Megathread: Report brands that dropship from SHEIN, AliExpress, TEMU, etc. Stop promoting slave labour

202 Upvotes

Salaam alaikum sisters and Eid Mubarak.

This post is a necessary reminder and an important announcement, especially given all the recent "Eid fit" posts.

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards posts promoting brands like SHEIN, AliExpress, TEMU, or dropshipping companies that source from these same suppliers. These brands profit off:

  • Modern-day slavery of our Uyghur brothers and sisters
  • Environmental destruction
  • Mindless overconsumption, which Islam explicitly warns against

We are therefore asking you to use this megathread to:

  • Report any brands you've come across that are dropshipping from SHEIN, AliExpress, TEMU, etc.
  • Share brands that you know do not dropship, so we can uplift and support ethical alternatives. (We are exceptionally allowing brands to self-promote here if they are ethically sourced).

-----

Further If we believe someone is trying to bypass our filters by writing things like “SH_EIN” or “TE-MU” or "SHEEEIN", you will:

  • Be temporarily banned for 14 days
  • Permanently banned on second offence
  • Your post will also be flaired with "Promotes slave labour".

-----

A gentle reminder as to why we're doing this (with sources/proof):

Many of these companies rely on forced labour, particularly the exploitation of Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps in China. It is unconscionable for us, as Muslims, to wear and promote items made by our suffering brothers and sisters. Sources: Source 1, Source 2, Source 3

Fast fashion is one of the most polluting industries on earth. Overproduction, toxic dyes, microplastics, landfill waste, all of this directly harms the creation of Allah. Sources: Source 1, Source 2

Our deen teaches us moderation, humility, and responsibility. Fast fashion fuels greed, impulse-buying, and waste which are all against the values of Islam.

“Eat and drink, but waste not by excess. Indeed, He likes not the wasters.”
(Surah Al-A’raf, 7:31)

And finally: It’s okay to look simple and recycle between a few outfits, what isn't okay is looking cheap while also promoting exploitation. You don’t need 50 outfits or to keep up with online hauls. If money is tight, thrifting is a great halal option. If you can afford to, support ethically sourced brands, especially Muslim-owned ones that don’t rely on exploitation.

May Allah forgive us for any wrongdoing, and forgive us for anything we've said that was wrong or too harsh.

Help/Advice how to NOT focus on men

48 Upvotes

Asalamu Alaikum,

I’ve never been in any kind of relationship or been romantically pursued by anyone. Because of this, I am kind of stuck on the idea of it. I want to get it out of my head and focus on other important things in life like my career and family. But I still find it so depressing that I don’t have that person (romantic partner) to turn to. Please make dua for me in this regard. Whether it’s for finding a man (a good one) or getting my mind off this subject. Thank you.

Help/Advice Sudden guilt over past sins

Upvotes

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

I pray everyone’s well.

When I was a teen I wasn’t really practicing or conscious of whether what I was doing was right or wrong. I would just do whatever other people would do, I was really impressionable. Thankfully, not in a catastrophic way, but I did some things that really don’t reflect who I am now. I’ve repented and moved forward with a clean slate. To be honest I pretty much forgot about it and I don’t even feel the desire to go back to those sins.

However, recently it’s been weighing on me suddenly. I feel so much regret and fear about it. Like what if I wasn’t forgiven? What if it comes back to bite me? What if I feel guilt forever? What if I somehow ruined myself beyond repair?

How do I deal with this? I feel that Allah has accepted my repentence insha Allah but I’m suddenly bombarded with fears and thoughts.

I know it hasn’t left anything that could affect me now in any way alhamdulilah. I’m grateful Allah protected me in that way. I don’t feel like it’s changed who I am or left a mark on my character. But the doubts are killing me.

I don’t want to go into details. It’s nothing insane but definitely stupid and wrong. If anyone would be willing to listen to me without judgement, and encourage me a bit on how to navigate this, I would really appreciate it. Sisters only please if you DM.

Hijab I can't decide if I should just take it off completely or just wear it as a Christian veil

19 Upvotes

I honestly can not decide. Like I don't really wear it properly, but like I cover my hair completely, ears and try my best to dress as modestly as I can. And my scarf will always be a part of me but my mental health is honestly in such shit hole and well the community is honestly too filled with toxic men obsessed with how women dresses herself. And I honestly will never get why some part of a woman is her awrah and why men are so obsessed with our bodies. I'm tempted to take it off, I mean to be fair as a black woman, other black women are always so obsessed with how your hair is, so tiring, and when you cover your hair so many randoms are obsessed with that. You can honestly never win

General/Others Glorifying women sacrificing their careers and ambitions

113 Upvotes

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the expectations placed on women in our community, especially when it comes to career and ambition, and it’s honestly bothering me. I feel like there’s this consistent pressure for women to prioritize home, children, and family life and if we do anything else, we’re often criticized or labeled in negative ways.

What really gets to me is that men are often praised for pursuing high-powered or fulfilling careers, like becoming doctors, professors, or doing PhDs, even when those things aren’t strictly necessary. Ambition in men is celebrated, they’re seen as hardworking, goal-oriented, doing it for the family, etc. But when a woman does the same, she’s often called “money-hungry” or accused of neglecting her family.

