If it was delayed due to tiredness or laziness, can it still be prayed? Because Islam says it cannot be delayed for no real reason, so I broke the rules.
Like if I woke up, missed a prayer because of sleep, and was too tired to pray it and didn’t pray it.
Hey everyone, peace be upon you!
I have started to learn Arabic for a few months now. I am not a Muslim, and I am not from a Muslim country. However, I find the Islamic culture very interesting.
I am not nearly close enough to the level of being able to read the Quran as of right now, I can however write and read, and I know some vocabulary.
Now the question I had for you is could someone explain to me why, in Islam, the Quran is seen as a miracle in itself? What is it about the writing that makes it so special and unique from other books?
Thank you everyone, I hope we can all reason together in this thread and please enjoy your day!
I know the question sounds silly but I'm black and I am tired of living in this word. People are constantly racist and mean when I did absolutely nothing. Staff being rude and following me in stores, people always staring at me, never smiling or being human at the very least. I'm very polite, overly so, and try my best to not bother people but I still get treated the worst. I don't understand why people behave this way. I know for sure others are not living like this so why. Why is Allah not helping me I made so many dual just to exist in this world but nothing.
Assalamualaikum everyone
Recently, I started to pray again and learn more about Islam after leaving briefly during my high school years. despite having issues with my sobriety, I feel genuinely closer to Allah SWT. Ever since then, I have become more grateful and appreciative of everything around me. I started to speak to my parents every day and stopped looking at people from a cynical perspective.
However, I have started to cry everyday. I moved away from home at 15 for boarding school, and halfway across the world at 18 for university. however, today at 20 years old, I have started to cry everyday because of how much I miss my parents. I spend almost everyday alone. I moved to a different university so I do not know many people. The friend I had in my previous university have started to become distant with me. I miss living with my family and knowing that I was not alone. I hate how lazy I have become due to my addiction and not being able to make my parents proud. I regret so much of how I was to them when I was younger, and how much time I did not spend with my family. but because of this I became so grateful for them. Subhanallah, this is all because Allah SWT has softened my heart since my return to prayer.
Even though my heart is softened, it still hurts so much to feel so alone. I ask Allah SWT to help me quit my addiction but it’s the only thing distracting me from my pain. because of if I have stopped going to the gym as well. I feel as if so much time has been wasted and I am too old to start doing the things I want to do. I wanted to be a content creator but I fear I have messed up too much. I cannot focus on one thing either. I fear growing up and seeing my family age. I repent for the way I was to my family when I was younger almost every time I cry. I repent for the way I was to others. I feel like other than my family, no one is really there for me. even then, I do not want to worry my family and call them 24/7. I feel like my whole life is a mess and I am running out of time. Is there anything in Islam regarding these topics or any advice you would like to give me? also, please excuse my lack of knowledge; i’m trying to get better. Jazak Allah Khair.
Hello,
I hope this finds someone that can help me with a question. I grew up Christian most of my life. For a while I have been wanting a better relationship with god and feel that Converting to Islam will help with that. I want to convert but I don't know anyone that could help with taking my Shahada. I've heard I can do it by myself but other say that's not right I must do it in a mosque with an Imam
Assalamu Alaykum. I do not celebrate any holidays other than Eid and Ramadan, Alhamdulillah. As a kid I always despised winter because I thought that since I do not celebrate Christmas, I can’t enjoy winter. Ive realized now that winter is beautiful and I don’t need to associate the season with christmas. I was wondering if things such as snowflakes, garlands, undecorated evergreen trees (the mini ones, not a big one because I don’t want to be imitating christmas trees), etc would be haram or considered imitating the kuffar? and how about things such as pumpkins (not carved) and leaves during the fall?
Muslim Zionism refers to normalization steps taken by Muslim individuals and states that seek to build relations with Israel and the Zionist settler colonial project in Palestine or abroad while clothing it in Islamic epistemological, legal, or theological cloak. A ready religious imperial cadre is marshaled to offer soothing Qur’anic or selected Prophetic statements (all are quoted out of context but this does not stop them from deploying it in their discourses) to sanction that which is beyond the pale, settler colonialism in Palestine.
The Muslim Zionist imperial cadre are individuals who engage and center their relationships with Israel and Zionism while silencing, ignoring, demonizing, and blaming Palestinians for the ongoing conditions in Palestine, including the current genocide. Blaming the victims of settler colonialism, the Palestinians is offered as evidence of their “sophistication” and “intelligence” in developing relations with Israel.
Muslim Zionism locates its agency, upward mobility and access in circles of influence on the proximity and through the engagement with Zionism in the West, encounters at well-orchestrated conferences, and lofty awards ceremonies while never missing an opportunity to use “Israel speak” to explain their action when challenged. Some hide behind a facade of not knowing what is going on while sitting next to an Israeli ambassador at a dinner table and making the claim that they only focused on promoting tolerance and a positive image of Islam, no matter who is present.

For context, my entire family is Christian, and we have one godmother who is Muslim but we rarely see. My brother wrote out a whole five page explanation on what exactly he believes in about the Islam, that he found new friends and community and time for prayers, all super nice things. I'm not very aware of my surroundings, so for me it came out of the blue, but apparently it's been in the working for a while. That's great. I love him, I accept him, our sister and mother accept him (which is the immediate family and brutally honest, the ones that matter). This mostly doesn't change anything outside of my crisis of not having noticed anything.
Onto the part where I need help: My brother has a girlfriend of about a yeary she's nice, fully Muslim family, we've officially met her, they almost beam whenever they see each other. Now, my brother has invited us to a dating ceremony that may also be a fiancee ceremony? Since Muslims don't do the vague dating thing, it would technically mean they're fiancees but they're both clear that they're nowhere near ready for actual marriage.
I'll be brutally honest, I couldn't find the name of the ceremony he's talking about and I have no information on it. He said that we just need to attend and other senior Muslims will conduct the ceremony. That's great and all, but I don't know what to expect and what to do or help for.
So, I'm asking you, Islamic part of Reddit, if you have any tips or info on what to do, or what to know? Anything is appreciated.
I have been making dua for the same thing for so long, but it feels like nothing is happening. Sometimes i tell myself that it may not be written for me and i need to move on, yet i remember that dua can change qadr. Is this true? What should i do?
