Selena gomez hair short

I have been growing out the sides and back of my hair for a while now, (7 months around). The hair on the sides and back are significantly shorter, the hair on top being 6-7 inches long and the sides around 2 or 3 inches. I don’t really like the look of having the sides and the rest of my hair uneven, but I am not sure if it is worth will to go through the the short hair phase again. Should I trim it when it reaches 6-7 inches or should I trim it earlier?

Okay so for almost my entire life i was fat. i was depressed i was bullied all of it. i finally decided to do something about it when i was 14. thats when i fell into bulimia for at least a year. i was doing those ab workouts and running on the treadmill for hours at a time without eating. i finally started looking into growing my glutes, and almost everyone said i had to bulk in order to gain the muscle i wanted in such a short time. i hated that, so i kept my bulimia and workout journey going. it was terrible. migranes every day, dissiness, hair falling out, just all of it. after school ended i finally felt safe to eat and start bulking. ive been eating crazy good, but as soon as i did, BOOM, ASS. why did this happen? like i know why, but i swear to god my booty just grew overnight or something as soon as i ate. wouldnt it still take a while?

He was not jumping for joy that day.
His name is JD Chance. He also said that he plays golf with Donald Trump.
We met at the bench in front of King Kullen. The sky was Genie from Aladdin Blue, and he was Genie from Aladdin (2019) Lookin'. King Neptune-type head, Eggman-type build, he had it all except hair. And a home. He was homeless.
8 PM. I just left work and sat on the bench. I was working on my first short story. I liked looking at my black coat and how it blended into my black work pants. Thirty minutes later, JD Chance showed up with his bike, foodstuff, and liberalism.
He stationed his bike beside the bench and offered me an ice cream sandwich. I politely declined. He (~60) asked me (just turned 16) how I was doing.
Blah blah blah, I oppose small talk. I ended up showing him my short story. He read two pages in 30 seconds, then told me I still have a long way to go. Okay, buddy. I explained the story to him, as one does, and I believe he liked it more afterward.
He started rambling about how he's a liberalist and how the word "liberalist" has changed, so he's now more of a centrist. Out of the blue, I know. But I was also all too eager to hear.
He ended up talking until 2:30 AM. He gave me his Facebook and told me to follow him. I said I would. Then he biked off to his next victim. I didn't bother making a Facebook account.

Hi all - I’m 29 nonbinary (he/they) pronouns. I’m pear shaped and have a pretty big ass and recently got top surgery. I’m very masculine, I have short hair, and I have hair on my legs and under my arms. I’m about 6 months on T.
I’m struggling because in public, I’ll get “ma’am’d” almost always, even after surgery. And most times even before they hear my speak (my voice isn’t high, but it’s definitely lower with being 6 months on T).
I have a hard time correcting people in the moment because I get embarrassed or I just don’t have a correction phrase already in my head. How do you all handle this?
I was thinking of memorizing the line “not a ma’am” to quickly pull out. But I’d love to hear how others quickly and gently correct folks so it’s not that big of a deal.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for seat covers that won’t break the bank for a ‘23 DCSB. The clazzios for 600+ just aren’t in the budget at the moment. Looking for recs preferably some kind of vinyl or fake leather type thing because I have two large short haired dogs that put a hurt on the place. Open to ideas!
Also not my taco- just one I saw out and about. Never seen a squatted taco on low profiles before, it’s first for me!

Warning: toxic mom, mention of scissors, misgendering
I need advice.
I hate my hair for several reasons, gender related and unrelated. Sometimes I really want to take scissors or a razor and shave it off. It would be so cathartic but it would look awful and I'd get in trouble.
I'm 20, a legal adult. I can technically cut it, no permission required, but my mom would have a fit because she likes my hair how it is. If I went through with it, she would absolutely have a fit and cause a big ugly scene.
What's she gonna do about it? Glue my hair back on my head? Buy a wig and force me to wear it?
I don't want to deal with her BS and drama, but I want to express myself, y'know, like an individual person. I'm sick and tired of being her 'pretty girl'. It's my hair, my life. I'm an adult and I can do what I want.
Plus the weather is getting warmer and washing short hair is so easy + my ends are badly damaged. My poor hair needs a refresh.
Next time I go to the salon I'll get a ref of a slightly femme or masc short hairstyle and if she doesn't like it she can shove it.
Edit: I'm closeted and I think as far as she knows, I'm straight as a board and cis.

I'm likely not the first to discover this, but thought it might be helpful.
I've been able to successfully achieve an all-day high ponytail by attaching a short claw clip directly underneath the ponytail.
After forming the high ponytail, attach a short (approx 3 cm) claw clip directly under and including the hair elastic/scrunchie from l underbeath the ponytail ... so the clip grabs both some hair and elastic/scrunchie.
An added bonus is the parts of the claw clip you push together to open the clip sit neatly underneath the ponytail and push-up the hair to provide a little additional height.