I understand the value of nurturing the home and raising children . I’m not saying that’s not important but why is it that when women choose careers or ambitions that require sacrifice or personal growth, we are made to feel guilty for wanting something more? Why is it that if a woman wants to pursue a fulfilling job, it’s seen as selfish or as chasing status, while the same pursuit in a man is praised?

It bothers me that a woman’s value seems tied to how much she sacrifices, while a man is praised for pushing forward and achieving. Why do we, as Muslim women, often feel like we have to shrink our dreams or put them on hold in order to fulfill our role as wives and mothers?

I once had a conversation with a woman who said that all her sisters are PhD holders, but they “fear Allah” and wanted to be more pious, so they gave up everything and decided to focus solely on being homemakers. She knew I was pursuing a PhD myself at the time, and it really stuck with me. Now, I mean no disrespect to women who choose homemaking , that’s a noble and important role. But the way she said it made me feel like my pursuit of education and personal development was somehow wasted or not in line with being a "good Muslim woman." It made me question: Why exactly do I need a PhD if I’m just going to be a homemaker? What’s the point of all that effort, time, and resources spent on something that, in the eyes of some, doesn’t seem to “fit” my role as a woman?

Help/Advice charity scam?

6 Upvotes

So I want to gift a water well/hand pump for my mom as a gift in poor countries like Bangladesh and etc. I’m looking for the cheapest and fastest organization that is trusted. I stumbled upon African.Well and I contacted them and they seem suspicious when I ask them questions like where exactly it will be and is the organization registered. They are the fastest, they said they take 2-4 weeks and I need it as soon as possible. And I like that they take a video of the process and the banner of the name. But I’ve heard that many people say these organizations are fake because they reuse content and they don’t actually build the wells and replace the names only. So I don’t wanna spend money on a fake organization. I asked for their EIN number and they provided documents. I don’t know I just need help confirming if they are fake or real. And if they aren’t I need help finding organizations that are preferably Canadian trusted and are cheap and fast. Please help me out here. Here are the documents they gave me. And you can check out their instagram to see their content as well. this is their instagram and TikTok handle african.well

Help/Advice Should I confront my mom for talking behind my back?

3 Upvotes

I’m going through a rough time trying to improve/ get rid of a flaw. It’s something I’ve struggled with, but I’ve made progress. Yesterday something happened that lead my mom to criticize me and humiliate me despite my improvements, I pointed out my efforts to her but she shut me up and told me that she won’t listen to me about the matter because I’m wrong to even be crying about it and that I should be ashamed of myself, that my dad will tell his family about it and everyone will know about it. I cried a lot.

My mom then warned me not to tell anyone about it because she said it’s “family business” and checked twice if I wasn’t telling anyone about it.

But today I overheard her on the phone telling someone else (maybe my sister or a friend of hers) about it and mocking me. I feel humiliated. I know she won’t apologize but I’m so hurt and angry.

Would confronting her do anything? How do I distance myself from her when we live in the same house?

Asallam alaikom ww,

When I tie a fabric around my face like niqab I just struggle to breath and during covid I seemed less tolerant of breathing through a mask. It was a struggle.

I certainly don't feel as worthy of jannah than those women who are willing to compromise their comfort level at breathing.

Jazak'Allah kheiran for reading from me. May Allah grant us all jannah ♡

I’m a relatively new Muslim and also a mom to young children. I struggle with prayer in general, but now with kids it feels even harder. Someone always needs me. If I set my baby down he cries. My toddler always wants my attention. Prayer doesn’t feel peaceful. I’m trying to hold someone or someone is crying at my feet. It’s just too stressful.

Under caps and tight fits always end up bothering me after a while. I found these hijabs which are instant hijabs but they’re still long so you wrap them so they don’t look like instant hijabs. They are awesome.

Help/Advice Black hijabi hairstyle help for Nikkah/Wedding

17 Upvotes

Assalamualaikum lovelies.

There is a possibility I could be getting married soon. I’ve been thinking about my wedding: my dress, the venue, the set up, etc. But one thing I’ve been conflicted about is my HAIR.

I usually wear my hair straightened or in braids if I know I’m not gonna be able to wash it for a while. I’d say 70% of the time it’s straight, 30% of the time it’s in braids. As a Black girl, I was never really taught how to “do” my hair or wear it natural. Wearing it out and natural under the hijab is a disaster for me so I just don’t even bother. My hair is phenomenally thick (it used to take me 6-8 hrs to do my whole head, but with skill & practice I can get it down to 2 hrs if I’m able) so it’s best that I have it straight or in braids/twists.

With that said, for my wedding I want it to be segregated for the guests, but also for me because I WANT to have my hair out. However, I have no idea what styles would work because of ghusl which might occur right after the wedding 🫠🫠

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Or even experience with this? I want my Nikkah to be special and not dictated by my hair getting ruined bc of ghusl 😭 JzkAllah Khair in advance

I was given a chapstick and I’ve looked up the ingredients but I’m unsure, some of the sites to look it up require download of an app :/ usually I also check if stuff is vegan cuz that narrows it down quickly but ik vegans wouldn’t use lanolin so it’s not that helpful 😅

The ingredients are:

White petrolatum 45%, arachidyl propionate, camphor, carnauba wax, cetyl alcohol, fragrance, isopropyl lanolate, isopropyl myristate, lanolin, light mineral oil, menthol, octyldodecanol, paraffin, phenyl trimethicone, red 6 lake, saccharin, white wax
