Why are Muslim guys falling behind compared to other immigrants?

Salam guys, I live in New York and there is a diverse population here. The guys that seem the most hardworking, ambitious and successful are Indian and Chinese guys.

I used to teach in NYC public schools and used to see how dedicated Indian and Chinese high school boys were. They used to participate in school activities and mentor other students. They really put in hard work. And you can see that reflect on our society. Indian and Chinese guys are dominating Ivy League schools. Becoming doctors, engineers, lawyers and other high pay jobs.

I know many Muslim guys are like this too but I have seen many of them don’t really have interest in education. They want to open up sm0kd shops, convenient stores (many that sell aIcohol), etc. I also see many 35 year old men living with their parents. Why do you think this is the case?

My mom’s friend is a matchmaker and she says she always receives female candidates who are highly educated they are doctors, engineers, dentists and etc. They want prospects with an equivalent background but struggle to find one since many Muslim guys are not ambitious. There are some out there that don’t even complete bachelors degree.

What if somebody crashes your wedding ?

Let’s say you’re having your wedding. A random couple passes by and decides to sneak in to get some food and have fun on dance floor. You catch them. How do you react?

How come “nazar” doesn’t seem to affect white people?

I noticed that elderly desi people are always paranoid about nazar. They say stuff like don’t post your pics online, don’t tell people your success, etc.

They say all these things will be the cause of your downfall. Meanwhile, I see white women posting their sonograms on social media and having like 5 kids. If nazar was that big of a deal, wouldn’t jealous people put nazar on women who post all their sonograms on social media. And make them infertile ?

And many people post their love life online and are married for years. Going without divorce.

I never hear white people being scared of “nazar” and post all their success stories online. And they never seem to be affected by it either.

Meanwhile I hear some brown people (especially Faryal Makhdoom) talk about nazar and how posting online has put lots of trouble in their lives. What do you guys think?

Running a yard sale right now was a horrible idea

Hey guys,

I had a yard sale this weekend and did absolutely horrible. I made ONLY $9 yesterday 😭. I guess it because everyone is having one right now as it’s warm and still summer.

But when I did it during spring I did a lot better. Made $250+. During that time, I don’t think there were yard sales.

I hosted a yard sale in like November like 9 years ago and did good too (even though it was cold outside).

Is it a good idea to try again in November ?

Why do many Americanized & Pakistani foods have same base ingredients?

Hey guys,

I recently started cooking and I noticed that almost all Pakistani and “Americanized” foods have pretty much same ingredients which include tomatoes, red peppers, and chicken/beef. 🌶️ 🍅 🐔 / 🐂. And when I run out of any of these ingredients, I can’t cook without them.

Pakistani foods for example:

Nihari: beef with a chili seasoned broth
Chicken curry: chicken with tomato and chili broth
Chicken karhai: chicken in tomato paste curry
Chicken biryani: chicken with rice made of tomatoes and chili pepper seasoning
Tandoori chicken: chicken with yoghurt and red chili marinade
Butter chicken: tomato paste and red chili powder

Americanized food

Chicken Parmesan: chicken sandwich in tomato paste
Chicken enchiladas: chicken tacos filled with cheese smothered with chili sauce
Spicy chicken sandwich: chicken sandwich made with chili pepper breading. Often paired with ketchup.

I’m Pakistani American who recently started cooking and noticed that almost everything I cook uses pretty much the same ingredients as base lol. Have any other Pakistanis noticed this?

How common is it for women to live with in-laws these days?

I know many women these days are now starting to stand up for their Islamic right’s and refusing rishtas where they ask women to live with in-laws. As they should without feeling any shame!

But I know it’s still very common unfortunately. How many women live with in-laws.

I don’t understand why Islam is so pro-divorce ?

Salam guys,

I always thought that Islam is a very family-oriented religion. I know some branches of Christianity completely forbid divorce. In the amish community for example, divorce is almost 0%. It’s a community where families thrive. And there is no grieve of divorce or broken families. If a couple has issues, they solve it through community members. Divorce probably doesn’t even come up on their mind. There is a solution to every problem.

Meanwhile in Islam, divorce is so easily taken that it even shocked me when I first found out about it. Like all a man has to do is SAY talaq and that’s it. A broken family with miserable children that will probably be mentally traumatized for the rest of their life. And Muslims these days are taking advantage of this and divorcing for the pettiest reasons. And plenty of men regret later saying they said it out of anger. It’s so horrific.

Why ? Why does Islam make divorce so easy ?

During rishta process, why do men often talk about how important their parents are ?

Salam,

We are looking proposals for my sister and I’ve noticed a lot of men say stuff like “I want to continue living with my parents because they’re old and I want to care for them”.

As if women’s parents aren’t getting old. Why do men often feel like their parents need special attention than women’s parents ? Is it arrogance ?
