Salam everyone, i am a revert coming to islam and i heard about a day called Arafah and i was wondering what is the best thing to do on this day to get as many rewards as possible, any help will be appreciated ok bye
Since i was a kid, i have been diagnosed with autism and adhd, every professional person that was studying me said it, even my own partners told me about that, but my family just don't seem to care at all, except my dad who actually cares and supports me every time i need it, my mom and my sister have made my life horrible, 95% of the bad memories or bad moments that i have been through were caused by my mom and sister, SPECIALLY MY MOM, she keeps saying that i have no problem even if the experts told otherwise to my mom, she has clearly seen things that are common in adhd/autistic people but somehow, keeps refusing that i have nothing.
Every time i was feeling bad or i was having problems in my life, she doesn't support me, i don't remember NOT EVEN 1 TIME, telling me if i was ok, i could look crying, looking like i'm about to have a heart attack, and she will just ignore me with her phone.
Quick context: My family don't care about my mental health and have been torturing me for more than 15 years of my life, i'm not exageratting when i said EVERY single day, even when we are on vacation and everything is good, she will just somehow make excuses to ruin everything.
Everyone says that your mom loves you and no matter what she does, don't do anything, but mine will just keep not care about my mental health, i talked to her calmly about all i'm going through, i was always talking to her good, even when she was doing the wrong, i didn't tell anything and saying sorry.
My family except my dad, just take advantage of me and don't care, i tried everything, duas, salat, asking Allah for this to end, different methods to make my family learn, really high kindness but nothing improved, not even a little, these days i started to behave really bad and today, i lost my mind after something that i didn't do wrong and hit my mom for the first time, she didn't talked to me since that happened, she made me suffer and she is right now thinking that i have all the fault and she has nothing, she never says sorry to me BTW.
At this point, i may lose my mind and would hit her someday because this keeps happening and when i'm in peace, i still feel affected for all these stuff that happened to me, my mom simply doesn't care about me don't even bother saying that they do, someone who knows that have mental problems and have been suffering since being 3 years old wouldn't do that.
I don't know what to do anymore, i appreciate that you have been reading all of this, if i talk this to someone they will just say something like "donT do AnythinG, JusT ignOre and KeeP goIng" but this is a serious thing, this is not something that a mother can do to his son without feeling bad and doing it every single day for more than 15 years, i need help of anyone here for this issue that i have, it's affecting my life and i was being suicidal lately, what can i do?
Thanks.
Growing up Arab I’ve always seen that in Arab culture, women usually receive around $20–30k, sometimes even more, in gold. I love gold, but personally I think $10k in gold like a simple necklace and bracelet is enough for me.
The other day, I asked my family what they’d think if a guy offered less than $20k. They laughed and said he’s not worth anything. I laughed too, but deep down I felt a little frustrated because that amount feels really high to me. I wasn’t sure how to feel about it like, who in this economy can afford to give that much gold, buy a house, and still cover all the bills? I care more about marrying a good man, someone kind, religious, and able to take care of me.
But I’ve been thinking: what if I do ask for a small mahr, and he starts thinking, “She doesn’t ask for much,” and keeps that same low-effort energy through the whole marriage? On the other hand, if I ask for a higher mahr, maybe it sets the tone that he needs to always put in real effort.
I know people say “less is more” and that there’s barakah in simplicity but I also don’t want to end up stuck in a situation where he treats me the way I priced myself, like I asked for less so I’ll always accept less.
And honestly, sometimes I wonder why would I leave my parents’ house and get married if I’m not going to live a better life? I see my friends around me living comfortably, and it makes me think: I could just stay home, take care of myself and my parents, and avoid the stress. It makes me feel conflicted about marriage, like I don’t really know what to do.

Hello everyone. I'm from Peru and I'm truly interested in learning about the Quran and its message. A friend from Egypt used to guide me in Spanish, but she recently got married and is no longer available. I'm now looking for someone who could help me continue this journey.
