Asalamalaykum lovely sisters, It’s been on my mind lately and has made me rethink my friendship with a girl I’ve known since college. Yesterday, we were catching up on FaceTime to brainstorm a personal project I’m working on. She mentioned that she hadn’t been honest with me when we met for lunch last weekend and wanted to share something. I told her to feel free to share—this isn’t a place of judgment. She then said she resents me because, in her view, she has to put in more effort to hang out with me since my sister and I share a car. Because of that, I don’t always have access to the car, so I usually get dropped off by my sister near a location convenient for both me and this friend. Unfortunately, that day my sister couldn’t pick me up from brunch because she was helping a friend move. So I asked my friend if she could drop me home—we live only about 10–15 minutes apart. I genuinely appreciate all the times she’s given me a ride when it wasn’t possible for me otherwise, and I make an effort to avoid planning anything too far away or inconvenient for either of us. I’ve also heard her mention that she holds some resentment toward another long-term friend of hers whose life has changed since getting married and having a child. Hearing that, and now this, makes me wonder if this person is truly a friend to me. It feels like a sign from Allah to reevaluate this relationship and see it for what it really is.

Sisters. In my Masjid this has become a large topic even on social media platforms. Alot of the brothers are coming out and stating that modern muslim women only think about our own rights and we tend to neglect the mens rights. I disagree with that statement, can this be a discussion or maybe a suggested podcast topic? In my experiences brothers have used rights to weaponize and completely ignore womans rights as both a women and a wife in islam. All comments, opinions, references, etc. are welcomed and helpful. Inshallah!

Not every “good on paper” proposal is right for you. One sister said, “I learned that feeling uneasy is also a sign.” The right man won’t rush you, overlook your concerns, or make you doubt your instincts. He’ll give you space, reassurance, and clarity. Marriage should feel like sakinah… not stress. What helps you feel at peace in the process? 🤍

Assalamu Alaikum sisters Where I live , we do something called a samosa run where the boys family together with the boy come to the girls family. The boy and the girl are allowed to have a conversation for around 30 minutes. Then the boy's mother would tell the girl's mother if he wants to marry her. Then the girl has to decide if she wants to marry him. So what I'm struggling with is how do I know whether this person is someone that I want to marry. How do I know someone's character from 1 conversation?
