Hey everyone, how are you doing?

Just to give some quick context, I have a idea about a situation. It's not strictly related to me. I'm a recreational/leisure tennis player. Not a professional or anything like that.

Basically the ATP tour is a mess. It's designed/scheduled in a way that doesnt prioritize health and quality in my opinion. It harms the quality of tennis that we see. Apart from the 4 GS, there are around 9 ATP Masters 1000 tournaments and over 40 ATP 250 and 500 tournaments. Their scheduled in a way that burns players out.

The ATP is to extent run by money hungry executives. A quick example is that the Doha and Dubai tournaments might get canceled or something like that by the ATP (due to "safety" concerns) but at the same time, a tournament in Saudi Arabia is being considered. It's not like Saudi Arabia has been safe from the war.

I have come up with the help of AI and AI checking specific tennis news that I dont check very often a system/proposal/idea of how the ATP tour can be reformed in a way that improves the health of players and overall quality of tennis that we see.

It may sound like I'm being naive and maybe to an extent I am but I like watching and playing tennis and want to see good quality tennis.

Basically I want advice as to how I can spread the word about my idea. How can I actually get something concrete? Any advice on where to start to spread my idea? I apart from social media am kinda lost on where to begin. My idea isnt finalized like still some work left before finalizing it.

Thx.

Fyi I'm 19(M).

Muffin apparently visited some non Bohra business for some investment purposes. Nothing wrong in investing but it matters how u made ur money. We reap what we sow. Haq steel something like that. I‘m not in their cult so it’s not like my money is being spent. Bohras will probably just find another excuse out of many to justify this.

So considering we're fighting a battle against this cult. One of the ways this cult exploits us is by taking our money and using it recklessly and dishonorably. Many Bohras are in debt, either through the Qardan or interest based debt. I made a reddit community a couple of months ago that is about finance and how debt slavery is destroying the world. I personally am interested in the broad areas of finance and economics and banking so ya. My community is called r/Financeslavery. It's a community for all those [regardless of background] who are suffering from debt and financial slavery. Is anybody willing to become moderators in it because I want develop that community. Any sincere help is appreciated. If any of yall are interested then pls DM me so we can proceed. May God bless you all.

A quote I got from Chatgpt was ''Freedom without fear, but also freedom with integrity.'' How can we use these wise words [which I get that its from AI but still] to get DB's who are like brainwashed sheep to live good virtuous lives and also expose Muffin and his corrupt gang or am I being dillusional?

How are you all doing? Have any of yall seen the “The Last Samurai”? It’s a great movie that gives us an idea about life. It reminds of Rumi’s quote that some have found God in the depths of their sins while some have lost Him in the height of their blessings.

Considering that from Muffin’s sermons we can infer that he doesn’t like the west very much, the DB’s who are brainwashed may not have seen the movie and hence its message.

The main character, Nathan Algren was by no means a DB. He was an American Christian who was in the army. Algren committed war crimes and was a sinner. He was ashamed of himself. The last line “But I like to think that he may have at last found some small measure of peace that we all seek and few of us ever find” hits hard. A man who was a war criminal and was ashamed of himself for committing those atrocities with the help of God ended up finding a small measure of peace.

I am fully aware that this is a fictional story and fictional character but the fact is that broken people and sinners have found God. Not all but some have. The DB’s who are brainwashed into believing everything Muffin says is true probably may only see from their DB POV. God listens to all those regardless of their background who are sincere hearted and have a moral conscience.

DB’s NEED to be humble and understand that they are just one group of many who receive God’s mercy. They aren’t the only ones who receive God’s mercy.

May God bless you all.

So one stereotype that Muslims have is that they alot of times say when referring to God, they say the Arabic name Allah. My question is why the emphasis on that one name? There are 99 names of Allah in Arabic alone. God is the English name, Dios is the Spanish name. Majority of Muslims today live outside of the Arabian peninsula and except those in North Africa and the Arabian peninsula a majority of them dont really speak Arabic as their mother tongue. When we all know that God is supreme and sovereign why the emphasis on the Arabic word? What are we gaining by preferring to say Allah over our native tongue’s word for it? Is it to keep the roots alive? What is the reason for the emphasis? I personally don’t get the emphasis and sometimes I have faced/argued with people on social media and heard some people some non Muslims on social media saying that Allah is a different deity. It pisses me off hearing that. I know for a fact that Allah and God are the same. I feel this emphasis on Allah sometimes creates problems and stereotypes that don’t help. How do we change this for the better?