I speak Spanish and English and would appreciate any kind of material, resources, or even someone willing to talk kindly and respectfully. I'm not here to flirt or disrespect anyone — only to learn and understand with a sincere heart.
If anyone knows where I could start, or is open to helping a beginner like me, I would be very grateful. Thank you and may peace be with you.
Assalamu Alaikum everyone,
I’m going through a really tough time right now. My little brother, who is only 4 years old, has just been diagnosed with diabetes. It’s been very hard for my family and me to process this news. He’s also been struggling with some other health issues, and right now he’s in the hospital being treated.
I’m only 16, and sometimes I feel overwhelmed, but I’m trying my best to stay strong for him. I would really appreciate if you could keep him in your duas and prayers, and if you have any advice or support to share, it would mean a lot to me.
JazakAllah Khair for your kindness and prayers.
My only request is that you pray for me for Allah to accept my duas and to fulfill my wishes. May Allah bless you the same.
Please feel free to share and save it to your devices.
O Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving, I stand before You, humbled and in awe of Your greatness. I come to You in this sacred place, seeking Your mercy, forgiveness, and acceptance. O Allah, accept this Hajj from me as an act of sincere devotion. Make it a Hajj that is accepted, a journey that purifies my soul, and a pilgrimage that brings me closer to You.
O Allah, I beg You to forgive my past sins, the ones I remember and the ones I’ve forgotten, the ones I’ve committed knowingly and unknowingly. Cleanse my heart from arrogance, envy, and hatred, and replace it with love, humility, and gratitude. Grant me the strength to endure the challenges of this journey with patience, and let me be among those whose supplications You answer.
O Allah, I ask You to protect me from all harm and danger during this pilgrimage. Keep me safe from illness, harm, and any form of evil. Guide my steps towards what pleases You, and make every action I take during this Hajj a reflection of Your divine will. Accept my repentance, O Allah, and allow this journey to be a means of erasing my past mistakes and transgressions.
O Allah, I ask You to grant me a heart filled with sincerity, a mind focused on You, and a soul that remains devoted to Your worship throughout this journey. Open my heart to Your remembrance, and grant me the ability to perform each act of worship with full devotion. Let every moment of this Hajj be an opportunity for purification, growth, and closeness to You.
O Allah, make this pilgrimage a means of intercession for me on the Day of Judgment, and for my loved ones. Forgive us all. Bless us with Your mercy and grant us Your forgiveness. Protect us from harm and grant us Your peace.
O Allah, You are Al-Shafi (the Healer), cure all those who are sick, both in body and in soul. You are Al-Qawi (the Strong), give me the strength to face any challenges, and the patience to endure any difficulties. You are Al-Rahman (the Most Merciful), envelop me in Your mercy, and shower me with Your blessings.
O Allah, make this Hajj a source of peace and tranquility for my heart. Remove any anxiety, worry, or fear that I may carry within me. Replace it with a deep sense of contentment and trust in Your divine plan. Grant me success in all my endeavors, and make my journey towards You one of ease and peace.
O Allah, I ask You to make me a source of benefit to those around me. Let this Hajj not only be a personal journey but a means of contributing positively to the lives of others. Let my actions, my words, and my intentions be aligned with Your will. And, O Allah, I place my full trust in You, for You are the best of planners and the most generous of providers.
O Allah, grant me the strength to be a better person after this pilgrimage. Let me return from Hajj with a heart that is purer, a soul that is more peaceful, and a mind that is focused on Your worship. May I carry the lessons learned here and embody them in my daily life, always striving to please You in all that I do.
O Allah, You are the Most Gracious, the Most Generous, the One who listens to all prayers. I ask You to grant me Your mercy and make me among those who will receive Your forgiveness. Accept my Hajj, make it a means of purification, and let it be a stepping stone towards eternal success in the Hereafter.
