Assalamu alaikum, please share any reciters who resemble this reciter? Unless you actually have recordings of this person. He seems to be a brother who recites Qu’ran in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I understand his tajweed has mistakes but his recitation is very soothing masha’Allah. JazakumAllahu khairun [link] [comments] |

Asalaam Walikum brothers and sisters, I am currently making up days of fasting before Ramadan and I’ve hit a little snag, which I hit every year and I still haven’t found an answer. I woke up for suhoor this morning, used the restroom, and saw a discoloration. When I checked my cycle tracking app, I saw that I was set to start my period in two days. I tend to spot 2-3 days before my period really begins, but there will be times where I will spot and then my cycle doesn’t start for several more days, so much so that my app has to ask me if I’ve started yet. Here’s my question:
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. This is the one part of Ramadan that gives me so much anxiety every single year. Please only respond here, so other sisters can benefit from the answers. [link] [comments] |
So, report cards came, I got mine and my dad asked about it, I told him I didn't get it yet even though I have it, but I don't wanna tell him because I don't wanna get into problems and leave it for the next day. And I wanna think of an excuse so that's another reason.
Assalamu Alaikum everyone 🤲
With Ramadan just around the corner, I've been reflecting on how different the experience must be for those who are relatively new to Islam.
For those of you who reverted in the past year or two — how are you feeling about the upcoming Ramadan?
Are you excited? Nervous? A bit of both?
And for those who've been through it — what's one piece of advice you wish someone had told you before your first Ramadan?
JazakAllah Khair 🌙
Assalamu 3alaikom.
My mom is visiting me (we live in different continents), and she is not as religious as I am. She drinks alcohol, and I am completely against it for obvious reasons. We are both Arab btw.
Some background:
We’ve had many fights about this topic because when I try to tell her not to drink all the time, etc. and even from a non-Islamic perspective (just so she can hear me out) she gets very angry with me. She is not like an alcoholic or anything but she likes to put a drink for herself whenever we’re at home chilling, etc. Islam is a topic that is very sensitive for me to speak about with her, and alcohol is the same for her. She thinks I am an “extremist” ever since i put the hijab on because my family is basically what you would call “secular Muslims”. We’ve had plenty of arguments and it strained out relationship at times but al7amdulillah we are closer than ever now.
Now that she’s visiting me, I want to pay for every single thing she buys/has at a restaurant. She raised me as a single mom and I have no siblings so it was just me and her. It was very tough for her while I was growing up since she and my father divorced when I was a toddler. She worked very very hard, and worked her way up the corporate ladder, and she made me feel very financially comfortable al7amdulillah and paid for everything. Even until now, she always tries to ask if I need money etc. So, not only because she’s my mother, but also because of all her struggles and generosity towards me, I want to pay for everything when she comes to visit me. Normally, she would pay for my things when she visits me when we go to a store together or a restaurant together, etc. but now I am financially ready and want to pay for everything she buys, and even in restaurants, etc.
My issue is when we go to a restaurant she likes to order an alcoholic drink. At the end of the day, she is my mother, so it is not like I can’t go out to eat with her. So, if I want to pay for the whole meal, but not for the alcohol, how do I do that? And how do I tell her? I get really sensitive talking to her about this because I get defensive when she calls me extremist etc. and I feel very misunderstood. I believe it is haram to pay for someone else’s alcoholic drink although I don’t know the exact hadeeth etc. There’s a restaurant I wanted to take her to that serves halal meat for me to have, but I believe they have drinks. How do I go about that?
I know some would say the solution is to not go to restaurants that serve alcohol but my mom says that that is how she enjoys and that’s her preference and that if we choose a restaurant that has halal meat for me we should also choose restaurants that have drinks for her, and that way we’re both accommodated for. This happened when I visited her a few months back. We would go to restaurants that served halal meat and alcohol. I know it sounds really strange and most Muslims might not understand but like I said at the end of the day she is my mother, she’s not just a random friend that I am choosing to go out with and sit on the table that has alcohol.
Should I just not go to restaurants that serve alcohol? She’s had that conversation with me before and said how some of her friends don’t go out when there’s alcohol and how it’s so silly and she judged them. I am trying to protect myself from her judgement and also harsh words as I am sensitive when it comes to this topic with her. I know I can’t escape judgement around this topic from her because we have opposing views and she judges anyway, and I’m okay with that to a certain extend, but I’m trying to save myself the defensiveness and feeling hurt.
I need advice. Anything helps. And I’m open to constructive criticism, so please share thoughts!
