Dua’a to recite when you are finding something difficult:
Allaahumma laa sahla ‘illaa maal ja’altahu sahlan wa ‘Anta taj’alul-hazna ‘ithaa shi’ta sahlan.
"O Allah, there is no ease other than what You make easy. If You please You ease sorrow."
[Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (no. 2427), and Ibn As- Sunni (no. 351)]
Assalamu Alaikum, a few years ago, I self-harmed (I have since stopped) but some fellow Muslims have found out and will not stop telling me that I will be severely punished and am destined for hell. I've stopped cutting, I've realized my mistakes, I've recited every dua for forgiveness, pray every prayer etc. etc. but they still pull out hadiths and such and tell me I won't be forgiven. Will I actually be forgiven or are those kids right?
Wa alykum as-salaam,
Alhamdulilah, I’m glad to hear that you have moved past that difficult period of your life.
Those fellow Muslims are exactly as you describe them: kids.
And kids are foolish, so don’t listen to them, they don’t know what they are talking about.
The next time they say something to you, remind them of this:
"God loves those who turn unto Him in repentance"
- The Holy Qur’an [2:222]
And this:
It was said to [The Prophet’s grandson] Al-Hassan: ”Is not the servant [of God] ashamed of sinning and then repenting, and then sinning again and then again repenting?”
He [Al-Hassan] said: “Satan wants exactly that. Never stop making repentance.”
- Ibn Rajab, Jami’ Al-Ulum
Don't you think Islam is too "extreme" that you can't even shake hands with the opposite gender?
No.
But if you really wanna know what’s “extreme” (you don’t), I’ll have you know that it is pretty “extreme” to take a religious tradition with over 14 centuries of legal, philosophical, jurisprudential, exegetical, political, and societal thought, that has spread to just about every continent, that has come in contact with probably the majority of the world’s contemporary cultures, that has over a billion adherents in the world, that has at least five major schools of law, and that has an extraordinary capacity to be adaptable to space and time, and to reduce that tradition in its vast richness to one monolithic understanding of one arbitrary, useless issue. And while you’re at it, you can take your eurocentric understanding of what is “normal” behavior and shove it because if your primary concern with Islam is supposedly not being able to shake someone’s hand, your concern isn’t at all with the faith but with Otherizing and vilifying its adherents as ignorant followers of a religion that you, in your ignorance, have labeled as too extreme because it seemingly doesn’t conform to what you deem acceptable.
British officials burned and dumped documents from colonies in the final years of the empire in a systematic effort to hide their “dirty” secrets, according to files declassified on Friday.
They want us to FORGET what they did to our peoples and lands, they want to keep us ignorant of what crimes they committed against our ancestors.
they did this shit to Kikuyu history in east Africa too.ughhh
just a reminder, for those people who demand papers and documents from non-white folks. Many of your ancestors RAZED our histories. Literally.

3 French Pastry Doughs - Tutorial
Pâte Sucree - Pâte sucree is simply defined as identical to pate brisee but with the addition of sugar. Obviously it is intended for dessert applications.
Pâte brisee - a flaky, buttery pastry crust great for pies, tarts, and quiches. a versatile unsweetened short crust ideal for savory dishes and according to Julia Child, often made tender by the addition of a bit of vegetable shortening.
Pâte sablee (Pictured above)- is the most delicate cookie-like crust, well suited for fragile fruit tarts. This dough has a higher ration of sugar than pâte sucree and according to Julia, often the introduction of eggs. The prevalence of sugar results in fragile dough that is difficult to roll, so it is not unusual for bakers to be instructed to push this dough into tart pans by hand.

Shutdown 101: What’s Going To Happen Tonight At Midnight?
So as this is likely the first government shutdown in the memory of most if not all of the people posting here on tumblr (I was 8 in 1995), it might be helpful to refresh our memories on what exactly is going to happen when the federal government doesn’t have a budget.
800,000 federal employees have to go home. There’s no money to pay them, and coming to work on a volunteer basis gets into some tricky legal areas. While in the past they have successfully lobbied for back pay, there’s no guarantee of it with a divided congress.