Ameen
⚠️DISCLAIMER: first i am over 18 and i am not asking these questions out of hatred, disrespect, or doubt in Islam. I am a sincere Muslim who has questions in my heart and mind that I want to understand better. My goal is to learn and strengthen my faith by seeking clear answers based on the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah. I appreciate respectful and knowledgeable discussion.
In Islam, it is a core and clear belief that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the final prophet, the Seal of the Prophets, and no prophet will come after him. This is explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ. However, Islamic eschatology also teaches that Prophet Isa (Jesus) will return before the Day of Judgment to fulfill certain roles and complete important tasks.
This creates several important questions that I want to understand more deeply and clearly, because these topics often cause confusion or are avoided:
If Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the last and final prophet sent by Allah, how can Prophet Isa come back again? Isn’t Isa also a prophet? If so, how can another prophet appear after the “final” prophet? Does this mean the belief in the finality of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ’s prophethood is not entirely true? Or is Isa’s return something different like he is no longer a prophet, but rather returning in a different role?
It is said that Isa will return to defeat Dajjal (the false messiah), restore justice, and lead believers. If Muhammad ﷺ is the greatest and final prophet, why is Isa given this critical mission? EVEN THOUGH its his time? Couldn’t Prophet Muhammad ﷺ have done this himself if he is the last and greatest? What does Isa’s return say about his status compared to Muhammad ﷺ? Is Isa considered superior in some way?Maybe more then a prophet?
Muslims believe that Muhammad ﷺ is the most beloved and honored of all creation. Yet, Muhammad ﷺ passed away and is no longer alive in this world. Meanwhile, Islamic belief holds that Isa was raised up alive by Allah and did not die, and that he is still living and will return. Why would the most beloved and honored prophet die while Isa remains alive? Does Isa’s continued life mean he is more special or more loved by Allah? How do we reconcile this difference?
Isa was born miraculously without a father a unique and extraordinary event among prophets. Christians believe Isa is the son of God, or even God himself. From an Islamic perspective, what does Isa’s miraculous birth mean? Does it make him more than a prophet? Is there any truth in the Christian claims from an Islamic point of view, or is Isa purely a human prophet with a special miracle?A god?
I want sincere, Qur’an-based and Sunnah-based answers to these questions because these issues affect our understanding of fundamental Islamic beliefs. Clear explanations will help avoid confusion and strengthen faith.
I don’t want to get into it but something bad happened today, and it was something I totally couldn’t have predicted happening but it happened and my mom is so mad at me and I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do and I just need a sign that it’s gonna be okay. I don’t want her to hate me and I don’t want this to affect me for the rest of my life. Please pray for me I don’t know what else I can do
Assalamualaikum What should i do about it? Would going to therapist be enough? I wonder if anyone else face this maybe they have suggestions. I genuinely want to change and tired of ocd consuming me. Thank you. Jazakallah khair
Like what's the minimum meal for each person , I heard it's what you would normally feed your household , but isn't that too vague ? Is there anything more specific
Hi everyone. This might be a dumb question but there is no other area I can ask this. So is it haram for women to go to hair salon? I asked my mother but she shut me off and immediately said it's haram. I asked for what aayath where mentioned or hinted towards it but she isn't saying anything. She is really strict with these type of things so I'm here to ask. Thank u so much.
Assalamualaikum, I have a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now. Hypothetically, if one used to smoke and backbite, but he sincerely repented to Allah. A couple years later he sees that all his friends smoke and backbite. They ask, "Don't you smoke?" And he answers, "I've repented." Is he sinful?
Now of course I know it's a silly question, but, I can't stop wondering.
May Allah guide us and forgive us all.
