Almost all of my friends and family humiliate me and make fun of my nose. Surely if it’s that bad

Hello. This may be a bit long but it’s super personal and it’s affected me throughout a great portion of my life. I’ve never spilled my guts like this before so it’s coming out all at once. I’d appreciate it if you read the whole thing and go through what I went through with me. I’ve had to build up the courage to even make this post.

Ever since I was around 13 when I hit puberty my nose got bigger. A lot bigger. I never cared until I got taunted for it. Now I care a lot. Sometimes when I meet new people after we get close enough to trash talk or friendly banter they ALWAYS comment about my nose. It would be easier to name the friends that didn’t comment on how big my nose is since they would probably be 2 or 3 idk. But I know that the majority of my friends comment about it.

I use the word “comment” to sugarcoat the situation but it was nothing short of humiliation. My aunts make a comment about it almost every week. Last time I showed my aunt a video of my self doing something and she said “I didn’t pay attention to the video I was just looking at your nose”. My own mother. Yes my MOTHER makes fun of my nose. I brush it off like I don’t cry myself to sleep every once in a while about it.

I’m a man. Sure I’m a young man but I hardly cry. I don’t remember the last time I cried but I guarantee you it was due to the humiliation I was getting. I had hardly anyone to vent about this to, not even my mother as she is a major source of my insecurity. I showed her a picture of my self once and she said “it’s mostly a picture of a nose”.

I don’t smile in pictures or laugh in front of others without covering my face since that makes my nose larger and others will switch to laughing at my nose. It’s taking away the fundamentals of my social life. Laughing and smiling. I want anyone reading this to thank allah that they can smile without feeling grossly insecure about it.

I used to have acne so I got on accutane which is a medication that helps get rid of acne but as a side effect it also makes your nose smaller. I got excited when I found this out. I took it for one month and it kind of did get a bit smaller. Even my aunt which takes makes fun of me almost weekly said that it got a bit smaller. I was over the moon. UNTIL I went to do a blood test the next week and found out that my liver enzymes got dangerously high and I need to get off this medication. My nose got big again and the mockery started all over. It was a false hope which in a way was worse than no hope at all as I got used to being hopeless about it. It was a spit in my face. Nothing short of it. I still remember my reaction at the doctors office, I remember her exact words, I even remover what the room smelled like. I can’t forget that day when I was told that I had to get off of the medication. It was horrible and it was all I thought about during long drives home for a month straight. The doctor’s words came out so causally like it didn’t matter that I just got my only hope ripped away from me. It’s like giving a blind man the ability to see but only for 1 day. Juuuussst to let him know what he’s missing out on. It still taunts me to this day but thankfully not nearly as much.

Eh. Why should I bore you with more and more situations. All you should know is that it’s definitely abnormally large. I mean, it better be nothing short of abnormal if that many people taunt me about it.

I always heard that if something is abnormal in your body you can change it. Sure my nose isn’t crooked or with one nostril but it sure is abnormally large.

Is it permissible for someone like me to do a nose job?

Muslim doctor assisting a non-married couple in conceiving a baby through IVF?

As a Muslim doctor working in the UK, I would like to specialize in reproductive medicine. Would it be considered haram for me to assist a non-married couple in conceiving a baby through IVF? Should I inquire about the marital status of the couples who come into our clinic?

Working as a cosmetic dentist

AOA
My question was in regards to working as a cosmetic dentist. In the UK the majority of jobs as a dentist require you to do some form of cosmetic work like veneers, Invisalign, teeth whitening, composite bonding. If these procedures are done just for beautification is it halal? Veneers require mild shaving of the front tooth by a few mm to add a cover for teeth, would this classify as filing teeth? Please let me know of any dental treatments which you believe are haram. Additionally, what do scholars mean by beautification, does correcting minor misalignment in your teeth and whitening teeth fall under the category? Please answer as I am confused as to whether I should pursue a career in this field.

Feeling sick and retching after negative feeling

ASW,

Ever since I have been married I have felt extra caution to protect myself and my wife from social media and evil eye using the morning and evening adhkar and practising to increase our levels of protection (May Allah allow us to do so). I have found after meeting certain people that they are giving off negative vibes and that I have a overwhelming feeling inside of overthinking and and I feel sick afterwards (dry heaving). After these feelings and thoughts I do self ruqyah, pray Quran and feel at peace. I understand Allah knows best but this feeling of awareness of where not to go and not trusting certain people because of feelings - is this something that can be listened to or should I practise more clarity and fight these thoughts.

Muslim Jinn Doctors helping humans with a illness

‎أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

‎بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

If a muslim human ,
who has muslim friends among the jinn,

ask the jinn to help humans afflicted with black magic or other illnesses is it considered haram and unlawful?

The person in question always tells people shifa comes from Allah and they can only help but not guarantee success. He also advises people to seek medical treatment from doctors since black magic also produces physical illnesses.


How does a person distinguish between true ruqyah and evil charlatans?

What are some alarming things to help distinguish between black magicians and muslim people and jinns who genuinely help people afflicted with black magic and illnesses?

Is this black magic?

AssalamoAlaikum. My fiance I got engaged in 2019 and we were living happily but after some time there was sudden change in my fiance as he gets angry on small things too much . When he talks on phone he gets too much angry that he said many times I will leave you but we meet in person he is totally opposite person then he say I can't leave you. Sometimes he doesn't know what he is saying. According to her mother she sees some symptons of black magic as he fights with his family too on small things and he had accidents almost every month . Sometimes he slips from bike sometimes he see a black man with no face on road and that time his car hit on the foot path and that black man disappears in the garbage .

We also do sadqah but no change in his behavior. He has too much anger issues from past year.
Kindly let me know that is this black magic? If yes then how can I remove it from being at my home? I will be very thankful if you will answer as we both are in very tension

Possible madhiy secreted after exam of back passage

Assalamualeykum wrwb,
I recently had a rectal exam, where the doctor put his finger in my back passage, and might have felt my prostate. I was not aroused, but when I later checked my pants, there was madhiy. I naturally produce madhiy randomly, and I do not know if this was because of the exam or from before. Do i need to do fard ghsul? (1) Doing fard ghusl is very difficult for me as I have OCD and spend very long flossing, and brushing, gargling and washing my nose, as I try to make sure the water reaches all parts of my mouth, and am not sure if my nose is clear of mucus, and my nose is often blocked. Is it okay to follow the shafi ruling which does not require washing the mouth and nose as fard of ghusl, because i am mentally ill. (2)
