May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all!

We have reached the eighth day of Ramadan!

The 8th juz of the Qur'an consists of the following verses:

Chapter 6: Al-'An`ām - The Cattle - Verses 111-165

Chapter 7: Al-'A`rāf - The Heights - Verses 1-87

The first part of this juz', Surah Al-An'am, was revealed in Makkah prior to the migration to Madinah. After discussion of earlier revelations and relationships with People of the Book, the argument turns to paganism, and the pagans' rejection of the Unity of Allah.

Summary

Surah Al-An'am continues with a reminder that believers should avoid people who are stubborn and rebellious. They may seem successful in some areas of this life, but they will receive their due punishment from Allah on the Day of Judgment. Even if they were to see the most incredible of miracles, they would not be convinced of the Truth.

Allah has sent a series of Messengers with the Truth. He promises that He would not destroy a people without first giving them a chance to believe, a warning brought by a Messenger (6:131). Throughout the Quran, and here, warnings are addressed specifically to pagans. They ascribe "partners" with Allah and create traditions and rituals with no basis in faith: "...forging lies against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and heeded no guidance" (6:140). There is also a specific warning against those who "break up their religion into sects" (6:159).

Despite all the pessimism and superstitions of the unbelievers, Allah's decrees will come to pass. Muslims are advised to always follow the Straight Way of Allah with full dedication.

Continuing this theme in Surah A'raf, the reader is reminded of previous generations of prophets who faced the same difficulties as the Prophet Muhammad and his followers. The stories of several prophets are told: Adam, Noah, Hud, Saleh, Lot, and Shu'aib, may peace be upon them all. They were all initially resisted and rejected, but in the end the truth prevailed. We would be wise to learn from the past.

So I’ll be honest, until recently I wasn’t praying all 5, but alhamdulillah I am now. As a Hanafi (my family is hanafi), I also recently started praying witr since it is wajib. I was under the impression that only wajib was necessary, and the one to leave out wajib acts is sinful. However, I recently learned that sunnah muakkadah acts are also “required,” otherwise the person is sinful.

I know we should try to emulate the Prophet SAWS as much as possible, but it’s a lot for me to pray all the sunnah muakkadah prayers along with the fardh and wajib. I’m not really sure what to do. If I change my madhab it feels like I’m just following my desires, which truthfully it would be. At the same time, I’m burnt out from having to do all these prayers.

I know you’ll say that I should work up to completing them all, but it’s kind of a burden on me right now. I’m at the point where I don’t care if I’m sinning for not praying the sunnah muakkadah prayers. That’s not right of me, but it’s how I feel. No one in my family prays except me, and when I told them about this position they accused me of extremism, so I can’t really turn to my family.

Any help?

Hello everyone, just a short intro on me. I suffer from a mental illness, although I don't really think I have it anymore. I believe it got treated by The Holy Quran.

But what I've realized is that when I listen to music it feels like my paranoia is coming back (I suffer from delusions and insomnia), if you're interested you can research about it. I've learned from my own experience that music harms me, I never believed the scholars. I'm just thinking I shouldn't have been so naive with the internet. There's so much misinformation out there, and it's getting harder to find whats really good for you and what isn't.

On another note, I have decided that I'm going to change! I've started actively listening to the Quran again and want to become a Qari! I really want to change. Let's change together, me and you, from today!

If you had a tattoo before you converted, you do NOT have to get it removed; you can if you want to, but if the process hurts or could cause damage or harm, it is recommended not to.

Second, once you have converted, all the bad deeds you done before converting are forgiven and you pretty much have a clean sheet.

It is Ramadan right now, and so if you're are fasting and you eat or drink something forgetting you were fasting, whether it is a little or a lot, because you have forgotten, it is okay and your fast still counts, even if you had an entire meal or a single chip. Because the Prophet (PBUH) said “Whoever forgets when he is fasting and eats or drinks, let him complete his fast, for it is Allaah Who has fed him and given him to drink.”

