Growing up, I believed people who commit, go to hell for eternity, often heard that it's the only sin that Allah won't forgive. I feel like He knows that people suffer in ways, they cannot rationalize anymore. I know there's nothing worse than hellfire, but for some their life is just too harsh. Do you truly believe that our loving, merciful Allah is so excited to send his own to hell?

I’m agnostic , researched Christianity after learning about the trinity and the in authenticity of the Bible , I was not convinced. I now look to Islam. If Islam is not true I will just say not knowing. As I do my research, I’d appreciate it if some you would give me some reasons on why I should believe the claims of the prophet ( peace be upon him) and the Quran. Thank you

Salam Aleykum brothers and sister
Since childhood, I always thought I would never do something like gambling. I am with my girlfriend for four years, and now it’s time for us to get married. However, due to financial difficulties, I cannot afford 30k, even though I currently work at a good company. I’m not bad with money, don’t get me wrong but it’s really, really hard.
I have been doing some spot trading in crypto, and I never tried futures because I felt it might be haram. Of course, some people say even spot trading is haram, while others say futures can be halal, but I don’t want to start an argument. Still, I sensed something dark about it.
Out of desperation, I tried futures trading. I made some money, and I also lost some. But after a major setback, I prayed to Allah: if what I am doing is wrong, please reduce my account to zero. It is more important for me to have Your permission than to earn haram money.
Minutes later, I lost everything. And you know what? I felt a sense of relief. I lost a month’s salary, but deep inside, I was happy. I still am, although I feel a bit broke. Allah heard my prayers. I hope He will also show me the path to earn that amount in a halal way.
Thanks for reading, I just wanted to share.
Have a lovely and blessed life

Assalam alaykom! Both of my parents are.. incompetents at very low level.
Both of them are not good partners for each other, mom cheating on my dad with different men since I was a child, last time I faced her she pretended as that wasn't her and she doesn't do that and she will do better, she never apologise for anything instead she tries to find anyway to be correct even trying to gaslight me, her own son, so that she wins, at the end she changed her Facebook password and I still see the same Man in her conversations bubble. and dad always doesn't have money and thinks that paying his bills and providing for family are "gifts" not obligated on him, I told him if you can't handle your family why marry and bring us to the world, his reply is "it's my business", I told him about mom's bad habits and he attacked me instead lol, he told me to mind my own business and let her do whatever she wants.
I used to think that بر الوالين is very easy, We were taught from childhood that making our parents proud is the key to gaining Allah's pleasure, but now my biggest struggle is to make them proud and to be honest I don't think they will ever be.
They see me as investment and a way to correct their past mistakes and i will carve the way to richness, of course I want that, I want to repay them for what they did to me, but they made it feel like it's an obligation now more than something I want to do from my heart.
Mom can't keep her mouth shut at all, every little thing happens she goes straight to her sister and tells her everything, she thinks that we are more afraid of her sister and listen to her word more than her.
I don't have enemies in my life, 23 years and I never had someone who wants to sabotage my life, the only obstacle I started seeing these years are my parents.
They main goal is to see me in a foreign country, doing whatever to earn money doesn't matter good or bad, and send them what I earn.
I try to discuss this issue with them, telling them that I want to continue my studies (which i didn't because they wanted me to work) I want to stay in my country and have decent respectable life, I don't want to go to another country.
Suddenly they started having headaches and I am the "shaitan" of the family and a lot of yelling and they don't want to listen anymore.
She keeps pressuring me daily about anything that would get me to go to another country.
Seriously though How am I supposed to gain allah satisfaction if these two are my parents? Like there is must be something in Quran or any hadiith that will help understand my situation better? Because if there is not, I guess i signed my self free ticket to bottom of hell

Hello! I am a book with my friends, and one of my characters is Muslim (Twelver Shia). None of us are Muslim so I'm kinda starting my research for my character from scratch. The character is a female American living in NYC and is of Iranian descent. Some questions I have about Shia Islam (and Islam in general) are:
- Is the Quran only in Arabic? If it is, do non-Arabic speaking Muslims learn Arabic to understand it, or do they just memorize verses and their meaning?
- Do Muslims swear/involk Allah a lot? Do they involk/curse other religious figures (I forgot what they were called, but I think the figures were like the Islamic equivalent of Christianity's 12 Disciples since there were 12 of them)? Ik one Muslim YouTuber I watch says "ya Allah" usually at least once a video, and one Tumblr post I saw Muslims do, but when I googled it a lot of sources say they don't.
- Do hijabs differ between branch, culture, or both? Also, are niqabs and burkas considered hijabs, since they cover the entire body and not just hair, ears, and chest?
- What is halal dating? I've looked at various websites, but I don’t really understand it. Is it just like non-Muslim dating, but with a chaperone? Also, does the chaperone have to be a certain gender, or could it be male or female?
- Is the modestly of clothes determined by the wearer or the religious branch?
- Is the different types of Islam (like Sunni or Shia) called branches, schools, or something else?
- What are the differences between the Shia and Sunni branches? And between Twelver Shia and other Shia?
- Where do most Persian Muslims live in NYC?
- Is there anything the average non-Muslim probably doesn't realize/know about Islam?
This list will prolly get updated the more I write and think of things, but this is all I can thing of rn. Thanks in advance!
