Salaam girls 🥹

I have a uni test in an hour and I’m so scared.

Please make prayer for me that I pass, I would appreciate it so much as a strangers dua can go a long way. 💕

Hi girls! 🤍

I just wanted to rant on here a little bit.

I know this sounds pathetic but I think one of the hardest things to admit to myself is how badly I want close friends. Like genuine friendships where I feel chosen, cared about, included, and important to people. I genuinely just crave close friendships so badly and it saddens me lowkey.

Sometimes I see girls with friendships that look so easy and secure and I genuinely wonder what that feels like. To have people you can call anytime, people who think of you first, people who make you feel loved in a soft and consistent way because I don’t know what that feels like.

I try not to let things get to me, but I think I’m more sensitive than I pretend to be and I’m kind of tired of putting up a wall. Obviously I think this is because of how I felt growing up and how quickly I became way too aware of whether people care about me or not.

I’m a nice girl, I promise, and I actually have so many hobbies and interests I want to talk about like reading, writing, painting ect ect and I think that’s part of why this whole thing feels a bit frustrating for me sometimes because I like having conversations that go beyond small talk. I want to talk about things I care about, hear what other people are into, and actually connect over stuff we both enjoy. It feels a bit disappointing when it doesn’t go that way or when I don’t really know where I stand with people.

I’ve recently gone through something and even that I can’t talk about because I have no one to talk to it about. It makes me sad and I often cry about it more than I’d like to admit lmao

I commented on a post replying to a woman struggling with something and wallah the fact I had 5 men dm me in the span of 7 minutes was disgusting.

What’s wrong with you people? Are you not ashamed? Do you not fear Allah?

A woman speaking about loneliness, emotional struggle, or replying to another post is not an invitation for YOU random men to enter her DMs. Especially in an Islamic space where people are supposed to feel safe being vulnerable without ulterior motives attached to it and It’s honestly disappointing seeing how quickly some of you take a sister opening up as an opportunity instead of lowering your gaze and respecting boundaries.

And before anyone says “they were probably trying to help”, please be serious. Anyone over the age of 13 knows exactly what they were trying to do. There is a difference between publicly giving advice for the sake of Allah and rushing to privately message someone after finding out they were a woman.

Some of you genuinely do not realise how predatory it comes across. A sister could speak about loneliness, friendship struggles, mental health, or insecurity in ANYYYYYY (even subreddits created just for women that somehow men have managed to enter) thread and within minutes random men appear trying to start private conversations. It’s uncomfortable and it pushes women away from speaking openly in Muslim spaces at all.

Fear Allah and learn boundaries. Not every woman online is an opportunity for you.

Hi girls,

Please make dua for me, I have a test and a meeting tomorrow with my university and I’m really scared for it because I feel unprepared. 🥲

Thank you so much 💕

Hi!

Has anyone dealt with a receding hairline or hair loss and found anything that actually helped?

Since I started wearing hijab l've noticed my hairline slowly getting worse. I think my undercap might be part of the problem and l've also been losing more hair than usual. :(

I really love my hair because it's fairly long and goes below my waist and below my hips. I'm only 18 so seeing it change like this has honestly been upsetting knowing it has affected my confidence a bit because my long hair has always been something I feel good about.

Thank you! 💕
