in the situations where people hated her, i could understand her side, and more often than not, i felt she was right.

hi im a 24-year-old woman living in Sharjah, and I’m looking to make some genuine female friends.
im hoping to connect with women around 20-25 years old who are either studying or working. i feel like it’s been really hard to meet new people, and I’d love to have friends to hang out with, grab coffee, explore places, or just chat.
if you’re also looking to make new friends, feel free to comment or send me a DM!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

I have a question regarding marriage in Islam.

Is it permissible for two people to get married primarily for companionship, emotional support, friendship, and growing together in deen and knowledge, while mutually agreeing that there will be little to no sexual intercourse in the marriage?

If both parties are fully aware of and agree to these expectations before marriage, would such a marriage be Islamically valid and advisable?

Also, are there brothers/sisters who genuinely seek this kind of companionship-based marriage, or is this extremely rare?

For those who have experience or knowledge regarding this, how would a person go about finding a compatible spouse, and at what stage should such expectations be discussed?

Jazakum Allahu khayran.

for the people who are actually married, is it really as fulfilling as singles imagine? or does real life feel very different from the fantasy in our heads?

assalamu alaikum, can you all please make dua for me. i’m struggling so much lately. i’m sick, nothing in my life is going right, and my imaan has become really low again. i feel like i’m zero in everything and like a complete failure. honestly it feels like i’ve lost both my dunya and akhirah, and i don’t think i’ll live much longer. i feel exhausted mentally, physically, and spiritually, and i just really need your duas right now.

I’ve been craving chaat lately but I’m a bit concerned about hygiene due to some health issues.

Can you recommend clean and hygienic places in Muweilah Commercial where I can safely have chaat?
