My friend does not have a phone, so during breaks in college she will use my phone. I don’t mind this at all as i don’t really go on my phone but the problem is that all she does is listen to music. Now i’m wondering if i’m getting those sins as i am giving her access to this?

I came across this Hadith when I saw a video on YouTube of Skaykh Al-Albani رحمة الله عليه crying because he remembered and read this Hadith.
A man kissed a woman (unlawfully) and then went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him. Allah revealed: And offer prayers perfectly At the two ends of the day And in some hours of the night (i.e. the five compulsory prayers). Verily! good deeds remove (annul) the evil deeds (small sins) (11.114). The man asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "Is it for me?" He said, "It is for all my followers."
Sahih Al-Bukhari 526 and Sahih Al-Tirmidi 3114.

For example when I was a teenager, I used to have a screen time of only 1 hour a day but I felt that is way too little (especially for someone my age) and instead I would be just watching TV instead but that wasn't too different to watching on my Laptop. My parents were very strict and not understanding of how little this time really is. Would've this have been okay as it isn't considered a big thing to disobey parent for? And would it be fine if I did it for good reason as such to make money and learn?

Assalamu alaikum, I reverted to Islam and recently unfollowed a bunch of people that I grew up with that live their atheist lives in a way that I don’t want to be exposed to. A childhood friend just contacted me and said that she noticed that I unfollowed her and asked why.
The reason why is because I don’t want to see her way of living. I no longer live in my home country and we rarely speak and for the past 5 years we’ve met 1-2 times a year.
I know that my decision is right for me, but it feels awkward to get the question. I want to live my life the way I feel is best in this life, but I don’t know what to tell her.
When I think about it there’s a chance I didn’t tell her I reverted to Islam. What would you do in my position?

Is it ok to visit my family during mid-end of December and participate in their pre Christmas activites such as making cookies, family dinner, and being around all of the Christmas decorations?
-
Is it ok to exchange gifts on the days leading up to Christmas and brand it as a holiday gift?
-
Is it ok to participate in a secret Santa work gift exchange?
-
What do you other reverts do?
Note: When my parents do Christmas gatherings, they don’t tie it to religion. Although some of my family does, but I won’t be participating in any prayers or religious discussions.

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah,
Some close friends have started a business in Madinah teaching arabic and Quran (at masjid nabawi). They really want brothers to experience Madinah. They are pretty clueless regarding social media and wanted some insight on how to improve their website, program and reach. If you all can be brutally honest and give advice it would be much appreciated. Walahi these are some of the most sincere and knowledgeable brothers and I really want them to succerd succeed. I'm not a business partner btw. www.nurinmadinah.com

Hello everyone , I’d like to get some help on the topic of evil eye. I wonder if we can really protect ourselves from the evil eye, as Allah is the almighty and he decides everything. Which means that if I get evil eye, that’s because Allah permitted it. Then how are we supposed to protect from it ? As it is something that Allah decides.

Assalamu Alaikum my brothers and sisters, I have a question about the punishments of hell in Islam. It is this: do we go to hell because of our separation from Allah, Most High, or do we go to hell because Allah punishes us with this torment? I learned within Christian philosophy that God, just like the water needed by fish, is necessary for us to live. In other words, when we deny God, it would not be he who punishes us, but we who move away from Him and thus damage ourselves. What is the Islamic view of this situation?

Alhamdulilah I became Muslim not too long ago after realizing Islam wasn't like what I was told growing up as a typical American. I initially researched Islam so I could criticize it even more only to end up feeling drawn to it and falling in love with Islam.

Assalamu'alaikum everyone, I'm a 17 year old male and I'm a bit confused on who my (the man's) awrah can be shown to. I know it's different for sisters who can wear clothing depending who they're with but I've done some googling and I'm not sure what it is for men. (I know that it's from the naval to the knees).
The main reason for this question is that my younger brother and sister have realised that I've been working out for a few years and enjoy squeezing my arms etc. which is fine Islamically (I think). However, I bought my brother a batman action figure a month ago and it has a six-pack so now my brother and sister keep pestering me to show them my abdomen.
Even though it's not as prominent as Batman's and, a lot more importantly, above the boundaries of the awrah (my belly button) I'm wondering if I am allowed to show them it? I do sometimes flex my arms for them which I think is debatable on whether it's allowed or not but I think something like showing the area above my Awrah (for like twenty seconds) is likely to have a more definitive answer.
Thank you in advance!

