I read a post somewhere on how we can read and learn the meaning of one of Allah's names per day.
So imma bless your timeline every day Insha Allah for 99 days.
Muslim men's obsession with virgin wives needs to be studied, because as far as I remember Islam and Sunnah encourages marrying widows and divorcees. But then again, you never really did care about Islam, did you?
ngl I miss him lol. man has the ability to calm my nerves, to soften the rough edges of my life, to remove every stone that hurt my step. I'm bruised, tired, overstimulated and homesick for him.
my favourite gender is a man that is absolutely obsessed with his wife like he's looking at her in all the pictures, slightly confused as to why he got so lucky
There's this aunt in my family, when she meets anyone she doesn't ask about their job, studies or marital status, she just asks "Bete khush ho?"
Such an important question.
Public service message for men who've never been up close with a woman so have no idea: we have discolouration, body hair, stretch marks, rough knees/elbows, strawberry legs and belly pouches. Oh and lots of hair on genital regions.
do Pakistani men ever think...damn my wife is an actual human and might need a break from the kids, lemme take care of them while she goes out with friends
just a week ago, ammi had a breakdown because she missed nana abu and said "ye duniya itni zaalim hai keh me apne baap ke marrne ka gham bhi nahi mana saki."
my phone's password is the distance from Lahore to this friend's city. I always think of only one person when I look at the moon. I crush garlic the way my best friend taught me 7 years ago. I wear jhumke because my school friend told me she loved them on me.

Do you ever look at your parents doing something innocent like watching a drama together or getting ready for a wedding or handing out each other's medication and ... you just forgive them? For all the fights, arguments, useless restrictions and confused parenting.
so much love for anyone who's celebrating eid having lost a family member. so much love for anyone celebrating eid with a dysfunctional family. may your heavy silences, grief and anger soon turn into warmth, laughter and joy.
wish I could tell my mother
"guzara hojata hai"
is not what I want in a marriage.
wish I could tell my mother
"aadat hojati hai"
isn't how I want to love.
wish I could tell my mother
I don't want to think about
a man when I dream
about my career.
no one talks how sibling relationships change after they get married. my sisters come back home a year later and we spend days and nights catching up on each others lives.
Everything changes, aur bohat duri ajati.

I just feel so bitter looking at men doing completely innocent things like eating out at low priced dhabbas. Or when they just hit each other up and go out. Or when they can walk outside at 10 pm becauae the weather is nice.
I just hate the mental anguish
outdoor nikkah in your own garden with only your immediate family and friends is actually the only kind of wedding aesthetic I like, it's so peaceful and affordable.
as a hijabi, I can sincerely tell you that you cannot impose it. It isn't hijab unless your heart accepts this act of modesty for the sake of Allah SWT.
we're so starved for love tbh. desi love is so conditional. we keep seeking validation from friends because we won't get it from our family. we keep loving the wrong people just to feel loved.
I hate the concept of lavish iftaar daawats. all the women and daughters get overworked, nobody is comfortable with the timings. And it's not the point of Ramadan.
dysfunctional family eids is cooking food that no one will eat, a kheer bowl that someone barely tasted, silence that hangs as heavy as the dust in my velvet curtains, silence as an absence of a memory of better times-
idk but I hate her so much. She is the face of elitism, privilege and dirty money. She has done nothing to gain this political leverage, she was just born into the right family. And her botox laden, microbladed face pisses me off so bad.
too much media. too much information. the earthquake. women getting raped in parks. our economy is crashing. the blast in peshawar. flood refugees are now dying of starvation. do I empathise or do I desensitise. is it callous to have the privilege of this choice
Dude the villagers in my dad's farm discovered a covid positive case and they turned him over to the police, have quarantined anyone he met (30 ppl) in a haveli that they're guarding with guns outside so no one escapes.
This is next level gangsta
was driving w baba and I suggested dinner because yk some father daughter time and I will never repeat that mistake. I can't believe someone I share 50% of my genes would be so disinterested in having dinner w me.
Aunt of the 19-year-old passenger on the Titan submersible says he was ‘terrified’ before the trip to the Titanic but went to please his dad because the trip fell over Father’s Day weekend.
I'm so glad Motaz is evacuating safely. He's done alone what the western media couldn't do: have a spine. May Allah keep him safe, may he live to come back to a free Palestine.
irony ye hai keh aap pyaare bhi tabhi hosakte if you're rich. Skincare, good hair care, waxing, exfoliation, manicures, pedicures are all the basics behind your well-maintained pretty girl, and it costs a shit ton of money lol.
if u guys wanna know how dumb I'm in love, I used to dress in this guy's fav colour, wear his fav pendant, let him talk for hours just to memorise his voice, wrote poetry on him for a YEAR and he still left.
aur me itni barri chutiya hun, abhi bhi uske khilaaf baat nhi sunti.
