But these days, even I will just answer, "Alhamdulillah" when people ask me how are you or hows life. It's because, unfortunately, our ummah today like to indulge in gossips. You'll say,"Good, just busy with housework". And then the next thing you know, everyone is pitying you because they heard you had troubles in your marriage. I don't know how busy with housework can change to having troubles in marriage. Its a fact this ummah today loves gheebah and namimah. So I have to always stay on the safe side and answer alhamdulillah or something along that line.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-10656">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I understand where you’re coming from.

Great article! appreciate the awareness! :)<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-747">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I had the exact same thought a couple years ago “why do i ask ‘how are you’? do i really mean it with sincerity? am i really concerned?” now, it’s been my practice that when i ask, i really do care and want to know, no matter who you are. but how can you make the recipient feel trusted with their feelings? sometimes i get the feeling that they dont want to talk. that’s ok to, i guess. it’s up to them to let it all out or just be. but my sincerity and concern is what counts.