Also, there a 5 prayers a day, in these orders, and also what you have to pray for each prayer and in which order you have to pray them :

Fajr: 2 rakat sunnah, 2 rakat faraz

Zuhr: 4 rakat sunnah, 4 rakat faraz, 2 rakat sunnah, 2 rakat nafal

Asr: 4 rakat sunnah, 4 rakat faraz

Maghrib: 3 rakat faraz, 2 rakat sunnah, 2 rakat nafal

Isha: 4 rakat sunnah, 4 rakat faraz, 2 rakat sunnah, 2 rakat nafal, 3 rakat witr, 2 rakat nafal

Faraz: This is compulsory and you must read this bit

Sunnah: This is compulsory you should read this bit unless you have a valid excuse.

Nafal: This bit is optional, you can read it if you want to, or for extra reward.

I hope this helped you guys :)

Also if you are a convert and you have questions, you should head over to the IslamQA website. You can also ask me if you would like but I may not be able to answer all your questions :).

This is an amazing work by a senior scholar of the Deen here in the West, Dr Hatem al-Haj. The book is now available on Amazon. Who’s read it, thoughts?

Summary: The apophatic god of negative theology is the areligious philosophers’ preferred god; a god which is remote, detached, and can hardly be an object of adoration or worship, even though it may be an object of wonderment. This is not God according to the Prophets. However, the depiction of God in the theistic traditions has been always charged with anthropomorphism. In this book, I attempt to respond to this charge and explain what Athari (scripturalist) Muslim theologians believe about the Divine attributes and why.

Thank you for everyone who helped me, I’ve been learning a little since I was 15 but always has doubts and now at 19 I want to make the next step.

One issue is that I am heavily tattooed and I was very young and stupid when I got a couple of bad ones. I have went to appointments for a certain tattoo that was done bad and got laser (3 times already) but I was going to come back for more appointments until this quarantine issue happened. I do want to get it lightened and then cover it up with something else and finish my other half way done tattoos because they weren’t fully finished. Should I complete this before I revert? I know I shouldn’t of gotten any done but it already happened and my tattoos are either in the process of being finished or that one big tattoo is being lasered already. I know tattoos are haram but I already have them so should I put my reverting on hold because I don’t want to upset god by getting tattoos while I’m in this process :)

Salem aleykoum,

Some months ago, I asked in this community to pray for me so that I succeed an important exam that it was near impossible for me to get the grade I wanted. By talking with my professor, al Hamdullilah, I've gotten the grade.

I hope you don't mind me asking again to please do a duaa for me. I've applied for some university programs and resultats are soon to be given. I ask you to pray that I get admitted.

JazakumAllah khairan

Assalamu Alaikum everybody who is reading this, hope you are having a good Ramadan and that it is going well for you all. I am 19-year-old male self-prescribed incel (involuntary celibate) in short it means I believe I am not able to achieve a relationship with a woman due to the fact I am too physically unattractive. Due to this, I have no plan of getting married nor having children, is this considered haram?

May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all!

We have reached the seventh day of Ramadan!

The 7th juz of the Qur'an consists of the following verses:

Chapter 5: Al-Mā'idah - The Table Spread - Verses 82-120

Chapter 6: Al-'An`ām - The Cattle - Verses 1-110

As with the previous juz', the verses of Surah Al-Ma'idah were largely revealed in the early years after the Muslims migrated to Madinah, when the Prophet Muhammad strived to create unity and peace among a diverse collection of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian city-dwellers and nomadic tribes of various ethnicities.

The latter part of this juz', in Surah Al-An'am, were actually revealed in Makkah prior to the migration to Madinah. Although these verses pre-date the ones before it, the logical argument flows. After discussion of earlier revelations and relationships with People of the Book, the arguments now turn to paganism, and the pagans' rejection of the Unity of Allah.

Summary

The continuation of Surah Al-Ma'ida follows in the same vein as the first part of the surah, detailing issues of dietary law, marriage, and criminal punishments. Further, Muslims are advised to avoid breaking oaths, intoxicants, gambling, sorcery, superstitions, breaking oaths, and hunting in the Sacred Precincts (Makkah) or during pilgrimage. Muslims should write their wills, witnessed by honest people. Believers should also avoid going to excess, making lawful things out to be unlawful. Believers are instructed to obey Allah, and obey the Messenger of Allah.

