I'm getting married soon, InshaAllah, after a lot of patience! To anyone still waiting: never give up hope.

I have a question that might sound a bit silly, and I know there's probably no miracle answer. On the wedding day I'll be wearing makeup for the official ceremony, the party, and so on.

For those of you who are married (or husbands who know about this), how did you organize things so you didn't miss any prayer that day and could still make wudu?

The only solutions I see so far are:
- Keeping my wudu all day, which is a bit hard, lol
- Paying for a second makeup session during the day

But maybe you have other tips?

Thanks in advance !

If you think you can pair modesty with whatever is fashionable and call it hijab, then sadly, you have not understood the concept of modesty that Allah تعالى commanded .

Hijab is not just placing a scarf on your head while wearing jeans, a fitted abaya that outlines the body or leaving the chest uncovered. The clothing itself has conditions . It should cover properly , be loose rather than tight, be thick and non-transparent and not be designed in a way that attracts attention . It should also not resemble men's clothing or be a garment of fame and display .

The Prophet ﷺ warned about women who would be “ clothed yet naked .” The problem today is that the hijab has slowly become an aesthetic .

A fitted abaya is called modest, a half-niqab becomes an accessory and covering a few parts is enough to label the whole outfit as a hijab.

But calling something hijab does not make it hijab.

And this becomes even more concerning when influencers turn these styles into something young Muslim women want to imitate. Because hijab is not a trend to follow. It is an act of obedience .

So don't let social media teach you what hijab is. Learn it from the Qur’an and Sunnah .

Dear brothers, I am looking for other people in the Computer Science and/or AI space in-sha-Allah, and I simply wanted to form connections with people in-sha-Allah with regards to this sort of stuff.

I mainly work with Claude Code and ChatGPT Codex, and I've tried to build my own software, do outreach with it in-sha-Allah, and in-sha-Allah make some money with it. No success yet though, but in-sha-Allah if we keep grinding, it will come bi-idhnillah.

I am looking forward to meet you all, in-sha-Allah you guys can comment below or just send me a DM personally.

I appreciate you guys reading this nonetheless, in-sha-Allah we can do something great.

I do not care if this insults you, hurts your feelings, stirs your fantasies, or drives up your desires... for your emotions aren't a source of truth.

You aren't knowledgeable in any way, shape, and form about politics.

Let alone complex geopolitical connections, pacts, treaties, and the overall interdependent nature of countries which operate in a heterogeneous manner, all the while keeping this within the context of Islam, the sciences of the Shari'ah which relate to it, and the political strife in which political upheaval and proper re-structuring of society is done.

Have such individuals fulfilled their basic, bare-minimum obligations when it comes to learning about Salah? About wudu? It's pillars, conditions, wajibāt, and the sunan... which are supposed to be remembered off of memory?

Have you even started a proper study in any branch of Fiqh, let alone siyāsah, in any way shape and form?

Have you even studied the books of ādāb which come before you even start to seek knowledge in the first place?

Do you even know how to recite the Fatiha properly and not nullify your salah due to mispronounciations of the letters within it?

Or do you mindlessly stimulate yourself with people who don't know you exist, political sitauations which you can't change or control (LET ALONE confirm if they are even true to begin with), societal upheaval in which you have no effect over, chasing fake and temporary dopamine off of such news sources and social media channels... is this your reality?

This is a reminder to me first, and then to everyone else in-sha-Allah. Focus on what you can change, because the positive uprooting of the Ummah starts from the ground-up, with the correct Tawhid and 'Aqidah, the supplementarty Fiqh required to worship Allah correctly, learning our history, and progressing upward with the following sciences taht are above the foundations.... being disciplined upon this, calling to it, and being patient with those who seek to follow their temporary desires and not properly foundate themselves in any way, shape, and form.

May Allah guide us all. You have MUCH MORE obligatory matters to be taking care of, and had the Ummah took care of such obligatory matters in the first place... then such political trouble in the Ummah wouldn't have happened to begin with.

Fulfill what's neccesary upon you and don't delve into things which are NOWHERE NEAR your field, let alone your extreme lack of knowledge within it.