assalamualaikum va rahmatullah va barakat.
(this post is not about suicide)
how would you respond to this?: "i have already become Muslim. i believe in the 6 pillar of faith and i uphold the 5 pillars of islam. so i have accomplished my purpose on the earth. why doesn't allah (Subhash va taala) take my life if i have no other reason to be alive?"
is the next test the test of how long you can keep up being alive and a Muslim? it's like completing a video game and there's nothing else to do. you'll eventually get tired of it and stop playing. but since"stopping to play" is a huge sin you have to keep playing.
i just can't see anything else to do. family is temporary. love is temporary. money is temporary. status is temporary. being respected is temporary. i have no desire of these things. what am i suppose to get motivated by? i can't lie and say i wouldn't enjoy having them but im saying what's the point of enjoying something temporary in the first place? these things don't motivate me. i want to do things because it makes Allah happy not because it makes me happy. for example i don't pray because it helps me and calms me and makes me happy (even though it does), i do it to have Allah satisfied with me and to fulfill my duty and ultimately reach salvation (ie jannah).
i have heard that Allah wants us happy too. for example the hadith that says "a strong Muslim is better than a weak Muslim" and how being intimate with your spouse is a form of worship. my problem is that i don't feel comfortable with me being happy. i have changed as a person after my conversion to islam and i hate and despise who i used to be. and who i used to be was a naive kid chasing after the next dopamine hit. this makes me hate being happy. everytime im happy i bite my tongue and remind myself that it was chasing happiness that made me headless of my purpose and made the worthless worldly things be important to me. i never "get lost in the moment" as if im never going to die. how am i suppose to please Allah by being happy when chasing worldy happiness was why i was bad?
please if you can shine light on this, help me. am i too extreme in this? where am i misunderstanding things? am i missing a view point? also please include hadith or Quran if you know.

I come from a muslim village in the middle east but not a muslim country. I grew up in a very restricted way but also with a very close and big family and extended family.
I later moved to the capital city of my country which has a more open life and I started to stray away, all my friends were males and I lived in an unislamic way. I think I couldnt stand living with my mom who was abusive, but also a religion teacher and religion got associated with her personality for me.
I moved to the west three years ago still carrying on (dating women, alcohol,etc..). But since more than a year I start to connect to Islam again and Im more dedicated than ever . I currently live alone and know no people here, my question is: how can I create a social life that is aligned with islamic values in such a society? I spend most my time praying and learning more in deen and working (research) in other stuff. I don’t want to get into dating and I don’t know how to meet people otherwise. But Im absolutely isolated and also have grown far from old friends and family. I dont want to have casual male friends, I actually think there might still be a chance to get married and have kids. Im glad that I left in the first place and connected to God and not to the abusive image that I grew up with, I still pray God forgive me these years of sinful living and still dont see the way ahead. I miss the togetherness I felt growing up, the abundance of love and people

Welp, everyone out here is either pointing that a brand supports the occupation or defends it, but no body is talking about alternative (or I didn’t land there) which is what we most kinda need rn.
I’m new in UAE and I’ve came from sudan so I know war and there is no way that I back down on the boycott, but we need alternatives, like in software we have a great website alternativeto.net which can help you replace a software with equivalent, can we have a megathread or a sub for alt suggestions for X Brand ? Like I’ve struggled with a good soft drink, coffee and now pizza 🤦♂️
I know this is lame as ever but the tiny little things like this helps you keep up the boycotting you know 🤷♂️

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
While I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) a man came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me'.' The Prophet (ﷺ) did not ask him what he had done. Then the time for the prayer became due and the man offered prayer along with the Prophet (ﷺ) , and when the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Haven't you prayed with us?' He said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forgiven your sin." or said, "....your legally punishable sin."
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْكِلاَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ. قَالَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْهُ. قَالَ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الصَّلاَةَ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا، فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا ". قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ ". أَوْ قَالَ " حَدَّكَ ".

Why does the Qoran sound like sort of poem ?
When compared to other texts of the ancient world, I think the closest other religious text I can compare it to is maybe? The Tao cuz it also feels like a poem?

