I know suicide is haram in islam, but i have done more haram sins which definitly will get me in hell so i dont think it doesn't matter if i do suicide, i just wanted to know will i be eternally in hell if i do one, and i feel if i live, i will continue to do more sins, so its better i should just do this one last suicide sin?

I am male 28, and I have been diagnosed with bipolar and sent to psych ward 3-4 times in past 2 years. I am not praying and the more I abstain from going to mosque the more fear is building up in my brain. I am not praying because my depression, anxiety, tremors and lack of motivation plus the drowsiness and diziness from my antipsychotic and anxiety medications, my doctor isn't muslim he doesn't understand me I tried manier times to explain this lack of enery but he just adds up more sleeping tablets. It's not like I don't pray at all, there are days when I pray 5 times or atleast try to attend all the prayers when I feel normal or being able to walk to the mosque. Currently I'm in a situation where I haven't gone out of house since past 10-15 days and allah only knows how long will this continue. I wish I could be just normal and pray when it's time because I know how important it is even when you are sick.

Recentely had an interesting thought that if we as muslims believe in everything to be predestined then we technically do not believein chance or probability. For example if someone says "there is a 1 in 2 million chance that someone gets struck by lightning in their life time" this is technically false as wether someone ever gets hit by lightning or not would already be predestined rather then probablity. a more simplified thought could be that although statistically you would have a 1 in 6 chances of getting a 5 when rolling a dice, if we believe in predestination then no its not actually a 1 in 6 but wether the dice rolls a 5 or not is already predestined. The examples may seem strange but its an interesting thought i had recentely hopefully someone replies

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

As I always start, I am a relatively recent revert to Islam. Lately, I have been binging YouTube videos and channels of brothers doing da'wah. I can't stop lol. I always have one of these videos/channels playing in the background while I am at work. I learn so much about Islam like this, and I also learn about the contradictions and holes in Christianity. I find it so interesting how confident Christians are when they come up to these brothers and then refuse to listen to cogent, logical points about how their assertions and evidence are flawed. I might be overdoing it watching these videos all the time. I mix it up though with other videos about Islam that are not da'wah, but the majority of what I find myself watching is da'wah. Maybe Allah (swt) is guiding me to my new purpose in life.

Because I’ve seen different answers , people say that you can’t because there’s like atar/oud or some sort of fragrance on it which makes sense because fragrances are prohibited in ehraam , but others say the Kaabah is an exception , which one is right? Or is there a different answer?

Hi, I am not a religious person but I try to draw knowledge from any source. It came to me not so long ago that many religions like Christianity, Bhudism or philosophy like Stoicism has something in common, they all seem to propagate the acceptance of pain in life, because suffering is inevitable part of life.... I wonder what does pain and suffering stand for in Islam?

I've always talked to Allah with so much intent and passion, now I'm just mumbling something before I sleep. I've been more skeptical and is more critical about a lot of things and have quite frankly slowly let go of life in living it worthwhile for as a ambassador of Islam. Brothers/sister how do I reconnect?

I'm a non-muslim, but today I've had a dream about converting to Islam, and I've felt so good in that dream + I've thought of converting to Islam before, but I'm kind scared because I like drawing, cross stitching, and clay sculpting, and often those works depict living beings. I'm now preparing a bunch of cross stitch patches to sell and they all depict living beings (I make it all foe an artist alley). I'm scared of loosing all this progress then to possibly not like being Muslim and regretting throwing it all away.

I ACCIDENTALLY bought a book that's not original (it's pirated) the price is not that cheap, but it's a fair price.

Now what should I do with the book? I don't really have money, I'm a poor. Is it halal if I keep the book & read it?

The book is an educational textbook, it's a waste if I throw the book in the trash. What should I do?

I am not a Muslim but I enjoy learning about religions and getting a better understanding of their beliefs. The question that I have is something I have wondered about a lot for all the different religions that have their version of a paradise in the afterlife.

So my question is, in Jannah, you are supposed to get whatever you desire (Quran 41:31). So if I was a Muslim and died and went to Jannah, but for example my parents weren’t and so didn’t end up there. But if I desire for my parents to be there, wouldn’t they be there since I would be able to have anything I desire?

Some insight on this topic would be much appreciated!

Hello all!

I don't really know where to go with this post. I have an interest in Islam, that I've had for about 3 years now? Around that time amount. I have a good friend whose Muslim and they were helping me learn about it. But since i have a very predominant Christian family, I kept trying to push the "calling" away. Just to add, I'm in my mid twenties. So this isn't a juvenile flighty/temporary fixation for me lol.

