Why do all able Muslims have to visit the Mecca once in their lifetime?
Also, while I’m here, what misconceptions do people have about Islam?

Assalamualaikum everyone.
I have always been praying for Allah to guide me in every situation in life… However, I recently made one of the worst decisions of my life and there is absolutely no going back. I was not prepared yet I hastily made this decision. This, tbh, feels like a punishment from Allah for my sins…Not the very first time I took a decision as such and regretted . Each time the consequences of such decisions were horrible and I fear this time it would just be the same. I request everyone to make prayer for me so that some sort of miracle happens and this phase goes well…

My brother was getting involved in bad habits. Using bad language, throwing trash under the bed, not studying and then crying on the last day and basically ruining my mother's life. My mother gets really anxious about his grades and spends a lot of time teaching him and persuading him to study. I tried to be the older brother and stepped in. I tried scolding him but at the end of the day my mother always took his side.
This one time he came back from school and started using bad language. I got angry and told him to shut it. He then started cursing at me, I started moving towards him to hit him but my mother jumped in and literally shoved me back. She didn't even scold him or anything and he laughed at me.
After that I basically gave up and we both stopped talking to each other since then and we haven't spoken for about an year now. Literally zero words exchanged.
Now the problem is that he is getting himself involved with bad friends. I heard him and his friends talking about ma****bating to girls online. Since last year he is getting worse. He has started listening to rap music, his friends are vape and talking about females level bad but not drugs or anything... I hope. He doesn't pray and mostly does whatever he wants.
At this point I don't know what to do. Should I advise my mother to be more strict on him or should I do something about it. I really don't know and would appreciate your advice.

I'm a 20-year-old Muslim living in a Western, non-Muslim country. Growing up, I’ve always distanced myself from women my age — partly because of my religious values and partly to stay focused on my personal and financial goals.
There were a few occasions (maybe four times) where women showed personal interest in me, but I always kept my distance and made it clear I wasn’t interested. To be honest, I wasn’t physically attracted to them, so it didn’t feel like I missed anything.
Yesterday, though, I worked a one-day job with a new group. There was a beautiful woman there — blonde, Russian-Finnish mix — who was completely my type physically. She started showing interest, even though I initially kept things short and work-related. But she kept initiating conversation, and I eventually saw it as a chance to practice my social skills with women — and maybe also to prove to myself that I can attract women I find attractive.
We mainly talked about work and a bit about our personal lives. Toward the end, I complimented her looks and she returned the compliment. That was it — all respectful, and we were always in a public space.
The reason I'm writing this is because, even a day later, I’m still thinking about her more than I expected. On one hand, it’s motivating — it reminds me why I need to stay focused on my financial and life goals. But on the other hand, I feel a bit distracted and emotionally unsettled. It’s not exactly a bad feeling, just unfamiliar.
Part of me wants to get to know her better. But I also know it would be difficult to pursue anything serious in a way that aligns with my Islamic values — especially since that would require things to move toward marriage early. I also feel conflicted because I know, logically, that a practicing Muslim woman would probably be a better long-term match for me. But I rarely find myself physically attracted to Muslim women, which adds to the confusion.
To clarify: it's not that Muslim women themselves aren't attractive — it's more about the familiar look and cultural background of the countries many Muslim women come from. Since I live in a Western, non-Muslim country and come from a Muslim family, I subconsciously associate those appearances and cultural traits with my own relatives and upbringing. It feels more like “family” than “potential partner,” even though I know that's not a fair or logical conclusion. On the other hand, women from different cultural backgrounds don’t trigger that same familiarity, so I naturally view them more as romantic possibilities. I realize this mindset isn’t ideal, and I’m trying to understand it better.
I won’t stay in contact with the woman I met. Even though part of me is tempted to keep talking to practice my social skills, I know that could be misleading or even hurtful for both if we developed feelings. That’s not something I want to cause — even unintentionally.
One last thought: I’ve read that Russia and Finland has one of the highest divorce rates and while many Russian women are considered traditional (which I appreciate), they’re also not necessarily submissive to their husbands — which makes things more complex when thinking about long-term compatibility. It’s something I’m still trying to figure out.
I’m sharing all this to get it off my chest, and maybe hear from others who’ve been in similar situations. How do you deal with the conflict between attraction, values, and long-term goals?

Peace be upon you brothers and sisters. My name is Chris. I am a revert. My question is in regards to my father. He passed away when I was 16. I've been in possession of his ashes for 25 years. He didn't know anything about Islam. My imam told me I should bury him where ever I like. There is a place that I think would be great. However because he was not Muslim, I don't know how to pray for him. From what I understand Janazh prayer is not permissible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Salam.