At Great-Aunt C's house.
I met cousin around my age.
J, one I allow to call me a specific nickname, because it makes you feel special. I havent seen you in over a decade, and I miss you terribly.
I hope you know it is not your fault we havent been able to see each other. It's not because of me not liking the presents you gave me for christmas, it's not because I felt awkward, it's not because you like trains and I don't. It''s not because of what the adults called "despite our differences", and it's not because of anything you did. It's not your fault.
Simply, Aunt C got divorced, which broke that connection of being "technically" cousins.
But I hope you know that, in my rationality, you are always my little cousin. I've kept the bop it smash and collapsable lightsaber you gave me as a long as I could. Even after I've begun to forget your name in the passing of time.
You're irreplaceable, J. I held onto all the memories. And in every memory I've recalled with a sigh, I speak of you with the utmost respect. Though, perhaps some things we both regret, I should keep secret. Hence I omit that in this letter.
I'll start chronologically. When I was about six or seven, I remember Great Papa had said something to, "You have a cousin about your age. You might think he's a little different, but please be respectful."
One time I asked someone about "my cousin J, I heard he's about my age and I'd like to meet him so we can play trains together." "Who?" said my Dad, "Ask suchandsuch, would know" So I asked suchandsuch, kindly, "What about my little cousin would be considered a little different? Such that I have to be respectful about it." And a man who knows you better than I do said, "Maybe it's because he really likes trains, and that's more of a boy's hobby." I added, a feminist since forever, "Well, did you know girls can like trains too? even if it's for boys."
Then I went to my Dad, "I think he's rather traditional, because he says only boys can like trains, can you please tell him that girls can like trains too? I want to play with him."
They had a conversation and agreed to let me play with J, so long as I'd be careful because I'm a bigger kid.
So I'd already learnt two rules by the time you could form memories when we met again a few years later.
One: Be careful not to hurt little kids because I'm bigger and stronger than them.
Two: Be respectful "because he's a little different". And I genuinely couldnt figure out that little different part either! I'm like, is it because he's younger than me? Is it because I'm a girl and he's a boy? Is it because I don't like trains as much?
And I was just like "cool, a little cousin I can play with!" Still am!
And sometimes adults were weird.
You might have heard from a friend of my Aunt's. (she is particularly loud and who I am not fond of but still invites herself to every family function Aunt is a part of), "Hey make sure he's included, because (my nickname) really likes him."
That "really likes him" part was a jump to conclusions. "She likes to play with her little cousin" Would be more accurate of my consideration.
I hope you got to hear, "Hey, he's a part of the family too."
Their deliberations didn't make sense to me.
You and me couldnt figure it out either. I thought maybe it was just because she'd recently gotten married and so family arrangements were difficult to figure out.
Later my Dad got married to his second wife. I'm not particularly fond of her for numerous things I don't care to list.
I was eating a slice of watermelon, the juice dripping down my elbows. I asked her "How do I eat this without making a mess?" She says "ask your cousin J, he's an expert at eating watermelon"
I replied suspiciously, "Wait really? I dont even know if he likes watermelon all that much."
She walked away without saying another peep on the matter. But because I trusted adults, I casually asked my little cousin, "hey could you teach me how to eat watermelon without making a big mess?"
and he said, a hint of betrayed feeling in his voice "Why would you ask me that? You know I don't like watermelon."
"I figured as much because I hadn't seen you enjoying them so much as I do. I only asked because (name of stepmom) said you were an expert and so I should ask you."
He left the room. I finished my slices and followed him outside to play.
"Hey don't you have a swimsuit?"
"Yeah these are swimtrunks your dad lent me. What about you?"
"I cant play in the water because I havent brought a swimsuit."
"Go ask your stepmom about it, because she's an expert."
"I don't know her that well, but so far I don't really like my dad's new girlfriend," I said, "I like you though."
"I like you too," he says.
I went inside. Expressed that I wanted to play but hadnt brought a swimsuit. The adults thought up a solution. It was suggested I could wear a big t-shirt over underwear because the jeans would get too soggy. I asked if I could get swimming shorts over those. They said if I could find a pair, yes. "A pair of shorts?" In a sarcastic tone, "Oh, yeah, shorts" (between the ladies was hushed and harsh jabber, "Don't be inappropriate!")
I was told to run upstairs ("no, walk!") and ask for a big t-shirt.
I was also told that I wasnt allowed to go out without putting on sunscreen first, and that I should reapply it every 45 minutes.
