Please help — 21F sister, 1 month of nonstop low back pain, MRI done but no answers yet

Hi everyone, I'm really worried about my younger sister and could use some guidance while we wait on the official report.

She's 21, otherwise healthy, and has had low back pain on and off for a while — but for the past month it hasn't let up at all, it's constant now. We got X-rays first but they didn't show anything clear, so we finally got an MRI done today (lumbar spine, axial and sagittal views). We won't get to sit down with the radiologist for the full written report for a bit, and the waiting has been really stressful. I'm attaching some of the scan images (name and other identifying info removed) in case anyone can offer insight or suggest what we should be asking her doctor.

This has been really scary for our family since she's so young and otherwise healthy. Any thoughts, or questions we should bring to her doctor when we review the results, would mean a lot. Thank you for reading

Anyone know good spine doctors/hospitals in Kashmir?

Assalamualaikum everyone, could use some help. A family member (21F) has been dealing with ongoing lower back pain and we're trying to find a good specialist to consult here in the valley. MRI also attached

Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable orthopedic or spine doctor/hospital in Kashmir? Looking for someone experienced with back issues specifically. Any suggestions based on your own experience would be really appreciated.

Need advice: WFH options while studying and working a low paying job

Salam everyone, I'm currently pursuing my graduation through IGNOU and also working a job on the side, but honestly the pay is just not enough to manage things. I'm looking for something else I can do from home, either to earn a bit more or to learn a skill that actually helps me in the future.

I know a lot of people here are juggling similar situations, studying and working at the same time, so I wanted to ask what's actually working for you all. Is it freelancing, tutoring, some online course that led to a job, content work, anything. I'm open to suggestions, even small ones. Just trying to figure out the right direction since I don't want to waste time on something that goes nowhere.

If anyone's been in a similar spot and found something that worked out, please share.

Kashmir Heals — Can we build a community for ourselves?

I've been thinking about this for a while and I want to put it out there.

​

I've gone through countless mental health and trauma communities online. They exist for veterans, disaster survivors, people who grew up in conflict zones. These spaces were built because people recognized that collective healing is real and that sometimes you need to be around people who get it without explanation.

​

But I've never found one for us. For Kashmiris.

​

And we carry a lot. Generational trauma. Loss of people, of childhoods, of normalcy. Anxiety that gets passed down without being named. Grief that has no public funeral. Many of us grew up not talking about it because everyone around us was going through the same thing.

​

So I want to propose something: "Kashmir Heals" Not a political space, not a debate. Just a community where Kashmiris, wherever we are in the world, can talk about healing. Mental health. Trauma. Identity. How we carry our parents' pain alongside our own.

​

A space run by us, for us, that understands our context without us having to explain the history every time we open up.

​

If this is something you'd want to be part of, drop a comment. Let's see if there's enough of us who want this. Because I think there are.

I've fallen into nihilism and feel spiritually disconnected. Everything feels meaningless and my prayers feel hollow. How do I find my way back?

Assalamualaikum everyone,

I'm going through something difficult and I don't know how to explain it properly, but I'll try.

For the past two to three years, I've felt like nothing in life has any real meaning. Everything feels empty, not in a sad way necessarily, just hollow. Like nothing matters. I know intellectually that Islam gives life purpose, but I can't feel it. It's like there's a wall between me and that conviction.

The part that worries me most is my ibadah. I pray, but my heart isn't in it. When I try to recite Quran, something inside me resists, like I'm being pulled away from it. I don't feel khushoo, I don't feel connection, nothing. And the more this continues, the more my life feels like it's slipping out of my control. My nafs feels completely untamed.

Some people have suggested it could be the evil eye or jinn interference. I'm not dismissing that, but I genuinely don't know how to evaluate it or where to start.

My questions for the community:

Has anyone experienced this kind of spiritual numbness or disconnection?

How do you distinguish between a spiritual or psychological crisis and something like ain or jinn?

What helped you return to Allah when your heart felt completely closed off?

Any sincere advice would be appreciated. JazakAllah khair.

I'm a 22-year-old Kashmiri Muslim raised in Sufism who believes but has never truly connected to Allah — how do I actually begin practicing Islam from scratch?

Assalamu alaikum,

I'm a 22-year-old Muslim from Kashmir. Islam has always been around me. My family is rooted in Sufism, so there is more feeling and culture than practice. I believe. I have always believed. But I have never truly connected to Allah.

I want to change that seriously, not just emotionally. I want to understand Islam the way it was meant to be understood and actually build my life around it, the way the Prophet ﷺ modelled it.

I don't want knowledge for its own sake. I want the connection. If knowledge is the road to Him, I'll walk it. But I need to know where the road starts.

A few things that might help you guide me:

I cannot read Arabic or Urdu, but my English is strong

I'm not consistent with salah yet

I feel a genuine longing. I just don't know what to do with it

Where does someone like me actually begin?

What is the single most honest, grounded starting point for someone like me — and what resources (books, videos, channels, apps) should I build from? (I want to go like a noob to advance)

Jazakallah khair.

A colleague pressuring me to apply for JK Ahsayish loan [Need Advice].

Salaam everyone,

I'm in a really uncomfortable situation and need guidance from anyone who has experience with JK Bank loans or knows about legal rights in this matter.

Here's what happened:

A colleague of mine applied for the "JK Ahsayish loan" from J&K Bank and listed me as a guarantor and then his loan got "rejected due to low CIBIL score".

Now he is "pressuring me to apply for the same loan myself and hand the money over to him" . I do NOT trust this person to repay it, and I don't want to be stuck with a loan liability because of someone else's financial mismanagement.

Tamis seet cha baradari sahi magar be chus bahran tamis na wanas. Tamis aate ch 20000 te pren ti tamis chi bakaan hund ti karzi wan kya kare be yuth tamis basi aam ha karo 100% try panin magar loan ha govi ni

Any advice from people who understand J&K Bank processes or have dealt with similar situations would be really helpful.

Colleague is pressuring me to take a loan in my name and give him the money after his loan was rejected — what can I do? [J&K]

Hi, I need some legal advice regarding the loan situation in Jammu & Kashmir.

A colleague of mine applied for the "JK Ahsayish loan scheme from J&K Bank" and listed me as his "grantor (guarantor)" . His loan application got "rejected because of his low CIBIL score" .

Now he is pressuring me to apply for the same loan in my own name and give the money to him. I do not trust this person to repay it and I am scared that if I do this, I will be stuck repaying a loan I never needed for myself.

I want to know:

  1. If I apply for a loan but genuinely don't want it sanctioned, are there any valid reasons the bank would reject it on their own? Like low income proof, existing liabilities, documentation issues etc?

  2. If the loan does get sanctioned and I don't take the disbursement, can I simply cancel or refuse it at that stage?

  3. Is there any way to legally protect myself so that even if I apply, the money doesn't end up being misused by someone else?

Basically I want to understand the loan process well enough so I can either avoid it getting approved or exit at the right stage without causing any conflict.

Any advice appreciated.
