Never Forget the Reign of Terror waged against Muslims (and by extension, Sikhs profiled as being Muslim) in the nearly two decades following 9/11.

[Al Quran: Ale-Imran, 61]

فَمَن حاجَّكَ فيهِ مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَكَ مِنَ العِلمِ فَقُل تَعالَوا نَدعُ أَبناءَنا وَأَبناءَكُم وَنِساءَنا وَنِساءَكُم وَأَنفُسَنا وَأَنفُسَكُم ثُمَّ نَبتَهِل فَنَجعَل لَعنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الكاذِبين

Then whoever disputes with you about it, after the knowledge which has come to you, so say : Come! We will call our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, then we will supplicate earnestly (together) and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars.

A delegation of Christians from Najran came to Rasool Allah (sawaw) whose chiefs were Aqib, Syed, and Ahtam.

They performed their worship in Masjid-e-Nabwi with the permission of Rasool Allah (sawaw). Then Rasool Allah (sawaw) invited them to accept Tauheed, his Risalat, and Esa (as) being the servant of Allah.

And told them the saying of Allah, “The example of Eesa is like Adam near Allah, created him with earth, then said “Be” and he was.” But they did not believe, so Rasool Allah (sawaw) invited for #Mubahila that if we are truthful then Allah(swt) will send Curse on you. They promised for the next day. Rasool Allah (sawaw) came out with such a splendor that Ali asws was in place of himself (Nafs), and Hassan (asws) & Hussain (asws) in place of sons, and Syyeda Fatima Zahra (saws) in place of ladies, only took Ahlul Bait (asws) in spite of presence of all the people, whose flesh, blood, and soul (Nafs) is same.

Rasool Allah (sawaw) took hands of Hassan (asws) & Hussain (asws), Syyeda Fatima Zahra (saws) behind him,

and Imam Ali(asws) was walking behind Syyeda(asws). Rasool Allah (sawaw) ordered to stretch (tie) his Qatwani Chadar between two trees, and Masumeen (asws) sat under it.

Rasool Allah (sawaw) said to Masumeen (asws): I will supplicate and you all will say “Ameen.” Rasool Allah (sawaw) was supporting on his bow, and raised his right hand for Dua, so the Christian chiefs became pale.

Their priest said: O Christians, I am seeing those faces that if they ask Allah, the mountain will move from its place, do not do Mubahila with them, you will perish, and no Christian will be left on the earth until Qiyamah. So they accepted to pay tax, and promised to give every year one thousand swords, one thousand armour, one thousand leather shields, and one thousand Dinars.

i have cancer, and i need help.

hi! my name is Kichona. i’m 25, and a mother to an adorable 2 year old. early february 2019, i was told the cancer i was born with (non hodgkin’s lymphoma) is spreading. not rapidly, but not at a snails pace, either. i have a tumor that tends to swell the most when i don’t need it to, it’s very painful and prevents me from working in the industry i work in (warehousing). my lymph nodes fill with fluid and it makes it hard to breath, eat and enjoy time with my son. i’ve been taking medication steadily that helps with the lymph pain & swelling, and the swelling of my arm. i have 2 to 3 chemotherapy treatments left and 2 radiation therapy treatments to go. getting childcare while i’m sick and bedridden hasn’t been easy (not easy as in i have none.) they’ve discovered 2 lumps in my breast that they’re hoping are just dense breast tissue, and i could possibly be facing ovarian cancer due to my family history (my mother had both breast and ovarian cancer)

in may of 2019 my physically & mentally abusive (soon to be ex) husband began an affair with a young lady that won’t quit harassing me. he has since moved in with her. that means i have no means of transportation anymore, being that my car was flooded during hurricane irma.

i was nearly to goal with my gofundme. i received an email from gofundme stating i could begin using a 0% platform fee. meaning they’d reduce the cost of my fundraiser being up. i then increased the fundraiser to try to gain back the donations i’ve recurved over the years that gofundme has taken.

the last post i made for this, is getting “stale” i guess, and i can’t seem to garner anymore attention for it so i’m making this one in hopes that it will. i need donations for my medication, 2 treatments of radiation, 2-3 treatments of chemotherapy, childcare, maybe a (used?) vehicle if possible, rent (we’ve been close to eviction since my stb ex husband moved out. he was the primary breadwinner.) food and many other things.

i am in the process of trying to get help with all of these things but in the meantime, please signal boost this. i’d really REALLY appreciate this.

(photo attached is my neck from my ex husband strangling me after i miscarried our child 6/7/19)

thank you. this means so much to me, to my son & i.