Annoyed, I halfway put on the sunscreen and impatiently sprinted out the door with the bottle in hand. I should note. On one side of my family is very pale and burns easily. The other side just gets darker in the sun and doesnt have to be as careful about sunburns. As you can guess, I was with the paler side at the time.
With the bottle in hand I parroted to my little cousin, "Hey, don't forget sunscreen!"
"I don't need sunscreen," he says.
"Wait really? But what about sunburns?"
"I'm black, I don't get sunburnt."
(I say with my best attempt at sarcasm), "What really? I had noo idea. I thought you were casper the ghost!"
"What? Oh. Was that your attempt at humor?" He said condescendingly.
"Ah, forget it."
"Cool. I'm gonna go slide now." He stands and says awkwardly, casually pointing to the slide with one thumb.
"Wait, what do you mean you don't need sunscreen? Everyone needs sunscreen It protects you from the sun."
"I told you, I don't need it. Why do you care?"
"Well, it's my responsiblity as your big cousin to keep you safe. Hence, you're not allowed to play on the slipnslide until you put on sunscreen."
"..."
"Don't worry, I'll wait with you too."
"You shouldn't have to wait for my dumbass to put on sunscreen."
"Okay, first off, it's not okay to call yourself a dumbass. And I was gonna wait anyway. Because if I hop in too early the water will get the sunscreen into my eyes and sting."
"Fine, I'll put on sunscreen if you'll stop telling me to do it. Can I have the bottle?"
"Yes, of course."
He holds the bottle, and thinks for a moment, "Wait, could you tell me how to put on sunscreen?"
"Oh, I don't know the words to tell how. But I can show you how I do it and you can copy me. That sound okay?"
"Sure."
"So first I pour this much onto my hand, then I rub it on my arms because I already did my legs. But you should also put it on the legs too. It's important to put sunscreen on both the arms and legs because the sun gets on them both."
"Wait, how much?"
"Just enough so that..." "Oh, I mentioned arms and legs. But it goes on the face too. Just use a little so it doesn't get in your eyes. Oh and, when my Dad does sunscreen he puts it over his ears and between the parts where the hair goes too (the proper word "scalp" was not added to my vocabulary yet), so it doesnt turn red either. He says not to forget little things like that when I am applying the sunscreen."
"Okay, ears and hair too?"
"Yes, you got it! Not too much up top though."
"Yeah I put on sunscreen now we can play!"
(chuckling), "Wait J we gotta wait for the sunscreen to soak in so it doesnt wash off in the water!--"
"Weee"
("Ope, there he goes.")
"It's your turn to ride the slipnslide."
"Thanks. I'm a little scared though."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"I don't know how to ride the slipnslide. I guess that it's your turn to teach me something."
"Sure, I can teach you, just run but not too fast or you'll trip over, then do a belly flop and say 'weee'."
"Oh, so like a penguin!"
"Yeah, like a penguin."
"Ok I'll try it. Weee," then, "Aaa, I did it! I really did it. Yay!"
He says in a cartoonish voice, "Cowabunga. Look out beloooow!"
(copying how he said that in jest) "Oh no! Don't crash into meee." (thunk)
We stare at each other, and just start laughing.
"You okay?" I hurredly ask him.
"Yeah, are you? Sorry I cowabunga'd on you."
"My dad says 'it's all fun and games til someone gets hurt.' So I'm just happy that neither of us got hurt."
We walked back up the hill.
He says, "Wait, do you pronounce it like knee-ther or nye-ther? I've heard it said like both."
I say, "Aw man, I have no idea. I think I say knee-ther, but nye-ther works too! I mean it doesnt work like a job, it just does in a sentence."
"Yeah I understand what you mean," he says, and spits onto the slipnslide.
"Okay good. Happy to hear we're on the same page, wait did you just spit onto the slipnslide?"
"Uh, I might've. What about it?"
"Why?"
"It's just something my _ does. He says something serious then spits down and when I asked why he said its for 'emphasis.' I don't know what emphasis means, though.
mw "I don't know what emphasis means either."
him "You wanna go first this time?"
me "First at what?"
him "The slipnslide. You're kinda thick, y'know."
me: "Thick? I think I'm thin."
him: "Exactly."
me: "I don't want to go."
him: "why?"
"well, because you spit on it. that's kinda gross y'know."
"You think I'm gross?"
"What? No. You're not gross. I think you're rather nice. I just think it's just kinda gross to spit on things. And I dont want you to get in trouble because there's spit on the slidnslide because I'm supposed to be setting a good example for a little kid, so they'll say you did it because I did."
"I didn't mean to spit on it." (he gets sad).
"Here, I'll spit on it too, now we're even. And you're just a little kid who doesn't know any better. I'm bigger than you, in years I mean, I am aware that we're about the same in height. The point being I should know better. So if anyone asks why there's spit on the slidnslide, I'll say it was my idea."
"You'd do that for me?"
"Why wouldn't I? (You said we should protect eachother.) You protect me, and I protect you. We're even."