The beginning of Sura Al-An'am picks up the topic of Allah's creation, and the many signs which are present for those who are open-minded to the evidence of Allah's handiwork. Many previous generations rejected the truth brought by their prophets, despite the evidence of truth in Allah's creation. Abraham was a prophet who tried to teach those who worshipped false gods. A series of prophets after Abraham continued to teach this truth. Those who reject faith wrong their own souls, and will be punished for their blasphemy. Unbelievers say that the believers listen to "nothing but tales of the ancients" (6:25). They ask for proofs and continue to reject that there is even a Judgment Day. When the Hour is upon them, they will call out for a second chance, but it will not be granted.

Abraham and the other prophets gave "reminders to the nations," calling upon people to have faith and leave false idols. Over eighteen prophets are listed by name in verses 6:83-87. Some chose to believe, and others rejected. The Quran was revealed to bring blessings and to "confirm the revelations that came before it" (6:92). The false gods that pagans worship will be of no use to them in the end. The juz' continues with reminders of Allah's bounty in nature: the sun, moon, stars, rain, vegetation, fruits, etc. Even animals (6:38) and plants (6:59) follow the laws of nature that Allah has written for them, so who are we to be arrogant and reject faith in Allah?

As hard as it is, believers are asked to bear the rejection of unbelievers with patience and not take it personally (6:33-34). Muslims are advised not to sit with those who ridicule and question faith, but just to turn away and give advice. In the end, each person is responsible for his or her own conduct, and they will face Allah for judgment. It is not for us to "watch over their doings," nor are we "set over them to dispose of their affairs" (6:107). In fact, Muslims are advised not to ridicule or hate the false gods of other faiths, "lest they out of spite, revile Allah in their ignorance" (6:108). Rather, believers should leave them be, and trust that Allah will ensure fair judgment for all.

Reminder

If you have any medical condition that requires any medication, you must get clearance from your medical doctor that oversees your health, in regards to your condition, for fasting.

Do NOT ask for or take any medical advice from anyone online, whether it's here at /r/Islam or anywhere else.

In conjunction, do NOT give medical advice to people, even if you have similar conditions or medications.

Recently someone i know got engaged to a pious girl who wears hijab and Abaya, the problem is this man has a very bad history and isn't pious. This individual has done hardcore drugs like heroin and was addicted to it, drank alcohol, has committed Zina multiple times and has bragged about it. This girls family agreed to the marriage after asking about him for a week, they're refugees.

I know it is none of my business and this marriage doesn't concern me and i won't do or say anything, but i feel bad for this girl and her family. I know it's not my fault, but i feel guilty. i feel like if this was my daughter or my sister and somebody knew such things and didn't tell me i'd be angry. This just doesn't sound okay or fair to me, how can someone spend their life being religious and get married to someone like him?

As-Salam-u-Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak! To give myself a little backstory, my dad was raised Hindu (he's Indian), my mother was raised christian (she's American), which resulted in me basically being raised as an atheist.

Over time, with no guidance from my parents and living in a highly Christian area, I decided to try out Christianity but I could never seem to stick to it no matter the amount of resources I've had. I decided to break away from the "social norm" and try out Buddhism which I didn't enjoy due to the lack of community HOWEVER I must say, that was the most mentally healthy I have ever been. I decided to try out Hinduism to hopefully relate to half of my families culture but I could never wrap my head around the idea of polytheism.

About 8 months ago, I came to college and happened across a beautiful girl whom I'm now dating. She's Bangladeshi and Muslim (yes I know we're not supposed to date) but it would be very nice to have someone help me with conversion. I have been slowly reading the Quran for a couple weeks now and I was wondering if there are any possible support groups or people that I could go to with questions.

Any help is appreciated!

Asalamualaqum all and Ramadan Mubarak, I had a question I was watching this YouTube video of a Muslim Youtuber doing ramadan and an ad popped out of nowhere of a couple kissing and I looked straight away I said Astaghfirallah.

I know this is accidental cause it’s unexpected for something to pop up like that straight away but does this invalidate my fast? Even for example I’m listening to some quran recitation on YouTube or a Islamic motivation video and an ad pops up of a girl not clothed properly does this also invalidate the fast?

Salam brothers and sisters! Hope you are all doing well and this Ramadan is blessed for you and your family. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support, kindness and prayers for my cat.

