Deen is not a separate thing from your dunya. All our livings, whether you are a sheikh or a professor, we worship Allah the same exact way. There is not even a flinch of difference. An ustaz could be contributing to the Ummah directly by lecturing, but that doesn't mean you are expected to be an ustaz to enjoin good and forbid evil (Amr bi al-Maruf wa’l-Nahy an al-Munkar); it's an obligation upon all of us.

On another note, in Islam, monasticism—leaving the worldly life entirely—is forbidden. Allah says in Surah Hadid:

"وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ٱبْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَـٰهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَاءَ رِضْوَانِ ٱللَّهِ"
"
As for monasticism, they made it up; We never ordained it for them."

Islam encourages spiritual devotion but without withdrawing from society. You can live an aesthetic life and still have a higher darajah around Allah.

So, learn Islam. Live it. And inshallah, you won't need to give up on your profession.

upwork has been bad this year, especially after the release of these powerful AIs. let alone for a person with no job, it's become hard even for people with good profile. with that said, I do have friends who managed to get a well paying job through upwork in this tough period. i.e there are still jobs but not as many as early days.

my suggestion, know what type of jobs you are applying to. don't apply to the high paying ones as they will usually choose people with good profile badges. apply to small gigs. ..

I better answer this question on separate post instead of an SMA answer.

Whether you believe it or not, you will be in your junior year, and I am telling you this is the time to try out multiple things. Life won't be the same after graduation. Don't stay at home; keep your phone away. Those are the two main things I believe will cause you to lose your motivation. Just go to a library near you early in the morning and stay there. Whether you do something or not, just go and stay there. Then the environment by itself will push you to be productive.

reduce your sleeping time. that's all I can say.

mech tefahu 😁.. thank you tho. I am glad to have you here too :)

Yes, I believe in early marriage, provided that you are mature and ready to marry. This applies to both boys and girls.

As specifically regarding girls, I cannot really answer with generalizations because I have seen people around me who fell into depression after getting married, while others are leading their lives even better. So, I think—and I emphasize "I think" as I haven't experienced it yet—marriage is just another phase in life, like joining a university or something. You need to plan ahead for what comes next and prepare yourself for it.

Yes, but you have to tell me what type of project it is. I can't do a 6 month long project for 50k. as long as 50k is worth it, I will collab.

okay asredugn sle life.. send it through the SMA what type of lifestyle you have and the money you spend. I will share it here and people will judge you.

wdym I am unemployed. I am solving your problems. isn't that a job 🤔

I think everyone has a business in mind. unless you bring it down to the ground, you are like the 97% of people on earth.

it could be because you aren't having exams and assignments yet. so let me know the subject and I will prepare you an exam. if you fail, you will be punished by a money.

now tell me if it's still your comfort zone.

If you can afford having a girlfriend, why don't you marry her and make it halal? I mean, she's your type. You are taking her on a date. What makes marriage different then? The thing is, Shaytan makes haram things always look lucrative.

kebelle 11, woreda 14. that's my location.

Books: How many of the books have you read? If it's more than 50% of the books you bought, you are good; the money was well spent. If it's less, just resell them and make some money. Eat food.

The internet is beyond my capability.

huh, so you are extrovert over introverts ? you aren't extrovert yet. work on yourself the same way you worked out to become where you are today.

can't say much as it was only 20 days. but I lost 2kg :) I'm serious, btw.

problems ?

we want the internet. send it back.

write down where you want to see yourself after summer. ask an AI to prepare a daily plan. do that every day.

in an era of AI, you can't be a single tech stack person. but yeahh I usually do Backend

first time hearing it. what's it ? I don't know anything about it.
