Assalamualikum everyone. I hope you’re all doing well.

i was a practicing and strong muslim but recently i’ve been feeling really abandoned and lost spiritually.

my father passed away around half a year back unexpectedly. while he was in the ICU we prayed for weeks but our duas wasn’t answered. right after he died i had such strong iman (not sure if it was some weird way of my brain protecting me from grief) and i was SO sure id see him and reunite with him in Jannah. but now im just so unsure. i feel terrible. i’m starting to get awful thoughts too like “why didn’t Allah answer my dua?” and so much more.

now i just feel like if think enough that i will for sure reunite with him in Jannah, ill actually believe it (fake it till you make it kinda situation). i do not understand why im lacking in iman so much now. its truly awful. i feel abandoned and lost. i’m not sure how else i can explain my situation but it’s genuinely really bad and ive been feeling like this for months. i genuinely feel like im faking my belief most of the time. how do i get better? how can i deal with this???

i apologize if some part of my posts seems offensive, it truly wasn’t my intention. i would genuinely appreciate any advices.

Growing up, I believed people who commit, go to hell for eternity, often heard that it's the only sin that Allah won't forgive. I feel like He knows that people suffer in ways, they cannot rationalize anymore. I know there's nothing worse than hellfire, but for some their life is just too harsh. Do you truly believe that our loving, merciful Allah is so excited to send his own to hell?

I’m agnostic , researched Christianity after learning about the trinity and the in authenticity of the Bible , I was not convinced. I now look to Islam. If Islam is not true I will just say not knowing. As I do my research, I’d appreciate it if some you would give me some reasons on why I should believe the claims of the prophet ( peace be upon him) and the Quran. Thank you

Salam Aleykum brothers and sister

Since childhood, I always thought I would never do something like gambling. I am with my girlfriend for four years, and now it’s time for us to get married. However, due to financial difficulties, I cannot afford 30k, even though I currently work at a good company. I’m not bad with money, don’t get me wrong but it’s really, really hard.

I have been doing some spot trading in crypto, and I never tried futures because I felt it might be haram. Of course, some people say even spot trading is haram, while others say futures can be halal, but I don’t want to start an argument. Still, I sensed something dark about it.

Out of desperation, I tried futures trading. I made some money, and I also lost some. But after a major setback, I prayed to Allah: if what I am doing is wrong, please reduce my account to zero. It is more important for me to have Your permission than to earn haram money.

Minutes later, I lost everything. And you know what? I felt a sense of relief. I lost a month’s salary, but deep inside, I was happy. I still am, although I feel a bit broke. Allah heard my prayers. I hope He will also show me the path to earn that amount in a halal way.

Thanks for reading, I just wanted to share.

Have a lovely and blessed life

Assalam alaykom! Both of my parents are.. incompetents at very low level.

Both of them are not good partners for each other, mom cheating on my dad with different men since I was a child, last time I faced her she pretended as that wasn't her and she doesn't do that and she will do better, she never apologise for anything instead she tries to find anyway to be correct even trying to gaslight me, her own son, so that she wins, at the end she changed her Facebook password and I still see the same Man in her conversations bubble. and dad always doesn't have money and thinks that paying his bills and providing for family are "gifts" not obligated on him, I told him if you can't handle your family why marry and bring us to the world, his reply is "it's my business", I told him about mom's bad habits and he attacked me instead lol, he told me to mind my own business and let her do whatever she wants.

I used to think that ุจุฑ ุงู„ูˆุงู„ูŠู† is very easy, We were taught from childhood that making our parents proud is the key to gaining Allah's pleasure, but now my biggest struggle is to make them proud and to be honest I don't think they will ever be.

They see me as investment and a way to correct their past mistakes and i will carve the way to richness, of course I want that, I want to repay them for what they did to me, but they made it feel like it's an obligation now more than something I want to do from my heart.

Mom can't keep her mouth shut at all, every little thing happens she goes straight to her sister and tells her everything, she thinks that we are more afraid of her sister and listen to her word more than her.

I don't have enemies in my life, 23 years and I never had someone who wants to sabotage my life, the only obstacle I started seeing these years are my parents.

They main goal is to see me in a foreign country, doing whatever to earn money doesn't matter good or bad, and send them what I earn.

