I travel for university almost 16 hours flight. How do I make up for the prayers even though I don’t know where is the qibla I’m in the air so I don’t know the time or Allah will forgive me if I don’t pray them and continue normal prayer after my flight
As'Salam alaikum brothers and sisters do you know any quran tafsirs on pdf that is reliable and salafi approved? Just realised i been reading tafsir by a deobandi lol and now i've abandoned it for obvious reasons (i don't mean to trigger)
Because I saw a post today of some people saying how would a penguin be able to get there but I do not think it was said in the Quran that all animals with no exception were on the ship.
I just want to know how to defend Islam in conversation when someone who isn't Muslim asks these questions, because as a Muslim we should know our religion and faith well.
Is there any genuine marriage site for muslim ? My mother won't look for a girl for me since I am 21 years old and got no job but I wish to get married soo I don't do any haram thing
Shaytan sweared he will misguide people and he does that by whispering to us thoughts to encourage us on doing sin I remain unconvinced that such thing exist I believe it's just my own mind that tells me those kind of thing.
I am so stressed that my blood profile is changing. Even my body is changing because of the stress. I really trust Allah and believe that he will help me But everything has been so difficult. I was jobless for months and finally got a job I absolutely didn't want. But Allah gave it to me so accepted but this job is hell. I don't get to sleep or eat or even rest properly. My parents are old and sick and I can't bother them. My dad almost died (he is diabetic) because he came to help me with housing and got hypoglycemia. My mom and sister are mad at me for what happened and tbh I take responsibility for it. But now I have no support system, nobody to talk to. This job is hell but I am okay with because I know what I asked for will be fulfilled sooner or later by Allah I am posting this because I really need support and kind words because I literally have none right now. Please help
Fa Inna Ma’al Usri Yusra; Inna Ma’al Usri Yusra (For indeed with hardship will be ease; Indeed with hardship will be ease)
So whatever you’re going through. Leave it to Allah. Ease is right around the corner
So I am a muslim but I don't eat meat. I am not vegan as I eat chicken and prawns. The problem is that on eid ul azha and a week following it every meal has meat and I don't get to have proper meals. Also my relatives and friends criticize and mock me for not eating meat when I go to eid parties (dawats). I just want to eat meat but when it is in my mouth i feel disgusting and feel like vomitting. So i have two questions with which you can help me
1.Does this happen to anyone of you? 2.How can i start eating meat and don't feel gross. I just can't swallow it I feel weird. Plz help me because not eating meat bothers me a lot

Assalamu alaykum brothers and sisters, Can someone please clarify if I have understood this right? Is it saying it is not compulsory to recite surah faatiha in all rakaats? This makes no sense at all. Hope I have not made myself look dumb by my interpretation but that's what I understood from this. This is from a book called Taleemul Haq for anyone wondering. Please clarify this for me. Jazakallah Khair [link] [comments] |
Some times im at my friends house and he says prayers before eating food at the table like thanking the father and Jesus. Is it haram to pray to Allah with them? I'll just put my hands together, thank Allah and say the dua before eating but not recite anything they say that doesn't fall align with my belifes.
According to a byzantine Historian, Tengrism was the dominant religion of the region ( althought others existed peacefully) . And that they did not worship anyone but Tengri, who created the sky and the lands, as well as sacrificing their horses, sheep and cows. Thus it should come as no surprise that Turks converted willingly into Islam. The Term Tengri is still used today to refer to Allah. Just like how Quran mentioned every nation had a prophet.
Hello, and I want to thank anyone for reading this. I know if anyone looks at my profile that it's no secret I am a Christian in my post history. However, I am looking better to understand other texts, specifically of the Abrahamic religions. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good English translation of the Quran? Obviously, a Book of Mormon is super easy for me to get in English already.
When it comes to English Bible translations, I tend to like ones a bit closer to the more literal translations (ESV, NASB) over the more paraphrased versions (NIV, NLT, The Message) and I could probably take an educated guess given how many Muslims exist all over the world and how many different languages and cultures use the Quran there's probably similar dynamics with different Qurans translated.
So yeah, if anyone has any recommendations for ones that I could get, I'd really appreciate it. The only rule I'd really have is that it cannot be crazy stupid expensive (the bane of my same quest for understanding the other Abrahamics is so far the Talmud and the out-of-this-world prices).
Instead of moving to another country, can you move to another place in that country where you can practice more easily? You do not want to leave your country because you do not know how the laws and mechanisms work in other countries.
May Allah accept our fasting and duas and make this Eid more beautiful and Barakah.
Happy Eid to everyone reading this.
Have a beautiful memories and eat more meat and dishes😃.
"Why me?!” I often find myself asking, has fate led me down this challenging road? It is a question that echoes in the chambers of my heart. But then, the answer becomes clear, like a beacon in the darkest of nights. It is you! You, who is chosen, not by mere chance, but by the divine power of Allah.
