Salam.. hope yall are doing well..

I finally prayed maghrib and isha today after 2-3months.I know its bare minimum. I had been dealing with self harm, purging and hypersexual stuff. My cuttings became deeper..and more consistent and had to promis on the Quran that i had not harmed myself for my mom which was a lie..i felt awful about doing it and she was throwing tantrums thinking i had cut myself which i did.

Missed 7-8 jumuah prayers. It has been a lot lately. I cried today after finally being able to pray in a long time. I need to keep this streak please.. i dont want to fall back into this cycle where i lose it all again. During this time..i had confusion on my belief and i pray to Allah he forgives me for that. In those 2-3 months i was able fulfill some jumuah prayers..but then those went down the drain too.. that really made me feel guilty.

This had happened half a year back too where i was doing particularly well in faith and suddenly had a drop...i dont want this to happen again...ya rabb..I dont want to go back..pleasee..

Idk if all of this is ignorance or done purposefully..ikno the stuff ive done are sins. Can someone please guide me on not to fall back again. Is this all just because of lack of taqwa and iman..

ps: sorry if my words dont explain much its pretty much a vent

الله يحفظكم و يجزيكم خير الجزاء

Salaam everyone,
This has been on my mind a lot lately. I'm in college, and I keep worrying that I won't be financially stable in the future, enough to really support a wife and kids.
I understand why stability matters to a lot of sisters and their families, and it’s a fair thing to want. I want to provide for my future family and I take that seriously. That's why it scares me.

My real fear is that if I'm not where I need to be financially, it'll hurt my chances of finding a spouse at all. I don't want to be the guy who gets turned down, or who has to keep pushing marriage back because he isn't "ready" yet.

I've been trying to trust Allah and His decree. I know rizq is written and that He provides. But even with that, I still get scared that I’m behind or not meant to have a family. It's hard to stop the worry, and sometimes I feel guilty for being anxious when I'm supposed to have tawakkul. Has anyone else felt this way? How did you deal with it?
JazakAllah khair.

Imo a big reason Muslims have been falling behind is that we are incapable of thinking independently or asserting our own religious or cultural agency. Instead, we constantly grovel at the feet of foreigners and view external validation as the goal.

Both liberals and conservatives share this inferiority complex, but it manifests differently.

Firstly, you have secular "progressive" Muslims who clamor for Western validation over religious integrity. They'll either abandon and stigmatise their religious heritage entirely, or water it down to force it into the acceptable mold of Western liberalism. Both refuse to accept that Islam (a 1400-year-old religion) will never fully line up with modern 20th-21st Century Western thought, and instead view those inherent differences as "flaws" or "backwardness" that should be "corrected" or thrown out.

On the other camp, Hardline Conservatives will often mock their own native cultures as "unIslamic" of "Bidah", seeking to imitate Arab (specifically Gulf Arab) customs and aesthetics as more "authentically Islamic". Setting aside the blatant cultural and linguistic imperialism, they often (intentionally or not) present Islam as an exclusively "Arab" religion that doesn't accept cultural diversity, which flies in the face of Islam's own teachings.

Either way, we lack the spine to fully own our religio-cultural heritage, while also failing to assert our unique identity the face of foreign (Arab or Western) pressure.

If we are perpetually bound by the need for validation from outsiders and cannot think for ourselves, how can we truly develop and mature culturally or intellectually?

Surah Yunus (10:12)

10:12

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ أَوْ قَاعِدًا أَوْ قَآئِمًا فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ
ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمْ يَدْعُنَآ إِلَىٰ ضُرٍّ مَّسَّهُۥ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٢
Whenever someone is touched by hardship, they cry out to Us, whether lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We relieve their hardship, they return to their old ways as if they had never cried to Us to remove any hardship! This is how the misdeeds of the transgressors have been made appealing to them.

May Allah make us one of those who remember Allah in good times as much we remember Him in difficult times. Amiin.
