If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?
Go behind them, but not in front. 👍
Oh, signal boost! I didn’t know this.
Okay, but also: if you see a Muslim praying in public and they have something in front of them, like a purse or a bag or something like that, you can pass in front of them, but pass in front of that object.
it’s called a sutrah, and it’s meant to act as a physical barrier between the person praying and someone who might happen to pass in front.
Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.
Spread culture, respect customs, be good people. Simple as that.
Didn’t know this.
letters to the signs, written by a cancer
dear aries, forgive yourself, move on, and remember: your past is nothing but the ashes of something that once shook your world. it can no longer harm you. your future, however, is beautiful and unpredictable as if it were a wide, open sea. it’s time to set sail.
dear taurus, you are no less a part of the universe than the sun dancing on your shoulders and the wind kissing at your cheeks; you deserve to take up space unapologetically.
dear gemini, i know you’re afraid of change but i promise that life can be so beautiful once you accept that nothing stays the same. change is inevitable. you will be okay. everything is okay.
dear cancer, you are not as fragile as they say you are. your heart may be weathered but that only proves that you have and will brave the fiercest of storms.
dear leo, you are brave but that doesn’t mean you have to be fearless. there’s nothing wrong with admitting that you’re afraid. let someone else take the lead every once and awhile.
dear virgo, you have broken your back countless times but you are not a greek god & you are not built to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. learn to take care of yourself the way you have always taken care of others.
dear libra, i know how the loneliness eats away at you but there is no better company than your own. spend everyday rekindling the love that you lost for yourself all those years ago. i promise it’s worth your time.
dear scorpio, i know how sick you must be of shaking in bed alone but i promise that forever is not composed of sleepless nights and soon enough you will find safety in your own skin.
dear sagittarius, never paint yourself gray just because the world has taught you to be afraid of showing your true colors. embrace your beauty in all of it’s strange and wonderful glory. fall in love with the most important person in your life; you.
dear capricorn, you have not been treated the way you should be treated. you are so much more than you have been led to believe. find someone who will appreciate all that you are and all that you do. accept the love you deserve.
dear aquarius, never settle for anything less than what you have earned. your freedom is more important than their selfish desires. if someone asks you to sacrifice your happiness in place of their own, leave.
dear pisces, you have always been admired for wearing your heart on your sleeve but you must be careful when deciding where to place that kind of trust because not everyone can be as loving as you.
You’re safe.
There’s nothing chasing you. There won’t be a face in the window. Nothing is following you up the stairs. Nothing is under your bed. You can throw your legs over your bed, you can have your arm over the side of the bed, because nothing is out to get you. I promise. I’m here to protect you. I’ll kick its ass.
You’re safe.
bitch-jerk-assbutt-teamfreewill:
When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal
this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.
he gave me 100
This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.
Basically, if you’re feeling any sort of pain, even if it’s menstrual cramps, don’t hesitate to tell the school nurse or a parent, or if you’re out of school and home even make a doctor’s appointment. Chances are if your cramps are that bad there’s something they can do to improve that as well.
I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart
