Ever since last year, for some reason ive been missing my prayers more and more and I feel so guilty of it. I have been praying but not consistently. For instance, maybe today I'll pray Zuhr and Asr but tomorrow I might pray Asr and Maghrib. Sometimes I dont even pray at all. I have been in a hardship for a year now and I want this to stop. Everytime I want to pray I just purposely forget although I know skipping it would lead to a hardship even harder and it being just simply sinful. How do I start praying again and tighten my iman with Allah?

Asalamu alaykum everybody. This is my very first post ever on Reddit. I have been struggling for a while now with a lot of things that have challenged me and my faith. I have just finished university and it is safe to say that this has been the hardest year of my life. Anxiety is destroying me. I have severe health anxiety. I pray so much to Allah.

I pray tahajjud. I studied 2 years for a medical school exam that I failed twice. My dream was to go to pharmacy school and I was rejected this year. I was rejected from 2 of the masters I applied for. I do not have many friends, if any. It is safe to say that we live in a time where I feel that other Muslim girls tend to give evil eye to one another and can sometimes belittle one another as I have consistently seen around me. I keep to myself but sometimes it gets too much. I never enjoyed university because I had no friends. I am so sick and tired of the endless nights I spend without sleep because of my anxiety.

I am anxious all the time and when it stops, I am lucky for a day or two before I pay attention to my body excessively and it spikes again. I would say my faith is strong alhamdullilah but can definitely be improved. I am jobless and have applied to so many jobs. My last job I applied for I did 3 interview rounds that wrecked me emotionally and physically and I ended up being let go after being trained in. I never felt comfortable in the job and prayed tahajjud that night and subhanallah the next day they rejected me and I went with the mentality and belief that Allah saw something I could not see, so of course alhamdullilah for that blessing.

But it gets too much sometimes. I am sad for no reason sometimes and I can’t help but feel that I am wasting my life away doing nothing. It was really bad last year and I was convinced it was evil eye as in my last job I was getting a lot of compliments and I talked too much which I stopped doing and have noticeably felt I was getting better. The truth is that I need advice with life. Why am I praying so much for something but it is not granted? I will spend years praying for something and that dream will come shattering down on me without reason. I want to be happy and healthy again even if my studies don’t fulfill me or I am not surrounded my friends. I just want my health back ya Allah. Thank you for reading this far.

Hello to everybody in the community!

I’m writing a paper on religious views regarding drug use, including not only illegal substances but also legal ones, whether prescribed by a doctor or available to buy. It also includes cigarettes and nicotine addiction.

The premise is simple: different religions and their views regarding drug use, as well as how religious communities prevent, address and support members dealing with active addiction.

I’ve spoken to some religious leaders but would appreciate hearing from practitioners to gain a broader perspective.

Thank you very much!

Salam everyone,

I'm actually not Muslim, I'm an antizionist Jew, but I have nothing but respect for Islam and Muslims.

I am coming here because I recently got my heart broken by a Muslim man who dated me for three years without introducing me to his parents, and who then dropped me because of them. The Muslim girlies warned me, but I didn't listen.

I'm coming here to literally beg Muslim men to, if you get into a relationship with a non-Muslim girl, PLEASE inform them of their Islamic rights in the relationship RIGHT AWAY and DON'T do haram things and lie and tell us it's halal. Please go about things the right way if you want to be with a girl. Go to your parents. Ask an imam or sheikh.

I know this isn't all Muslim men, not by a long shot, but if you are even considering dating a person of the book and doing haram things while saying it's halal, please take this post to heart. Don't get close if you're doing it in a way that will keep you from staying close.

It hurts you and it hurts us if you treat us this way.

my body is slowly giving up on me. i have been living in survival mode for so long that i don’t remember what peace feels like anymore.

every day feels like i’m just trying to make it through the next hour. i’ve prayed, made dua, tried to stay patient, but i’m exhausted. i feel like i’m carrying years of fear, stress and pain with no real break from it.

the hardest part is that i can feel my faith slipping. i don’t want it to. i still think about Allah constantly, but i’m struggling to understand why this keeps happening. i don’t know how much more of this i can carry.

i don’t want anything extraordinary from life. i just want some relief. i want to feel normal again. right now i feel physically and emotionally worn down, and i’m scared of what all this is doing to me.

Hello everyone. I’m a Muslim woman (ethnically Turkish but born and raised in UK) but I’m not as practicing as I want to be - as an example, I don’t currently know how to properly perform the five daily prayers, although I want to learn and inshaAllah become more consistent over time, I fast during Ramadan (and of course do not consume any alcohol or pork etc.) I try to do the best I can currently, I regularly make dua and read prayers, but overall salah is something I’m still working on learning.

I wanted to pray Tahajjud for a personal reason and because I genuinely want to connect with Allah. My question is, even though I don’t currently pray the five daily prayers, is it still okay for me to pray Tahajjud? Do you think it could still be accepted, or should I wait until I’ve learned and become more consistent with the daily prayers?

I’d appreciate any advice or thoughts, thank you everyone

Can you guys help me with specific prayers or stuff that I can do to dream about her?

So I lost a really loved one, a girl who accepted my flaws as it is, who didn't ever get bored from me opening up and telling her all my flaws and kept me safe and even encouraged me to do better, wether it's with my relationship with God, fighting addictions and even doomscrolling. I really really love her infact I adore her.

I didn't do her justice when she were alive, I thought by refusing any form of love would I be safe, I didn't accept my feelings till she told me her lifespan, now I'm torn if I loved her before that or after it, and it just hurts so much to think that if my feelings were only amplified by it or did I really love her that. I mean I liked talking to her, starting my day I would message her, something funny I would share with her, just talk about life, waiting for her replies, I know all of that screams love but why didn't I think of "I love her", maybe because she was 2 years older, maybe because she was much smarter, maybe because she even had a guy she would always talk about.

The thought that I might have only became her boyfriend for the last days of her life because I couldn't understand my feelings hurts me so much, I rather to believe that I was lying to myself the entire time I knew her before her telling me my span.

I still adore her now I want to be hers in heaven and do her the justice she deserves.

It pains me whenever I go to sleep and I don't dream of her "does she forgive me?", "Did I love her like a partner?", "Why doesn't she want to visit me and ease life on me like she always did?", why am I thinking of her saying 'sorry, love sorry for everything" while she's crying and turning her back and leaving, I don't want that.

Also thoughts like "why can't she visit me is she in hell?"

"Why can't she visit me is she having a hard life in barzakh?" I can't help but overthink everything.

I know that with "hardness comes ease, with hardness comes ease" I want to her to be the ease our time together was short I can't handle it.

I wanted to travel with her, hang out more, go to festivals and ceremonies.

I just want to see her again, talk to her again, I want to know if she will be my wife and partner in heaven since we couldn't even reach the age of marriage together.

I'm going to become old and wrinkle and she will always be as youthful as ever I want her to see me getting older, to guide me again, to tell me "I'm with you it's gonna be okay", to tell me "I'm happy here thanks for everything im waiting for you to put the ring here just like you promised if I had time.".

I literally can't type enough so if you guys have any questions please feel free to ask.

So please can any of you help know how to dream of her, I have been praying for it much, crying while praying for it, it has been 2 months and it just gets harder.
