I feel you. This is also an issue I am always concerned about. It's not called luck, but at least knowing bad friends has taught you how the environment really went bad. And Alhamdulillah, you managed to somehow escape from them. "Lijoch masadeg." Honestly, wellahi, I am always concerned. Let alone my future children, I am concerned about my siblings and cousins. I never had a social media account until 11th grade, but these days they already have one since elementary school, so you can imagine the damage. I don't know the solution either, but one thing I always do is get closer to them as a friend, not as their big brother. I intentionally raise topics that they may only talk about with their friends, so at least they are comfortable talking with me, which helps prevent them from damage. Get them closer to the masjid and ders; the environment will keep them away. And Inshallah, Allah will protect them and us.

This answer is for someone who wrote a long message about a question. So, if you are not that person, feel free to skip it.

Pray Salat al-Istikhara, a two-rak'ah prayer to be performed when people are in situations like this. Make dua from the bottom of your heart so Allah will help you resolve the situation.

Secondly, I feel like you are hurting yourself too much. You are a good girl, and that could be the reason you are taking care of someone else too much. But at the end of the day, it is you who you should prioritize. This is Dunya, and whether it turns out the way you want or not, Allah has already written the plans. Insha'Allah, the plans are written well. All parties will end up well. Don't forget in your prayers to ask Allah to give you and all of them the best of Sabr regarding the consequences.

What would I do if I were in your situation? I have never been there, so I am giving a hypothetical answer based on the experience I saw from friends. I go by "ewnetun tenagro yemeshebet mader." I will tell everyone the truth and see what happens. If they all leave me, Alhamdulillah. I will start anew. Since I am a good lover, starting a new one wouldn't be difficult. If they all stayed, I would leave them all by myself and start a new one.

Lastly, please, please don't stress too much. We are living 60 to 70 years in this world, of which 1/3rd has already passed. For sure, your issue will only be a concern for a maximum of another 10 years. Make dua, and Insha'Allah, Allah will resolve it.

To the rest of the people looking for a hint, please just scroll down to the next post :)

Advice on improving communication: I think the first step is to stop caring what people say back. Yes, you may have never been a good communicator, but you can start communicating today. People will be baffled as to when you randomly became a communicator, but why in the world would you care?

If you are afraid of talking in public, start talking in front of a mirror or record a video of yourself talking. Don't watch it back; just keep recording. Eventually, communication will be easier. Once you get comfortable, go to events and meet new people. Talking with new people will help you stop fearing judgment because you know you aren't going to meet that person the next day, so you will yapp as much as you can. Through time, you will even forget that communication was ever an issue for you.

Yes, don't get attached to anyone. Thank God I am low-key an avoidant attachment person, so I don't have to care when people leave me. :)

and this one about picking your friends.

I think this is all for today. I am sure you all have benefited from the messages. And inshallah, if you send serious messages that people will benefit from, like this one, I will do more of this in the future.

Good night. 🤍

And the Messenger will say, 'O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned.

👉 Surat Al-Furqan, Ayah 30

I begin my day with this alarming Ayah, and it reminded me of this poetic saying:

Imagine Allah s.w Saying this to you:

إن كنت تزعم حبي
فلم هجرت كتابي؟
أما تأملت ما فيه
من لذيذ خطابي؟

"If you claim to love Me,
Then why have you abandoned My Book?
Have you not pondered over what it contains
Of My delightful address?"😢

📌This is just to remind myself and you guys to always have daily 'Wird'(recite a consistent portion of Quran), so that we will not be amongst the once that this Ayah applies on them.

Yes, we walked. Fuad chose a good resemblance emoji to cover my face, except that I never hold roses before.

ahh, but I forgot to record it on strava. 😭

Oh, I am glad to meet you all at the event. To those of you who didn't meet me, all I can say is you missed out :)

I was going around promoting my "Tell Me Your ችግር" business, as well as "WalkWithAbdu."

Some people were pronouncing the channel name wrong. Considering that, the next giveaway will include spelling bee questions. 🙂

Seriously, though, I am really glad I connected with you all. You are all cool.

It's over. The final ሮያል ከረሜላዎች winners are known. Check here if you are one of them: https://amiloyaltoabduintheloops.online

I admit that I discriminated against most of my loyal subscribers. Honestly speaking, the implementation wasn't as I expected (vibe coding problem). The first five questions were the deciding ones; the bonus round was tricky.

Pray for me to be rich, and we will have another giveaway with a better prize. Till then, my loyal subscribers, please don't leave me. I promise to pay you back :).

Also, I started this channel as a joke and didn't think people would even read my posts. When I met you guys in person and you told me this post of yours, I really felt glad. But take my words with a grain of salt. I don't take responsibility :).

How am I going to distribute the candies? That's a question I will have to ponder on.

Good morning 🙂

Like honestly, I’m just asking as a student… how did something as simple as wearing hijab turn into all of this? Hijab is literally part of who we are, so why does it have to become such a big issue? I really don’t understand how it went from just asking a question to students being restricted from normal places like cafes and libraries, being stopped from getting their degrees, and even being imprisoned. Like how did it get this far 😭

We’ve been wearing masks for 2 years and more and that was never an issue, even though we were literally covering our faces. So why is hijab suddenly such a problem? Just let them study, finish their education and graduate in peace. They’re students, they just want to learn and do their normal university stuff. All this unnecessary stress and suffering over something that shouldn’t even be this complicated is honestly heartbreaking.