Something about Islam just feels right for me. I've read a good portion of the Quran, and was delighted with how similar the stories were, to my own upbringing! But I'm nervous about a few main issues with myself.

  • My Christian family. I really think it would cause some drama and strife. And I don't even think they're devout Christians. Unless it's a holiday, or a situation like this, I never hear much about their faith. Sort of just a "cultural norm" type of thing.

  • I am decently plagued with mental illnesses and physical disabilities. I worry that I wouldn't be able to keep up with all the teachings and lifestyle. I'm also worried my mental health issues would be a source of strife. Just to be clear my mental issues are all minor/ not dangerous to myself or others. As in I have control of my actions.

  • I do worry though since in the past, I've dealt with suicidal thoughts. Which I know is a huge sin in Islam.

  • I'm just worried I won't be good enough in the eyes of Allah.

I know this is a jumbled mess, but im just voicing my thoughts. Hopefully someone here will have some wisdom for me.

One of the most poetic bit of irony I’ve ever read.

The same man who depicted the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Ali (RA) being punished in hell in his Christian fan-fiction used Islamic sources on the afterlife, I’m not a poet but thats pretty ironic.

I’ve been struggling with this for a long time, and I want to ask for advice. My grandmother has been mentally torturing my mother for over 20 years, and it’s had a huge impact on our lives. She made my mother pressured her to care for my uncle like he was her own son, and constantly criticized her. My uncle, instead of helping or working, stays at home, doesn’t contribute, and has caused major financial issues. He even gambled away money and put our house at risk by taking a loan in our name. ( house is not on his name )

My mother has suffered so much because of them. Even though my uncle is now around 40, he’s still dependent on my grandmother, and they’ve both made my mother’s life hell. She’s been under constant mental pressure, and it hurts to see her like this.

There have been incidents where my uncle harassed my mother, and my mama (who is in the police) had to step in to deal with him. Despite everything, my grandmother always defends him and expects us to take care of him no matter what.

It’s gotten to the point where I feel like I’m going to explode. Recently, I lashed out and said some really harsh things about my grandmother, and now I’m wondering if I went too far. Is it wrong to express anger towards someone who has caused so much pain, even if they are family? How do you deal with this kind of family pressure and emotional abuse?

I just want to know if it’s justified or if I should handle it differently.

I’m so scared rn, he said it so casually like it wasn’t a big deal. He said he does not believe in god and doesn’t consider himself Muslim anymore. How do I approach this, I don’t want to make a mistake and drive him further away. My biggest fear rn is that he’ll die in a state in kuffar, and I’m just so scared. If this isn’t the right place to post this do y’all know of anyone who could help me. Thanks.

I left someone I love dearly, with every fiber of my heart, it is as if our two souls were written for one another to come together as one. Every single verse in the Quran that talks about our spouse, this man feels like that. Like home, safety, love. He’s better than any Muslim man I’ve met but the problem is that he’s not Muslim.

I spent weeks, months, researching; trying to find any possible way that I can marry him in a halal way. Nothing. Absolutely nothing solid. I even talked to my parents because I feel so helplessly lost. I got their emotional support because there’s no possible way. I cannot comprehend why it’s such a grave sin for me to marry someone I love, who’s so deeply respectful of my religious beliefs, who has such a good heart, and is such a morally good person. I don’t understand. I beg Allah to show me that He hears me and I ultimately get nothing. I beg Allah to open his heart to Islam and it kills me that it’s so easy for Him to do that, something so small and simple, but he won’t. It’s killing me, I have never in my life felt such a level of inner agony and grief. This has not left my heart at peace nor at ease that I’ve left something for Allah, I just feel betrayed, and borderline questioning, because I can’t grasp why I would go to hell for marrying this man. Even if I was “otherwise” righteous? Even if I continued to fulfil every Islamic obligation and do everything in my power to live in the way of the Prophet SAW aside from this ONE thing? Even if my intentions are truly pure? This is agony. I cannot stop sobbing randomly every time I think of him. He’s so full of love and light that all I can do is pray Allah returns him to me when we can finally get married, and I almost can’t imagine any other reason why Allah would test me with this if not maybe to be the reason he finds the truth of Islam and comes to it.

At school there’s this one muslim who keeps making fun of me for everything he can and curses at me a lot even though i didn’t do anything to him. I really don’t care but yesterday it ended up getting me mad and I made fun of his weight. I’m full of regret and keep asking him for forgiveness but he says he will never forgive me. I’m saying that i will forgive him in every way he’s wronged me and I told him the hadiths of forgiving and he still won’t forgive me. Does my salah or connection with Allah get affected and what should I do. What i said was atleast i’m not obese and I said that he looked very punchable.