السلام عليكم،please read the whole thing I’ve been struggling with a severe neurological disorder called narcolepsy, I committed a sin that lead to this diagnoses. for the past year and a half , and it’s been progressively getting worse, and rn I’m at the point where I can’t even get out of bed and walk, some days I’m able to walk and that’s literally been. It’s SO MUCH WORSE than words can even come close to describing. I have almost no sense of reality it’s like I’m in a constant dream, and the symptoms are just so severe like it’s so bad. Wallahi I’ve cried my eyes out, broken down in ways I haven’t before. Everyday feels like the closest someone can get to jahanam on earth. There are some days where I’m able to walk and on those days I pray, I do thikr, I try. But on the days I can’t (most) I start missing prayers, and I get bad thoughts all day I don’t even wanna mention what kind you guys already know. And i would feel ashamed to pray while sitting or laying down bc it’s like I’m capable it’s just like dragging a 500 pound weight from my body to just walk! Wallahi like I would give anything to feel normal again this has been the worst year of my life by FAR. Is this a punishment? Or a lesson? Ya rab. Please help me guys I’m starting to have really bad thoughts.

Salaam, this is going to be wierd so i want to apologize in advance. I am a muslim man from India. I come from a fairly conservative muslim family and have been a practicing muslim all my life.But,I am addicted to masturbation. I was first exposed when I was 12 years old when two guys were talking about it and then they also told me. I used to live in a village when I was young and our culture was very much influenced by hindu culture and cinema.That led to creation of a hypersexualized society where I was exposed to a lot of sexual stuff even though I was not seeking it. I also became very lonely during my adolescence because both my parents were working so I had a lot of time alone at home and no friends because school friends used to envy me as I was really good at studies and children near my home used to make signs of fingering me when I was around cuz I had a bigger butt, so I cut ties with them. This lead to me having sort of a gender identity crisis at 13-14. But these things got resolved when I got a bit older. All of this and a lot more resulted in me developing a generalized anxiety disorder when I was around 18.I went to a psychiatrist for it and took medications but that did not help. Now I am at a point in life where nothing brings me joy, I don't want to do anything, and I have serious self esteem issues. I am an average looking guy with average height for an Indian but I think of myself as extremely unattractive.I have decided never to marry as I don't think any girl will ever like me and I won't be able to sexually satisfy her as I think I have a small penis. This thought runs in my head constantly and I just can't think of anything else. I have made lots of dua, prayed a lot, read quran with translation and tafseer, tried exercising and running but nothing helps. I grown very distant from Allah and I don't want my life to be like this. I am just not able to quit all this and focus on my life and my studies.I have a lot of suicidal thoughts daily and I just don't know who tell as no one seems to know the answer to my problems. please help.

So I know that slander, particularly of chaste believing women is a major sin like zina and murder. But I want to ask what qaulifies as chaste? Is it just a believing girl whos never had any sexual contact but wears immodest clothing?
I ask this because recently a friend of mine and I were speaking and he called a girl in my class a whore and slutty (shes muslim and she didnt hear cuz this was just us talking) because she wears suggestive clothing, she was wearing a top and shorts, i dont rlly care wht a girl wears its her life anyways so I just frowned and moved the convo along.
This got me thinking, I do know the girl personally and know shes never dated a guy or had sexual situations with one, my friend doesn't know this and called her those terms only cuz of her outfit contrasting her religion.
Does this count as slandering a chaste woman in islam?
Tldr: frnd called a muslim girl a whore based of her outfit, shes never had any sexual relationships wit a guy, so i want to ask if this counts as slandering a chaste woman (the major sin)