Today an hour before Maghreb I was walking around praying and I saw 2 cats. I decided to give them some treats as I was carrying them around looking for Tiny. As I approached them I heard hysterical meowing from above and there she was, without a doubt my Tiny, sitting on a tree top. Least to say I became the most skilled tree climber, scratched my entire body and grabbed her.

She is home now and safe, will take her to vet soon for a checkup. I just wanted to let you all know that this is truly a miracle because I live behind a giant forest and I never intended to walk that way, somehow I just did.

Allah is great and his miracles are plenty if we open our eyes and our hearts. I can’t believe it. I will definitely pray as hard, even harder, if anything this has reinforced my belief and I have all of you to thank for that as well.

I will remember you in my prayers. Thank you and may Allah bless you all. Ramadan Mubarak.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is oppressed.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, we help the oppressed, but how do we help an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By seizing his hand.”

In another narration, the Prophet said, “By restraining him or preventing him from committing injustice, for that is how you support him.”

I heard it's just like a normal prayer like fajr. So no special invocations.

That's what this youtube channel teaches me.

​

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ2QHoVzoj8

​

I just need conformation I am unsure. It's basically same as fajr prayer right, but prayer after isha and before fajr. Some say after 2/3 of the time between isha and fajr, so close to fajr prayer.

​

Is Witr the same and also like fajr or do you say special invocations different from other prayers.

Witr is more confusing to me . it's prayed after Tahajjud if I'm right?

Hi everyone, I tried posting this in r/hijab, but it wasn’t working and thought that any brothers and sisters would want to help me. So I recently found out that I’m allergic to many different types of metal, especially the ones found in hijab safety pins. I require a safety pin that is non-metal, made of any other material/element/whatever they are all called, I don’t mind. If anyone has any ideas, I’d be very grateful. Thank you and Ramadan Kareem!

Dear fellow Muslims,

​

I want to share my story in this whole month of Ramadan and hopefully help those that are in the same situation I was just few months back.

I got married to a Muslim man 10 years ago, whom I met through University. I fell in love with him and we had a 4-month relationship. We got married. We had 2 beautiful children. This sounds like a fairytale but is far from the truth.

My husband was an emotional and physical abuser. Every time he reminded me that I was not allowed to speak to others about the abuse, as he would tell everyone I am not a good girl (for having a relationship with him before marriage). I was young and kept all the abuse hidden. I covered my bruises and my emotional suicidal thoughts. I misunderstood Allah path for me and I was stupid for going away from Allah because of the pain I suffered instead of leaning more on his mercy.

There was something invisible withholding me from within to pray. I always thought "Why me? What did I do? " But I had to believe in Allah. I am not sure if this is my path because I intervened with His plans for my marriage by having this relationship. Only Allah knows.

After 10 years I finally found the strength to tell my parents and they took me back in with open arms. I am thankful for them and can't express how thankful I am to Allah for such parents. There are many parents that unfortunately can't or are not willing due to shame to take back their daughter with two children. It is now that I realise how much Allah has blessed me with. I have never spend a day without food alhamdullah, never a day without a roof, never a day in the hospital for being sick or having sick children. After telling my parents, I have never had to endure one more swear or physical pain from my ex by being in their house sound and safe.

I am very thankful that Allah has blessed me with my children. I am hoping Allah will forgive me for not praying and not believing in His destiny for me. I was wrong and I hope that from now on I can be the closest to Allah than ever before. I will try to pray everyday to Allah and make clear that I regret my past and look forward to a clean future. I am thankful that Allah has not tested me with the health or death of my children but with an abusive husband. Inshallah, Ya Rab, He will never test me with my children and I am praying to Him that he will forgive me for not passing his test during the abuse but I am looking forward to teach my children about the beauty of Islam and improve my own understanding of Islam as well.

​

I am still in the divorce period and I don't know what my exhusband will do regarding shaming me and exposing my relationship with him prior to marriage. I don't know if he will abuse me in giving my children to him. I am so unsure about the future but I trust everything in Allah and I ask you kind Muslims to keep me in your prayers.

Hi guys,

Let me start by saying I’m not a superstitious person at all. I am a muslim so obviously I believe in certain ‘supernatural’ things, but never took it really seriously when it comes to the creepy stuff.