Ajeeb riyasat hai ye bhi, blasphemy ki allegation pe hi aag laga dete hain lekin kisi aurat ka sarr tann se judaa keroge tou insaaf meethi neend sojaye ga.
I can't believe I'm actually having to say this out loud. What the media feeds you is not what the average woman's body looks like.
Stop making women insecure about it just because you have never seen any feminine skin besides those on television.
my sister and I have an unspoken rule, whenever she has a tough day at the hospital, she asks me to pick her. I always bring a cake along and we finish it with tea while she tells me about everything that went wrong.
I hate the concept of physical beauty now. I hate everything associated with it. To boil down a person's entire existence, mind and life, to the shape of their nose and the arch of their brow, infuriates me.
why is vastness such a core part of childhood memories ? My garden seemed as huge as a park. The 8ft length pool used to be as long as a river. The days used to stretch, every sunset a week long. adults used to look so tall and powerful, trees used to touch the sky
Guis a baraat was passing in our street and we were watching from our balcony. My sister went "Sara wo dekho tumhari baraat agayi" BUT SHE SAID IT TOO LOUD AND THE BARAAT HEARD EVEN THE DULHA, HE LOOKED UP AND LAUGHED, EVERYONE HOOTED AND THIS IS WHY SIBS SHOULD JUST GO DIE
I had a rishta woman hug me and hold the hug to check out my waist because it isn't apparent under my abaya followed by "haan aap tou slim si ho apki behan tou kaafi healthy na"
South Asian girls really need to qt & explain how the rishta process has worked & is still working because the fact that this didn’t surprise me at all is a little bit concerning
she was also the school topper and the Head girl and honestly she's just fucking brilliant idk how she's even possible. Her name's Dr. Noor Us Sabah Ahmad.
idk who needs to hear this but please Allah ka shukr ada keren if your home is your safe place. Werna puri zindagi kabhi doston me tou kabhi muhabbat me wo ghar dhundte reh jaoge
My married sister just called my Ammi, saying "Mama aaj do glass tootay aur kisi ne daanta bhi nahi. I miss you so much."
And she was crying.
Bhai mere se ni honi ye shaadi waadi. Mujhe Amma ki daant sunni hai puri zindagi pls
there is no women's day without raising your voices and taking action for the women of Gaza. Your feminism is a parlour game if it doesn't accept that women in gaza menstruate without sanitary conditions, that women in gaza give birth without anesthesia, that women in gaza
jese jese qayammah ki nishaniyaan puri hoti jarahi hain, all I can keep hoping is keh mujhe aur mere jaane walay ko emaan ki maut aye. Aur ese emaan ki keh Allah ke samnay mu dikhane ke qaabil hon.
Bohat fasaad ka waqt araha hai.
Ye TLP walon ko bataye keh jis nabi ke naam pe mulk band kerdete hain, ussi nabi ki ummat inhe bula rahi hai. Ab achanak inka jazbaa e jihaad bara kamzor parr gya hai.
"she's a 10" well good for her because I'm not. I'm a 5, painfully average in all respects with no interests whatsoever. A wallflower. A potato. Just leave me alone
bro my dad is OBSESSED with falsay. I'm not even exaggerating, he brings faalse every day, eats them phir drinks them. False ka achaar bhi daala hai aur ab faalse ka jam bana rahe 😭😭
guys girls mere pyaare bachon, when you reject someone's proposal or advances, it is common courtesy to not hold it against them. their proposal shouldn't be an ego boost for you. please grow up, I'm begging you.
I asked Nana Abu if he's still in contact with his old friends. He replied, "Jisko bhi call kerta hun agay se unka bacha uthata hai aur kehta hai Abu ki tou death hogayi thi. Ab me dar ke maaray call hi nahi kerta."
Growing old is scary.
wese jitna mera experience raha hai w arranged marriages of my sisters, the primary qualities of a guy should be keh he's shareef and God fearing. Baaki sab, pesa, education, looks are wayyy secondary.
Is it pms? Is it IBS? Is it dehydration ? Is it fatigue ? Do I have uterine cancer? Being a woman is so much fun because lower abdominal pain can be so
✨adventurous✨
yaar seedhi si baat hai if you want someone to stay in your life tou efforts kero? Make them feel wanted, appreciated and desired. Obv if you won't, they'll leave. Isme itna heraan hone wali kya baat hai?
I have so many pastel coloured clothes because baba finds it elegant. I look at my smile in the mirror because someone told me they loved the slight dimple at the end of it.
It's beautiful and yet subtle, how I'm the amalgamation of every person I have loved.
I've to go through just to eat out with friends. Or when guys are like "we had time so we went on a road trip with the boys".
No wonder female friendships don't work out long term. They're so subjective to control by other people and relations.