Fallout Themed RP: Play as either side, don’t be a dick.
Context: After capturing a BoS Knight, Aux and his crew prepare to return their high-value individual at the request of a furious local chapter of Brotherhood of Steel. After sending the retrieval location, Aux surprisingly agreed to their demands, but the BoS may find that simply rolling in and taking their missing member back would be no simple task.
RP: Acoustics bounced and echoed around Main Street; Aux drummed his fingers to the beat as he waited patiently, his eyes watching over the forest overgrowth as it slowly but surely reclaimed the territory nature lost when humanity had developed the land into a sprawling and bustling city. His eyes drifted over lush mutated greens of trees loaded with red, orange, and yellow leaves fluttering in the wind.
The town smelled of dry rot, exposed foundations crumbled under their exposure to the weather, and neglected over the years after the bombs fell. “Least it didn’t smell like rotting meat.” He thought to himself while his eyes drifted towards a t-shaped intersection where a singular figure sat in a folding chair out in the open beside a table underneath a worn umbrella. With a nuka cola, yum yum deviled eggs sat beside them, sometimes tiny pinpricks of light from the breeze glanced over the items. Beside him, glistening in the sunlight, was a complete suit of power armor, standing idly by as if it waited for a pilot to commandeer it again.
“Tabbi? How’s our boy doing?” Aux grumbled, and a figure sat up from an upper floor. Old papers shifted as a head draped in a light blanket reared its head up. A short-haired blonde woman peeked up, bringing a pair of binoculars to her head, and peered through it.
“He looks unbothered, in the shade, has his snacks, relaxed, listening to some music, minding his business, in his element; we even gave him his power armor back.” A woman said hoarsely before reaching for a can of purified water. “Aside from looking like he’s beaten to shit, he’s doing better than us.” She reported, and she took a sip from the can.
“That’s all superficial; I sure hope that dumb asshole knows what he’s doing,” Aux added with a chuckle. He adjusted his spot in the second-story corner of a dilapidated building, long since having fallen into disrepair. “Look at him; we gave him food, water, shade, music, beautiful outside, the weather isn’t bad. Hell, we’re the best damn babysitters the brotherhood could ask for.” He craned to peer around the various buildings dotting the city street.
“Damn straight,” Tabbi said flatly before the sound of verified engines slowly drifted into earshot. “I’ll admit, I expected Donavan to tap out well before they showed up. He’s a trooper, alright.” She sighed. “Ah, it’s about time.” She mumbled and pointed behind Aux. “Three…scratch that, four…challengers approach on winged steel beasts.” She added as Aux sniffed and fiddled with his pockets. He clutched a remote control, rotating the dial counterclockwise. The volume of the stereos died down, filling the town with an eerie silence.
“Sound the alarm,” Aux ordered flatly as he peeked over at the equipment beside him. Tabbi nodded and brought up her arm to reveal a weathered pip-boy attached to her arm.
“Coming right up, boss,” Tabbi answered quickly as she twisted the dual and pressed a button. “Sticks all yours, boss.” She said as he dialed up the volume. The intro verse to “Atom Bomb Baby” echoed throughout the streets, signaling to the others that the time to steel their nerves and get into position was now. “You know, I like this song. It's charming.” Tabbi added as the vertibirds approached. She risked looking up at them, a piece of black plastic tubing over the barrels of the binoculars, small slits cut into the center of the improvised lens caps to mitigate light reflecting and giving her position away.
“Looks like a gunship; that’s going to be a problem. It's splitting off with one other bird.” Tabbi muttered. Aux only shrugged, not sweating the extra detail.
“It is just an easy detail.” He commented as the engines grew louder. “Come and get him, you bastards,” Aux growled to himself as the remaining two vertibirds lowered their altitude to only twenty meters off the ground. The nearby trees shook and rippled as the rotor wash dusted off the uneven pavement. “That’s not a bad choice, and I like Dion, though “The Wanderer” has this appeal to me I can’t quite pinpoint, but…whatever,” Aux added as Tabbi raised an eyebrow.
Several hulking figures descended from each troop bay, the birds shaking and rising quickly as their weight and balance shifted and changed. Power armor suits landed with a thunderous sound as ropes descended from the edge of the vertibirds. Scribes and initiates fast roped down as the paladins secured the landing zone, waiting for the rest of their team to put their boots on the ground, bringing their laser and assault rifles up as they fanned out to take cover.
“Oh, very professional.” Aux thought to himself as they slowly made their way towards the lone figure in the intersection, now struggling in their seat, gagged, bound, helpless to warn their allies. “We have two squads approaching from one direction and one other converging down the other avenue…eh, shouldn’t be an issue.” He thought to himself as the heavy footsteps and hissing hydraulics lumbered into earshot. The gunship circled overhead, its deadly shadow casting an ominous dark spotlight on the land.
“Oh, man…” He groaned as he dared not move from His vantage point. The towering armored behemoths crept into view; uncertain and skeptical initiates stayed close to the only source of mobile cover. Once he was sure the gunship no longer had a direct line of sight to him, Aux slowly reached for a detonator set off to the side. He delicately motioned for Tabbi to hold briefly as the group inched closer to exactly where he needed them to be. He signaled to her with a short, subdued hand wave, and the music suddenly cut out. One of the Knights stopped, holding their hand as the entire element halted immediately.
Aux lowered the volume to not blow out the speakers as Tabbi selected a second song. The world was suddenly filled with the opening to “Runaround Sue” by Dion, kicked off to welcome the Brotherhood of Steel foot soldiers to the worst mistakes of their lives. He cranked the volume to the maximum, blasting a deafening tune across the local area as the music picked up.
Aux clicks the clacker several times, ducking down as he grits his teeth. A car lining the side of the street, closest to three Paladins, and a cluster of lightly armored scribes and imitates erupted into a miniature nuclear fireball. The force of the blast lifted Paladin off their feet and tossed them through the air as the forward-most member in power armor staggered to the side. The unarmored troops were enveloped in nuclear fire, some disintegrating into wet red pieces, others vaporized where they stood.
A secondary explosion detonated quickly, knocking the paladin off balance and propelling them into a nearby department building with a raucous clatter. Tabbi stood upright, a launcher firmly planted on her shoulders as she fired two rockets into the collapsing building. Aux poked his head out of cover, wielding a light machine gun, centering the buckhorn sight on a beleaguered group of unarmored initiates and scribes.
He let loose a devastating burst of eight-millimeter mauser, cutting down several initiates as the music picked up. The engines of the Vertibird zipped overhead as the gunship navigated into a firing position overhead. “Oh shit.” Aux thought to himself as Tabbi let loose another short salvo. The ship turned its broadside to face them; he saw the Knight operating the heavy door gun and angling its rotating barrels toward the two Raider's firing position. “Oh, Shit!” He cursed again before a rocket arced from the broken church steeple.