So I have three cats, two of whom are very loving and affectionate towards me. Every time I pray, they come running to the room I’m praying in and rub themselves all over my legs. When I make ruku, they jump to give me a kiss on the nose. When I make sujud, they rub their heads on my head and even sometimes try to play with my head in that position. When I say the shahada and lift my finger, they rub their faces all over my finger. So I can’t help but scratch their heads while they do this. I only pet them minimally, in attempt to acknowledge them so they can stop trying to get my attention, but also because I love them and think that loving your pets and treating them lovingly is also a form of ibada. Is there anything against doing this? It happens during all of my 5 prayers. Someone recently told me it’s haram and I was shocked to hear that. First time posting in this community so please be kind 🙏
سُورَةُ المَعَارج
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ [ الآيه 4 ]
This verse confirms that because of the concept of Time Dilation, 50 Thousand Years for Us is 1 Day for Angels travelling to Allah with matters and affairs. With that also proves that they can significantly faster than the Speed of Light. So, The One who made Light can make things go Faster than that.
2) سُورَةُ الجِن
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا [ الآيه 9 ]
This one proves that Jinn used to Listen to the News of the Heaven by travelling to the Lowest Heaven (السماء الدنيا), Which means Jinn can also travel the speed close to that to do it. But, that was closed with the Coming of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. So, whoever does it now will have شهاب after them.
3) سُورَةُ النَّمل
قَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهُ قَالَ هَٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّي لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ ۖ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّي غَنِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ [ الآيه 40 ]
This one proves Jinn being able to move fast. Them bringing Her Throne to Sulaiman before He can even blink.
4) سُورَةُ يسٓ
لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ [ الآيه 40 ]
This one defines the motion of Planets as يسبحون (swimming), not يدورون (orbiting). Because I think, They ARE swimming in either "Dark Energy" (The think that keeps them in Orbit), or Space-Time Fluidity. Also, the think which is in Most of Space Though we can't see it. So, technically, "Swimming" is a more right word for it.
5) سُورَةُ الأنبيَاء
وَمِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مَنْ يَغُوصُونَ لَهُ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَافِظِينَ [ الآيه 82 ]
So, I think, Jinn يغوصون (diving) for Sulaiman, is not in reference to Ocean (or may-be it is), rather it's in reference to Space-Time, because they could and it makes more sense to me, and the fact of them Making the Things That They were Making.
I lost my father five months ago. He had been bedridden for the past one and a half years — completely confined to bed. Over the last year, he became just a skeleton.
I was his caregiver. I tried my best to be with him and provide as much comfort as I could. I was the one who silently took care of everything — from changing his diapers to many other things.
I’ve been through so much. My father’s death has shattered me. But after all this, Allah answered my prayers. My father used to pray for me, even when he was extremely sick.
The good memories I have of him have faded, and only the last two years are stuck in my mind. I can’t get through this. He was in so much pain...
In his final days, I took him to the hospital, and he was admitted. I stayed with him day and night. But the moment I left — just 20 minutes later — he passed away.
Was I not worthy to hold his hand during his last breath? Why didn’t Allah allow me to be there in that moment? Why couldn’t I see him take his last breath?
سُورَةُ المَعَارج

سُورَةُ السَّجدة
يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

I was doing the first prostration of forgetfulness then sat up and didn’t remember if I said the entire tashahhud so I repeated tashahhhd and did two prostration of forgetfulness again, is salah valid and did I do the right thing?
I need it and u NEED TO HELP ME
Hello Brothers And Sisters my mother is very ill and I’d really appreciate if you made DUA for her so allah can inshallah heal her. This is my first ever post on here and I’ve been making DUA myself but I’ve heard how powerful a strangers DUA can be. Inshallah your prayers will be answered as well as mine, and may allah grant everyone Jannah.
I have a request for prayers from you all. Life has taken a turn which I didn’t expect. I know I have been sinful. I ask Allah to forgive me. I have a lot of family problems and mental health as well. Please pray for forgiveness and guidance for me and my family
Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuh
I am on my way to visit a Muslim brother who had a stroke. The doctors have given him only a couple of days to live. What should I say Islamicly when I visit him and the family.
