I follow some videos that show phonetics at the bottom of how to pronounce in Arabic I believe I am reciting surah al fatiah and al ilkhlas in my isha prayer.

I’m slowly working my way into learning how to pray, tonight for a change I found some snip bits of the prayer translated in English which I repeated after the Arabic. It made me feel better knowing what I am saying because for the past while I haven’t had any idea what I’m actually saying except for small parts like Allahu Akbar etc.

It’s things like rabbi igfir li, Subhana rabi ala so on and so forth I don’t actually know what mean. Online there’s so much stuff so I’m constantly stopping mid prayer trying to find the exact translations lol.

Any help appreciated, at the minute I’m finding the videos are too fast paced for me, I know all the movements now which I’m happy with so me working with pictures would be best now.

Thank you so much.

I began thinking about how all of the people at the time of the prophet peace be upon him became Muslim in the exact same way reverts today do.

They heard the message and followed.

But when I began thinking more, I guess this is the case for every able minded Muslim. Just because you were raised Muslim does not make you a Muslim, just because your family and everyone around you is Muslim does not make you Muslim either. When we go from being a child to adolescent and develop more conscious thoughts surely even those who were raised Muslim still have to actively choose to be one. This is probably why it is so encouraged to not just blindly follow but actively believe.

I’m not saying that this path isn’t obviously harder for reverts I know that it is myself because rather than having people rooting for you it’s usually quite the opposite. But I guess it has reiterated for me that no matter what path of life you come from we all walk the same path together.

I’m a 32A for reference (barely). However the pictures I sent my surgeon my nipples were slightly hard and he confirmed I don’t have tuberous breast. I don’t even know how to reiterate that they don’t always look like that, I’m embarrassed to say I was a bit cold when I taken the picture.

My nipples between warm/cold literally is like looking at two different people. And 100% I do have tuberous breast they are literally identically to some of the girls breasts on here.

I am so so grateful I found this page, my sister was diagnosed with pcos, I have tuberous breasts and of course pcos can be genetic. When I done my research I began realising there was some what of a tie between pcos and tuberous breasts.

Im 22 and recently my periods are becoming very spaced out it’s beginning to make me think do I have pcos?

Also I am due to get breast implants and a nipple correction in August. I have mild tuberous breast when my nipples are hard you would never know but the second they go soft it is like completely different breasts. Is anyone else the same?

It’s only now do I realise how truly insecure and petrified am I when it comes to anyone seeing my nipples.

This page has made me feel better ❤️‍🩹 can’t believe I’ve only found it now!

I am not a raised Muslim and my only real introduction or ties to any Muslim was through my ex boyfriend.

I couldn’t give one specific reason as to why I did what I did but it was rather a multitude of reasons.

I struggle to accept the fact that I completely changed the trajectory of my life through one decision.

I really have 0 intentions to ever be in a haram relationship ever again, and not to overly excuse myself but when I entered this relationship I wasn’t a Muslim and I didn’t know anything about Islam.

It’s hard for me to not think about him or the potential life we could have had but it’s been almost a year and I can’t live like this forever.

I have been learning to pray and I make dua every night. I make dua that I forget about him and it has not yet happened. I also have been seeking forgiveness for terminating the pregnancy if only I had trusted in Allah fully I wouldn’t have done it.

The positive from this lesson is that even though it pains me every day when I just think about the what if, it reminds me why we shouldn’t engage in zina.

I know nobody can tell me that this feeling will go away, but is there any other mental work I could be doing alongside my duas to help me just leave things in the past. It’s almost like there’s a what if life living inside my head every day and my heart just cannot accept that I gave that life up and I won’t get it back.

I think Allah said in the Quran prayer is better than sleep not entirely sure but that’s a beautiful phrase anyway.

However, during the summer time I had been thinking how far spread apart the prayers are and how difficult it must be to pray isha then get up for fajr early what do people do after fajr? Going to attempt to pray it for the first in the morning god willing.

I fear if I slept after fajr I’d fall into a deep sleep and probably miss work etc, do some people go back asleep after. Do some people pray fajr as late or as early as possible can you make it fit your routine?

It’s going to be different for every person but I’d like to hear what people have to say ! Thank you
