Why does people accuse you of atheist when you question beliefs?
Lately I've been asking myself a lot about existence and purpose of humans and found that absurdism is the only answer (I believe in islam and that we should worship god tho) when I try to open a conversation about it people run from the conversation or just say you're on you way to atheism, I mean what's wrong with questioning such stuff even Abraham questioned God at a certain point and it's mentioned in the coran, so what do you think?

Leaving Is Giving Up**
By leaving, you’re not just abandoning the challenges of your home country—you’re also leaving behind the good people who dream of change. Corrupt systems thrive when those who could challenge them choose to leave. It’s like handing the country over without a fight.
This is our land, our home. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours. Staying and working towards positive change—however small—can make a difference. Change doesn’t happen overnight or through one person alone, but every effort counts.
**Closing Thoughts**
Immigration is a deeply personal decision, and everyone has the right to choose what’s best for their life. But before taking the leap, think critically. Don’t just look at the grass on the other side—think about the sacrifices, challenges, and long-term consequences.
What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss.

Where to go for peaceful getaway?
Hey everyone,
I've got 16 days left in Morocco and have seen all the places I wanted to see. Morocco is an incredibly noisy place and I'm looking for somewhere quiet, tranquil with fast wi-fi so I can do my computer stuff in the morning and go for a walk in the afternoon. I don't need shopping malls, nightlife, etc., just somewhere safe, quiet and with fast wi-fi. Any recommendations?
I don't need restaurants, either, just somewhere where I can buy groceries in the vicinity.
I've been to Agadir, Tagazhout, Tamraght, Marrakech, Fes, Chefchaouen, Tangier, Casablanca, Essaouira, Rabat and Ouarzazate. I was thinking about Dakhla, but doubt they've got reliable wi-fi.

what would you guys do in my place??
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice on a situation I’m currently in. I’ve been at my current job for 1.5 years, and while I enjoy the environment, have great colleagues, and decent benefits, the pay and growth opportunities are lacking. I recently got a small raise that left me feeling underwhelmed, and I’m starting to wonder if I should explore other options.
A recruiter reached out to me about a new job opportunity, but I initially got cold feet and missed the call. They followed up, and now the opportunity is back on the table. I’m torn about whether I should pursue it or stick with the stability and familiarity of my current role.
For context:
• My current net salary is around 9000 MAD, and I would consider moving only for 14,000 MAD or higher.
• I’m not super career-oriented, but I value financial stability the most
• I enjoy my current work environment, my colleagues are literally my besties and transportation in my current job is much more convenient than this “new” one
What would you do in my place? Would you explore the new opportunity or stay put for now?
Thankss!

Am I the only one who gets mad about people not sitting at their assigned seats on the train
I take a train every morning for school, and I ride on Al Atlas, the one with assigned seats. And every single morning I find someone sitting at my seat and have to ask them to move. It's always been young people so no problem asking them, but right now I'm standing up writing this because and old man is in my seat, thankfully it's just a 30min ride but imagine if I was going somewhere really far where it's gonna take hours. I know that we have to respect our elders, but is it okay for them to also take someone else's seat?
There are atleast 20 people standing up rn because they couldn't find an empty seat.
I'm pretty sure ONCF doesn't overbook, that is if we don't count the people with Navette Card that just sit wherever, but even they can use their card to get an ticket with an assigned seat.
Is it really that hard to read what's on your ticket instead of just sitting wherever?
Edit: Because the cart was so full of people that wouldn't move, a lot missed their stop at Salé Tabriquet, and had to get off at Salé Ville.

Would you choose to be a stay-at-home mom if your husband could afford it?
I’ve been discussing this question with my friends, and we had some mixed opinions.
If your husband could afford for you to stay home, would you consider it, or would you rather keep focusing on your career?
From what I’ve seen, many women who continued working while raising young children found it very demanding—but they still managed, often with help from family (grandparents who look after the kids, etc). I feel that balancing a career and family life is a big challenge, especially when kids are young. What are your thoughts on this balance? How do you feel about the idea of taking a career break vs. pursuing both paths?

Is this a normal question?
In order to have the certificate of celibacy, you need two male witnesses. I don't know any Moroccans in the country I'm in, so I was looking for two witnesses to go with me to the consulate of Morocco in the country I'm in, I found a guy willing to do it on FB but he asked if I was a virgin, which I found rude and out of line, is it normal to ask this????
I decided to do it in Morocco, my family can testify, I would have liked to have it early on but I'll just wait.