Jazakallah
i get terrible thoughts about islam. so bad i can’t even share. i have to rush through my namaz, avoid islamic videos. i have my wedding soon and i think what if it doesn’t happen because of these thoughts? i get thoughts like “i hope the wedding doesn’t happen” when i do want it to happen. i tell Allah no please don’t accept that thought, i want the it to happen. i tell Allah to please not punish me. i have a hard time believing something good can happen to me. my life is miserable. feels like the only reason i’m hating the bad thoughts is because i don’t want the worldly blessings to be taken away and not because i have genuine respect for my deen. i’m always anxious. there are atleast 10 thoughts per second in head. feels like i’m living on the edge. i want to turn my brain off.
I’m struggling with my prayer where allahamdulillah I am able to pray them all on time (very few exceptions), the concentration (Khushoo I think what it is called) has just worsened over time. Before I did have struggle with concentration in my prayer but it was never this bad. This only happened recently and what’s worrying me is the duas I am making are coming true. It just feels weird knowing that my prayer quality has declined but my Duas are coming true. I saw online about how you can get rid of the shaytaan that causes this but even doing that it doesn’t help.
Did I commit gheeba (backbiting) in this situation?
My mother told me that my cousin (around 22 years old) asked her for money, and she seemed stressed about it and cried to me. I wanted to give her some advice, so I said something like: “She’s 22 and can work, it’s 7chouma (shameful) that she’s asking you for money.” I didn’t mean to speak badly about my cousin — I just wanted to protect my mother from potential financial abuse.
According to Islamic teachings (especially the Hanafi school), would this be considered gheeba? Or is it allowed since I had a protective intention?
Please someone help me… I’m terrified
I've been saying this boy for almost 4-5 months now and I really love him he's also Muslim. I'm really attached to him I really wanna leave for Allah but I really love him.he once blocked me cuz he thought he was bothering me, after he blocked me I cried for the whole day and even though of suicide my heart felt so heavy I really loved him.i don't know what to do..I don't wanna feel the way I felt after he blocked me again..what do I do
I studied 2 years post graduate and finished all my exams and passed everything but before graduating I made an error and lied which led me to be removed from the course left without the qualification. This was about 6 months ago. I still feel down about it some days since it would have been a direct pathway to a good job in medicine but at the same time i feel peace in thinking this is a test from Allah to see how i will react to loss of career/ education (which is something super important to me).
So what do you think - is this a test or just a consequence of my actions?
I have been making dua about something specific for some time now and not seeing any signs of improvement. I plan on continuation my duas even if it takes a lot of time but i am afraid i am a bad musim and my sins will stop my duas from being accepted. Sometimes out of laziness or just out of inconvenience i sin. I do not want to get into specifics but i mostly wanted to ask how will this affect my dua. I have been feeling very bad mentally these past few months even though i have increased my islam and good deeds. I have started to pray more on time and consistently, praying tahajjud and trying not to skip jummah. If possible i would like to fix myslef more in the comming months but i can't seem to let go of some sins. I have been extremely stressed and sometimes my eyes start to tear while sleeping or in sujood. I am really worried my sins are holding back my dua.
I donated a small amount of money but in the back of my mind its for selfish reasons so the people who manage the charity will see my name and etc. i thought i did it for the sake of Allah but im having seconds thoughts thinking it might be for selfish reasons
I'm genuinely curious and also looking for hope.
For anyone who consistently or even occasionally prayed Tahajjud, did you feel your duas were answered? What was your situation, what did you ask for, and how did things unfold afterward?
I'm going through something deeply personal and have started praying Tahajjud, putting my faith in Allah. I want to hear real stories of hope, patience, and even delay to strengthen my heart.
