r/Hijabis

I was always the girl who stayed away from men, even during university. I tried to dress modestly, even though deep down, I wanted to dress up, feel feminine, and express that side of myself. It was something I struggled with for years.
Now, years later, I find myself on dating apps talking to men who don’t seem serious, and honestly, I’m tired. Sometimes I wonder, how can finding love be this difficult?
I’m not a model, but I know I’m a decent-looking woman with a good heart. I don’t understand why my love life has turned out this way, or why finding someone who genuinely wants a serious relationship feels so difficult.
For those who have been through something similar, what advice would you give me? How do I stop feeling discouraged and find a genuine, meaningful relationship without losing hope?

Salam sisters! I’m in my early 20s, wear hijab, and have recently developed a pretty big crush on a Christian guy I work with.

It’s funny because I barely noticed him at first, but over time I started finding him attractive and noticing little things about his personality that I really like.

We’ve had a few playful interactions and conversations, and I sometimes wonder if he’s picked up on the fact that I get a little nervous around him. But honestly, I have no idea whether he’s interested in me or just being friendly.

The problem is that he’s Christian and, from what I can tell, seems fairly serious about his faith. I’m Muslim, and I know the Islamic position on marriage, so realistically I don’t see how anything could come of this.

I know having a crush isn’t inherently wrong, but I’m noticing myself becoming increasingly invested in someone I don’t even know that well. And it makes me sad knowing that even if the feelings were mutual, there’s a pretty significant obstacle. I don’t want to compromise my faith, but I also can’t just switch off my feelings. It’s especially difficult because I see him regularly.

Has anyone else experienced this? How did you handle having feelings for someone you knew you couldn’t realistically pursue? Did you distance yourself emotionally, let the crush run its course, or eventually move on?

I’d really appreciate some advice from sisters who’ve been in a similar situation. ❤️

I am new Muslim and I cant reach my feet to wudu what can i do due to this i want to pray to Allah i don't want to stop doing salat due to my disability

Assalamu alakym ladies 🌸

I am 21 year old living in Australia and have recently reverted to Islam.
I am trying my best will learn all as best as I can inshallah.
However I just had a question!
I was raised in a white, religion hating household and have moved out for uni, but still rely on my parents for support. I fear they may cease helping me if I tell them of my newfound faith.

This unfortunately means I do not wear a hijab in public, with the exception of prayer, dua, Quran reading etc.
I would absolutely love to wear it however they would hate it

Is this a genuine enough reason for me to continue hiding my faith?

i can’t justify paying twenty quid for one scarf and waiting for over three months for it, what do you suggest that’s cheap and quick lol??

I know logically that nothing I ever do will be enough for my mom. Her son could burn her house down and she will still say nothing to him. But how can I stop getting angry at her behaviour? I know that this is something that will never change, because of the genitals I was born with I am basically worthless in her eyes. But how do I get over it and live my life without seeking her validation?

How have you moved on from the stark mistreatment and disrespect you experience in relation to the male members of your family?

Thanks

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask something. I’m currently on my period and there’s going to be a janazah at the mosque. I’d like to go and see the deceased before the janazah. Family member. Is this okay or should I avoid going because I’m on my period? JazakAllah khair 🤍