I’ve been having these problems since last summer. I was in Turkey on holiday in the Med region (I live in Turkey too) and while swimming in the sea a piece of paper was floating in the middle of the sea near the beach. It basically just came straight at me and I grabbed it. When I looked at it, it looked like a very creative piece of art with a demonic like figure in the middle and all kinds of Arabic looking text around it. The figure had horns, and its feet looked like horse feet, etc. A little cheesy if you ask me.

I looked at it, and then just threw it away and didn’t think much of it. But since then I’ve been seeing that same piece of paper in my dreams, constantly finding it somewhere. At the beginning I found it funny and thought I was just affected by it, so I kept seeing it. The dreams started as follows:

I kept waking up in my bed and when I got out I could see myself sleeping (out of body experience). I then started walking around my house and every time I found the same piece of paper somewhere. Sometimes it’s on the dinner table. Sometimes on my desk. Sometimes in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s just hanging on the wall, etc. And every time something I don’t see starts pushing me back to my room and onto my bed into my body (that’s just laying there asleep) and then I wake up. But I don’t feel any fear while this is happening. Then I go back to sleep and things are fine.

But now during the ramadan month things are changing a bit. I can’t fast. I feel extreme hunger, thirst, headaches and the dreams got a bit worse. Instead of just waking up in my dream I’m being violently woken up by some kind of shaking and slaps on my face. I then get up. When I get up I see all these women with their heads covered in the mirror of my closet watching me and pointing at the door, urging me to leave my room. It always feels like they are worried about me and are really urging me to leave my room asap. When I leave my room the door closes behind me and I just wander around the house. When I look outside from my living room window I see the trees ‘praying’. They bow down like in Islamic prayer towards Mecca (I know the direction of where Mecca is as people always ask me when they want to pray in my house). When I try to go back to my room I hear things moving and breaking, but the door seems to be locked. After a while the door opens and something again pushes me back into my body and I just wake up and go back to sleep.

Last night I chose to not listen to the ‘ladies in the mirror’ and stayed in my room. The ladies whose faces I can’t see kept urging me to leave by pointing at the door more and more aggressively. But I didn’t listen. Eventually the door closed like it always does, but this time I was in my room. Then smoke started coming out of the mirror and covered only above the waist, so I can see the floor and one meter up, but from there it’s all just fog/smoke. Suddenly I see these legs, which are green or blue and look like horse legs. It was just running around in circles and it really sounded like a horse running. It had two legs with huge muscles and just ran in circles. I also seemed to be extreme tall. I remember thinking how this creature was able to fit in my room considering its head must be hitting the ceiling.

I then saw one of the ladies in the mirror basically peaking from below where there was no fog at me and it seemed like she was pleading with me to keep quiet and keep a low profile. Like they try to tell me something. The other ladies in the mirror also seemed to be praying while only one of them was looking at me and made gestures, as if she was begging me to do something.

The horse legged creature just kept running and running and eventually jumped into the mirror and took all the fog with it into the mirror. At the same time the mirror broke and I woke up on the ground. When I woke up the mirror was intact. It was just that I had fallen off the bed.

I have a Quran hanging on my wall but it’s turned upside down since my dream from last night. I also found a very bed smelling liquid that’s in circle shape around my bed and I cleaned it up but the smell is still there. It smells like urine.

I have called my parents about it, but my mom tells me it’s just a bad dream and my dad just tells me to man up basically and stop being scared of stupid dreams. I called an imam I know and he says I should stop overdramatising what I see and says that it could be djinn, but they never appear like that to anyone or something and refused to help me because of quarantine and stuff. Also, he said a djinn could never ever ever touch my Quran and turn it upside down. But that Quran has been these since the last two years, and I know for a fact I didn't put it there upside down and never touched it. I have another Quran which I use for reading, so the one on the wall is just for decoration/protection purposes.

I don’t know what to do. I’m scared to sleep now. I’m also really tired of it. Every night I walk around my house seeing things in my dreams and I’m just tired of it. When these things are happening I just wait until it’s over but that horse like creature just kept running and running for so long. I feel like I’ve never even slept while I wake up in the afternoon mostly and sleep pretty early. I feel extreme hunger since the ramadan started, or thirst. So I can’t fast because it gets too bad and my mouth and throat get so dry it feels like I'm going to choke.