Before I start, I want to make it clear that yes, I know being gay is haram, and I firmly believe that. I want to change.
Alhamdulillah, I pray all the prayers everyday, read the Quran, and visit the masjid, and while im not perfect and shamefully I do sin a little I try to make sure my good deeds outweigh the bad ones. My best friend, “O”, isn’t as connected to Islam, but he tries—at least, I think he does. We’re like brothers. There’s nothing I’ve hidden from him, and same goes for him. We hang out all the time, game together, and yeah, we do show more physical affection to each other than what’s typical in most guy friendships, but I always brushed it off as us just being that close.
However, as of not really recently, or more like I’ve finally stopped ignoring it—I’ve started to notice that “O”’s behavior toward me might not be… normal (I know, no shit). He treats me much differently than his other friends, and hes much more affectionate aswell. Deep down, I always kinda knew, but I think he’s gay. We’re both not bad-looking, and we do get hit on by women fairly often, but he always acts cold or rude. Whenever we’d talk about girls, he never seemed interested. And whenever I’d get passionate about something and start rambling, I’d catch the way he looked at me—those eyes, man… like the way you’d look at your wife when you’re in love. I kept trying to ignore it all these years because I doubted myself, but now I think I’m sure.
I’ve always been attracted to women, and I still am. I want to marry a wife and, inshallah, have kids—if she’s okay with that. But lately, I’ve been getting… non-women fantasies. And a lot of times, my mind goes straight to “O”. I know it’s wrong, but he’s been stuck in my head constantly. I know what attraction feels like, and I’m scared that I might be attracted to him. I don’t want to be gay. I want to make it to Jannah. And it’s not that I’m attracted to men—I’m not. It’s just that he feels different.
Please, just give me the hard truth. Tell me how to fix this mess. I’ve tried praying it away, and it’s still there. I’ve begged Allah for guidance, for anything, and I feel like I’ve gotten nothing. Insult me, call me out—whatever it takes—just please help.

Assalam Aleykom
I've seen that we could share some of our distressing moments here.
To make it short, I'm in a deep faith crisis, and it's not getting better. I feel like I'm slowly losing faith (some of it because of some matter regarding women and some rulings of Islam) and I'm just depressed to be alive. I can't love Allah nor Islam but I am Muslim and believe in it, it's just that I have no other choice, I don't wanna end up in Hell for eternity.
Life is distressing me, I just don't see the point of living and suffering in order to earn Paradise and therefore I can't love Allah. (hopefuly yet). I only see the punishment and all the rules and the fact that we have to suffer and I think I can't do it anymore. ( I don't come from a religious backround even though I'm born muslim, it's like i'm a revert and when I started practicing ten years ago, it just made me anxious and depressed tbh. The past 10 years have been rough )
When i try to reassure myself and kinda change perspective, I always have some thoughts that contradict the new positive reassuring arguments
I don't find Islam easy as they say and I'm deeply unhappy with my life. And I'm in literal distress, I don't wanna die non muslim but deep down i feel I don't even like the religion and I know I can't continue this way, I need to find how to love it because rn I'm almost becoming suic_idal, knowing that I'm trapped in this life makes me anxious and make me despair (not that I will attempt anything, I just wish I never were born in the first place, i'm just in distress and don't know what to do, I'm exhausted)
I've been to therapy, to a psych, I'm starting a new therapy soon but she's overbooked so i have to wait
I just read a comment on a reddit post talking about suicide that said "Allah loves you" and I just started crying
I'll stop here, but if any of you went through this, tell me how you could move on from it, and your duas are welcome (please)

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
I hope you're all doing well.
I have a question regarding online income in light of Islamic rulings. Many people today earn money through monetization on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, or blogging mainly through ad revenue.
My concern is Even if I create halal content (e.g., Islamic videos, tech reviews, education), the ads shown by these platforms are sometimes out of our control and may promote haram things (like music, alcohol, or dating).
So, is the income from such monetization considered halal? What do scholars and muftis say about this issue?
If anyone has authentic fatwas or scholarly opinions (especially from well-known institutions like Darul Uloom, Al-Azhar, etc.), please share. May Allah reward you.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

So yesterday I unfortunately committed kufr, because of an issue that's been bothering me for about two years now. Before, whenever that happened, I would immediately perform ghusl and take my shahada but it would happen again some time later. Instead of doing that, this time I took time to properly deal with the issue before retaking my shahada, so that my faith isn't threatened anymore. Question is, do I have to make up for the prayers I missed during that time (fajr, dhur and asr) and do I still have to make up for the days I missed during Ramadan, or does all of that not count anymore?

So there is this one guy who I met 3 year ago. We both mutually like each other but we just could not go for a Haram relationship. It just felt wrong like I am betraying Allah and my parents trust. We minimized our contact to the point of not talking for a whole year.
Recently I met him coincidentally and the feelings are still mutual. So this time I told him that we should get our parents involved. He is a uni student so I thought he would be hesitant but he talked to his parents.
In my case the topic of my marriage has not come up in my family yet . I prayed istikhara today to ask Allah to guide me to show me if this decision of mine is right. If I should even consider marriage with him.
After that I just had this feeling that I should go ahead and that Allah will take care of it.Another thing which I don't know if it can be considered a sign is a video popped up on insta which basically said that don't be hesitant to get married becoz of reasons like studying, age , occupation ,money etc.
Can I consider that a sign as well? Sorry for the long post guys.