Air-traffic controllers will remain on duty. ATCs are government employees, but they are members of the 2-million odd employees that are marked as “essential”. They likely will not receive paychecks, however, until the shutdown ends.
Airport delays. While the FAA’s security screeners are essential employees, many of the people who work to support them logistically are not.
Visa applications and fees will continue to be processed, and foreign embassies and consulates remain open. So if you’re waiting on a visa application, don’t worry, it’s still in the works - though again, it’ll almost certainly be a slower process. Homeland Security and green card operations are included here, though DHS’ e-verify program - the thing that checks on the immigration status of job applicants - will no longer operate.
NASA will furlough most of its employees. Essential mission control operations and employees will continue, but the vast majority of NASA employees are going home - and I do mean home, because NASA’s on-site housing for employees is being shut down.
The military stops receiving paychecks. While the million and a half members of the US Armed Services stay on duty, they won’t get paid until after the shutdown.
The postal service continues as normal.
The federal court system stops. According to The Guardian, the federal courts would operate as normal for about 10 days before they have to start sending people home.
The NIH screeches to a halt. That includes accepting new patients for clinical research, as well as answering medical questions on their hotline.
The CDC will stop its seasonal flu program. According to the Washington Post, it will also have “a significantly reduced capacity to respond to outbreak investigations.”
HUD will no longer be able to provide local housing authorities with vouchers. So if you live in government-subsidized housing, your status is very much up in the air.
Parks and museums will close. Yosemite, Alcatraz, Yellowstone, the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, the Statue of Liberty, and about 400 other locations will close - though interestingly, the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon will remain open, because the state of Arizona is picking up the bill.
The EPA will shut down. The only thing that stays open at the EPA during a government shutdown is its operations around Superfund sites.
OSHA will shut down.
Social Security will be partially defunded. Social Security, as an entitlement, will remain open enough to keep the checks going out, but will lose enough staff that they won’t be able to schedule new hearings.
VA Benefits will be cut. VA hospitals remain open, but that’s about it - and if the shutdown lasts longer than a few weeks, the Department of Veterans Affairs has said that it might not have enough money to pay disability claims and pensions.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but hopefully it gives everyone a pretty good idea of what we’re going to be looking at over the next few days, weeks, or (god forbid) months.
Feel free to send me an ask with any questions you have, and I’ll answer them to the best of my ability.

I guess it’s a cultural thing..
the short list
not enough time ever to post all the things…..
damn. did that answer your question?
Right, because bad things only happen when white people are involved.
Mayans and Aztecs weren’t carving people’s hearts outs of their chests for the gods, they were doing it for white people.
The Mongols killing at least 30,000,000 people? Caused by white people.
Along with Mao and his death toll, also white.
Armenian genocide at the hands of the Turkish? Nope, at the hands of white people.
Japanese Empire raping, killing, and looting all over the Pacific? Caused by white people.
Native Americans being tribes of warrior societies who constantly fought each other? Not until white people came along
Iroquois tribes being imperialistic land grabbing machines of brutality? Nope, only white people can be imperialistic.
Yuan-Ming dynasty transition? White people.
Qing conquering of the Ming dynasty? White people.
Taiping Rebellion? White people.
An Lushan Rebellion? White people.
Congo wars? White people.
Somalian Civil War? White people.
Nigerian Civil War? White people
Rwanda? Caused by white people.
Nairobi Mall attack? White people.
Cambodian Genocide? White people
Benghali Genocide? White people.
Cops and soldiers abusing their power? All cops and soldiers are white people of course.
Hispanic man shooting a black man who was punching him in the face? White people.
The fucking ignorance and cognitive dissonance it must take to make this kind of post must cause some serious medical issues. Douche-baggary is not a trait solely found in white people, who historically, were actually pretty late to the game.
But it’s cool. You can all jerk each other off over how much you hate white people all you like, but you have to sit at the kiddie table with the Neo-Nazis, while the people who don’t see the world in shades of melanin ignore you and talk like adults.