This Ramadhan we will not be able to hug and kiss each other, we will not enjoy tarawih nights altogether and we might not have and Eid celebration as well. But once all of this comes to an end, everything will be much better, in sha Allah.

In Sha Allah.

Why "doing something relaxing” does not help your anxiety

A lot of the time when people give advice intended to relieve anxiety, they suggest doing “relaxing” things like drawing, painting, knitting, taking a bubble bath, coloring in one of those zen coloring books, or watching glitter settle to the bottom of a jar.

This advice is always well-intentioned, and I’m not here to diss people who either give it or who benefit from it. But it has never, ever done shit for me, and this is because it goes about resolving anxiety in the completely wrong way.  

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO when suffering from anxiety is to do a “relaxing” thing that just enables your mind to dwell and obsess more on the thing that’s bothering you. You need to ESCAPE from the dwelling and the obsession in order to experience relief.

You can drive to a quiet farm, drive to the beach, drive to a park, or anywhere else, but as someone who has tried it all many, many times, trust me–it’s a waste of gas. You will just end up still sad and stressed, only with sand on your butt. You can’t physically escape your sadness. Your sadness is inside of you. To escape, you need to give your brain something to play with for a while until you can approach the issue with a healthier frame of mind. 

People who have anxiety do not need more time to contemplate, because we will use it to contemplate how much we suck.

In fact, you could say that’s what anxiety is–hyper-contemplating. When we let our minds run free, they run straight into the thorn bushes. Our minds are already running, and they need to be controlled. They need to be given something to do, or they’ll destroy everything, just like an overactive husky dog ripping up all the furniture. 

Therefore, I present to you: 

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN ANXIOUS

–Go on a walk

–Watch a sunset, watch fish in an aquarium, watch glitter, etc.

–Go anywhere where the main activity is sitting and watching

–Draw, color, do anything that occupies the hands and not the mind

–Do yoga, jog, go fishing, or anything that lets you mentally drift 

–Do literally ANYTHING that gives you great amounts of mental space to obsess and dwell on things.

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO WHEN ANXIOUS:

–Do a crossword puzzle, Sudoku, or any other mind teaser game. Crosswords are the best.

–Write something. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. Write the Top 10 Best Restaurants in My City. Rank celebrities according to Best Smile. Write some dumb Legolas fanfiction and rip it up when you’re done. It’s not for publication, it’s a relief exercise that only you will see. 

–Read something, watch TV, or watch a movie–as long as it’s engrossing. Don’t watch anything which you can run as background noise (like, off the top of my head, Say Yes to The Dress.) As weird as it seems, American Horror Story actually helps me a lot, because it sucks me in. 

–Masturbate. Yes, I’m serious. Your mind has to concentrate on the mini-movie it’s running. It can’t run Sexy Titillating Things and All The Things That are Bothering Me at the same time. (…I hope. If it can, then…ignore this one.) 

–Do math problems—literally, google “algebra problems worksheet” and solve them. If you haven’t done math since 7th grade this will really help you. I don’t mean with math, I mean with the anxiety. 

–Play a game or a sport with someone that requires great mental concentration. Working with 5 people to get a ball over a net is a challenge which will require your brain to turn off the Sadness Channel. 

–Play a video game, as long as it’s not something like candy crush or Tetris that’s mindless. 

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO DURING PANIC ATTACKS ESPECIALLY:

–List the capitals of all the U.S. states

–List the capitals of all the European countries

–List all the shapes you can see. Or all the colors. 

–List all the blonde celebrities you can think of.

–Pull up a random block of text and count all the As in it, or Es or whatever.  

Now obviously, I am not a doctor. I am just an anxious person who has tried almost everything to help myself.  I’ve finally realized that the stuff people recommend never works because this is a disorder that thrives on free time and free mental space. When I do the stuff I listed above, I can breathe again. And I hope it helps someone here too. 

(Now this shouldn’t have to be said but if the “do nots” work for you then by all means do them. They’ve just never worked for me.)

This is so helpful.

(Also, on a side note, that advice about masturbation is fucking, FUCKING, right. It’s my own personal coping mechanism, trust me.

Also! things that work for me:

-angrily headbang to a fast-paced song

-screeching out the lyrics to your favorite song

-just fuckin’ scream bro.

-punch something soft (like a pillow, or folded blanket)

Crying always helps. Whether I'm having a panic or anxiety attack, crying calms me down like you won't believe it. It's okay if it makes me look like a crybaby. My mental health matters much more.

Never come to me and say Natives aren’t discriminated.

My own family had been discriminated against in the Canadian healthcare system.

I’m so tired.

Another case of neglect and discrimination.