I sat for my Physics exam on July 13. The written part was okay, but the MCQ didn’t go well. I might fail by just 1 or 2 marks — which means losing an entire year.
Since then, I’ve been trying my best: praying 5 times a day, making istighfar, Tahajjud, fasting, and staying away from every sin I used to fall into. I’ve truly changed myself — only for Allah.
I didn’t ask for an Amazing 1st class result — I just want to pass, for the sake of my parents. I cant make them sad..Please, make a du’a for me. Even 1 mark is easy for Allah. He is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem. I’m putting all my trust in Him.
May He accept all our du’as. Ameen.

14 years ago my sister ran away because of stupid reasons so my dad decided to cut ties with his extended family cuz he didn’t want them to find out. I heard that this is a major sin but I’m scared to break it to my dad because he has trauma based on his oldest daughter running away and I don’t want him to be reminded.

This is a question I've been wrestling with a lot lately, and I wanted to hear from my brothers and sisters here. It's a heavy topic, but it feels necessary to discuss.
From an Islamic perspective, we are told that children are a blessing from Allah (SWT). They are a joy, a source of peace, and a means for us to enter Jannah. The Qur'an and Hadith emphasize the importance of raising a righteous family and the immense reward that comes with it.
But what about the suffering that seems so unavoidable in this world?
We see so much hardship, pain, and injustice. Children are born into poverty, wars, corruption and difficult circumstances. They face illness, loss, and emotional struggles. Even in the most blessed of lives, there is no escape from some level of trial and sadness.
How do we reconcile the idea of bringing a child into this world with the fact that they will inevitably face suffering? I'm genuinely trying to understand this. What are your thoughts? How do you view this from a place of faith?

I have bpd, (used to have ocd and still lingering) and depression. I fully quit praying every. Single. Week. Usually the reason is that I get hit with this overpowering feeling that nothing is worth it and lose any motivation to be better. It’s clearly not just laziness since I used to pray daily in 2023-2024.
I start praying again because my life gets worse. My physical health problems get worse and my depression as well. Everytime I pray and do istigfar something good happens, everytime I stop all the blessings get removed and I’m back to living a miserable life.
I’m tired of believing that god gives special treatment to messed up people like me clearly I get whiplashed for the same sins everyone else does. This is literal torture at this point. And here’s the worst part: I can’t get medical help because I haven’t informed my country that I moved back to my parents house because they would cut off a huge portion of my financial aid due to me being a student and my family earing a lot (I’m required to take out student loan instead). I have quite literally no option here. I have sent out hundreads of applications and been to mutliple interviews and nothing. My sibling on the other hand is securing jobs without lifting a finger, due to connections.
I’m sick and tired of this. How is this fair?? These are only the problems I mentioned because I’m suffering in every single life area. I’m mainly annoyed that god isn’t providing a way out of this mess. Everytime I start bettering myself I fall back. I’m struggling 24/7 with deen and life.

Hello! I have a friend from Pakistan who is moving in with me for a few months between college graduation and returning to her home country (we are in USA). I am letting her stay with me for free, which she is very grateful for (she is my friend of course!). However, she is so polite and because of this favor, I worry she may feel uncomfortable speaking up about what she needs at home regarding her religious practice. Islam is very important to her, she observes hijab, goes to mosque, etc. What can I do at my home to make her more comfortable and be respectful of her religion while she is living with us? Are there any special food requirements (besides halal meat) I should know about?
Thank you for taking the time to read!

Hello, I have recently turned back to islam around 2 weeks ago and I have been struggling a lot to forget all of the sins I have committed.
I have tried repenting to Allah but I feel, deep down, that I do not deserve forgiveness for anything I have done and it’s a feeling I cannot remove from myself. I find myself in momentary peace after performing salah or reading the Qur’an but shortly after I am consumed by the guilt of my sins. It’s not a thought that returns every once in a while, it’s always there, the belief that I am a terrible sinner and it is the only thought that is on my mind all day and night.
The moment I wake up all I can think of are my past sins, how awful of a person I am, it’s my last thought before bed and my only thoughts between. I am genuinely unable to get on with my life, I have stopped partaking in all of my hobbies, I can barely sleep or eat because theres always that horrible feeling of dread inside of me.
I was also in a relationship, but in these recent weeks I have been unable to get the girl i was with off my mind, I miss her so dearly to the point of tears and this desire is also followed by obscene amounts of guilt as I am also a girl, it’s a constant cycle and it’s haunting me.
I am also struggling with intrusive thoughts during prayer, horrible things which I would prefer to avoid mentioning invade my mind during prayer and these thoughts always come back, I also doubt my faith in Allah often times, whether Islam is the truth or not. I hate feeling like this and I just want it to stop.
I am too embarrassed to tell my parents or anyone close to me about this, I feel so alone in my struggles and I am drowning in them, I genuinely cannot function aside from praying or reading the Qur’an and I feel like a disgusting person, I am just posting to ask for some support or advice, I am begging for any advice that will help me out of this.

