I am a young unmarried woman living at my parents' house. My mother is the primary caregiver for my sick grandmother, so she has been living with her for the past year. As a result, I've been living alone with my father.

For lunch and dinner, we usually don't have a fixed routine. Sometimes I cook, sometimes we order takeout, and other times we buy something quick and make a salad or a simple meal.

I work full-time, and over the past month I haven't had much time to cook, so I mostly eat whatever is available at home. I pay for all of my own personal expenses except food.

Recently, my father and I had an argument. Since then, he has stopped getting dinner for me. He will buy takeout for himself, bring it home, and eat it while I am left with nothing.

I find this situation very hurtful and unfair. I was wondering whether, from an Islamic perspective, he is neglecting any religious obligation toward me as his unmarried daughter. What are my rights in this situation, and what would be the best way to handle it?

Argument context: The argument happened on Eid al-Adha. We were supposed to go home together, but he drove off without waiting for me. I called him, but he hung up on me. I tried calling several more times, but he didn't answer. I also left him multiple voice messages asking why he had done that, telling him how hurt I was, and explaining what had upset me.

He hasn't spoken a single word to me since then.

I was born and raised a muslim, however, my family was never really religious, it was more so of a *Pray if you want* kinda thing. So I never really cared about Islam. Until I met this muslim brother in school, and he gave me all kinds of lectures and information. Mashallah! His faith pushed me to better my self and research Islam and read and understand The Holy Book The Quran. but now its a year since ive talked to the guy, Ive started involving myself in haram relationships, hanging out with the wrong crowd, looking at Haram things, et cetera.

Now I still succeed to pray all five prayers Alhamdelah, but sometimes, I purposely pray them later, very fast, I know its wrong, but it feels like I cant help myself you know? I cant even bring myself to listen to Quran.

Eventually, going down this track Im afraid I might lose Islam entirely!

So if anyone can give me advice, or a reality check, that would be very appreciated. Thank you for those who read.

Assalam o alaikum everyone. I am really curious about whether or not therapy aligns with muslim values. My family believes that therapy is not needed for muslim and prayer and allah's worship is enough. I have been in severe depression for 3-4 years now and i want to get out, and improve. I have been considering therapy because i've tried so many things by myself but they don't work. I definitely believe that nothing can calm my heart and bring me as much as peace as being close to allah and praying can but therapy offers many solutions to many specific problems. And i would prefer authentic evidences to back up claims.

Hi everyone! I'm a seminary student taking a graduate course. One of my assignments is to have a respectful conversation with someone who practices a non-Christian religion.

🙏My goal is to understand your worldview, not to debate or argue. 🙏

I'd really appreciate any responses to these questions:
————————————
What led you to become a Muslim (or were you raised Muslim)?

What keeps you committed to Islam?

What do you think the world is for?

In your own words, what do you believe is the purpose of human life?

What aspect of Islam do you find most beautiful?

What do you believe is humanity's biggest problem, and how is that problem ultimately solved?

What role does Jesus (Isa) play in Islam, and how do you understand him?

What do you think happens after death, and how can someone have confidence about their standing before God?

Is there anything you wish Christians understood better about Islam?

Is there anything else you think is essential for someone outside Islam to understand about your faith?

———————————————

I would appreciate answers to all these questions, but feel free to answer as many or as few as you want! Thank you in advance!

So, i was suffering from intense body dysphoria which caused me to try to alter my facial structure (Astaghfirulla, may Allah forgive me for what i did), i specially pushed and pulled my jaw alot, now i guess have gotten some tmj issues and maybe disc displacement. Alhamdullilah it dodnt got worse before i got sense and realised i have to seek medical help to evaluate for serious damages. I am extremely worried now, although it doesnt affect my appearance but what if the problem gets worse? I am super guilty of what i did and i really pray May Allah forgive me and fix my problem as he is the Healer. Plz everyone pray for my recovery ameen.

Salam aleikum ikhwan

Recently, I started memorizing the Quran. At the moment, I am in a phase where I mainly listen to my own recitation to improve it. I have noticed myself, and others have also mentioned, that my voice has a naturally nasal tone.

I try to imitate Sheikh Shuraim’s recitation style because I listen to him daily and feel that his style suits my voice and is one I can relate to.

My question is: Since I live in the Netherlands, I am looking for an institute or school that can help me improve my Quran recitation (tajweed) as well as my memorization (hifdh). This question is mainly directed to my brothers who live in the Netherlands. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Jazakum Allahu khayran.