hey, how are you doing? hope y’all are safe and warm during these rainy days ✌️me? I’m back here again, still trying to look for someone genuine. I have met a few interesting people but none stayed true with their words.

Stay safe, good morning ✨

I intend to post this in debatereligion, but I wanted to put this here and get the insight of you guys. Fair warning, this is a huge post!
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave various prophecies leading up to the dajjal (the antichrist), the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ (AS), and other signs of the the Last Hour.
(Note: I'm gonna label some of these like "Narration 1" so they can be referenced later)
Narration 1 The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ). Sahih Muslim 2897 https://sunnah.com/muslim:2897
Narration 2 (Note: it's not definitively Constantinople being referred to here, but it's unlikely that it's referring to somewhere else) Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: You have heard about a city, one side of which is on land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Allah's Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come unless seventy thousand persons from Bani lshaq would attack it. When they would land there, they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows but would only say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and one side of it would fall. Thaur (one of the narrators) said: I think that he said: The part by the side of the ocean. Then they would say for the second time: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest" and the second side would also fall, and they would say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and the gates would be opened for them and they would enter therein and, they would be collecting spoils of war and distributing them amongst themselves when a noise would be heard saying: Verily, Dajjal has come. And thus they would leave everything there and go back. Sahih Muslim 2920a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2920a
Narration 3 Once there blew a red storm in Kufah that there came a person who had nothing to say but (these words): Abdullah b. Masud, the Last Hour has come. He (Abdullah b. Masud) was sitting reclining against something, and he said: The Last Hour would not come until shares of inheritance are not distributed and there is no rejoicing over spoils of war. Then he said pointing towards Syria, with the gesture of his hand like this: The enemy shall muster strength against Muslims and the Muslims will muster strength against them (Syrians). I said: You mean Rome? And he said: Yes, and there would be a terrible fight and the Muslims would prepare a detachment (for fighting unto death) which would not return but victorious. They will fight until night will intervene them; both the sides will return without being victorious and both will be wiped out. The Muslims will again prepare a detachment for fighting unto death so that they may not return but victorious. When it would be the fourth day, a new detachment out of the remnant of the Muslims would be prepared and Allah will decree that the enemy should be routed. And they would fight such a fight the like of which would not be seen, so much so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks, it would fall down dead before reaching the end of them. (There would be such a large scale massacre) that when counting would be done, (only) one out of a hundred men related to one another would be found alive. So what can be the joy at the spoils of such war and what inheritance would be divided! They would be in this very state that they would hear of a calamity more horrible than this. And a cry would reach them: The Dajjal has taken your place among your offspring. They will, therefore, throw away what would be in their hands and go forward sending ten horsemen, as a scouting party. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I know their names and the names of their forefathers and the color of their horses. They will be the best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day or amongst the best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day. Sahih Muslim 2899a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2899a
The events throughout the conquest of Constantinople are roughly described like so...
Narration 1: 1. Romans (Byzantines) arrive to al-A'maq 2. Muslim soldiers from Medina meet them, and they have a great battle 3. 1/3 of the Muslims run away, 1/3 are martyred, and 1/3 continue to live on 4. Constantinople is conquered by the 1/3 Muslim victors 5. They distribute spoils among themselves 6. Satan let's out a scream, saying the dajjal is now a threat, but there's no sight of the dajjal 7. Those Muslims leave and go to Syria, and prepare for battle 8. Dajjal shows himself 9. Jesus (AS) descends for the prayer 10. Dajjal is killed by Jesus (AS)
Narration 2: 1. 70,000 from children of Isaac conquer Constantinople without weapons 2. Distribute spoils among themselves 3. Cry of dajjal, they leave everything and go back 4. (One should note, that the land with "one side of which is on land and the other is in the sea" is not definitively Constantinople, but it's quite unlikely it's referring to something else)
Narration 3: 1. Roman (Byzantine) Syrians muster strength against Muslims, and Muslims muster strength against them 2. Great battle, described as a calamity 3. Cry of dajjal, they throw what's in their hands 4. Ten scouts sent out
In 1453, the Muslims conquered Constantinople, but as we know, the dajjal did not emerge, nor did Jesus (AS). They also did not conquer it without weapons. Therefore, this prophecy has failed.
Many recognize this, and create an interpretation that the first conquest wasn't the prophesied one, and there are going to be two conquests of Constantinople, (the second one being without weapons).
That is like I said: an interpretation. No Hadith makes clear, two separate conquests of Constantinople.
And though these 3 narrations have varying levels of details, they do not contradict each other, (which could reflect that they're two seperate conquests).
One might note that narration 1 SEEMS like it says they use weapons to conquer Constantinople, and narration 2 SEEMS to say that they'll only use words (la ilaha illallah Allahu akbar) to conquer Constantinople, but there's actually nothing in narration 1 that explicitly says they'll use weapons to take over Constantinople. They do indeed hang up their swords, but just because they set their gear down, doesn't mean they used it to take the city. Bear in mind, that they had just gotten done with the infamous Great Battle, gone to Constantinople, and probably expected to be met with force, so one would expect they'd take their sheaths and swords off and set them down after all of that.
Also, the cry of the dajjal is a common factor between all of these narrations, forcing them to be one instance. Unless you want to say that there are going to be multiple cries of the dajjal, and some- be false I guess? Like satan cries it out but it's just a trick?
If you're going to lead with the idea that narration 1 refers to a different conquest than narration 2 (1 using weapons, 2 using words), then you're leading with the idea that: 1. There was the conquest of 1453, with no cry of the dajjal 2. There is going to be another conquest with weapons and with a false/deceiving cry of the dajjal 3. Then there's going to be ANOTHER conquest with only words, and that will have the real cry of the dajjal
That seems to me to be a pretty obviously false idea. So yes, these 3 narrations refer to the same instance. There's nowhere in Hadiths that creates a distinction between two different conquests of Constantinople.
And even the Muslims of the time believed that the dajjal was to emerge after Rome's territory was conquered...
(Note: there's more to this narration before this, but it's irrelevant and takes up space) (Allah's Messenger) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered. Sahih Muslim 2900 https://sunnah.com/muslim:2900
No one had an idea that there were two seperate conquests.
Not only that, but these narrations are also limited to their times, and I'll explain why, but also note the following Hadiths:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The flourishing state of Jerusalem will be when Yathrib is in ruins, the ruined state of Yathrib will be when the great war comes, the outbreak of the great war will be at the conquest of Constantinople and the conquest of Constantinople when the Dajjal (Antichrist) comes forth. He (the Prophet) struck his thigh or his shoulder with his hand and said: This is as true as you are here or as you are sitting (meaning Mu'adh ibn Jabal). (Yathrib is Medina) Sunan Abu Dawud 4294, CLASSED HASAN https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4294
