18 Everyday Problems Only Muslims Will Understand

    But is it halal?

    1. You've prayed for something really unnecessary at one point in your life – and then immediately felt guilty afterwards.

    Looked everywhere and couldnt find my cd player... I start praying salatul Asr.. Boom, i remember where it is! Smh #MuslimProblems

    2. You spend your bank holidays in bed, watching various series on Netflix.

    Another holiday talked about all over my timeline I don't celebrate lol #muslimproblems

    3. Especially since everyone is busy hanging out with their families.

    When you ask your friends to hang out on Sunday and they tell you it's Easter. #muslimproblems

    4. Which also means you probably don't get presents during Christmas and Easter.

    My dad has just asked me if I wanted a Christmas egg......... #MuslimProblems

    5. Oh, and when you’re on holiday, you mess up your sleeping pattern, which leaves you asking serious questions.

    Wait. Fajr is in two hours. I should just stay up. If I go to sleep now, I won't be able to wake up in 2 hours. #MuslimProblems

    6. Speaking of praying, don't pretend that you've never lost attention for a second and forgotten where you are.

    7. You *love* the idea of brunch but the best things on the menu are never halal, which severely limits your options.

    Breakfast menus would be so much more appealing if 99% of the menu didn't consist of bacon and/or pork. #MuslimProblems

    8. Here’s another thing: You often get asked really stupid questions.

    9. Really stupid questions.

    #MuslimProblems - When its raining and ur using a brolly then someones like why do u need it u got a scarf like say my scarf is waterproof

    10. Really, really, really stupid questions.

    #MuslimProblems "OMG so like u don't eat or drink for A WHOLE MONTHH????? But like u can drink water right???!!!!"

    11. You've accidentally eaten something before you've realised you're fasting at least once in your life.

    12. You know someone with an unfortunate name.

    13. Whenever a popular franchise comes to your town, the first thing you do is check its front door in case it's halal. Just in case.

    Lol #MuslimProblems “@neeshadass You don't even know how excited Zara got when she found out Pizza Hut was halal..... ”

    14. Especially if it’s Nandos.

    15. You've also experienced the occasional awkward moment – particularly in airports.

    Explaining to your friends why you walked into the toilet with a full bottle of water and walked out with an empty one #MuslimProblems

    16. If you weren't Muslim, you'd have zero idea what gelatine was. But as it turns out, it's in all the sweets you want to eat but can't.

    #MuslimProblems *eating sweets* 'I swear they have gelatine!' Me:

    17. One more thing: You can sometimes fall behind on new songs, or an entire pop culture phenomenon. What the hell is normcore, anyway?

    Shots just came on this youtube playlist and I thought it was about gun violence. #MuslimProblems

    18. And finally, you're almost certainly familiar with people mispronouncing your name.
