I am in a difficult situation where I desperately need money for my child’s education and household expenses. However, I strongly oppose taking loans with interest, and I am at a loss for how to arrange the funds without resorting to them. This struggle has left me feeling distant from my faith, something I’ve never experienced so deeply before.

In an effort to save money, I’ve reduced my acts of charity, which weighs heavily on my heart. My long working hours often make me miss my prayers, and this only deepens my sense of guilt and disconnection from Allah.

Seeing people around me enjoying wealth and spending extravagantly on unnecessary things fills me with frustration and helplessness. I am constantly worried about my child’s future, and this worry consumes me.

How can I change myself and reconnect with my faith? How can I draw closer to Allah and find peace in these difficult times? I long to restore my trust in Him and find the strength to face these challenges without losing hope or my connection to my Creator.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

I (a christian who wants to convert upcoming friday) have been interested in islam for quite a while now. I have told my father who is a strict christian 3 months ago that i want to convert to islam. This was the hardest and most difficult conversation i had in my entire life since i had to hurt my dad and see him hurt because of my life choice. We did not speak for 4 days until we spoke again and he brought up certain subjects regarding to christianity which i had no knowledge of at the time (this was mostly cultural related). I have done my research for the past months and my heart lies with islam. Last friday i wanted to speak with my dad that i have made my final decision, but unfortunately, that specific day, he got fired from his job. He was very upset about it and i didn’t want to give him another kick in the gut by telling him i have made my final decision which he will not like and even get to a point of me getting kicked out of the house. I called and texted some muslim friends with the question whether i should do it in secret or not because i know his mental health would decrease even more because of this. I’ve been told that if it affects him to this extend (and probably even further) i should do it in secret and show my parents (especially my dad) that i don’t change and only become better. Show him that muslims are respectable people and show the love and respect for parents how is teached in islam without him knowing.

My heart is set, and i know what i believe in. But i am still scared for upcoming friday. I’m also very excited. I feel like i’m going behind my parents back. Is this the right choice i’m making regarding to do everything in secret? I love my parents to bits but knowing that this life choice will cost our connection and bond makes it really scary.

As-salamu alaykum brothers and sisters, i am a Cuban revert who reverted to Islam on Eid of 2024! I have some questions or more so in need of a place to vent my issues in hopes of easing my mind. For context, i had always questioned my previous religion(Christianity) but i lost touch with my faith a couple years ago. In trying to restore my faith, Islam found me, alhamdulillah! While i still have a lot to learn, i met an amazing Muslim woman who i started dating before reverting and now knowing, it was haram relationship. But i reverted while we were still together, not for her btw, and i always had the intention to marry her and i know within Arab culture its usually normal to marry within a year or less of knowing each other. But as a Cuban American it was a lot for me to take in! We recently broke up due to the huge culture difference in the sense of marriage and the financial hardships i’ve endured as i wouldn’t be able to take care of her as her family would like me to nor the religion of Islam standardizes. I hope for clarity and thank you all for the time!