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The Last Hour would come (when) the Romans would form a majority amongst people. 'Amr said to him (Mustaurid Qurashi): See what you are saying? He said: I say what I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Thereupon he said: If you say that, it is a fact for they have four qualities. They have the patience to undergo a trial and immediately restore themselves to sanity after trouble and attack again after flight. They (have the quality) of being good to the destitute and the orphans, to the weak and, fifthly, the good quality in them is that they put resistance against the oppression of kings. Sahih Muslim 2898a (and Sahih Muslim 2898b says the exact same thing as the bolded text) https://sunnah.com/muslim:2898a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2898b
"I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah when a man said: 'O Messenger of Allah! The people have lost interest in horses and put down their weapons, and they say there is no Jihad, and that war has ended.' The Messenger of Allah turned to face him and said: 'They are lying, now the fighting is to come. There will always be a group among my Ummah who will fight for the truth, for whom Allah will cause some people to deviate, and grant them provision from them, until the Hour begins and until the promise of Allah comes. Goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. It has been revealed to me that I am going to die and will not stay long, and you will follow me group after group, striking one another's necks. And the place of safety for the believers is Ash-Sham.'" Sunan an-Nasa'i 3561 https://sunnah.com/nasai:3561
These are the reasons why the prophecies are limited to their time:
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says the dajjal emerges after the conquering of Constantinople, and that the Romans would be a majority when the last hour would come.
When was a time when Constantinople was yet to be conquered, and the Romans were a majority? Hundreds of years ago. The dajjal did not come forth.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) describes the conquest of Constantinople involving swords, arrows, and horseback.
For example...
Narration 1 says "after hanging their swords by the olive trees"
Narration 2 says "they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows"
Narration 3 says "They will, therefore, throw away what would be in their hands go forward sending ten horsemen, as a scouting party."
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says (in the context of battles) that "goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the day of resurrection" which further supports the idea that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did not expect the world to advance beyond horses in battle.
If you want to say there are two seperate conquests in time, you're saying: 1. The Romans (Byzantines) will once again become a majority among the people, as the Byzantine empire fell many hundreds of years ago, and that their descendants that are still alive today, will become a majority, and fight the Muslims again. 2. People will revert to swords, bows, and horses. 3. Constantinople will once again fall into the hands of people other than the Muslims.
Another thing I've heard, is that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) used words like swords, arrows, and horses, so that people of the time would understand what he's talking about. Because if he mentioned guns, and cars they would think he's crazy and telling lies, or maybe the narrations would've been abandoned long ago for sounding crazy.
I have nothing to irrefutably disprove this, but I would think that the average, unbiased mind would not give this grace. I mean, imagine if Christianity or the LDS church said this. Would you give them such a great benefit?
One thing I can say, is that if he knew there would be a second conquest involving guns and cars, but he didn't want to throw the people off, he could've just avoided those specific details, or used neutral words, like how he uses "weapons" in narration 2. He could say they would send out scouts, and not mention horses. He didn't need to mention swords, the showering of arrows, and horses.
SECOND:
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) also gave these prophecies...
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit smiling and said: Every worshipper should keep sitting at his place. He then said: Do you know why I had asked you to assemble? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: By Allah. I have not made you assemble for exhortation or for a warning, but I have detained you here, for Tamim Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam, told me something, which agrees with what I was telling, you about the Dajjal. He narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the time of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat and entered that island. There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of these) they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasa. They said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager to know about you. He (the narrator) said: When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a devil. Then we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and having iron shackles between his two legs up to the ankles. We said: Woe be upon thee, who are you? And he said: You would soon come to know about me. but tell me who are you. We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for one month and they brought as near this island. We got Into the side-boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair his face could not be distinguished from his back. We said: Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al- Jassasa. We said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be the Devil. He (that chained person) said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. We said: About what aspect of theirs do you seek information? He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not. We said: yes. Thereupon he said: I think these would not bear fruits. He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyya? We said: Which aspect of it do you want to know? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is abundance of water in it. Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry. He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar. They said: Which aspect of it you want to know? He (the chained person) said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)? We said to him: Yes, there is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Medina) irrigate (land) with the help of it, He said: Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done? We said: He has come out from Mecca and has settled In Yathrib (Medina). He said: Do the Arabs fight against him? We said: Yes. He said: How did he deal with them? We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before him. Thereupon he said to us: Has it actually happened? We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself and I am Dajjal and would be soon permitted to get out and so I shall get out and travel in the land, and will not spare any town where I would not stay for forty nights except Mecca and Medina as these two (places) are prohibited (areas) for me and I would not make an attempt to enter any one of these two. An angel with a sword in his hand would confront me and would bar my way and there would be angels to guard every passage leading to it; then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) striking the pulpit with the help of the end of his staff said: This implies Taiba meaning Medina. Have I not, told you an account (of the Dajjal) like this? 'The people said: Yes, and this account narrated by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it corroborates the account which I gave to you in regard to him (Dajjal) at Medina and Mecca. Behold he (Dajjal) is in the Syrian sea (Mediterranean) or the Yemen sea (Arabian sea). Nay, on the contrary, he is in the east, he is in the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east. I (Fatima bint Qais) said: I preserved it in my mind (this narration from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Sahih Muslim 2942a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2942a