^I ACTUALLY GOT TO MY FEET AND APPLAUDED THAT COMMENT.
smackdown
fuck you op
Um.
JFC what the fuck is wrong with you?
Did the OP ever actually say that white people cause all the problems in the world? NO. HOWEVER, the problems that white supremacy has caused are ENORMOUS, and just because other people of other races have done terrible things does not make the fact that white supremacy is a big fucking issue in the world and ruins people’s lives.
If we’re going to go by what white supremacy has caused over the last several hundred years versus what is essentially a backlash against white supremacy and imperialism, let’s talk about that.
So you mentioned George Zimmerman. You realize that he benefits from white privilege, not because he is all white, but because we live in a society that values light skin over dark skin. It’s called COLORISM. Look it up in a book.
He shot and killed a teenage boy who looked suspicious to Zimmerman because he was black. Zimmerman has the same damn white supremacist ideology that those Neo-Nazis you mentioned have.
And you know what? You probably do, too. If you are SO OFFENDED by the assertion that white supremacy has caused a shitton of problems for people of color that you need to point out all the shit people of color have done to each other, you’re definitely dealing with some racist demons.
Also, tag your racist bullshit.
To put it simply: Just because Us white folk didn’t cause ALL the problems, doesn’t mean the ones they did cause are any less terrible. <br/><br/>Seriously. We should be LEARNING FROM OUR HISTORY AND NOT REPEATING IT. Okay we’ve gotten a tiny bit better, but seriously white folk as a whole are jackasses.
Not to mention that basedheisenberg clearly hasn’t done their research/isn’t taking in the complete view. Couple of examples right off the bat:
The animosity between the Hutu and Tutsis in Rwanda that existed prior to Belgian colonialism was exacerbated by the Belgians, who relegated the Hutu to servant and labor positions, often placed the Tutsis in higher, more powerful positions, and issued ID cards that further seperated the groups
Native Americans being groups of warring peoples has nothing to do with the fact that it was white American imperialism and colonialism that decimated 1st Nations populations, stole their lands, lied on treaties, and forced them to speak English and act like white people in an effort to “civilize” them. Not to mention the thousands of children stolen from their parents and placed in “schools” during this “civilization” movement.
The Nigerian Civil War came largely as a result of infighting between the Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa groups that lived in Nigeria: three different ethnic groups suddenly lumped together when the country Nigeria was formed. Who carved out this country? Britain, in 1910. The British also divided Nigeria into three parts to exacerbate the ethnic and religious differences and keep Nigeria weak enough so as to keep making money off its natural resources. The civil war’s initial issue was of freedom from Britain, but these forced ethnic differences led to mass killings and pogroms throughout the civil war.
The Mayans and Aztecs did perform human sacrifice. That has nothing to do with the fact that the Spanish empire systematically destroyed these peoples’ language, food base, culture, and enslaved them to work on Spanish plantations in South and Central America.
A lot of the other events on that list are within a certain country, empire’s, or culture. They did not affect other countries/empires/cultures in the way that white colonialism/imperialism/racism did. The Cambodian Genocide involved Cambodians. Chinese dynasty dramas and ascension wars did not affect India and Russia the way new Europeans rulers affected their colonies. Anything the Mayan and Aztec empires did never affected the rest of the world until the Spanish hit the shores of the Americas.
On the other hand, the history of white people affects the entire world. When white people decide slavery is a good economic choice, one area isn’t just affected: you have have at least 3 continents affected by it (SA, Africa, and the Pacific Islands). When white people decide Christianity is the best religion for them, you have systematic destruction of other religions across the globe. Even the Mongols, who were imperialists that took over a massive amount of earth through bloody and cruel ways, largely let people live the way they wanted to, instead of enforcing laws and punishing those who continued to live according to their culture/religion/history. White people decide fair skin is beautiful and you have billions of people being colorist and bleaching their skin to fit that ideal.
That’s why so many don’t like white people. Because when white people decided to be jerks, everyone else suffered.