My neighbour is also complaining about noise at night around 2am, but I keep saying I was sleeping around that time so it can’t be from me. I’m starting to lose my mind a bit. I can’t remember any dua's anymore. When I try to pray I start mumbling and can’t pronounce the words (also in my head). I can’t read the Arabic alphabet properly anymore and keep getting confused. I have a massive headache and my muscles are aching as well.

What should I do? Has anyone experienced this before and if so, why would a random piece of paper in the sea do this to me? And who would write such a piece of paper and toss it into the sea? My girlfriend won’t come over to my place since I told her these things and she says she was also scared when staying at my place, but doesn’t really know why.

I’m going to stay with my parents tonight and see what happens. But if anyone knows something, please tell me.

Kinda embarrassing to have this in my post history, but I don't care anymore.

69. Reciting Tasbeeh, (Subhanballah), Tahmeed (Alhamdolillah) and Takbeer Allahu Akbar), and enjoining what is Good and forbidding what is evil, and praying Salaatul Duha (Breakfast prayer)

It was narrated from Abu Dharr (Ra) that the Prophet (Sallallahu AlaihiWasallam) said: “For every bone of the son of Adam a charity must be given each day. Every Tasbeehah (saying Subhaan Allah -Glory be to Allah) is a charity, every Tahmeedah (saying Al-hamdu Lillaah -praise be to Allah) is a charity, every tahleelah (saying Laailaaha ill-Allah -There is no god but Allah) is a charity, every takbeerah (saying Allaahu akbar -Allah is Most Great) is a charity, enjoining what is good is a charity, forbidding what is evil is a charity, and two Rak’ahs (Nawafil) offered in the mid-morning (Duha) is sufficient.” [Muslim, 720]

Even more easy good deeds you can do:

May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all!

We have reached the sixth day of Ramadan!

The 6th juz of the Qur'an consists of the following verses:

Chapter 4: An-Nisā' - The Women - Verses 148-176

Chapter 5: Al-Mā'idah - The Table Spread - Verses 1-81

The verses of this section were largely revealed in the early years after the migration to Madinah, when the Prophet Muhammad strove to create unity and peace among a diverse collection of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian city-dwellers and nomadic tribes of various ethnicities. The Muslims made alliances and signed treaties with various groups, establishing everyone's political and religious rights, freedoms, and obligations to the state.

While these treaties were largely successful, conflict did sometimes erupt - not for religious reasons, but due to the breach of certain agreements leading to aggression or injustice.

Summary

The final section of Surah An-Nisā' returns to the theme of the relationship between Muslims and the "People of the Book" (i.e. Christians and Jews). The Quran warns Muslims not to follow in the footsteps of those who divided their faith, added things to it, and went astray from the teachings of their prophets.

Much of Surah An-Nisā' was revealed shortly after the Muslims' defeat at the Battle of Uhud. The very last verse of this chapter outlines the rules for inheritance, which was immediately relevant to the widows and orphans from that battle.

The next chapter, Surah Al-Ma'ida, opens with a discussion of dietary laws, pilgrimage, marriage, and criminal punishment for certain crimes. These provide a spiritual framework for laws and practices that were enacted during the early years of the Islamic community in Madinah.

The chapter then continues to discuss the lessons to be learned from previous prophets, and invites the People of the Book to evaluate the message of Islam. Allah warns believers about mistakes that others made in the past, such as discarding part of a book of revelation, or making religious claims without knowledge. Detail is given about the life and teachings of Moses as an example.

Support and advice is offered for the Muslims who faced ridicule (and worse) from neighboring Jewish and Christian tribes. The Quran answers them: "Oh people of the Book! Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us and that which came before (us), and (perhaps) that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?" (5:59). This section further warns Muslims not to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone astray.

Amongst all of these warnings is a reminder that some Christian and Jewish people are good believers, and have not strayed from the teachings of their prophets. "If only they had stood fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course; but many of them follow a course that is evil" (5:66). Muslims are expected to approach agreements in good faith, and uphold their end. It is not for us to pre-judge people's hearts or intentions.

An example is Ad Duha.