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) seems to agree with this story as truth (at the least doesn't say that Tamim Dari's experience is total bogus), and says that the dajjal is on earth, existing, alive, and in the east.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says "Have I not, told you an account (of the Dajjal) like this?"
The dajjal says he will not spare any town, but Mecca and Medina as angels guard it and prevent him from entering. This is exactly what Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said. Sahih Bukhari 1881 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1881
Everything the dajjal says in this agrees with what Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says. The dajjal accurately states everything that was going on in Arabia at the time, so we have good reason to believe the dajjal was being accurate when he reportedly said, "I am dajjal and would be soon permitted to get out"
Here, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says in two narrations that Jesus Christ (AS) will descend from the heavens soon...
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary (Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts. Sahih Bukhari 2222 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2222
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): -- 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them." Sahih Bukhari 3448 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3448
And we have Prophet Muhammad (SAW) waking fearfully and telling Zainab (his wife) some news...
That the Prophet (ﷺ) came to her in a state of fear saying, "None has the right to be worshiped but Allah! Woe to the Arabs because of evil that has come near. Today a hole has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog as large as this." pointing with two of his fingers making a circle. Zainab said, "I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we be destroyed though amongst us there are pious people? ' He said, 'Yes, if evil increases." Sahih Bukhari 3598 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3598
The Prophet (ﷺ) got up from his sleep with a flushed red face and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe to the Arabs, from the Great evil that is nearly approaching them. Today a gap has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this." (Sufyan illustrated by this forming the number 90 or 100 with his fingers.) It was asked, "Shall we be destroyed though there are righteous people among us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, if evil increased." Sahih Bukhari 7059 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:7059
Zainab bint Jahsh reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) got up from sleep saying: There is no being worthy of worship except Allah; there is a destruction in store for Arabia because of turmoil which is at hand, the barrier of Gog and Magog has opened so much. And Sufyan made a sign of ten with the help of his hand (in order to indicate the width of the gap) and I said: Allah's Messenger, would we be perished in spite of the fact that there would be good people amongst us? Thereupon he said: Of course, but only when the evil predominates. Sahih Muslim 2880a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2880a
Zainab bint Jahsh, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), reported that one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out in a state of excitement with his face quite red. And he was saying: There is no god but Allah; there is a destruction in store for Arabia because of the turmoil which is near at hand as the barrier of Gog and Magog has been opened like it, and he (in order to explain it) made a ring with the help of his thumb and forefinger. I said: Allah's Messenger, would we be destroyed despite the fact that there would be pious people amongst us? He said: Yes, when evil would be predominant. Sahih Muslim 2880c https://sunnah.com/muslim:2880c
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says that the evil of Gog and Magog is "near" or "near at hand," and the wall containing their people has opened up a little bit.
Here's another prophecy:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent us on foot to get spoil, but we returned without getting any. When he saw the signs of distress on our faces, he stood up on our faces and said: O Allah, do not put them under my care, for I would be too weak to care for them; do not put them in care of themselves, for they would be incapable of that, and do not put them in the care of men, for they would choose the best things for themselves. He then placed his hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah, when you see the caliphate has settled in the holy land, earthquakes, sorrows and serious matters will have drawn near and on that day the Last Hour will be nearer to mankind than this hand of mine is to your head. Abu Dawud said: 'Abd Allah b. Hawalah belongs to Hims. Sunan Abu Dawud 2535 https://sunnah.com/abudawud:2535
The "holy land" refers to the area roughly known as Israel and Palestine. The caliphate settled in Jersualem around the year 638 by Caliph Umar.
And Allah (SWT) in the Quran says... "The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]." Quran 54:1 https://legacy.quran.com/54/1
Now, "soon," "near at hand," "nearer" and "near" are all relative, and Gog and Magog's wall opening up doesn't necessarily demand it would happen quickly, but with the prior Hadiths mentioning swords, horses, and arrows during the emergence of the dajjal; one may begin to understand how "soon" these things really were expected.
When Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says Jesus (AS) will descend shortly, and says the dajjal will emerge when swords, bows, and horseback are being used; one can understand how 'soon' Jesus was expected to descend (and kill the dajjal).
In conclusion Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says that: 1. The dajjal is on earth, and seems to agree that he will soon emerge. 2. Jesus (AS) will descend soon. 3. Gog and Magog's wall has opened up a bit. Woe to the Arabs for the evil that is nearly approaching them. 4. (Places his hand on companion's head) The last hour will be nearer to the people than his hand is to his head when the caliphate settle in the holy land (which happened in 638). 5. The dajjal will emerge after the conquering of Constantinople. 6. The Romans will be a majority when the last hour comes. 7. They will be using swords, bows, and horses during the conquering of Constantinople and the emergence of the dajjal And Allah (SWT) says the hour has drawn near.
There's no reason to believe that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) expected the world to go on for atleast another 1400 years.
BONUS:
In this Hadith, Utba b. Ghazwan says that the Muslims were given news of the world's ending, and that's it quite early, (atleast I'm like 85% sure that's what means)...
Utba b. Ghazwan delivered us a sermon and he praised Allah and lauded Him, then said: Now coming to the point, verily the world has been given the news of its end and that too quite early. Nothing would be left out of it but only water left in the utensil which its owner leaves, and you are going to shift to an abode which knows no end, and you should shift with the good before you, for we have been told that a stone would be thrown at one side of the Hell and it would go down even for seventy years but would not be able to reach its bottom. By Allah, it would be fully packed. Do you find it something strange, and it has been mentioned that there yawns a distance which one would be able to cover in forty years from one end to another of Paradise, and a day would come when it would be fully packed and you must be knowing that I was the seventh amongst seven who had been with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we had nothing to eat but the leaves of the tree until the corners of the mouth were injured. (The Hadith goes on, but it doesn't appear relevant and it takes up a lot of space). Sahih Muslim 2967a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2967a
This could support the idea that the Muslims (who knew Prophet Muhammad (SAW) first-hand) did not think the world was going to last terribly long.