JazakAllah Khair in advance.
the title is slightly misleading. I have a condition that causes chronic fatigue and brain fog, and if I interrupt my sleep for any reasom I am completely exhausted for the rest of the day. I don't even know how to explain it, it's like no matter how much I sleep after Fajr I'm so tired, like I could sleep through the entire day for 24 hours ( and I am actually falling asleep, i don't just feel tired). I nearly missed Zuhr today because I was in bed at 3 in the afternoon. And my brain feels like mush, like when you've got a really bad cold and you can't even think of anything complicated
on the other hand I hate missing Fajr. It's my favourite way to start the day. More importantly, I'm just not sure if this is bad enough for me to miss Fajr because the actual Fajr isnt the problem! It's everything after . Like today I spent 3 hours doing half an hour worth of homework and the only thing I did around the house was half of the dishes and I helped my mother make a very simple meal (no cooking involved). But I can survive, I'm alhamdullilah not bed bound, I just can't do anything else.
when I googled it I couldn find any relevfat was. Any advice will help jazakllah
My ( Allah's warrior ) interpretation of the word. If you like it, you may adopt it in life, and suggestions and query lets discuss in comment. Salamalaikum
The first verse revealed in the Qur'an was:
"Iqra' bismi rabbika allathee khalaq"
(اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ)
Translation: "Read in the name of your Lord who created."
(Qur'an, Surah Al-‘Alaq 96:1)
In literal sense, this "read" is taken by many to read quran only. But god send us quran, as a guide to whole humankind, whether man or woman, Asian or African, poor or rich ( i mean everyone ). And if you wanna follows gods command its your duty to read quran and the books of your academy and be the best at it ( its the first command of the god to everyone ). In some culture, girls are restricted to study but thats totally wrong. Even our prophet, fought for girls right, he forbidden the killing of girl infants, selling of the mothers after father's death, limited the amount of woman a man can marry to 4 so that man in power may not misuse their power to have thousands of wife. And in current era, its Full on my blogger post
I genuinely want to get married and settle down with the person Allah has written for me (my naseeb), but my parents haven’t been supportive or proactive in helping me find someone. I've tried to search for potential matches on my own, but nothing has worked out—and honestly, Astagfirullah, I don’t want to continue seeking a man by myself.
I’ve spoken to my parents, but my father keeps saying there’s still plenty of time. The truth is, I’ve never been truly serious about marriage until recently. His recent health issues really shook me, and made me realize how important it is to have a proper support system and to make the right decisions in life.
I pray that I don’t fall into anything sinful in the future. I just hope, Insha’Allah, that I get married soon to a righteous man who is truly compatible with me. Ameen.
As-salāmu alaykum. I am currently working a job at a gas station as cashier. As cashier i have to give people tobacco products from back and scan other alcoholic and haram products and bag them. I also have to pay out lottery tickets and make them at a machine. I found a job at a halal pizza place but my parents tell me to stay at this one because I am at walking distance from home and they say I'm not promoting any of the haram stuff so it's not sinful for me and it's only temporary until I start to go to college (I'm in high school currently) and the masjid is at walking distance too so i go pray on my breaks. Should I stay at this job and listen to parents?
I try not to do sins and am usually successful and hardly ever do sins, but if I do I be scared for my life that Allah (SWT) will punish me severely no matter the sin, whether it’s major or not, I feel as if all my duas will be rejected and I will be punished immensely, is this right thinking or no?
Salam Alaykum brothers and sisters,
As you guys have probably heard, there is often an argument Christians will cite as the Islamic Dilemma, in which in Chapter 10, verse 94 of the Qur’an, Allah Azzawajal advises the Prophet SAW that if he is in doubt of the stories of the Prophets (PBUT), then ask the people who have been given the previous scripture (i.e Jews and Christians). However, there are many other verses alluding to similar points, like 5:47, 5:68, 3:3-4.
However, many Christians will take this verse alone to be full confirmation of the Bible and Torah, which is completely incorrect, as any sane reader can tell from the context. Hence, I have made a small argument defending this. If you guys would like to use it, feel free so we can spread the Haqq, and may Allah the Lord of All Worlds reward me and you. And, feel free to change it to your liking and let me know any ways I can strengthen it, I was pretty lazy with it:
Thesis: Christians often bring up what they call the “Islamic Dilemma,” which claims that the Qur’an affirms the Bible in its current form, so Muslims are supposedly stuck—either the Bible is trustworthy (and Islam contradicts it), or the Qur’an is wrong for affirming a corrupted text. But this argument falls apart when you actually read the Qur’an in context, instead of pulling out slogans.