I try to discuss this issue with them, telling them that I want to continue my studies (which i didn't because they wanted me to work) I want to stay in my country and have decent respectable life, I don't want to go to another country.

Suddenly they started having headaches and I am the "shaitan" of the family and a lot of yelling and they don't want to listen anymore.

She keeps pressuring me daily about anything that would get me to go to another country.

Seriously though How am I supposed to gain allah satisfaction if these two are my parents? Like there is must be something in Quran or any hadiith that will help understand my situation better? Because if there is not, I guess i signed my self free ticket to bottom of hell

Hello! I am a book with my friends, and one of my characters is Muslim (Twelver Shia). None of us are Muslim so I'm kinda starting my research for my character from scratch. The character is a female American living in NYC and is of Iranian descent. Some questions I have about Shia Islam (and Islam in general) are:

  1. Is the Quran only in Arabic? If it is, do non-Arabic speaking Muslims learn Arabic to understand it, or do they just memorize verses and their meaning?
  2. Do Muslims swear/involk Allah a lot? Do they involk/curse other religious figures (I forgot what they were called, but I think the figures were like the Islamic equivalent of Christianity's 12 Disciples since there were 12 of them)? Ik one Muslim YouTuber I watch says "ya Allah" usually at least once a video, and one Tumblr post I saw Muslims do, but when I googled it a lot of sources say they don't.
  3. Do hijabs differ between branch, culture, or both? Also, are niqabs and burkas considered hijabs, since they cover the entire body and not just hair, ears, and chest?
  4. What is halal dating? I've looked at various websites, but I don’t really understand it. Is it just like non-Muslim dating, but with a chaperone? Also, does the chaperone have to be a certain gender, or could it be male or female?
  5. Is the modestly of clothes determined by the wearer or the religious branch?
  6. Is the different types of Islam (like Sunni or Shia) called branches, schools, or something else?
  7. What are the differences between the Shia and Sunni branches? And between Twelver Shia and other Shia?
  8. Where do most Persian Muslims live in NYC?
  9. Is there anything the average non-Muslim probably doesn't realize/know about Islam?

This list will prolly get updated the more I write and think of things, but this is all I can thing of rn. ​​Thanks in advance!

I heard a song and sung along to a lyric of it and am now worried I commuted shirk. The lyric is “I found God in the bathroom stall, (like he found God in a moment where he was broken in a vulnerable of place) forgive my sins pray to saint Laurent". I didn’t realize until recently what the lyric actually said because of the accent especially the second part. Like I never actively said pray to st Laurent but said the first part and then mumble…st Laurent.

Obv I know music is a sin and this is haram in general, but now I’m worried about shirk

Whenever we see comments, replies and posts on the internet, we’ll often find people making fun of, lying about or just straight up insulting Islam, Allah or the Prophet(s) peace be upon them.

I just want to remind you that when reading such things, it might feel really bad, and it might make you angry, but just remember, what you’re seeing is the absolute, worst of the worst, rock bottom type of people and opinions.

Whenever you read people denying the genocide in Gaza or making fun of Allah, just know that most people aren’t like this, and the internet is a place where the loud minority get to speak, and are usually the ones getting the most attention.

I'm a revert and I feel existentially low and anxious most of the time. I have had chronic fatigue since leaving university a few years ago and it's made it hard for me to stay in employment. Alhamdulillah, life is objectively good in many ways, but I still feel low and I'm losing hope of getting better. I've recently been trying to surrender these struggles to Allah and accept them as part of my test in this life.

I often feel lonely at home alone or overwhelmed by the unpredictability of going out and spending the day with others (will someone call and plans suddenly change, will something fall through, or will the day become intense and I'll need to rest later, worrying about how I came across in conversations, etc.).

In the past I relied on self-help resources to 'get better' but now I'm putting my trust in Allah and still feel low and anxious. I see others struggle with real hardship. My life hasn’t been without grief, abuse or pain but I am ashamed that I do not feel my gratitude for life as much as I should - I am grateful but these negative feelings are stronger. May Allah keep us all strong in our faith and keep our hearts pure.

Any advice or shared experiences would mean a lot.