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has >He detested [you] and the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life]

This Surah is directed towards the Prophet (PBUH). But can we as Muslims take it as directed towards us?

I hope my question makes sense

My mother was raised as a hardcore Christian. Ever since I was able to remember, my mom has always been trying to shed those beliefs and find her true religion. I have always been interested in different religions and did some research on Islam, but did so when I was too young to really understand it so I don't really remember much. Most of my knowledge comes from casual research and one day on it in my international religions class. Now we live in a very free household however we have always been raised as Christians by my mother (I must emphasize it was a very loose nondenominational you gotta think way). Imagine my surprise when she tells me she is converting to Islam!

Now I want to be respect her religion and try to understand it. I don't want to outright ask her why she converted and what appeals to her because I feel that would frustrate her or worse, she will try to convert me. I have my own religion and don't like to talk about my beliefs (thank you Grandma). I don't understand Islam. It confuses me and what I read confuses me more. So what should I know to be respectful of? What is something to never joke about? What are the tenents and how can I make life easier on my mom while converting? The most I know is to not eat pork.

Like many of you who are outraged and feeling helpless in regards of what to do for our Uyghur brothers and sisters, we can at least do something with our wallets and help build a community to rebel against their absolutely selfish and despicable acts where it hurts them the most.

I am in search of help as well for any who would like to contribute.

The practice of the subreddit is to find alternatives in any country, doing research into products that have absolutely nothing to do with China, including supply chain where items may be partially manufactured there.

Jazakallah, I believe this is a noble cause and the righteous one and I hope you will join me.

Have a blessed Ramadan, and may Allah reward your efforts.

68. A Phrase that Comes with Rewards in the MILLIONS:

On the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (Ra) that the Prophet (Sallallahu AlaihiWasallam) said:

“Whoever enters a market and says: ‘Laailaaha ill Allah Wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul Mulku Wa lahul Hamdu yuhyi Wayumeetu Wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’

(There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.)

Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah.”

And in another narration, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states, “and he will be raised one million levels.” [Tirmidhi]

Basically the title. I’m a Catholic, but pretty universal with my approach to faith and I can say that while I don’t think I could approach faith with the devotion and dedication of my Muslim brothers and sisters I am always calmed and astounded by the loving and wonderful messages of the Qur’an. I definitely believe it must have been divinely inspired in some way. Idk, just wanted to share some love! Stay Safe!

Considering how the Quran mention there were the thousands of prophets around the globe to each nation, do you think it’s possible that Buddha was a prophet?

Do you think he was a good person or not?

There a lot of similarities and parallels between Islam and Buddhism, so i think it’s possible he could’ve been a prophet but his original teachings and ideologies were altered and corrupted overtime.

Also, was he a monk? I always thought being a monk is haram(?).

I’ve clearly not very knowledgeable regarding Buddhism but I’m just hoping to spark a discussion.

Assalamu Alaikum,

I am currently 18 and I assume that at the age of 12 you hit puberty so you have to start praying. If I am mistaken please correct me. Anyway, I haven’t prayed the first few years of my teenagehood. I have heard that you have to make up all the prayers you have missed, so if my calculation is correct it should be around 6 years. However I believe that my calculation is incorrect. Could someone help me the best way to calculate it and how to make them up? JazakAllah.

I'm looking for some kind souls who are qualified to answer these questions. The questions very drastically from new Muslims asking about the basics of Islam to sisters asking more in-depth questions. I am not qualified to answer these questions. I would appreciate all and any help.

Thank you.

So, if I understand Qipla correctly, you should face mecca when pray, but how are you going to face mecca when you're on the opposite side globe? As you know, earth is approximately a sphere, so when you are on the opposite side of mecca on a sphere, all directions lead to mecca, and not just that, they are all equal in length. So what should a Muslim face then?

Thanks in advance!

Hello brothers and sisters, yesterday as I was waking up for suhoor I noticed my cat had gone missing through the window.

I know this is not the most serious thing in the world and I know that some people may think it’s wrong, but if anyone out there could just remember her in a prayer or something that would be very kind.

She has helped me through a lot. I noticed her complete absence after I prayed Fajr and today was a very difficult fast. I hope that even if she does not return she is safe. That’s all I can ask for.

If this is wrong to post please do remove it, I’m not sure of the guidelines.