“In God We Trust” is a famous phrase. It’s a phrase that can be found perhaps not directly but it can be found in the Bible and Quran. Considering the corruption and hypocrisy and incompetence that we see in the DB community, the quoted phrase I mentioned above can give us hope. It can give us hope that as we strive to expose the lies and the corruption and the incompetence that we see among the DB leadership we have a God that we can trust in. I understand that the brainwashing that is done will make things very hard but harder things have been done. People like Imam Hussain and Ali and Prophet Muhammad are examples of what can happen when we honorably live by the words “In God We Trust“. May God bless yall and May God help us expose and win over the lies and corruption of Muffin’s and his corrupt gang.

So I live in the Dominican Republic. The DR like other spanish speaking countries has its own dialect. It aint other worldly to the point that people from mainland LATAM wouldn't understand but it's there. Here they tend to use the word ''tapon'' when describing traffic. I usually use ''trafico'' I don't think I've heard the word ''tapon'' outside of the DR. They also use another word for cars. The word they use is ''guaga'' or at least that's my attempt at spelling it out. I usually use ''carro''. How many of you have heard of these Dominican words?

How many Latinos/Latinas follow the Spanish proverb of “Have breakfast like a king. Have lunch like a prince. Have dinner like a pauper”?

I want to have a healthy discussion about namaaz and prayer in general. We as Bohras are taught that namaz is compulsory and a sin if missed. Some are even punished for missing it. This saying which is said to not really be from Marcus Aurelius directly but attributed to his philosophy “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.“ It Is taught in Islam that God is just and doesn’t do an atom’s worth of injustice on anybody or anything for that matter. It is also taught in Islam that God is superior to all things and is supreme. God is NOT weary of preserving his throne because NOTHING can ever reach God’s level. It is said that God doesn’t need our prayers or worship. It is said that if we don’t pray or worship God it does not affect God in any way. It only affects us. Another quote, this one of Rumi “There are no rules of worship. He will hear the voice of every heart that is sincere.” In Islam we are taught to be sincere. According to this quote there are no rules of worship, so if for example one day we don’t pray 5 times but if we are sincere whenever we pray to God then God listens. Keeping Marcus Aurelius‘s attributed saying in mind we SHOULD worship God because we know that God is just in nature. Taking these two quotes in mind we should research the deeper meaning of namaz and worship in general rather than sticking to sticking to Bohra custom. We should treat namaz and worship in general as beneficial to US, not something that God requires us to do because again God doesn’t need anything from anyone. I’m not saying we should pray less or not pray namaz. I’m saying that we should refine our approach towards namaz and worship in general. We should encourage sincere worship of God NOT force it. May God bless you all and ur loved ones.

So I saw this video on the FD YouTube channel. This is a video from 1988 of KQ and MS. I wonder how Muffin followers would respond because technically KQ aka ''daweedar'' is/was the enemy.

''He knows the past, present and future of every indivisual.'' For privacy reasons I wont say who this comment is from. For context this was a comment I received about Muffin. These people/followers of Muffin are straight up doing shirk and attributing traits to Muffin that ONLY God HAS. Khuda hidayat aape.

¿Cuál es su opinión sobre Javier Milei hasta el momento? ¿Ha ayudado a Argentina o la ha empeorado? ¿Cree que las políticas y acciones de Milei ayudarán a que Argentina recupere el poderío que tuvo en el siglo XX? He oído que Argentina es un país hermoso. Personalmente, me gustaría visitarlo algún día. Tambien quiero dicer que no soy Argentino. Soy extranjero interesado en Argentina. Que Dios bendiga a Argentina.

Question for Argentina. What's your opinion on Javier Milei to this point? Has he helped Argentina or made it worse off? Do you think Milei's policies and actions will help make Argentina once again the force it once was in the 1900s or no? I've heard Argentina is a beautiful country. Would like personally speaking like to visit one day. May God bless Argentina.

Hey, so basically I need some advice/suggestion for a situation of mine. I'm 19(m) and um I recently I had a wet dream. So basically my domestic help lady has been with me and my parents since toward end/last quarter of 2023. She was with us till 2025 and left in 2025 dont remember when exactly. She returned in Nov 2025 and has been with us since. I've been speaking and chatting with her u know basically getting to know her and what not since when she came back in Nov. My wet dream was about her and in it I was apparently kissing her on the lips (embarrassed to say it but well have to or else how am I gonna get advise) When I woke up it felt real (very real) to the extent that I felt in my lips that it had occurred. So basically question is that should I tell her about my dream or keep quiet? I don't want to unnecessarily cause problems between us. To me she's a good girl at heart and that what's most important to me so I don't want to trouble her/hurt her in any way. Whatever advice u guys give pls make sure that its advice in which she does not get troubled/hurt. Thanks.

