I’m a hijabi and I’m so tired of Molvis pretending that women’s clothing is the biggest plague faced by Muslim community, it’s made out to be this source of all evils. Not that corruption, poverty..

I wear my hijab for Allah, not for your approval or meet your “standards”. Guidance is one thing, but there really are bigger issues out there. This is really discouraging for people who want to be more involved in the Muslim community and Masjid.

Or climate change or genocide are the threats to the Muslim ummah, but rather how women dress. Time and time again, I get unsolicited advice on what hijab really is. For everyone who claims hijab empowers women, I am too often reduced to what their perception of a hijabi. There is no liberation in covering your body or uncovering it, it’s the choice of being able to do both by your will. For everyone who claims modesty brings you respect, why would I want someone’s respect who is so easily influenced by what my outfit of the day is.

Very interesting thought, thanks for sharing it! Male finish here: while I never had the perception you have just described I def saw it in a lot of people from the community. Absolutely agree that we have more pressing and significant issues to think about. As long as a person is modest in the clothes (for both m and f) I don’t see the issue at all - which might not be a popular opinion unfortunately.

It works for me mate. I agree with you.

As for OPs response, people will have there opinions and in this case they are clearly short sighted. I wish it could be easy as changing their misinterpreted mind set, but it just is not.

All we can do is act, deliver and guide our selves. Hopefully others will follow.

Any Tableau experts here, need help.

I have a user mapping file where a user is mapped to specific teams and territory and I have joined it with my reporting table.

Now in one chart, I want that when a user logs in, the data is shown at national level( so all territories value comes up) and in the other chart, I want that the same user is able to see the data as per the mapping of territory in the user mapping file.

Can this be done in tableau side?

I see so much room for growth in my firm, especially related to social media, updated technology, marketing strategies, etc. Except, every time I suggest them, I'm pegged as a greedy/pushy millennial.

I referenced other firms initiatives and was told it was clear I was not happy where I am, so I should go... Anyone else struggling with this?

Hi fellow neurodivergent consultants.

As someone who is on the Spectrum myself, struggling quite a bit in my adolescence years. Even though, that over the years, I got a lot better in masking socially acceptable behaviour. The fact that Musk himself has disclosed his diagnosis, has truly inspired me that no barriers should exist for us. The road might be tough sometimes, and working in a client-facing role requires quite a bit of our energy. Know, we are as capable as neurotypical people.

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?