For Allah, in His infinite wisdom and boundless love, has a purpose for every tear that falls from your eyes. Each drop is a cleansing rain, washing away the stains of your past, erasing your sins, and purifying your soul. Every time you sigh with a heart full of pain. Every time you hold in the pain to make others feel good. Every time you raise your hands in supplication, it is not in vain; it is a precious moment etched into the Book of Deeds, a testament to your unwavering faith.
And when you summon the strength to endure, even when every fiber of your being screams in pain, know that you are ascending. Your patience becomes a rung on the ladder to higher ranks in Jannah, a celestial reward for your unwavering determination. It's through these moments of temporary sadness that Allah tests you, preparing to bestow upon you a happiness that knows no end, a bliss that will be your eternal companion.
In your moments of doubt, remember this: Allah loves you, beyond measure, beyond comprehension. He sees your struggles, your sacrifices, and your faith. He chose you not because you are free from trials but because He knows you can overcome them. So, embrace your journey with trust in His plan, for in the end, it is a path paved with love, redemption, and the promise of everlasting joy.
A path to Jannah.
So hang in there, everything will make sense my dear sister🖤🫂
Fi sabilillah🤍

I googled a dua for making wishes come true in my native language and I found this, but they didn't list the source. Can someone confirm is it valid or not? [link] [comments] |
I am trying to find messages that I can send to my friends in Eid that are funny. I speak Arabic so there are A LOT of them in Arabic loll. Like telling them you want to end your relationship with them and then go to lower lines where they wouldn't be able to read it unless they enter the message where they find "JK Eid Mubarak". It doesn't sound funny in English but its soooo funny in Arabic:). Any suggestions for English ones?
Mufti Menk explains in this video that if you feel angry, sad, complain about something negative that happened to you it’s a punishment… What if you complained and cried and even said negative opinions about Allah (openly, not just in your mind) for like 12 hours but felt remorse and did istighfar later??? Is it still a punishment???
I am scared help JazakAllah
Hello everyone, hope this finds you well :)
I've had a question that I can't seem to find an answer to, so I've decided to see if any of you guys know/have an idea about this.
We all know the "uncanny vally", but it seems to suggest that humans developed this because there was an evolutionary reason to be afraid of something that looked human but wasn't.
But what is the Islamic take on this - is there even one? Why do we have this uncanny valley effect ingraved in us, like what is the reasoning behind this?
Thank you! :) <3
Assalamu alaykum everyone, I wanted to know what would the ruling be for qawwalis? I am specially asking for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s qawwalis. I understand that the instruments which are used (tapla, which are two small drums and the other piano ish instrument which I don’t know what it is called) could be bad, that’s why I was asking if listening to qawwalis is allowed as they praise Allah but in a more instrumental way. Of course I would use some kind of AI to remove the Instruments are preserve just the vocals.
I wish I could wear a hijab, do prayers and read the Quran and what not but I'm not Muslim and I currently feel quite comfortable in the religion I already practice and I don't really know what to do not to mention I believe my family and friends would be slightly unsupportive if I did a few Islamic practices so any advice for me?
Recently, I began to pray my five daily prayers alhamdulilah. I noticed that good things were happening, my mental health got better, I started feeling in peace because I no longer had to question the meaning of life since I now know my purpose in this dunya. Additionally, Allah swt made my waking up to Fajr much easier.
Last night, during my sleep, I experienced a nightmare. I won't go into much detail, at first it felt like it was just a normal dream, but things progressively got worse. Then, I heard a beautiful and somewhat familiar voice reciting one Ayah (it was probably ماهر المعيقلي), I don't remember much of the ayah but I'm sure it ended with {لعلكم تعقلون}. As soon as I heard that, I woke up. I asked my mom about this, and apparently, Allah swt can protect you from nightmares with letting you hear ayat from the Qur'an!! I'm really happy to have experienced this, and I hope that you guys liked this story of mine and to strengthen your Iman more.
Sorry for my bad English.
I'm in a really bad state of mind economically and personally,please pray for me Allah accepts my duas.Thank you to anyone who prays,InshaAllah the same things come to you.Blessings to everyone ❤️
Salam, for the past 4 years I dedicated time to persue a degree that I'm not proud of anymore, I feel really bad about it, like I've wasted all of my potential away because of my reticense and fear of starting all over again, I failed and feel so behind in life.
My master thesis is due next year inshallah, but is it worth carrying on this path....for context, I used to be very performant at my subject of study since forever, really, but being competant at something doesn't automatically imply that it is suitable for someone, and I've just realised it this year.
I'm drowning in regret, everyday seems bleak, I need help from an islamic perspective, besides efforts from my side to change my situation, please how can I detach myself from the obcessive idea that I wasted my time away? It is in my thoughts CONSTANTLY.