This status was from my mom. I live 6 hours away from her. Again, another case of neglect and bullshit towards First Nations.

So my mom just shared this!!!!!! This may save you or a family member or friend!! Pass it on!

And a special meegwetch (thank you) to #blackwomentwitter!! ❤️

My country’s literal revolution is happening right now but nobody cares bc it’s not impacting the US/Europe

Millions of people in the capital of Sudan (Khartoum) have gathered to protest the regime of the dictator President Omar Al Bashir who has been in power since 1993

People of all walks of life are protesting non violently and 60 have been killed since yesterday

Revolts have been going on for years and prior to this uprising children have been gunned down by the police for even being in the general vicinity of protesters. The state in my country is so bad that people in the army who have been told to stop the protests are joining in (including high ranking officers).

***quick fix: 60 people have been killed or seriously injured sorry for the misinformation y'all

PLEASE BOOST THIS

Please hear their cries.

Just like I said. Illegal adoption.

Here are the thieves btw:

im actually physically ill

Keep this post alive so that when CARLOS is old enough he’ll know these KIDNAPPERS stole him from his MOTHER!

Guatemalan mom: “Please help me my son was taken from me”

Those two assholes: “Lol finders keepers bitch lmao”

Carlos was taken from his mom, Encarnacion Bail Romero after she was arrested during a work raid. Her words, “Nobody could help me because I don’t speak English,” are still resonating deeply within me. This child was kidnapped from a loving mother, and she went to hell and backwards trying to get him back, and a judge literally told her she had no rights to her own child.

https://twitter.com/evanchill/status/1010399759088193536

Completely unfit parents can get their children back like it’s nothing and this poor woman who loves her child and just wants him with her again cannot? How is this not human trafficking/kidnapping? 

Also:

The judge said the biological mother had no rights to even see her child, according to the mother’s lawyer.

Asked if the Mosers would allow Bail Romero to see the child, the Mosers’ attorney, Joseph Hensley, said the couple was “not willing to comment on that at this time.” source

reminder that many children are funneled specifically to Christian families and communities for the same reasons they always have: destroy culture, stack votes, add bodies to communities that otherwise wouldn’t hold majorities. it is literal, actual trafficking.

This is a part of genocide.  Removing the children from their parents, who generally desperately love and want to raise them, and placing them with white American families is a way to erase their culture from existence without the ugliness of directly killing children.  But it’s still ugly, and it cares nothing for the actual welfare of the child.

I wish they'd pay attention to children who actually need saving instead of breaking families like these apart.

New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.

I’m not a Muslim but I just thought I would reblog this because I think it’s definitely worth listening to.

It’s totally okay for non muslims to reblog this, and i encourage it. Im just glad you’re listening.

Oh god, finally someone said it. Every time I see words like “jihadist” I want to scream, but I’m not Muslim, so I wasn’t sure I should say anything. 

Jihad means struggle. It doesn’t mean holy war or anything like it. In fact, there is no word in Islam for holy war, because the nature of Islam does not leave room for holy war. Islam has a juridical system, not a Pope who can just say “Go wage holy war.” Conflating the personal nature of jihad with violence is so very gross and it needs to stop. Period.

Actually, there’s another word non-muslims in the media shouldn’t use:

Allahu Akbar. It’s not a statement of terrorism. It means “god is great”. It’s something we say to praise our lord. It’s what we say when we pray. It’s not a statement of terrorism. Allahu Akbar doesn’t mean terrorism stop using it as one

I would really appreciate it if non Muslims understood this

We need to add Shari’a to this list as well.

It’s utterly baffling when non-Muslims conflate cultural behaviors with Shari’a or just instantly assume we all follow the same version of Shari’a. Or that the Wahhabi version of Shari’a is the actual default position of Islam and the rest of us are just well, not following “actual Islam”.

NARUTO LOVES HINATA

SASUKE LOVES SAKURA

SHIKAMARU LOVES TEMARI

SAI LOVES INO

KIBA LOVES TAMAKI

CHOJI LOVES KARUI

Still don't care. Sasuhina is my ship and I'll sail it to world's end.

calling ur dad “my father” is just the socially acceptable way of saying “my dads a bastard and i hate him”

Same goes for ‘My mother’

If you meet someone and they call their parents ‘father’ and ‘mother’ they either were raised in an Amish community or have absolute bastard parents

This or just call them by their first name

Calling parents by their first name either means you killed them and got away with it or are planning to

yes to all

Calling parents by their first name means that your folks were really terrible or that you're just an ungrateful brat.

Ship sakura with every uchiha and man in Naruto it’s okay but ship Sasuke with Hinata is like a sin, lol