Hey, so I've been in a bit of a mess. I'm 19(m) and looking for some help. I'm new to reddit.

Basically rn I'm not living in the country I was born/am from family wise in and have not visited there since 13 years. Won't get much into the why but long story short, family can be a blessing or a curse and when the country is filled with corruption its even worse.

I've been living in my country since 18' end 19'startish. I was living in a gated community from Feb ish 2023 to Oct 2024. Fam aka parents had bought a plot there inside the gated community in 2022. I had started playing tennis from Feb-Mar 2023 and there I had 2 primary students/colleagues. One of them the first I met her/saw her I got attracted to her. I have not told her but want to. The thing is that I'm a Muslim not really religious and that girl I assume is Christian so I imagine yall know the emotions that can get stirred up when its that sort of situation. I come from a religious not ultra religious family. I'm a only child so I can imagine u guys can imagine the emotions that can get stirred up from this sort of situation. My parents are aware of this situation/of my feelings and they dont like it at least based on their reaction. I moved out from that gated community in Oct 2024 as I mentioned above and I was not happy when we moved and I expressed my displeasure/uncomfortableness at the decision. We still have not gone back at least not primarily living there but I plan living there again as my primary residence when we go back.

I myself am mixed in terms of religiosity. I'm not very religious with the rituals but am spiritually religious. I'm of the opinion that when ur genuinely good hearted, God makes a way. I'm of the opinion that God does not care or is affected by our level of ritualistic devoutness and pays attention to our overall actions in life. ''What we do in life echoes in eternity''. I get my above mentioned opinion from Marcus Aurelius's quotes/paraphrases of his quotes. I'm a big believer in Stoicism and Stoic philosophy and believe Stoicism is highly compatible with Islamic teachings and the way God wants us to live our lives. Not just Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Zeno, Cicero. Even Plato, Aristostle, Socrates can be added.

Now, I'm fully aware of the risks associated with being in an interfaith relationship but I also do not want to live a life of fear and regret. I do not want to make promises that I know I won't be able to keep. I do not want to promise that I'll only marry or like Muslim girls and more specifically Muslim girls from my specific Muslim community which is small in number around a million people based on google search I did and that too scattered around multiple continents. I want to live a free life, but also a life that along with freedom I can give respect to people around me, fam, friends etc. I believe there are multiple ways to reach God. God has a name in every language, God in English, Dios in Spanish, Allah in Arabic, Dieu in French and so on and so forth. I don't want to break with my family so please save yourself the time and don't mention breaking with my family cuz that's not something I want to do. I consider that a sin.

My reason to dislike when we moved out from the gated community was not just this situation, it was another reason as well but I don't think its relevant to my post but if u guys want I can say that reason too.

As I mentioned above, I have not visited my country of birth/where my family is from since 13 years so I also feel that if my extended family from my country of birth and the extended family/cousins that are in other countries and family in general come to know about this, their of course going to have their opinions. I imagine the elders will not like it but I also don't want to let their opinions and certain community expectations which yall know how it can get dictate my life. The Muslim community I come from like I mentioned is small so it also which can be for good or ill, family members/cousins can get involved into each other's lives so basically if I'm with outside faith girl even if it's Abrahamic religion they can and might get involved and u know try to talk me out of it or talk my parents into convincing me to stay within the community which is something I don't feel I can honor my commitment because I was not expecting when I moved to the gated community that I'd get attracted to a girl. Basically my fear/worry I don't want my relationship choices to strain my relationship with my fam, parents and cousins/relatives. Another thing is that and this could be just my fear or maybe its genuine (God knows best) that since I have not visited my country of birth/where family is from where since 13 years so the elders like my grandparents may feel that I'm disconnected to the family and community. Where I live, there's next to none in my community. Reason why I'm saying all this stuff about my family is so that u guys know clearly of my situation in this regard.

Same thing with non family community people but same thing there that I don't want to let their opinions and certain expectations dictate my life. Same thing where I want to be respectful while living my life freely developing my relationship with God.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing ur advice/help. May God bless you all.
