Hello everyone!

A little bit of background first:

I'm a veterinary surgeon in the UK and work in an area where a high proportion of the community are Muslim. I was recently in a consultation with a client for a health check of a new kitten and brought up the topic of neutering. I always bring up this topic at kitten consults because neutering reduces the risk of roaming, fighting with other cats, spraying in the house and also for population control.

We had a very interesting an intellectual conversation as (completely unbeknown to me), there appears to be a divide over whether it's okay to do so.

I was hoping some people may be able to enlighten me on the various issues around this topic so I can further help my patients by really understanding the complexities around this topic. I do have a copy of the Quran however I can't read more than a few words of it, yet alone understand it in detail!

Salam alaikum guys. I am looking for guidance. What I want to know is is it haram to hug your aunts? Like most if the time just try to sidestep it but that usually doesn't work. Anywho, i'm 21 now and at this age I think it feels kinda inappropriate. Any tips on how I can just say I want to stop hugs or any specific ruling? Thanks ❤

*BTW I know this probably sounds like a troll post but it's really not lol

After I style my hair by using heatstyling tools, I notice that although my hair does appear well-behaved, they do appear dry and frizzy. To control that and to add shine to my hair, I bought the Redken Frizz Dismiss Anti Static Oil Mist. Read on for more details on this hairstyling product.

Credit cards and charge cards, can a Muslim make use of them if they pay them off in full therefore avoiding riba? For sake of argument, let’s assume that they will only be used when funds are already available to pay them off. They would exist for emergency purposes, when a card is declined, gain points, etc.

Sooo... throwaway account. This is going to sound weird but here goes...

I have a huge crush on this girl that I know from school, 5 years ago. She was only a mutual friend so we never really talked, but we do know each other. Anyway, I saw her around recently and developed a huge crush on her since then. Long story short - she's very pretty, very smart, and seems like a good woman all-around as she's very reserved. She's pretty much been on my mind 24/7 for about 3 months now.

Of course this leads me to haraam thoughts often, and I doubt my intentions are pure. I want to talk to her (she's on social media) but I worry that this would be haraam or lead to haraam.

Obviously I should pray to Allah about this, but I don't really know what to ask? Should I ask for things to work out between me and her? I know there's the halal way but I have absolutely no way of getting to contact her parents without contacting her first. But the issue is, wouldn't me be talking to her haraam in the first place? Like I can't just immediately tell her I'd like to talk to her parents like that - that would just make me seem like a proper weirdo and a creep. I need to get to know her first and develop some rapport between ourselves before we move to such stages.

So it's iffy. What exactly should I pray for? How can I resolve this situation?

I know this is a funny situation. I just really want closure on it.

Assalamualaikum, I have a question that I couldn’t find the answers on the internet or through anyone as there’s no local imam to ask.

In order to understand the question that I’m about to ask lets seperate non halal meat into two types.

First type is non halal meat that is outright haram such as pork, dog, cat, monkey, etc that is not permissible to eat no matter how you slaughter it and any halal meat that made contact with any of these meat will become haram.

Second type is non halal meat that is not permissible to eat only because it’s not slaughtered properly but it will be halal if slaughtered properly such as beef, chicken, lamb, camel, etc.

Now my question is regarding the second type of non halal meat. When a halal meat made contact with non halal meat, does it render the halal meat haram? What’s the state of the second type of non halal meat, is it simply haram? Or is there a neutral state?

JazakAllah khair.

Micellar water is something we all use on a daily basis. Whenever I visit the drugstore, I find a new brand of micellar water launched. Garnier has so many versions of micellar water including Garnier Oil-Infused Micellar Water and Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. This time, I have picked micellar water from a brand with which I had my experience with in England. This product looked quite pure and simple and I would be reviewing Simple Water Boost M

Hello everyone, I have created a discord for my friend a few months ago due to him wanting a place where trolls are not abundant. He wants a server where all Abrahamic religions can discuss in peace but the only problem is that we do not know where we can find people to join. I hope you guys take a chance on the server and try it out as it would make him happy to talk about any topic.

As salamu alaiykum, I'm studying Islam and considering converting. I have some questions if you don't mind.

Regarding the haram of interest. Is getting a loan from a bank, owning a credit card, etc all haram? If so, how do Muslims buy a house? Do they pay cash for everything? Or are there banks that will loan Muslims interest-free home loans?