How do we properly deal with regrets ??
My sister was offering salah in my room and I needed to get something. I opened the door and accidentally passed in front of her while she was praying. I didn’t know that she is praying in front of the door so I didn’t mean to pass in front of her. Did I commit a sin?
I am struggling with this kind of sins,how to quit thewm plz help me i am to much addicted.
Its like its getting worse every year, it wasnt even this bad 5-10 years ago. It literally now seems as if every woman in America under 30 and over 12 dresses with over ~80% of their body showing in the summer time. Shorts just under the crotch and tops exposing the belly is the norm now, even for kids. It's ridiculous how widespread, normalized and encouraged this indecency and immorality has become.
Hello all! So I’ve had the honor of getting to know some Afghanis through my job, and have become friends with some of them and am learning about their culture and therefore Islam as well. I’ve gotten books to learn more about Islam, as well as a Qur’an.
Some backstory on me; I grew up Christian because of my parents, then spent quite a long time being a self proclaimed atheist. I then had some life changes for the better and began going to a Christian church again. It didn’t sit right with me, and due to some circumstances pushed me farther away so I gave up on that entirely. Through my relationship with this Muslim community and learning more about Islam, I’m very intrigued by it all and it makes a lot of sense to me. Questions Christianity couldn’t answer for me are answered in Islam, and I find such a peace about Muslims in their nature and how good and kind Islam is.
Which brings me to my question..I still have a lot to learn, and it’s daunting learning Arabic and making sure I’m pronouncing things correctly. There are certain things I may not be able to do perfectly, okay maybe not do a lot, and so I’m not sure converting right now would be wise. One of my Muslim friends thought it’d be too much for me and I should learn more and be ready before converting. After reading a lot about Islam though, I’m worried to wait. It says if on your death bed or before death you try to convert it isn’t accepted. And we never know how much time we have left. Is it better to convert now and do my best and grow in Islam as I learn more and not risk dying before converting, or is it better to wait so I’m not sinning right off the bat becoming Muslim?
I really appreciate any advice, suggestions, information, help, etc! Clearly there is still a lot I need to learn. Thank you in advance!!
My iman is at an all time low, my grandma passed away last week, my mental health is horrible atm and my physical health is crap too.
I saw a tiktok video of a hadith stating that its makruh to marry a woman who is infertile. I am infertile due to chronic illness and have struggled with coming to terms with it. Already where I was feeling incredibly insecure about myself, this video popped up and I now feel so worthless. I can’t help but fear that men will not want to marry me because I am infertile and I am causing them to sin by doing so. I feel like I am a walking sin.
I feel so much anger and I just want to cry. Please help, I love Islam so much but this has really upset me.
Hello! I have a question, I was curious about if someone wanted to convert/revert to Islam, would they be unaccepted and or not allowed to practice, become a Muslim if they've lived a certain way before?
Asscalamualikum brothers and sisters. This is just a thought I wanted to share. Isn't it crazy how when some famous person is alive like a famous musician whom people are dying to to to his concert, or some famous president or actor or some famous billionaire or some. When they are alive, people are dying to see them and visit them. But when they die, who goes to see them then? Like theirs famous people buried near where I live in chicago, but nobody visits the grave and see their fav artist and so on.
When they are alive people are like let's go hes having a concert! So they plan a trip, spend money and all. But when hes dead, nobody is like let's go visit his dead grave!
I mean its the same person.....
Iant it crazy how queen Elizabeth was so rich and famous and all, everyone knows her, got billions of dollars or pounds, got servants, planes, helicopters, food, nothing to worry about, but when shes dead, she is just another person in their graves man. None of that wealth is helping her, nor the fame. When we die, this is the reality.
But I'm sure we all think like I'm important. We want people to think about us, we want people to remember us, but tbh they wont. Think about it, someone u knows dies. You remmber them for a few weeks, for a few months, a year at max, but then life continues. Nobody remembers 24 7, that's just the fact.
So if I don't remmber people who died, why would others remmber you and me?
People spend their entire lives living life for others. Doing things that give them to benifit, only some in this life. Money, cars, women, houses, that's all man.
Tbh we have no excuse when we are dead if u think about it man. Why? Bec when u were born, on that day you got a notice. You found out that one day it's a guarantee that I will die one day.
Bro we knew from day one. Which excuse can we possibly give? Allah gonna be like you knew when u were born, u had the entire life to change!
It's like a teacher gives you a notice and tells u you have a exam.worth 70 percent of your entire grade in 4 weeks. The test has like 7 questions. U gonna come and u say on the test day, I forgot to study. Or u say ohh man it was so hard I coudent study for the test.
The teacher gonna be like i told u 30 days ago! U had time! If u dident understand, u had 4 weeks to ask me for help, but u dident!