Platform(s): PC
Genre: Action/shooteinfiltration (unsure how much of each), probably 3rd person
Estimated year of release: Early to mid 2000s
Graphics/art style:

• Realistic (for the time), kinda similar to IGI 2: Covert Strike.
• Urban setting, a bit dark and gritty but still set in the real world and with a functioning society (i.e. no apocalypse, aliens, or crazy technological advancements). Could be set anytime from 1980s onwards.
• Not very graphic/gory, even in the fight and shooting scenes
• Also had at least a handful of cutscenes with spoken dialogue

Notable characters:

• You play a man, 30-40s, short dark-hair, built, probably white. Think stereotypical gritty action hero that mostly grunts and maybe has some vaguely tragic past. There is no character customization or name choice.
• The only other character I remember is a blonde woman, possibly wearing a black dress, that you meet early on in the game and sleep with.

Notable gameplay mechanics: Linear gameplay with alternating stealth/shooteexploring sections
Other details:

• All these memories are based on 1-2hrs of gameplay max, so maybe aren't super representative
• Early on you are at hotel (black-tie party maybe?) to do something shady (steal stuff/meet up with contact/gather info/...)
• Meet the blonde woman mentioned above in a hotel room, ensue PG13 sex cutscene
• Soon before or after that you have a gameplay section where you climb out through the window and on the side of the building
• Later on you're fighting against an enemy group in a parking lot and they throw molotov cocktails at you (or maybe you at them)
• The shooter-type sections were either pretty limited or really not-graphic
• Very unlikely but could theoretically have been a game released only in French and not English

Hi, Having lurked here for a while and sending DMs to some people, I've mustered the courage to publish a post of my own.
Here is something about me so that you can filter if you'd like to talk to me or not:
My hobbies: I love reading, going out for walks in parks, travelling, exploring places, writing and i love learning new languages and understanding different cultures. I love penpaling too and I used to do postcrossing. I love reading classics and Jane Austen is my favourite author. I love dogs too and would love to have one in my life as a true friend :)
Personality wise, I can be perceived as being bubbly and cheery but also introverted. I'm a hugger and I definitely have golden retriever energy. I get too excited with simple pleasures in life like looking outside the window, sitting in sunshine etc. I adore sunshine and flowers too. If you haven't figured yet, I ramble a lot and can write loong paragraphs like this one. I'm a better texter and perhaps I'd be a bit more shy in person.
I am looking for a kindred spirit to explore life with and have interesting conversations with and someone i can connect with. A friend and a confidante. If youve read Anne of Green Gables, im looking for my own Gilbert Blythe :)
If you're in the same age range, 23-28, that'd be ideal. And being geographically closer, UK/Europe would be helpful too.
I am 24F, from India but live in the UK. I'm 5'3", black short hair, brown eyes, not very fit but working on my fitness, wear glasses. I am plain/average looking. I would want to exchange SFW pics after intros as attraction is important to me, if I'm being completely honest. I'm not very good-looking, so I don't want to lead anyone on or be led on if I don't find them attractive. I'm completely okay with being rejected as I understand everyone has preferences (I'd do the same politely if someone isn't my type) so no hard feelings.
If you found my bio relatable or likeable, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you :)

Originally I was going to do braids as that's my go to for dealing with this issue but unfortunately my hair is too short for braids now. I really want to have my hair look nice so I can feel confident going out on my bday but I am not sure what to do with it. I think I attached two images with this post but lmk if it doesn't show up. If anyone has advice on some styles I can try with it please let me know I would greatly appreciate it.

I have 3b hair that’s growing from a relaxer and I’d like to know if I can get a curly perm to make it curly faster. Would it ruin my hair? My roots are about 2 inches and I don’t wanna cut it now because I don’t want my hair to be too short. Thank you
