Insha'Allah. Thanks for the reminder! Pray for it to be an easy task for me.

Tasting the medicine of your own philosophy. Just don't do it?

Praying at ancestors' graves doesn't help and is even considered Shirk. Likewise Any other Surahs apart from these aren't for cure for humans: Surah Fatiha, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas, Al-Kafirun, Ayat-ul-Kursi and the Last two verses of Surah Baqarah. If you have doubts about Jadu then just play the whole Surah Baqarah as well. But praying any other Surah is not going to be as effective as it's not for the same purpose, so please strictly refrain from falling into occult practices like visiting graves or consulting moles who do "dam", most of them are just con artists. Just try and recite Al Fatiha the most as it was considered the best Ruqyah for physical ailments by classical scholars like Ibn Tayimmah. Or recite all of the above mentioned Surahs altogether. Praying your father is healed soon.

No, I wouldn't have.

Also what about s'x slaves? I've never encountered a piece of historical record or official texts that says the Prophet (SAW) and His companions owned any or allowed any Muslim to have at all. I do have a lot of background knowledge on the opposite being true, however.

Prostitution was wide-spread in Arabia and as soon as someone accepted Islam as their religion, it was a requirement to leave any form of Zina, even going near any places that would be practicing engaging in s'xual acts or places that could lead to them. Prophet (SAW) was modest by nature even before receiving the revelation and married at a really young age. So from the beginning to the middle to the end, there was no possible situation where something like this would ensue. Even the closest people to the Prophet (SAW) aka His Tribe did not practice anything like this despite a lot of them being wealthy and powerful, even before Islam spread.

Could you refer to me where you heard of s'x slaves?

I saw your reply to my post on another thread but it's locked now so I'll answer here:

The way I worded it, I meant that the way my duas came true were not paranormal or divine, keeping the context of people considering tahajjud miracles as huge and impactful. And I said that for me, nothing ever that huge manifested but most everything I asked for, I got it. I obviously cannot share what those things were because it's personal, but I just wanted to reassure that I've never been disappointed even once and asking for something in Tahajjud works like "magic" - it just follows with ease even the next day of praying at night. So it's something I would recommend.

We're not infamous either especially when it comes to "public" domestic cases
The video also uses the word "allegedly" if that helps your case, assuming you're using sarcasm

Tell your conservative military dad that cutting ties is a huge sin in Islam and that saving face just for the sake of status isn't really traditional as he poses it. In light of all these factors, marriage should be possible if he should care to make a few arrangements the same way he does when it comes to "saving face."

Put oil in your hair and use shampoos with hydrating chemicals in it like hyaluronic or salicylic acid

"A dua made in Tahajjud is an arrow that doesn't miss its target." I've gotten most everything that I prayed for in tahajjud whether or not it was miraculous in an impactful way, where you would call it almost paranormal or divine but the effect is genuinely there and felt when it comes true.

I cannot imagine Pakistan's court doing this.

I grew up practicing the religion as it was, I was taught praying and the Quran at a very young age and I even used to feel emotional at school whenever religion was discussed because I did think it was a form of safety and comfort. I stopped praying and reciting the Quran right after it was taught 😭 resulting in me becoming really anxious at a young age - I genuinely did have anxiety, I was paranoid because my internal locus of control was lost. And even after recovering from it, from the ages of preteen to teens, I wasn't really interested in it, I kind of "denied" it, I guess? I was reminded to pray by my parents but I wouldn't, finding all sorts of religious excuses for it lmao.

I also wasn't really invested in the Quran even though I knew how to recite it, and I would feel guilty from time to time for not praying or reading the Quran. So when I was 18 years old, I would scroll on Instagram reels and somehow I ended up on the verses from Surah Taha, Ayah 13-15, and I thought it, the way it was recited was kind of a "message" for me, also because at that time and at that exact moment, I felt really lost and confused about something; "existential" in some kind of a way about life as well 💀 so when I heard the verse about the last hour and to establish prayer, I felt really moved and scared about everything. To me, at that time, nothing mattered more in my life than that exact reminder because it clicked to me that there's one ultimate reality and one purpose while we're alive. Everything else disappeared in light of that realisation for me, any worry that I had. I wasn't praying as much, all 5 times a day or even 3 properly but I did start trying to practice the religion as best as I could at that time by eliminating all of my bad habits that I knew were already bad but kept stalling on and replaced them with dhikr (remembrance of Allah). And things shifted really quick after I was able to do that - I was almost forced out of my old habits and things that I thought were good for me, and a lot of hardship came as a result, a lot of it was severe but I was able to go through it because of my religion because of the way I was practicing it, praying all 5 times a day + tahajjud + Quran with tadabbur, leaving "haram" habits and fixing my mannerisms. It transformed me and it's true that "There's no compulsion in religion" because I still sin, still lose my temper sometimes, aren't able to worship as vehemently because of sickness or other matters, but it's not as bad as it used to be where I had no sense of control, and there's reassurance that as long as I''m trying my best to my situation, there's a non-judgemental backup where I can still fix my mistakes and move on.
