The Charyapada

**The Charyapada,** a collection of mystical poems and songs rediscovered in royal library of Nepal in 1907, is commonly accepted to have been composed and compiled between 8th and 12th centuries CE by 23 Siddhacharyas (tantric masters) of Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism from the tantric traditions of Odisha, Assam, Bengal and Bihar.

This verse (from [Charyapada Verse 10](https://youtu.be/gTk86O3qiaw?si=ykbh7SaLRB6dXJ9D)), composed by Kānhapāda(Kānhuipā), is a cornerstone of Eastern Indo-Aryan languages. It serves as a "linguistic blueprint", demonstrating the common *Abahatta* (Apabhramsha) roots that evolved into modern Odia, Assamese, Bangla, Maithili, Magahi and other East Indo-Aryan languages.

Especially for Odia and Bangla speakers, the striking resemblance is unmistakable. The syntax and vocabulary have remained remarkably intact for over a thousand years.

I’m really confused about whether I should get married or not

​

I just graduated this year and recently started working. A few months ago, my sister told me that my mausi’s two daughters had completed their Alima studies and their family was looking for proposals. I went to meet them after many years, and i went specially for the younger one as my sister knows them in a better way

After almost a month of thinking, I said yes.

Now the plan is to get both sisters married around the same time after Ramadan.

But now I’m feeling like everything is happening too fast. I’ve just graduated and sometimes I genuinely feel I’m not ready for marriage.

Their family is also quite conservative, so we’re not really allowed to talk. The biggest thing bothering me is that I barely know her, yet I’m supposed to make a lifelong decision.

I do like her, but is meeting someone a few times really enough?

Should I just trust the process and go ahead, or should I ask for more time?

Would really appreciate honest opinions from people who have been through arranged marriage.

For Indian Muslims considering moving abroad for work — a job portal worth knowing about

If you're an Indian Muslim who's considering moving abroad for better career opportunities, I recently came across UmmahJobs.com, a job platform specifically focused on connecting job seekers with Muslim-friendly/halal employment opportunities.

They have listings across different fields — including IT, engineering, healthcare, finance, education, administration, marketing, etc. — and include opportunities in countries such as Saudi Arabia as well as remote/global positions.

👉 UmmahJobs.com: https://www.ummahjobs.com/

I’m sharing this mainly because many of us look for opportunities abroad through the usual platforms and may not know about more niche job boards like this one.

A few important points:

- Registration is free for job seekers.

- You can browse jobs by location and profession.

- Don't assume that every listing or employer is automatically legitimate — do your own verification before sharing documents, paying any fees, or accepting an offer.

- Never pay a recruiter simply for the promise of a job or visa without independently verifying everything.

If you're already working abroad or have experience finding jobs through platforms like this, feel free to share your experience in the comments. It could be useful for others planning their move.

How did Sana Khan perform Umrah?

Assalmwalekum ,

I have a genuine question :- Sana Khan has stated this many times that from 2013 to 2020 she had gone to umrah every year with her mother , but I always wondered is this allowed? Travelling without a non-mahram. Even if you go with any tour group it is important to travel with a mahram , that's what I have been told and I know so far. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Jazakallahu Khair

My mum forces me to wear a taawidh 🥀🙂

Soo 2 days ago, I was already in a very bad and tired and

My parents and phuppo forced me to go to a relative's house with them

They promised they'll only stay there for 2-3 mins but they stayed there for an hour

I was really angry and I misbehaved a little in front of them

My mum thinks it's because of sum jinn, now she forces me to wear a taawidh, thinking that the jinn will go away

And whenever I try to argue with her, she shuts me up, she thinks she's right just just because she's older

she says "Terko bohot gyaan ho gaya? " "Tujhe mujhse zyaada pata hai na" "Beta bado ki baat maana Karo muh band kar ke bina jawab diye"

How do you manage financial security without health and life insurance in India?

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

write I'm a young working professional in India, currently earning around ₹26,000 per month.

I've been thinking seriously about financial security, particularly health insurance and life insurance, but I'm also trying to understand the Islamic perspective on conventional insurance.

My situation:

* Monthly income: ₹26,000

* Early in my career, with limited savings.

* I don't have substantial financial backing to handle a major medical emergency independently.

* I'm trying to balance saving money, supporting family, and building financial stability.

I've been exploring health insurance policies, and some basic plans cost approximately ₹10,000 annually.

That's roughly ₹833 per month, which is manageable if planned properly, but it's still a significant expense at my current income.

**My concern is this:**

A single hospitalisation could potentially wipe out whatever savings I've accumulated over several months or even years.

At the same time, I want to avoid engaging in something that goes against my understanding of Islam.

I'd particularly like to understand:

  1. For Muslims who avoid conventional health and life insurance, how do you practically manage medical emergencies?

  2. Are there Shariah-compliant alternatives available in India?

  3. How do you evaluate conventional health insurance from an Islamic perspective, particularly when there are no easily accessible alternatives?

  4. Would spending ₹10,000 annually on health insurance be a reasonable financial decision for someone earning ₹26k/month?

  5. What about life insurance? Is it necessary when you're young and don't have financial dependents?

I'm not looking for a debate. I'd genuinely appreciate perspectives from people who have faced this situation, especially working professionals in India.

JazakAllah Khair.

25M confused about relationships/marriage

Assalamualaikum everyone.

I'm 25M and I've never had a girlfriend. Sometimes when I see couples or people having bf/gf, I feel bad and start thinking maybe I should also have someone. Like someone to talk to, share things with, understand each other etc.

But then after some time I think maybe Allah is actually saving me from haram by not giving me a relationship. And then I feel okay with being single.

Then another thought comes that maybe I should just get married, but for that I feel I need to be financially stable first. I'm not in a position where I feel fully ready for marriage yet.

And then again I think, if I had a girlfriend atleast we could talk and know each other before marriage. But I know dating/relationship can easily cross boundaries and I don't want to get into something haram just because I’m feeling lonely.

Basically I keep going in this same loop 😅

One day I feel "I need someone", next day I feel "maybe being single is better for me", then I think about marriage, then money, then relationships again.

For brothers who were in a similar situation, what did you do? How did you deal with the loneliness and these thoughts?

Should I just focus on myself and wait until I'm financially ready for marriage, or should I actively start looking for marriage even if I'm not completely settled yet?

Would appreciate some honest advice...