Good evening everyone.
Let me preface this by assuring you I mean in no way disrespect or mockery. My questions may seem far fetched and dumb, but I feel like I may ask them here, since I just don't know any muslim. There is also no real muslim community where I live, too.
For my entire life, I have been basically living non-religious. Neither my family nor anyone in my social life practices a theist religion, or any religion for that matter. But over the period of the last couple of months, the weirdest thing has started happening to me. I feel drawn to Islam. I don't even know why. Maybe it's the Qur'ān, which I have had for 10 years now, since I have first gotten an interest in it. Probably it is my cynicism given all the suffering in the world. I feel like there is more to this life. Something I can't really grasp, but it's there.
So I know, I'll be digging deeper and learn, and, hopefully, eventually, become a muslim myself.
I do, however, have a hard time mixing my rational world view with this religious one.
For example, I have no doubt, that our species, us humans, have not been on this planet for longer than a couple of hundred thousand years. I also have no doubt that we share a common ancestry with animals that evolved differently, thus I have no doubt in evolution. I can also use my eyes and a telescope to see the vastness of the universe and so many stars which are essentially suns.
This knowledge combined is giving me a hard time.
Where is Allāh in all of this? Was Allāh before the modern human existed? When did he decide to create humankind? Do other (intelligent) animals maybe also have a religious duty? What is the reason for a god-created earth and humanity if the universe is so vast (and expanding)? Or is god focused on earth?
I apologize in advance if any of my questions/wording was inappropriate and/or disprespecting. I did not intend to be disrepectful or inappropriate.
I am trying to find the right way in what I consider a journey.
Thank you all

I have been diagnosed with OCD and General Anxiety Disorder and which is why I'm getting help from a professional but the ongoing genocide, horrific images and videos, Islamophobic people is seriously harming. Even meds aren't helping me calm down.I get thoughts of harming myself because I can't take it anymore. I know it sounds selfish because I have the privilege of feeling safe in my home, having food on the table, roof over my head. I want to stay strong and support the victims but I am failing miserably.
I don't have words to describe how I feel or am feeling just help if anyone can 😭💔🥀

I am an 18 year old man looking to get married next year In shaa Allah. I will be going to uni the following year to pursue CS in the Netherlands, however, as you guys know there's so much fitna in Europe which has led me to search for a spouse and get married early. It's really hard for me to find someone righteous who is willing to get married, go to a different country with me, and their dad willing to pay their daughter's living expenses for 3 years as I wont be earning for 3 years of uni, but for what its worth I have made this post in hopes that I find someone. Can you advice me on how I can look for a match ? I don't even wanna consider using online matchmaking sites. On that note, if you do know someone, perhaps from your friends, family, or relatives willing to get married at this age then please send me a message. Just a few things, please make sure they are righteous, do hijab, and are not a deviant (bidah etc) very important.

Bronze Ecstasy
Pat McGrath Bronze Ecstasy 5-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a new, limited edition neutral-leaning color story that included two semi-matte shades paired with three very shimmery shades. The formula was creamier across the board with the mattes having a smoother, more velvety texture (less like a traditional matte), and the shimmers being very cream-like and a touch thicker, though I had great wear, pigmentation, and experienced good application with all the shades.

Starlit Champagne
Starlit Champagne is a very light and bright, peachy copper with an intense, sparkling metallic finish.
- Opaque pigmentation
- Smooth, emollient consistency, almost cream-like
- Picked up well dry or dampened brush; applied evenly without fallout
- Long-wearing (10 hours before fading visibly)

Formula Overview
$25.00/0.04 oz. - $625.00 Per Ounce
Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described.
The brand released single eyeshadows in March 2019, and the shades have been consistent in quality, look, and feel. They are not removable, unfortunately, so one would have to depot like any other single eyeshadow--I tried using tweezers and lifting on several shades to no avail. The lids are held closed by a weak magnet, so I'm not sure they're as secure as most single eyeshadow compacts in my stash--I wish it really locked in, but there's definitely a magnet that pulls the lid down if it's within 2mm of the base.
The mattes are velvety, blendable, and dense without being thick or too heavy, and they have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation where a little can go a long way with some of the deeper and richer hues. The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

The lids are held closed by a weak magnet, so I'm not sure they're as secure as most single eyeshadow compacts in my stash--I wish it really locked in, but there's definitely a magnet that pulls the lid down if it's within 2mm of the base.
The mattes are velvety, blendable, and dense without being thick or too heavy, and they have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation where a little can go a long way with some of the deeper and richer hues. The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described.