May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all!

We have reached the fifth day of Ramadan!

The 5th juz of the Qur'an consists of the following verses:

Chapter 4: An-Nisā' - The Women - Verses 24-14

Summary

The verses of this section were largely revealed in the early years after the migration to Madinah, most likely during years 3-5 H. Much of this section relates directly to the Muslim community's defeat at the Battle of Uhud, including sections about orphans and the distribution of inheritance which specifically date to that time.

The title of the fourth chapter of the Qur’an (An Nisaa) means "Women." It deals with many issues regarding women, family life, marriage, and divorce. Chronologically, the chapter also falls shortly after the Muslims' defeat at the Battle of Uhud.

One theme is continued from the previous section: the relationship between Muslims and the "People of the Book" (i.e. Christians and Jews). The Quran warns Muslims not to follow in the footsteps of those who divided their faith, added things to it, and went astray from the teachings of their prophets.

Protocols for divorce are also explained, including a series of steps which ensure the rights of both husband and wife.

A major theme of this section is the unity of the Muslim community. Allah encourages the believers to engage in commerce with each other "by mutual good-will" (4:29) and warns Muslims not to covet things that belong to another person (4:32). Muslims are also warned against hypocrites, who pretend to be among those who have faith, but secretly plot against them. At the time of this revelation, there was a group of hypocrites who plotted to destroy the Muslim community from within. The Quran instructs believers to attempt to reconcile with them, and to honor treaties made with them, but to fight them vigorously if they betray and fight against the Muslims (4:89-90).

Above all, Muslims are called upon to be fair and to stand up for justice. "Oh you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor, for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and if you distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do" (4:135).

Notable Verses

Qur'an - 4:18

And repentance is not for those who go on doing evil deeds, until when death comes to one of them, he says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who die while they are unbelievers. These are they for whom We have prepared a painful chastisement.

Qur'an - 4:31

If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small sins and cause you to enter an honorable place of entering.

Qur'an - 4:124

If any do deeds of righteousness, male or female, and have faith they will enter Heaven and not the least injustice will be done to them.

Hello, I don't know if its the sub for what I'm about to say, you can ban me if it isn't, anyway, I consider myself a muslim person (because I was born in a muslim family and have been following muslim rituals as my family does it too). In a world where currently muslim genocide ( Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Libya, recently Burma, China and much more) is happening (does this sub deny it? I don't know), where Muslims are recognised as terrorists (where Allahu-Akbar-boom bomb goes off jokes are fairly normal) and where I, a person from Muslim family don't feel safe in public because of the backlash I receive because of the religion, I've been having second thoughts.

I've studied a lot about Muslim history, Quran and other religions, and to me as much as our religious book makes sense, so do others.

Today, if I was born in any other family, I could be a Jew, a Christian, or a Buddhist. The thing is, I didn't choose my religion, it was predetermined.

Jews always get the soft spot because of the Holocaust. But no one seems to care about the muslim genocides that are hundred times larger than the Holocaust.

I have heard stories how belief is rewarded, I've read stories in Quran how belief is and will be rewarded, but in fact, I have never, encountered in any shape or form, neither experienced, any reward, or any luck due to my muslim beliefs.

To me, our religion right now just feels like an written law to well being, good behaviour, and a hope for a better future. Which is true for most of the big religions. What differentiates Muslims?

All these have been giving me a second thoughts on the belief on a particular religion. From a certain and most general point of view, every religion looks the same to me.

Typing this as I'm performing the fasting, even though I am convinced that it is just to go with the flow of my family and not to satisfy our religious needs.

Just needed to get this off my chest. I believe this Ramadan will be deciding time for the future of my belief(s).

Thank you. May you find what it is you're looking for in life.

I am reading Surah An-Nisa and and I would like help interpreting a verse since I do not speak/read Arabic well.

Verse 3 seems to say that a man should not marry multiple women if they cannot deal justly between them.

Verse 129 seems to say that it is impossible to treat multiple wives justly.

An acquaintance of mine said that this means that polygamy is forbidden, except for those who were already in polygamous marriages at the time. I have a feeling that this acquaintance is incorrect.

I think that I am misreading something, but I would like to get advice from knowledgeable people in this subreddit. JZK
