Salam I hope everyone is having a good ramadan. Just for some context I am a student so therefore not currently working. Just before ramadan i decided i want to give sadqah every day even if it is a little, as I believed that the rizq would come back to me so therefore i took out some money from my account and put it aside and intended it to be my sadqah money for ramadan. I wanted to give some from there everyday. However, currently I am struggling a lot financially with only £20 left in my account, I am making dua constantly but now I am wondering would it be okay for me to use that money i set aside or not? On one hand I want to have tawakkul, the verse which suggests Allah will provide from sources i cannot imagine and that he will compensate me with the money spent in his way however, it is getting to the point where i am unable to afford basic necessities and I am losing hope. Would it be okay to use the money? should i pray for my tawakkul to be increased? all help would be appreciated.

This Ramadan, build this one habit that will help you change beautifully

Instead of overthinking, turn each and every single one of your thought into a dua

Every fear

Every irritation

Every “what if”

Just make dua about it instead of thinking more and more about it, immediately make dua

When your mind says:

What if this happens?

Say

Ya Allah, don’t let this harm me. Write what is best for me and make me happy with it

When you think:

I know they’re going to hurt me again.

Say

Ya Allah, protect me from what I fear coming

When anger creeps in:

They always do this. It irritates me so much.

Say

Ya Allah, purify my heart and fix what is disturbing me and give them hidayah

When someone degrades you, insults you

Say

Ya Allah, grant me izzah and raise my ranks in dunya and akhirah

When loneliness whispers:

What if I’m left behind again? Forgotten?

Say:

Ya Allah, never leave me alone without Your closeness and become my best friend so that I dont even feel the need for anyone else

Overthinking is just misdirection. Mostly its whispers of shaitan to make you stressed and worried

Your mind keeps replaying scenarios because your heart wants security

So give it the right direction

Allah says:

“Call upon Me; I will respond to you.”

(Qur’an 40:60)

So instead of drowning in thoughts, redirect them upward

Make this your Ramadan reflex:

Thought → Dua

Fear → Dua

Anger → Dua

Insecurity → Dua

You will feel lighter

Not because life becomes perfect but because you are no longer carrying it alone.

And the more you turn to Allah for small things, the more natural it becomes to turn to Him for everything.

Let this Ramadan train your mind to run toward Allah before it runs toward worry.

I’ve been suffering from toothache all day. The pain keeps getting worse and worse. It became so bad to the point I couldn’t sleep at night. I kept waking up, hoping the pain would go away soon. I did a salt water rinse, I looked up 24h dental clinics, I took a paracetamol. I immediately booked an appointment for 8am at a clinic near me.

Now I think the paracetamol must’ve helped to reduce the pain significantly. I ditched my efforts to look for a dental clinic, I didn’t feel the need to do a salt water rinse. Heck I even decided to delay my visit to the dentist. Despite desperately needing help 30 min ago, feeling even a slight amount of relief made me forgo all my efforts to solve the problem.

Maybe it’s because it’s the month of Ramadhan. But I immediately linked it back to my relationship with Allah. So many times, when I’m drowning in problems and troubles and “pain”, I seek Allah’s guidance, I don’t delay my prayers, Allah is on my mind constantly. But with Allah’s grace, when that “pain” is gone, I start delaying my prayers, saying “what’s the difference between praying at 9pm or 3am? I’m still doing my isha before fajr”

It just goes to show how much we forgetful we are as humans. May Allah show mercy to us all.

Im a woman and my family always tells me to stop praying Maghreb alone during Ramadan because I can get greater rewards praying with the other family members but each time I try I find myself being too distracted by how close I am to that much people it just annoys me so much. Praying is very intimate to me and I believe I pray better alone. I kinda feel bad about it now yk ((

Over the past few months, I have immersed myself in a deep study of legal history and the evolution of secular ethics,I,was trying to reconcile the West's vocal commitment to "human rights" with the grim realities buried in its corridors of power. What I found was a profound chasm between Rhetoric and Reality.

The unsealing of some of the Epstein files served as a diagnostic tool for a dying moral objective; for me , it wasn't just a list of names, but a map of a rigged justice system where money and influence act as a solvent for so called rule of law. When figures like Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins the men lauded as the intellectual vanguards of modern reason in atheisem are linked to such circles, it exposes the inherent danger of a purely consequentialist worldview.

​Without an objective moral anchor, "good" and "evil" are discarded as archaic social constructs, replaced by a cold calculus of utility that inevitably favors the powerful. This vacuum of absolute morality is what truly harms the most vulnerable: Women and Children. Ironically, these are the very groups Western critics claim to "protect" when they target Islam.

While ofc instances of malpractice or cultural misinterpretation within Muslim communities are unfairly blamed on the faith itself, the secular elite often lack any theological or moral framework to even define their own actions as "evil." when their own leaders and icons exploit the vulnerable, they have no higher law to answer to. They’ve replaced "Right and Wrong" with "Cost and Benefit." They tell us the evil we know doesn't exist and they will protect u, the law will protect u!, yet they preside over systems that facilitate it.

Islam offers an objective moral anchor that transcends the whims of the powerful; the West offers a "justice" system that is ultimately just an extension of the checkbook. We are told we are "backwards," but at least we have a definition for the word "evil" that the wealthy cannot rewrite.

May Allah protect our Ummah! 🤲

Salam everyone,

I have two younger brothers, five and eleven, and lately I’ve been getting increasingly concerned about the kind of content they’re exposed to on YouTube. Sometimes they’ll be watching TV in my room and while nothing is obviously inappropriate, there are certain ideas, jokes, or attitudes that genuinely don’t sit right with me. It’s subtle, but it feels like things kids their age shouldn’t really be absorbing.

What worries me most is how normalized this kind of content has become. A lot of it isn’t explicit, but it promotes certain mindsets, disrespectful humor, or unhealthy views about women, or masculinity. They’re still very young and impressionable, and I don’t want them growing up with distorted views of themselves or others.

My parents aren’t fully aware of how YouTube algorithms work, and my mom doesn’t speak English fluently, so it’s hard for her to recognize when something might be problematic. I try to keep an eye on things when I can, but obviously I can’t monitor everything and I’m very busy with my own life.

As an older sister, I feel a responsibility to help guide them in the right direction, especially from an Islamic perspective. I want them to grow into confident, kind, respectful men with strong values, not shaped by whatever the internet feeds them.

For Muslim parents or older siblings: what practical steps have you taken to protect young boys from harmful online influences? Do you restrict YouTube entirely, supervise it, or focus more on teaching values so they can filter things themselves?

Any advice would be really appreciated.
