self care isnt always lush bath bombs and $20 face masks. sometimes, it’s going to bed at 8pm or letting go of a bad friend. its forgiving yourself for not meeting your impossible standards and understanding you are worth it, nonetheless. self care isnt always luxury, but a mean for survival.

“أُمنيتي لكِ هي أن تستمري، أنْ تَستمري بكونكِ الشخص الذي أنتِ عليه، أنْ تُذهلي العالم القاسي بأفعالكِ الطيبة، وأنْ تَستمري بالسماح للفُكاهة بأنْ تُخفف الحِمل عن قلبكِ الرقيق. My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.”

Dar Al-Ifta Al-Missriyyah, the oldest Fatwa issuing organization in the world, writes on the problem with regard to double standards that deny Islamic teachings:

As for the claim of some men that they have to know if their future wife has fell into a sin or not is a corrupted opinion as it promotes declaring sins, revealing what God concealed, pursuing people’s pitfalls, and thinking ill of people which are all prohibited in Islamic law.

As a matter of fact… this relationship only existed due to some cultures which do not see any problem when the man commits adultery whereas when the woman commits the same crime she is stained with shame and disgrace.

There you go: traditional scholarship.