Bro we have zero excuse. Let's be honest here. We dont have a excuse.
Lastly my brothers and sisters, let's be honest, I'm not good person, nor are u, in the sense we both sin. We all sin. But understand that Allah loves when people repent. U made a mistake? U feel like crap? It hurts inside? Good! Allah is their, just ask him for forgiveness. No matter how big of a sin u did, repent and say to him I wont do it again!
Remmber jannah is filled with sinners who repent! Hell is filled with sinners who were like noo the quran disent say music is haram, its filled with people who disbelieved in Allah, who made excuses for their sins.
Pick your boat.
Allah loves repentance, not when people give excuses and all. What's more easier, to say yes I did mess up and i did sin? Or to say no I dident mean that or make excuses?
It's easier to make excuses and harder to admit the sin. Nobody likes saying I messed up or I made a mistake. Allah loves when u admit and change ur ways.
May Allah guide us.
I have been learning a lot about Islam and I have a strong interest in understanding more since I was 16. I feel like I can identify with Islam in a couple things already because I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't party, I don't eat foods that Islam forbids and I’m dressing modestly etc. I’m also trying to pray. I know a lot already and I’m even able to read, write, and speak Arabic at a basic level and I’ve the Arabic Quran with no transliteration. I would love to hear more from you and about your knowledge of Islam. Please feel free to share anything you think is important or interesting about the religion, its practices, and its teachings. Thank you for reading my comment, may Allah bless you all ❤️
Salaamu alaikum! My Arabic is not the strongest, but across Quran and Hadith, we have the words muslimeen and mumineen, used in similar contexts but translated differently. How do they differ in their meanings and uses? Are there different characteristics between the two?
Help me find the truth (currently Christian)
Hi I’ve been a Christian my whole life grew up with Christian parents. This year has been the hardest for me deciding should I fully follow Islam if any Muslims could give me word of advice on Islam being the true religion of God may you please respond.
I’m a 20yr old female I’m trying to come closer to deen. Also trying to dress modestly, wear the hijab( hasn’t happened yet sadly) and I’ve also cut ties almost with my only 3 non mahram” friends” I’ve deleted all my photos from social media like Instagram, Facebook etc. now I genuinely wanna know if I should remove around 100? Maybe male followers I have on Instagram. Even if I don’t post my photos. Is it haram or what please I’d be glad if you could help me. Thank you so much and pls keep me in your prayers so that Allah give me hidayah
Almost all Christian denominations have become sodomy worshippers more then god worshippers same can be said about most Judaism denominations (but the orthodox branch is good at staying true to their beliefs) Islam is probably the last real genuine mainstream Abrahamic religion out in this world (except again Orthodox Judaism whatever you think of them at least they still have their main values at heart)
I keep thinking about this verse. What does it mean? Not the external meaning- What does it really mean?
Interesting hadith.
Abu Ayyub narrated that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said:
"O Messenger of Allah, indeed, I love horses. Are there horses in Paradise?" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "If you are admitted into Paradise, you shall be brought a horse of rubies with two wings, then you shall be carried on it, then it will fly with you wherever you want."
Grade: Hasan (Darussalam)

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh I'm a convert to Islam Alhamdulillah Allah guided me
I have a problem tho, when I became Muslim I didn't know a lot of things (like free mixing is Haram) still and I developed a crush on my friends cusin (non Muslim) and even tho I hadn't seen or talked to her in months I still like her to the point she's on my mind a lot I made dua to Allah to help me get her off my mind and he answered and helped me Alhamdulillah but I would still think about her time to time
I recently heard about her and even saw a photo of her and I know I probably shouldn't want to be with her I still do Sabahnallah
Can anyone give me advice In Sha Allah
May Allah bless you all Ameen
Dear brothers and sisters,
This may be a stupid question, but I thought I would ask it here and hopefully someone could clarify it to me? I pray occasionally in turkish mosques when the salah ends the turkish imam says at the end "al-fatiha", then I see others doing a duah, but im not sure if one needs to recite a duah or the surah al fatiha?
I lost my job and got into depression, i want to use my time productively, so I want to build an Islamic App (for iPhone and Android). It will be a free app with a clean design and no ads or trackers.
Will start with a clean Prayer Times app first then will add Quran and Translations, Hadith and Translation, How to Pray etc later on or will keep it as a clean Prayer Times only app as the users suggest here.
I would like to build this app here, as in with suggestions from you people and then update you with the progress.
Now the question time, what is something you would like to see in a Prayer Time App ?
Should I add a morning Alarm with a new Hadith everyday feature ? (Waking up with a hadith and its translation on the screen ?)
And also please suggest a good name for the App.
I want to have a app that shows it a halal food and don't support Isreal, I live in UK.