Let’s take the commonly quoted verse: Qur’an 10:94 –
“If you are in doubt about what We have sent down to you, ask those who read the Scripture before you.”
This is not a blanket endorsement of the entire Bible. Read the surrounding verses. The chapter is talking about previous prophets, their stories, and the message of tawheed (monotheism). The point is: if the Prophet—or by extension, any skeptic—is in doubt about whether God really did send prophets before, or whether the stories of Moses, Noah, Jonah, etc., are real, then go ask the Jews and Christians. Even they affirm these stories. It’s like saying: “If you doubt whether there was an Exodus, go ask them—they’ll confirm that.” That’s it. However, there are many other verses alluding to similar points, like 5:47, 5:68, 3:3-4. These can be refuted as well, but it only takes one verse to break it down.
Now Christians will try to reinforce this “dilemma” by quoting other verses:
Qur’an 5:47 – “Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein…”
But this doesn’t mean the current New Testament. The Qur’an speaks of al-Injil—a singular Gospel revealed to Jesus—not the later writings of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. If anything, the Bible as we know today is just biographies and testimonies, not revelation in a complete sense. Christians can’t show us this original Gospel. However, we can!
In Sahih al-Bukhari 4953: “Waraqah used to write the Hebrew scriptures. He would write from the Gospel (Injil) in Hebrew as much as Allah willed for him to write.”
This hadith (Bukhari 4953) says Waraqah used to write from the Injil in Hebrew as much as Allah willed. That’s clearly not the four Gospels of the New Testament. First, those were written in Greek, not Hebrew. Second, they were written decades after Jesus, not revealed to him. The Injil in Islamic belief refers to the direct revelation given to Jesus—something more like a scripture, not a biography. So this hadith supports the Qur’an’s view: that the Injil existed, was partially known, and was gradually lost or distorted. It wasn’t the NT canon we have today. That completely undermines the “Islamic Dilemma” argument, which assumes the Qur’an affirms the full modern Bible. It doesn’t.
Moreover, The four Gospels were originally written in Greek, and there’s no evidence that they had been widely translated into Hebrew in the Arabian Peninsula during Waraqah’s time (early 7th century CE).
Now let’s flip the “dilemma” back on the Christians.
Here’s the real dilemma: Jesus tells people to follow the Pharisees.
Matthew 23:2–3 (ESV):
“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.”
This is a massive problem. Jesus literally tells his followers to obey the Pharisees because they sit on Moses’ seat, which means they’re the authorities over the Torah—including the written and oral law. This would include the full scope of Mosaic law: dietary rules, ritual purity, the Sabbath laws, even polygamy. That’s how Judaism worked. Pharisaic tradition was the foundation of Second Temple Judaism.
But then in Matthew 15:1–20, Jesus directly challenges the Pharisees’ traditions, calling them man-made. So which is it? Obey everything they say because they sit on Moses’ seat? Or reject their oral laws because they “nullify the word of God”?
You can’t have it both ways. Christians today reject most of the Torah, and definitely the oral law (what eventually became the Talmud). Which is heavily seen in the Letters of Paul, where he constantly reminds people that their works are in vain, and they are saved purely through faith. Yet, Jesus commands people to obey the ones who taught and preserved it. To really reinforce this dilemma; in Matthew 5:19, Jesus says: “Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
And even more ironic—when Christians point to the Qur’an affirming “the Gospel” or “the Torah,” they ignore that it speaks in the singular: al-Injil and al-Tawrah. When Muslims say Injil, it is referring to the GOSPEL OF JESUS. The Qur’an never endorses the New Testament canon (which can be proved through Hadith itself as provided earlier) or the full Pentateuch plus oral rabbinic commentary. It affirms the original revelations given to Jesus and Moses—not later redactions, commentaries, or church councils.