Why is smoking a hookah not haram but cigarettes are? I've never smoked hookah tobacco, but by the looks of it, it seems far more intoxicating due to the sheer volume of tobacco smoke compared to a single filtered cigarette.

Is it considered haram to appreciate the beauty of a woman who is not my wife even if I don't have sexual desire for the other woman?

Thank you for any clarification you can give to any of these questions.

Asalamualaikum, Allah didn't grant my parents with sons but with many daughters. We don't have any close family or extended but rather toxic family members. My father is the only one that works but he's growing old in age and has to provide for us. My mother's finance has decreased significantly. She uses what she gets to pay all the bills for our big family. We have always been in poverty and still are.

Lately I've been hearing my parents talk about how they're worried about the future. About our marriages and costs and our house and bills etc. I feel so hurt. I need to help them. Sadly in the kind of racist place I live in I can't get a job as a hijabi. I've tried since 16. It's my time to help and provide. I need to.

Does any one know of any dua? I know that Surah waqia is recommended. Jazakallah Khair

This is the featured image for the best texting games and text-based games for android
Texting games (text-based games) are some of the oldest computer games. Many remember old text RPGs like Zork. Mobile gave the genre a chance at a rennaisance and there are actually a bunch of good ones. It comes naturally on a smartphone. You text your friends and family on your phone. Why not text a fictional stranger to help them live? In any case, these games are usually pretty simple. You get a bunch of choices, choose the one you want, and the game continues down that story branch. You keep going until you fail or beat the game. This genre also spawned a whole new sub-genre, the lost phone. Instead of answering text prompts, you root through a fictional phone to find out what happened to its owner. We have a little bit of everything on this list. Here are the best texting games for Android!


A Dark Room

Price: $1.99

A Dark Room is a fairly simple and straight forward texting game. You start in a cold, dark room. Players build a fire and then kind of go from there. It’s a bit slower than we would normally like and there aren’t a ton of options starting out. However, a little patience nets you a fairly entertaining game. You slowly build a shelter, traps, and other stuff to survive. It won’t win any awards for aesthetics, even for a text game. On the other hand, it only costs $1.99, has no in-app purchases or ads, and it plays perfectly fine offline. It’s a good place to start for texting games.

A Dark Room is one of the best texting games for android


Dear Villagers

Price: Free / $2.99-$3.49 each

Dear Villagers has some of the most unique texting games anywhere. Some of their titles include A Normal Lost Phone and Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story. Players find a lost phone and must figure out where its owner is. You then have Bury Me, My Love, a tragic romance about a refugee texting her husband as she tries to make it to Europe. Finally, you have Chroniric and Somewhere, two games formerly by this publisher that split off. They are somewhat standard adventure text games with engaging stories and some other fun game play elements. Literally nothing this studio does is bad and we recommend any of their games. They usually go for $1.99-$2.99 each with no additional in-app purchases or ads.


Facebook Messenger

Price: Free

Facebook Messenger is a weird entrant on this list, we know. However, it does let you play games over text with friends or by yourself. The games are rarely texting games. However, they are games you can play while texting and we’re fans of thinking outside the box on some stuff. Some of the options include Tetris, Galaga, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and some other arcade games. Facebook Messenger is free as are all of the games. It’s not a great platform, but tons of people use Facebook and it’s usable as an SMS app as well. Why not use it and play some games while you message people?

InstLife

Price: Free

InstLife is another unique texting game. You basically live a whole life from the very beginning. The game gives you a life that starts at birth. You grow up and decide what to do with it. That includes relationships, school, career, and other pursuits. It’s not too bad as far as life simulations go and the lack of graphics helps the developer add even more options than you would normally find. Plus, this one is entirely free with advertising and no in-app purchases. There are some translation errors and the UI is a bit clunky, but it’s otherwise a great free game.

InstLife is one of the best text based games for android


King of Dragon Pass

Price: $9.99

King of Dragon Pass is a texting strategy game with a fantasy theme and RPG elements. It uses more graphical elements than most texting games. However, it ends up being useful for keeping track of all the stuff you accrue over the course of your adventure. You gather goods, trade for stuff, go on adventures, and slay mighty beasts. It’s a lot deeper and longer than many text games we tried. All of that awesomeness does come at a price, though. The game costs $9.99 and honestly, that’s a hard pill to swallow even for a full graphical game. We’ll leave it up to you, but the game is really good.