Question to people who apply for visa tourist EU please!
Hello guys, i have a question please. My family applied for Schengen Visa tourist through VFS Global ( some countries are required to apply through this ).
After a few days my family received phone calls telling them to send their email address to this phone number that is calling them because ‘ they forgot some documents ‘
Keep in mind that they already wrote their emails on the formulaire they filled for visa + the dat when they applied, they told them they have all documents & took the ‘dossier’
Is this a common practice or just a fishy thing from unknown source?
One of the family members did send the email & nothing received & the other member of family didnt & even called vfs to ask if thats their number they said yes. But its still fishy how he was urgently asking them for the email
Of course its just an email but they were scared because its connected to their accounts, banks etc.
What do you think?

My Thoughts on Immigration
Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about immigration, both legal and illegal, to Western countries. As someone who could be a prime candidate for considering this option—coming from a modest background, no significant connections—I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the subject. I’m not here to tell anyone what to do. You’re entitled to your opinions, and I’m here to share mine. Feel free to agree or disagree.
**1. Idealizing the West vs. Criticizing Home**
When people consider immigrating, they often see it as a shift from darkness (their home country) to light (the West). But it’s rarely that simple. Every place has its pros and cons, and ignoring the challenges of the destination—or the strengths of your current home—can lead to a distorted perspective. It’s essential to weigh both sides thoughtfully. Morocco isn’t perfect, but neither is the West.
**2. The Quality of Life Argument**
People often assume the quality of life in the West is inherently better. But quality of life is largely tied to your income. In Morocco, the more money you make, the better your lifestyle—just like anywhere else. For example:
* If you earn more, you can switch from public transport to owning a car.
* You can move to cleaner neighborhoods and access better amenities.
While it’s true some cultural habits (like intrusive stares aka L7adiya) might not change, many environmental factors can be improved by personal effort or adaptation. There are aspects of life here that you can control, and others you must learn to live with.
**3. “Lack of Opportunities” Is a Myth**
Many claim Morocco lacks opportunities, but often, the issue lies in a lack of skills—whether hard or soft. Favoritism and nepotism (Bak Sahbi) exist, yes, but they don’t define every success story. I know young people in their twenties making 20–30k MAD a month. How? They worked on themselves, acquired skills, and stayed persistent.
Opportunities exist for those willing to look for them. Beyond jobs, there’s entrepreneurship. If the market doesn’t offer you a seat at the table, build your own.
**4. Once You’re Out, You’re Out**
Immigration is not a temporary move—it’s often a new life entirely. Once abroad, you’ll likely stay for 10–15 years or more before even considering a return. During that time, life back home doesn’t pause for you. People move on, relationships fade, and when (or if) you return, you might find yourself feeling like a stranger in your own land. Starting over comes at the cost of leaving your roots behind.
**5. The West’s Role in Our Struggles**
The prosperity of Western countries is built, in part, on the exploitation of the Global South. Over decades, they’ve looted natural resources, propped up corrupt regimes, and benefitted from cheap labor—all while maintaining systems that perpetuate inequality.
* If you’re skeptical, I recommend reading *Confessions of an Economic Hit Man* by John Perkins.
Ironically, many immigrants flee poverty and corruption caused by these systems, only to contribute to the very economies that perpetuate these issues. It’s a cycle worth thinking about.
**6. Stop Romanticizing Immigration**
Social media is flooded with content from people who’ve moved abroad, painting a rosy picture of life in the West. They share new immigration programs, job opportunities, and lifestyle perks. While I get that they’re excited about their success, this constant flow of idealized content influences others—sometimes irresponsibly. Not everyone’s experience will match theirs.
To those sharing such content: let people make their decisions without undue pressure. Your journey is your own; let others have theirs.
**7. The Job Reality**
For most immigrants, the jobs available are at the bottom of the ladder—hard labor, long hours, and little recognition. While these jobs might pay more compared to equivalent roles at home, they come with their own challenges, like limited career growth and social stigma. If you’re considering immigration, it’s crucial to ask yourself if you’re prepared for this.

Saying Yes is binding
Hey so i was actually chocked that most people don’t know this , to give you the context i do an internship in lawyer office and you can’t imagine the amount of cases we get about this
exp : two people talk on whatsapp about a product ( house , car …) they agree on a price , but the next day the seller get a better offer and sell the product to someone else
you should know what a contract is not necessary written and you saying “ okey i will sell you the house” verbally is binding and the other party can sue you and get the house back or ask for compensation specifically if they have a good understanding of what they are doing
so remember next time you are negotiating with someone don’t agree and give yourself a marge or at least agree with a condition ( for exemple i will send u the house after i consult ) or any other excuses

i my proposed Salary as a junior architect in Rabat normal?
Hello everyone,
I'm a recent architecture graduate in Morocco, and I'm currently in the negotiation process for my first job in Rabat. During the interview, the architect offered me a starting salary that was, to be honest, disappointing, especially that I interned with them previously and contributed to a successful project.
The offer was 6500dh ! Are salaries generally on the lower side in Rabat for entry-level architects ? or should I try negotiating for a higher amount? Any advice or insights would be very much appreciated!