Is there a app have that?
i know its haram to make dua to die but is it haram to even just have that feeling in your heart like i dont make dua for it but in my heart i want it if that makes sense
I have recently started taking oral contraceptives due to health reasons. It has been about 2 weeks since I started my pills, and I have been spotting everyday since. I have read that it will take a while to subside as my body gets used to the hormones.
I am not sure whether I can pray or not even with this type of brown/bloody discharge. I did do ghusl once and even prayed a prayer but did not continue the next day since I noticed that I had spotting again.
Ive read that the time for ghusl after menses is after seeing the white/watery discharge. I am not sure what to do in my situation. Do I continue not praying until these side effects pass?
Thank you
So am I crazy or is this even real.We get good news but it didn't happened I don't sad about nothing happened.Actually I'm very happy and exiting about our family future.Allah is giving us some hints but I don't know what to do about this. This this happening 2 months now.Nothing changed but I'm really grateful about this🤍 insha'Allah I hope something will come with good and great things.
Assalamualekium
I am from Kolkata, India writing this one with heavy heart and shaking fingers. I am 24 while I was pursuing grads I took job and started helping my parents even though they never ask for any support but Allah Swt gifted me with this opportunity. Today i earn Allhamdulliah very nice and i m in a good position plus point it is work from home and Allah pak made me a “zariya” for my brother side income too which is also very good. But while I was doing job and going to college regularly only one person helped me to achieve everything I have today. I met him in school when I was in 12 and till today it’s been 5 years I am in love with him. We have only talked thru whatsapp bcoz covid started he then he started earning and I started earning Allhamdulliah both of us did not indulge into anything except talking(ik it is haraam too). My parents specially my father got a rishta from family and he has accepted it without my consent i told him I want you to meet someone i like for Allah’s sake just once please at least look but he went all mad abused me and took my laptop my job called my tl forcefully put my resignation. I talked and begged to my mom, brother, sister to help me but none of them are helping and telling me to marry The person I dont want to marry. The boy i like is religious, earning halal, respectful his family is giving assurance my giving 2 of there own property in my name but my father does not even want to hear his name let alone getting me married to him
He is crying calling me ungrateful and a bitch cursing me to die single telling me to kill myself thinking about culture and society my brother told me don’t show your face, they took away my income . They are telling me That i am doing haraam for making them cry and breaking their heart and i will be cursed by allah. They also told me they will KILL THEMSELVE if I dont marry the they chose for me, I am only crying I am unable to eat in past 3 days I lost my weight my job my eyes is numb my body is numb
Please i request no one to curse my parents bcoz i love them but please help me please i need but sort of support of what should i do

i’m currently in the process of reverting to Islam, i haven’t taken my shahada yet because i want to at least finish the Quran once and understand it to the best of my knowledge. but i’m just really confused on the timeline that i should follow, like, should i start praying after i take my shahada? or should i start anytime so i can get used to it and establish a routine.
any advice is welcome! thank you
I was born Christian and practiced until I was 25. I converted to Islam a few years later and it’s been another few since then. I have a four year old who I have raised Muslim so far. I’ve read to him the Quran and all that. I got him some coloring books and paper to draw on. He mainly draws animals and the crescent and the star, but today I noticed he drew a photo of Muhammad… I should be really mad right? To whom is my anger directed at? My son or Crayola?
Salam to my brothers and sisters in Islam I am going through a faith crisis and I need some advice. I have some stuff I’m going through, and I’m struggling really hard to even believe in Allah. Why does he give me so much suffering and no help? All my life, since the age of 8-9, I’ve been balding badly. I’ve also got bad teeth, and a huge head, and am skinny fat. My highest education is a high school diploma (which honestly isn’t even right, my parents took me out and did a bad job “homeschooling me”, as both of them never graduated college themselves but were so scared I’d get a girlfriend or something, which is so ridiculous, given how disgusting and ugly I am) , and I’ve never been able to get through college so I’m currently a drop out with a dead end job that I work at home from. I also take care of my parents and whatever I earn mostly goes to helping them and paying rent, since I can’t afford to move out in my area, so I don’t have a place to live on my own. So I can’t do things like pay for a dentist to fix my teeth, work out to improve my body or get healthy food needed for that, or to pay for implants for my head. I don’t have any friends , and I have no way of trying to find a wife on my own. My parents have tried arrange marriage but I don’t blame all the proposals getting rejected, who’d want a pathetic loser like me? It’s gotten to the point my parents have given up and told me I’m on my own, to go look myself. It just really sucks because I’ve had such a high sexual drive and I’ve resorted to mastrubation and porn to cope with my loneliness. I stopped for about a year now but now I’m just angry and sexually frustrated all the time. I do some bad things on this app too, so before someone goes through my comment history and points it out, yes, I still try haram avenues to outlet some of my frustrations I also have many health conditions, like diabetes and high blood pressure, and enlarged kidneys, to name a few. So medically I’m screwed too I stopped praying, stopped reading Quran, stopped making duas I’m scared I’m losing my faith faster and faster with each passing day. Why did Allah do this to me? Why do I have to go through this? And yes, I try to look towards people who have less than me, it doesn’t help me feel better in anyway. It just makes me angrier and more doubtful. And yes, I’ve heard of the story of Julayb, but that doesn’t make me feel better either. He had the prophet on his side to vouch for him and change his life so he could marry the beautiful woman he did. Who do I have? No one. My plea is this Am I too far gone? If looking at people less fortunate than me and hearing the story of julayb not help me feel any better, should I just give up on believing in Islam, since I’m ungrateful for going through so much?
