Hi, I am a teenage Muslim male who is feeling lost and struggling with many different issues. I feel trapped with how my family treats me and force me to compromise with my siblings without acknowledging who’s fault it is because I have to be the better person and become their temporary elder brother after mine has left for college.
As a result of this I notice me distancing myself from my family and becoming more introverted while not being one at all with my friends. I also feel abandoned somewhat and paranoid everyone is out to get me.
I have problems with staying faithful and not sinning along with praying but sloth has been coercing me into laziness. I believe I have Borderline Personality Disorder and ADHD but I am afraid of seeking a definite answer due to my family’s traditional beliefs.
Thoughts enter my mind about being prejudiced and causing harm on others directly or non directly. I also find myself hating or more likely being disdainful of people of the other gender due to unknown reasons
I do not know if this is a cry if help or not because I generally feel numb but also heavily afraid of myself turning into something monstrous and causing my own problems on others rcing me into laziness.

Salaam everyone,
I personally don’t believe in madhabs since they were established after the death of our prophet. I myself follow only the sunni islam (I say that because there is now a sunni islam since other madhabs are present).
The biggest reason is for example for shafis if they touch a dog or give their hand to a woman they have to take wudu for prayer, whereas in sunni islam there is no such thing. So, we all now salah is the most important pillar of islam and we can’t pray without taking wudu, right? So which one is right? Either Sunnis are wrong or the shafis and the prayer of one is invalid since their wudu broke if they do the aforementioned acts.
Another example is zaqaat. Shafis believe they don’t need to give zaqaat for their wealth if they don’t use it for trade whereas Sunnis do. So which madhab is sinning?
I believe madhabs are just causing trouble and suffering since Muslims fight over trivialities of their madhabs. So am I in the wrong?

This is my sister's account. The usual user of this account isn't me rn.
I revised so much for the exams since the start of the year, I prayed tahajjud and worked so hard but I end up with terrible results. I put in so much effort and allah has completely disregarded this and just made me fail. This is seriously affecting my iman. Can any of ylu think of reasons why allah would just ignore me even after I did tahajjud and studied so much?

I am in my early teens and I am struggling with a. Lot of things especially mental. One of those things are my deen and accepting Islam as the complete truth but I am getting feelings that it’s wrong and thiesm is just wrong in general. I hate these feeling I just want to feel stable in my belief. But it feels like every single arguement for god is completely debunked perfectly and logically by athiests(ontological, cosmological, fine tuning, consciousness,etc.) while athiesm proves everything just based on science and facts.
Tldr: young Muslim losing faith 1. Needs to be sure there is a god(logically and considering all factors and informaiton) and 2. Needs to be firm that islam is the complete truth

Whenever I go to the toilet and wash my hands, there's a spec of dust or some form of dirt, is it mandatory I clean it out? I often feel the pain trying to dig the dirt out of my nails because I think the dirt might have become impure since it made contact with impurity while I using the toilet, should I even clean a tiny spec of dirt under my nails whenever I use the toilet? It's often too deep under my nails to remove or I often hurt my fingers in the process of cleaning a spec of dirt under my nails (the size is sometimes a small black dot deep under my nails) but I'm afraid it becomes impure when I clean my private parts or some of the impurity went under my nails. I waste a lot of water when trying to remove the dirt under my nails.

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.

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).

"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🤍

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.

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.

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 ??

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.

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.

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)

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?