In other words, Christians can’t escape their own bind:
If they follow Jesus, they’re supposed to obey the Pharisees’ teachings, including Torah law.
If they don’t, then they’ve abandoned Jesus’ command.
However, if you would like to say this is not the case, but that Jesus is just GENERALLY confirming what the Pharisees teach, i.e repentance, keeping the law, charity, worship, etc, then you would have to be charitable and accept that the Qur’an also GENERALLY confirms the scripture.
Muslims are simply affirming that God revealed scriptures to earlier prophets—but that human hands altered them. The Qur’an’s recognition is general and principled, not a stamp of approval on every page of the modern Bible.
Also, the fact that the Bible is considered revelation is a laughable claim. They can’t even be considered real eyewitness testimonies! Luke himself says in Luke 1:1-3 he is not a real eye witness, and is just taking from other traditions. But that’s for another discussion!
Assalamu Alaikum brothers and sisters, so I have a question. I was an atheist for a good 10-9 years and last year, Alhamdulillah, during Ramadan I picked up Islam again (my entire family is Muslim) and now it’s gonna be one year since I started practicing it and praying,… etc. Now, I have very bad memory issues and I can’t remember if I even said my shahada, because during ramadan of last year, I fasted the entire month because I wanted to give Islam another try. I didn’t pray, I did make duaa almost everyday and fast all 30 days excluding menstrual period, I don’t remember if I did say the Shahada with the intention of coming back to Islam but I do remember saying it at some point. Now does it mean that I am actually Muslim and are my past sins forgiven or do they still count? While researching, at some point, I saw that once u revert to Islam, your sins get erased, before u became Muslim, so when u revert to Islam u are basically like a newborn baby. I don’t know if that also counts for people who were previously Muslim (non-practicing) and then became atheist and became Muslims again. I’d love to hear more opinions on this as I myself am quite confused. Thank you for the feedback if u do give any.
I am a Sinner. I repeatedly sin, and I want to repent and I try to, but if I’m honest, when I sin, I don’t feel bad, it feels like my heart is sealed, and I’m so embarrassed about what I sin about that even being on an online platform thats anonymous I can’t open up about it. All I know is that I don’t want to be put in the hellfire, that’s why I sort of fear what I’m doing. And I know people are gonna reply and say “the fact that you’re embarrassed about it tells you that your heart isnt sealed”, certainly doesn’t feel that way. Because I do it repeatedly, I pray 2 rakats of repentance, but I don’t feel it in my heart. My repentance is not sincere, and I fall back to my old habits within a couple days. I acknowledge what I’m doing is wrong, but I honestly like genuinely don’t feel bad about doing it, not in my heart. I know it’s destructive, I know it’s bad for me, and I still do it.
I have found especially in the past 2 years of my life nothing has gone my way. Not just that, but things take the worst turn imaginable, and I keep trying to get up, I keep trying to fight the setbacks, but I keep failing, time and time again. Is this some sort of divine Justice? Is this a punishment for me sinning?
Yes I sin, but I also pray almost 5x a day every day. But with that, how are people who are not Muslim and indulge in the same behaviour and worse not getting their Justice? I have worked the hardest I’ve ever worked in the past 2 years, and it feels like it has gone unrewarded
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Is there any notable hadith on biblical corruption? I only know the ones of Ibn Abbas in Bukhari Volume 9 Book 93 Numbers 613-614, is there any others where Mohammad is speaking about the topic?
Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters. I have a question on whether or not this is okay during salah.
Usually, I speak to myself while praying, always in arabic. In my head, or even in a whisper I will say the english translation naturally because that's really when I understand the meaning. It usually makes praying feel more meaningful to me but I have no idea if this is forbidden or invalidating my prayers.
Please let me know what your opinion is on this, Jazakallah Khairun