Sorry for the jumbled mess, my minds a mess and I just need to know if I should even bother calling myself a Muslim, since I’m always angry at Allah and nothing I try helps me Thank you for taking the time to read this and may Allah bless you all.
In isha salah when i turn my head to the right to say tasleem i made a mistake and i rectified and after i turn my head fully to the left and i said tasleem.. and after i realised that i did something wrong and i dont know what to do now.
So is my salah valid or not?
Should i repeat salah?

Having an Islamic lifestyle is soo soo peaceful. This western lifestyle, or idk modern lifestyle is ew. You never feel comfortable. Ask yourself, don’t comment it below it’s between you and ALLAH, would you be happy if ALLAH asked the angels to take your soul now? May Allah guide us all to the straight path and make us yearn for getting closer to him SWT. وَسَارِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ Translation: And hasten to the for-giveness of your Lord and to a Paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the God-fearing. [link] [comments] |
Since last year my life seems unbearable and pointless. Though I'm blessed in numerous ways. I have my parents, I have a good paying job, I have a roof over my head and I get to eat food everyday. Still I feel really empty inside.
I drifted away from Allah after my relationship ended because it was the best thing that ever happened in my life after a really long time. I am still not being able to let go of the fact that that person left me. I kept asking Allah why did he bring this person into my life if his ultimate intention was to take him away. I lost myself after that.
After the breakup I got a really high paying job and I accepted it. At that time I stopped believing overall so I accepted a job at a bank which I now know is haram. It's been having a toll on my mental health as well as the job pays almost three times a normal entry level job. I planned on leaving the job in September but I became an Assistant Manager for which I decided to stick around till December them quit for the experience as an Assistant Manager in my CV. This decision itself is making me suffer as well because I don't even want to stay here but this world that we live in doesn't allow us to do things because we felt like it. I have to make sure I'm keeping backup for next time I'm applying to jobs and the experience seems credible enough. So i decided to make myself suffer extra 4 months.
I have been praying to Allah everyday to help me but after my relationship ended and I entered the job, life seems quite meaningless. I have just been passing days with nothing forward to look to. I don't even feel like working anymore. I want to just stay at home and cry to myself because idek what I'm feeling and why I'm feeling this way.
Sorry my english is not perfect.
Last year, I paid my zakat on February 2023. I haven't paid my zakat yet this year.
So here my question:
Do I have to base on the total amount I had on February 2024 or my current total amount (May 2024) to calculate my zakat for this year ?
Thanks!
Salam everyone, i feel bad for making this post but i need some reassurance. I’m a faithful practicing Muslim, I do my five daily prayers, fast when I need to and live by the laws of Allah as much as I can. However, due to several life challenges and months of making duas for things to get better with yet no results, I’m starting to doubt the legitimacy of Islam. I know this is wrong but I cant help it. Could anyone please give me tangible proof that Allah indeed exists? That islam is the truth and that the Quran wasn’t written by a human.
Salam. I was thinking about writing an ebook about a topic in islam. I have the idea but the thing is i am not a writer nor passed through this experience before. Also don’t know the basics, so what do you recommend?
Note that i want to write it in English
I go to high school and my mother works there meaning she also has lessons with students my age/class. Someone told me that someone in their class(they informed me who it is) was making sexual comments when she went to pick something up. This really distresses me. Is it permissible to use violance against such people if there is evidence and could you quote Quran or hadiths in your answer
Jazakallah khairan

I saw an Ali Dawah video talking about this secret insult in the infinity war movie, is this true, do the words correspond and is the translation correct? [link] [comments] |
Assalamu Aleykum
So I went to the mosque again yesterday after a long time and when I just said the Dua as I entered I got really dizzy and almost fainted Even during prayer I felt bad it's not the first time this has happened to me I haven't prayed that often lately, maybe that has something to do with it?
can any of you tell me what this is?
Does anyone feel bad about playing video games or watching movies while there is an ongoing genocide in Gaza ?
I read that our prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him never criticized food and from what I was told it was food that was usually given to him that we shouldn't complain about so my question is does that count for food that you buy as well like out of a restaurant ECT I get it if it's in like your mom or guest of some sort and you're getting the food for free but does that apply to if you buy food as well?
