I was born in a Muslim household and am familiar with all the core tenets of Islam. However as of late, I am fed up of the same knowledge being regurgitated over and over again by Dawah youtubers and reddit.
I want to know some deep, profound knowledge about Islam that'll move me, It has been ages since I've been taken aback by something Islamic that I've read.
Please provide me resources to find such Islamic knowledge.
Even tho I was born a Muslim, When I was younger like 6 to 8 of age. , I thought the prophets were made up and I really didn’t realize Christianity had the same exact prophets as us … like for example prophet Dawud A.S when I heard about him
Slaying a Giant with a sling shot , my young mind was saying ain’t no way there were giants on this earth n he could’ve been crushed by that giant.. and I also didn’t really believe that musa split that sea or one thing what was surprised me that also when i was young that Isa A.S was our prophet in Islam , I used make fun of Jesus when I was young for not reason towards the Christians.. now I don’t at all knowing that he’s a prophet of Allah and will return back to kill the anti christ…
As I grew up older and read the Quran and listen to Islamic lectures than I believed it all , yes I’m not a
Perfect Muslim and I’m a sinner so I really didn’t much understand the Hadith’s and stories that were told at the mosques …
Even tho I’m in my
20s I’m still learning more , since I used to be astray due to my desires of this dunya …
Death is closer than we think , may Allah have mercy on my soul and bring me closer to him and for all the ummah of prophet Muhammad
( May peace be upon him)
Salaam everyone. I’m a Muslim man who recently ended a relationship and I’m looking for honest feedback, not validation.
We were together for about a year and a half. We’re both living in the West (Canada), and when we met we were both practicing. I developed genuine love for her and had serious intentions for marriage. I now know the first step should’ve been to approach things a halal way, but I didn’t, and here we are.
Around a year in, she opened up about struggling with her faith and with hijab. As soon as that came up, I put the relationship on hold for two reasons:
To allow space for clear, sincere thinking without emotional pressure
Because our attachment was strong, and I felt that if things didn’t work out, some distance would make the situation easier for both of us
During that time, we had a long and serious conversation about Islam and hijab where I tried to address her doubts using scholarly evidence. I also strongly encouraged her to speak to a qualified scholar (and even offered to help arrange that), because I didn’t want to be her only source.
The pause lasted a couple of months. I made a lot of duaa during that time.
After that period, she told me she doesn’t see a future where she can commit to hijab consistently. At that point, we both agreed it was better to end things. We felt continuing toward marriage with that level of uncertainty could lead to bigger issues later, including potential harm to the marriage and future children.
Just to clarify, for me hijab is something I need in a spouse based on religious conviction, not preference, and that was something I had made clear early on. She wasn’t able to say she was there, and I respect her honesty.
We both loved each other deeply, and this was the only major compatibility issue between us, but I realize it’s a fundamental one.
My questions:
Aside from the fact that the relationship itself was haram, what did I do wrong? Was putting things on hold when doubts came up the right move, or could it have pushed her further away?
She lost someone she loved deeply over faith/hijab. I worry that could push her further away from Islam rather than toward it. Is that a valid concern, and is there anything I should have done differently?
Advice on pursuing marriage the right way going forward?
Is it appropriate to make duaa that she finds her way back to Allah, and if so, that we find our way back to each other?
Any advice on coping with and processing this situation?
JazakAllahu khayran.
So I recently got my grade for my first exam back, I prayed sooo much to pass this exam AND DID and I’m so happy alhamdulillah I rabbilallameen. I was talking w my friend n she mentioned she’s trying to be more grateful and turn to Allah when things go well, she mentioned doing 2 rakahs when something good happens in her life. I found that to be such a good idea and did more research, turns out it’s called salatul shukr, however I follow the Maliki madhab and I saw online that it was more recommended to do Sadat al shukr? Which one do ugs do? Does it matter?
Jazakallah khairrrrrr❤️❤️❤️🙌🏿
Salaam everyone,
I am going for Hajj Insha'Allah and would love to hear the experiences of those of you that have gone as well as any tips that you'd give someone who will be going for the first time.
I am quite anxious about it all but am trying to be as informed as possible.
Jazakhallah in advance!