When I say intoxicated I mean those 40 days when prayers are invalid. I have an issue of smoking and I don’t pray but I want to start praying and also hope that god makes it easier for me to quit. My problem is i don’t think I can put down the weed at least not right now and the fact that I’m impure is what makes me want to pray, like kind of balance out the sins I guess. I know you don’t get reward for praying while impure but I’m not sure if duua is still accepted. To expand on the initial question I don’t know if the sin of not praying but not doing any substances is worse or less than the sin of praying impure (and still smoke). jazak

Hi,
I live in a town that has a large Muslim community. In my area there are a 7-8 mosques ma'sha Allah. I read my Friday prayers at a couple of these mosques.
Unfortunately, between the Khutbah and the namaaz, the general secretary of the mosque comes to the microphone and starts reading out a list of people who have donated to the mosque that week. It'll be something like: "Mr Hussain (of 123 Smith Lane) has donated £20 to the mosque, and has asked that we all pray for the wellbeing of his ill mother back in Pakistan". Or "Choudhury Arshad of random village in Pakistan has donated £10 and asked that we pray for x, y and z" etc,.
Now, I've had this debate with several friends and family. I believe it is wrong (haram maybe?) to announce to the world when you give charity. Let your left hand know not what your right has given etc,.
I also believe it annoys the jamaat to sit there and listen to this for 10mins (and sometimes considerably longer on Eid). The oldest mosque in my town (built by Pakistani/ Kashmiri immigrants in the 70s) has always done this. The other mosque that I attend used to do it less, but has gradually increased this in recent years.
What are your thoughts?

Hello, I’m traveling soon and I have placed my Qur’an in my shoulder bag, which I’m using as a carry-on. I just realized I also need to pack my slippers in the same main pocket. The slippers are not exactly clean, but I have wrapped them in a cloth bag.
I want to be as respectful as possible. Is it appropriate to keep them in the same compartment? I would really appreciate any guidance.
Thank you.

Salam Alykum, Everyone. My husband's brother has asked a family friend for a family member's number to get to know her for marriage purposes. However, I know for a fact that this person has fallen into haram multiple times, and I said they would not work. Nevertheless, the elders in the family think I'm just refusing for personality reasons, and they believe it's haram that we do not inform her or that we lie to my husband's family and say she already has someone. I'm conflicted about whether I should tell the elders of my family or not, as it is haram to tell someone's secrets. (FYI I only got married a month ago, and my husband and I currently do not live together, and he only saw her at my nikkah)

Assalamu Alaykum.
I've always been a monothiest (due to being Muslim) and will continue to be. I don't accept the theory that the universe materialised from nothing. However I came across an argument against monothiesm.
The argument was: "If God is unchanging, how can God perform a temporally-limited action, like affecting change on the temporal world? The argument says God could no be simultaneously a-temporal and the creator of all things, given that creation would require action and action requires a change of state, and God cannot undergo a change of state if God is experiencing an eternal present." They say how does God do any action, since an action takes time. Please help me with these doubts.

As-salamu alaykum, I don’t really have anyone to talk to, so I just wanted to share what’s on my heart here... I feel like I’ve wasted my life in this world. I’m divorced, with no children. I live with my parents and I witness their arguments every day. I can’t work because I became ill. I struggle with mental health issues, something similar to schizophrenia. I am officially recognized for this condition, but when people look at me, they can’t see that I’m sick, and they often wonder why I don’t work or why I’m not married. I am unable to drive, and honestly, my biggest victory is being able to sleep without having nightmares. But sadly, I have nightmares almost every single night, for years now. Every day feels like the trauma starts all over again. Most of the people I’ve met seem nice at first, but eventually they turn against me. I try to hold on to Allah, but sometimes I feel like I’ve made so many mistakes that it’s impossible to fix my life. I have siblings, but I still feel like I don’t belong anywhere. I don’t have any real friends. Every day I ask Allah to take my soul because I just don’t understand the meaning of all this pain. Thank you for reading my message.