I reverted during the beginning of this year, after a year of research about Islam, and making the informed decision to revert- Alhumdulilah it’s been my best decision I’ve ever made.
However, I feel as if after learning about the religion, and reverting and all, the evil eye affects me greatly.
I’m rather young, but I have been blessed with a fortunate life- not too long ago I was leaving work with my fathers car, and couldn’t help but notice that a few of my coworkers had this look on their face of jealousy.
Later that day, I got into an accident- and I was led to suspicion this was the doing of the evil eye. This was not the first time this has happened- as the time before, I nearly got into an accident after many people seen the car I was driving and grabbing envious attention that I did not want.
Before researching about Islam, I would notice these things but it would have never affected me the way it has been as of late.
Alhumdulilah, I have left both incidents without a scratch, but it leaves me wondering why this is my reality now.
PS. I have spoken with my local Imam, and told me that I should recite Ayatul Kursi after Fajr, and Maghreb and read the last 3 chapters of the Qu’ran before I sleep for protection against the evils in this Dunya- I have since integrated that into my daily practice.
I’ve been learning bits of Arabic here and there to assist in communication with a teenager from Sudan, which is all well and good however I’m having a few issues helping him navigate his religion in these foreign lands.
Mushbooh food - can this be eaten??? Things like Mayonnaise seem to have no haram ingredients but food scanners come back with this “mushbooh” marker for a lot of things. Is this allowed or no?
Secondly, and I’ve noticed this with most of our asylum seeking kids, I’m a male so I don’t experience the issue personally but many of them are much more short, blunt and less likely to speak with women. Is this a cultural thing? I’m trying not to come across as ignorant here so perhaps it is a small sample size and I’m generalising.
And finally, other than finding local mosques and services they can access, we’ve bought them all new prayer robes and mats, support them in sport and supply them halal meat, is there anything else we can be doing as a team of staff to better meet the needs of these boys? One is Sudanese Arabic speaking and one is Afghani, Dari speaking.

I just entered collage and allahuakbar Its tough
I have this module that mainly teaches us to program And yes, no one like programming except me So the boys in my class always ask me question Wallah, i love to help them, however, at some point i get frustrated Because, the things i taught them last week were forgotten It doesnt look like they put in effort too which adds into my stress But at the same time, Im thinking too
Am i becoming more and more arrogant because my friends see me as a role model? I love helping people...but this time, it feels like a chore At some point i forget that im a student too with the amount of questions i get
Is allah testing me? Am i really arrogant? If so, how do i decrease my ego.

Basically the title
I have been sitting at home since January and haven't got a job. I have applied to almost 40 posts yet nothing so far and most of them being rejection. Rejections made me so depressed and anxious. It's so competitive (400 applicants for 1 job). I wasn't a good Muslim, I wasn't even a Muslim even though I was born a Muslim till when I saw my Palestinian brothers and sisters suffering so much yet still remembering Allah. (This was in December)I cried for them and made dua yet I still didn't offer namaz I was lazy but recently the anxiety was so much I told myself that I need to return to Allah so I am praying daily since 15days. I am trying to get up for tahajjud and Fajr (My mum gets up for tahajjud everyday so its easy but I am still struggling). I feel anxious but saying dua and remembering Allah is by my side helps. I just want some motivational words from my brothers and sisters here in this difficult time. I know it's impossible for me but nothing is impossible for Allah.
Would anybody have a collection of points to bring up against him?
Salaam brothers and sisters. A while ago I did a prayer towards whatever God there was to guide me towards the truth because I have been going through a horrible time. I now have been feeling closer to Allah and would like to get closer to Him. Does anyone have any advice on how to start? ❤️
things like clearer skin, good build, good hair,etc ? Btw what are things that you are not allowed to make dua for
salam everyone , i've been struggling with being consistent with prayer especially after life got tough & i ended up being mentally diagnosed , so m just wondering how one would manage by still performing the 5 duties even when we re low and lacking on energy and willpower , cause any act of forcing oneself potentially contributes in worsening one's case
Assalamwalekum. I have been liste to assim al hakeem's opinion about parental abuse and he says to just bear it. But I ask, Is there a limit to this abuse or a son/daughter just have to bear it whether it affects their mental health and physical health and may also cause them severe waswas about islam?
Salam everyone,
I was playing with my tasbih beads and it made me think about the number of times we say a particular dikhr.
Like 33 times, 100 times, salawat etc
Is there a specific reason why these numbers where mentioned? Is there any significance or meaning behind it?
Thanks
Salam Im half slavic and half arabic so I have always struggled with finding whats my path. Its a long journey and a long story. For instance, my slavic family encouraged me to be christian catholic - which I once was but it didnt really resonate with me. Then I struggled with atheism and was SO lost, my soul literally cried for help but didnt know where to find peace.