Lifeline series

Price: $1.99-$2.99 each

The Lifeline series is an older series of text-based adventure games. There are about half a dozen games in the entire franchise and all of the stories are a little different. However, they all revolve around the same premise. You receive messages from people and decide what to do about it. Those decisions have impact in the story. You can lose the game if you make bad choices. The earlier games are a little bare in the features department but still tell great stories. The later games add more game play elements, fast forward modes, and the ability to backtrack. They are old, though, so test them inside of the refund period to be sure they work on your device.

lifeline whiteout is one of the best text games for android


Magium

Price: Free / $2.99

Magium is a simple choose-your-own-adventure game with some RPG elements. You play as Barry, a normal guy who wants to become a mage someday. Players enter a tournament, improve Barry’s stats, and try to make all of that happen. Your decisions have impact on the story and it can even cause you to die and lose. This game is in active development. There are two whole books to play through with a third in the works already. It’s a nice little pickup if you want something that’s going to take a while.

Magium is one of the best texting games for android


Reigns games

Price: $2.99-$3.99 each

Reigns is a series of text games with card game and strategy elements. There are three games in the series. The first has a king, the second a queen, and the third one lets you play as characters from Game of Thrones. It’s a simple series of games, really. You are presented with a scenario on a card and you choose yes or no by swiping the card left or right Tinder style. The game tells you the results of your decision and then you make another one. Players keep going until they lose. They are inexpensive games with no in-app purchases or ads. They aren’t the deepest texting games on mobile, but we they are still quite fun.


Simulacra and Simulacra: Pipe Dreams

Price: Free / $4.99

Simulacra and Simulacra: Pipe Dreams are two newer text games. The first is similar to A Normal Lost Phone. You find a lost phone and must find its owner. However, Simulacra adds some horror and thriller elements as well. It also has five endings, various puzzles, and even a voice-over cast. Simulacra: Pipe Dreams is a spin-off from the main game. You play as Teddy and you find messages you didn’t send. Cue the adventure from there. Both games are excellent. You don’t have to play the original to enjoy Pipe Dreams, but it does help add to the story a bit. Pipe Dream is free and the original game goes for $4.99.


Sorcery! games

Price: $4.99 each

Sorcery! is a series of text games. There are four games in the series at the time of this writing and they are all pretty decent. They have heavier graphical elements than most text games, but that’s perfectly okay. You basically move around the game world and engage with it with narrative text and decisions. The story forms around your decisions and there are just a ton of different things to do. This is closer to a narrative game than a pure text game, but it has elements of both. The Sorcery series is excellent. It’s also a little expensive at $4.99 per game for a total of $20 for the whole series to date.

Morning Star

Melt Cosmetics Morning Star Digital Dust Highlight ($39.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a bright, pale gold with warmer undertones and pink and gold micro-sparkle over a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was easily blended out for sheerer coverage or applied with a lighter hand (or more feathery brush) for more buildable coverage. It had a moderate glow in one layer, and it built up to more metallic, lit-from-space kind of glow with two layers of product.

The texture was smooth to the touch, firmer and denser without being heavy or thick, so it needed a more rounded, moderately dense brush to pick up product evenly (as it had more of a gel-powder formula). The powder applied evenly to my skin and blended out without difficulty. It didn’t emphasize my skin’s texture unless worn at high coverage and built up for a more intense glow, but one layer (and blended) of product was luminous without accentuating my skin’s texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours (though it was marketed as 12-hour wear) on my skin before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

$39.00/0.28 oz. - $139.29 Per Ounce

The brand doesn't have a great description of the highlighter formula generally, just descriptions of each shade. The lightest shade--Stargazer--is described as "buildable" but the other two are silent with respect to pigmentation, and the lightest shade was quite pigmented. Since there was no general description, I'm holding the formula to the average powder highlighter's claims--pigmented, long-wearing, and blendable, except Stargazer, which I would expect to have "buildable" pigmentation. The formula has a denser, firmer texture, but it never felt stiff nor was it difficult to blend out on the skin. The coverage was semi-opaque and buildable with a high-shine to metallic finish. All three lasted eight hours on me.
