I work at a place where mostly people are Christians and Atheists. I try to keep myself in the most state of Taqwa as best I can, meaning not backbite about supervisors, do zikr and not do zina of the eyes as being in my job women wear all kind of clothes and my colleagues kind of keep on pointing this out and I keep my eyes down and keep on telling them to behave as they might be someone's sister, mother and daughter but it keeps on striking weird arguments between them and me. Now I do want to make them realize whats the best course, first of not staring at other people's body/outfits, then try doing dawah like telling them that they need to be spending time on better things like reading and indulging in self elevation and they think im either completely old school and come down even harder on me to take me to do clubbing with them or start to ridiculing me which tbh I dont feel any remorse towards. I dont know how to push this back, or ignore and not do dawah anymore or what path to take forward from here. Any help in this regard will be very helpful. Thank you

I argued that while Christianity and Islam are two different religions, Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism are different branches of the same religion. My reasoning is that the three Christian branches share the same core doctrine (trinity, salvation through the cross, etc.) but just differ on practice and rituals whereas Christianity and Islam have fundamentally different core doctrines (Trinity, crucifixion vs Tawhid, Jesus being replaced and sent directly to heaven). Of course my underlying point is that sharing core doctrines is what differentiates a branch of a religion from a religion.

My friend argued that the different Christian branches are all different religions in the same way Christianity and Islam are different religions. He thinks that not only core doctrines, but also practice and rituals are core to the distinction. So Catholicism and Protestantism would be different religions because of papal infallibility vs not, faith plus works vs sola scriptura, etc. But I find this nonsensical though because then my childhood denomination (the United Church of Christ) would fundamentally be a different religion from United Methodists or Presbyterians, which I find ridiculous. Who do you agree with and why?

My father was a Muslim… he wasn’t the greatest man. He died indebted to many people. He abused his children(especially me), and his wife a lot. He struggled with a lot of mental issues and his own abuse as a child. I loved him a lot and pray for him during every prayer. What can I do to help him now that he’s gone? In a couple years I’ll be a doctor InshAllah and all I want to do is give to my parents, the one alive and the one deceased. I cared for him for 6 months before he passed… I feel like that wasn’t enough. My goals atm are to help my mother first, as much as I can and if Allah allows me InshAllah. Also figure out a legitimate way to help my father. It’s been almost 3 years since his passing but I still feel grief and am conflicted.

hi, i don't want to come off as corny but im truly desperate. i have a chronic illness that flared badly in march, this led me to being super religious i truly believed God would heal me i had some slips but in may it really seemed like i was just about better. then it flared again and I've lost all motivation. i pray before i go to bed Allah swt takes me because my physical and mental pain is too much. there is no support for my illness and my parents are starting to grow tired of me i am out of options and just want to be free of this pain. i camt shiwer or wash my hair so i feel my wudhu isnt accepted because im dirty and im too dirty to be infront of God im so lost.

The holiest, wisest, most theologically proficient and God fearing man (peace be upon him) went through all that struggle just to get the simplest most evident and intuitive message across; that only Almighty God is worthy of worship.

Allahu Akbar.

I’ve been struggling nonstop with Islam since about 2 years now and I just can’t seem to bring my heart any relief regarding it.

Not only do I rarely pray, which I realise is quite a big factor affecting my belief, but I just can’t seem to believe completely either. With the rise of atheism online, I find myself so so puzzled with what to believe and what not.

They bring up some logical points in their arguments like:

-Religion was created by man to cope with the fact there is nothing after death

-Religion was created by man because they couldn’t accept the fact women make life and want to control them further

And just other science related points like how heaven and hell cannot be possible and similar arguments.

Please if someone could help me open my eyes and my heart because I want to believe so so bad, I literally yearn for it, to be secure in my faith and have comfort regarding this life and the HereAfter.