I always felt like my arabic background is much stronger, my family from Egypt is much more supportive and loving, caring, they really are Allah servants in every way. I always admired this about them.
I know some arabic basics, can do the accent well (I love it haha, the most beautiful language to ever exist in my opinion).
Recently I started learning how to pray properly and I know it will take me some time(I only know Surah Al Fatiha).
I still dont know much about Islam but Im willing to learn more. I have issue with recognizing the meaning of some islamic words like Dua, Adhkar, and so on, I think you get what Im saying. My arabic father is kind of guiding me so Im not alone but I need some sort of wise community because my country is mostly atheist/catholic and I dont really meet muslims here.
There is one thing Im really confused about - sins are punished, yeah right. So Im going through a really hard time (final exams, people leaving me, feeling like Im doing too little progress in Islam)
I try to listen ONLY to Quran lately and somewhere between my islamic content I watch on instagram there was this girl that popped up. She made a song, with a really strong demonic energy sang with beautiful deceiving voice. I started listening to it on loop and Im afraid of whats happened. Something whispered to me to keep listening to it. Now I have like red eyes, dilated pupils, I feel anger and disgust, rage. It feels like I’ve received something bad from this music. The thing is, I did this consciously but I feel like addicted to this one song. I really dont want to use Islam as an excuse to commit such sins, what to pray in order to strengthen the bond with Allah? I need to get out of this state. I still know very little about how it all works and mostly rely on what I feel in my heart. Thanks for any kind of responses.
During Ramadan I’ve prayed made duas etc. after Ramadan my faith is getting weak and I need help regaining it back. Why does it happen? How can I make my faith stronger again. I feel like something bad might happen to me soon how can I ask Allah to forgive me and guide me back to him
I'm having this problem for a quite while now. Especially since when puberty started and facial and body hairs started to grow on my body. I really feel uncomfortable the way I look and whenever I see girls I feel like I wish I were more like them. I can't even look myself on the mirror or take any pictures because of the fear of getting triggered . I'm feeling pretty lost because of it. I sometimes have the urge to start hrt or get bottom surgery but I don't wanna cause it's haram.

Can someone explain this hadith please?
There was revealed: 'Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Allah.' (4.95) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Call Zaid for me and let him bring the board, the inkpot and the scapula bone (or the scapula bone and the ink pot)."' Then he said, "Write: 'Not equal are those Believers who sit..", and at that time `Amr bin Um Maktum, the blind man was sitting behind the Prophet (ﷺ) . He said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is your order For me (as regards the above Verse) as I am a blind man?" So, instead of the above Verse, the following Verse was revealed: 'Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah.' (4.95)
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4990
Why didn't Allah just reveal the verse first instead of changing it?
I sometimes find old questions among from previous Muslims that turned exmuslims and this has been a reccuring pattern here to be honest, and most of the general conscious here is that exmuslims became such from either bad parenting or negative Islamic influences but from what I see, it's also question alot of the Islamic ruling and such. I have doubts as well but like it's not that serious to the point of leaving religion completely but what do people think about this and how do you counter act this(because I don't really see reason you can, you either believe and continue to find reasoning for that or want to disbelieve and continue to disagree with that.)
asalm alykum everyone so i really need some answers to this issue that i have so this morning i was sleeping then i woke up midway (i wasn't 100% concious) and felt something wet in my pants while half asleep thinking it was semen i continued sleeping and thought abt taking a shower when i wake up the issue is when i woke up i found that there was nothing and there were no traces +the fact that i didn't have a wet dream should i perform ghusl or not for the possibility that maybe it dried off ? even tho there was no traces no nothing ?
As the title says I need help converting.. I have no transportations to a mosque until a couple months... are there any tips or guidance y'all may provide? I know I must speak the shahada and practice salat but outside of that I am not sure.. thank you in advance!

Bismillah ir Rehmanir raheem, La Illaha il Allah Muhammadur Rasoolallah sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Assalamualaikum, I heard opinion of the scholars, they say it is impermissible to pray inside a masjid with grave within it's walls. I agree with that. but I dont know if it's in the backyard of the masjid. In North India it's very prevalent and I've seen a lot of these. I've been praying Jummah in this masjid from quite of some time, the Imam sahab seems nice person and he is not into grave worshipping as of my knowledge, it is our city's one of biggest jummah mosque, It has a grave in the direction of Qibla in the backyard of mosque, I don't know if it's permissible, makrooh or haram to pray there. Jazakallah
I've seen countless posts here by people interested in Islam or new reverts asking the same information about basics of prayer in Islam or online channels to learn more about Islam etc. Sadly some of those posts also get ignored. Could it be that with the help of the mods a post is made and pinned up just for reverts or people interested in Islam which answers all their basic questions? Inshallah it'll be a huge help to a large number of people.