I hope everyone has done it already, but just in case: zakat-ul Fitr is the mandatory donation of food, or its monetary equivalent, given to the poor and needy by every Muslim who has food in excess of their needs at the end of Ramadan. It must be paid before the Eid prayer.

  • Who Pays: Every Muslim (adult or child) who has food in excess of their basic needs must pay on behalf of themselves and their dependents.
  • When to Pay: It must be paid before the Eid prayer.

Hello everyone. I’m writing this because I’m in a very difficult spot. My brother suffers from Psychotic Schizophrenia, and his stability depends on a monthly regimen of antipsychotics (Invega and Reagila).

Due to the economic crisis in Egypt, the cost of his meds has reached over 6,700 EGP (~$140) this month, which is more than my family can handle alone. I am looking for $100 (5,000 EGP) to ensure he gets his treatment on time and avoids a relapse.

I have all the prescriptions and medical reports ready for verification. If anyone can help with a donation or even a Qard Hasan (loan), please DM me.

I can accept transfers via Western Union. Any help or even a Du'a would mean everything to us. Thank you.

Hello, I'm posting this on a throwaway as my brother knows my socials

I’m living in a very difficult home environment in Southeast Asia (mind you, we are not natives to SEA). My mother is extremely controlling and uses religion as a justification for constant emotional and physical abuse. My father lives in another country and blindly supports her from afar, agreeing to punishments like cutting our internet during holidays without seeing the reality of what’s happening here.

The hardest part is my brother. Subhanallah, because of the abuse he’s suffered, all while being told it’s for the sake of religion and being a better person (which is a huge lie) he has completely turned away from Islam. He told me he doesn't believe anymore.

I understand where he is because I turned away from the Deen initially for the same reasons. The hypocrisy and the pain made me want to leave it all behind, but I eventually found my way back on my own terms. The last time he tried to be honest about his doubts, it ruined the family and put unimaginable stress on us. The response wasn't kindness; it was more abuse and I would rather put a gun in my mouth than live it again wallahi. Now, I’m the only one who knows the truth about how he feels.

I’m not going to force him to change or lecture him, as that was the thing that turned him away in the first place. I can see that his disbelief is a shield he’s using to protect himself from the pain my mother causes. My plan is to work hard, build a career, and eventually move to a stable environment where I can show my family the mercy and respect they never showed me.

How do I support a brother who is being driven away from his faith by the people who should be protecting him? How do I help him stay strong when the people in charge are making things so hard?

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. It all started when I had a panic attack during an interview. Before that, even preparing for it seemed heavy and my heart would start racing. I still have two more rounds of interviews left and I fear that it might happen again. I cannot prepare for the interview as I'm physically incapable of doing so anymore. I pray to Allah that he grants me the job despite of my limitations. However, since I'm unable to prepare for it, I cannot have Tawwakul in my prayer. I'm trying, I really am, to put in efforts, but everytime I open my laptop or look at the preparation content, I am filled with anxiety. It's like my brain has already given up. But I still want the job. I know only Allah can make it happen, but I'm struggling with my faith in my dua.

Has anyone experienced this and came out of it?

Make Dua Allah swt guides me and increases me in understanding of the religion and increases me in certainty, and that guides me to the path of purification, and that he increases me in high aspirations so that I am able to remember him abundantly and think of Allah the right way

May Allah bless all of yous who do make Dua for me, and likewise I’ll make Dua for all of yous, I’m not sure about this Hadith I hope someone can correct me but whoever makes Dua for someone Allah instructs the angels to make this same Dua but 10 times back, is this for another person or is this making salawat to the prophet honestly I’m confused…

But may Allah shower his mercy upon us all, SubanAllah I’m just really on the quest to figuring out how one can purify their heart, have high aspirations and rid oneself from the diseases of laziness, ignorance… may Allah guide us all and have mercy upon us all ameen :)

I'm terrified of doing mistakes in my salat because I feel like I'm not deserving of mercy, I know it's bad to think like this but it's so hard to not do it. Earlier I was breaking my fast and asking my parents about some mistakes I made while praying and my sister said that it looked like I was praying just out of fear and not out of love for Allah, I don't know how to fix it. For years, I've rejected Islam and I've lied about praying and fasting. I started praying again around 8 months ago and I'm still learning the basics of Islam, I never realized how many mistakes I used to make during my prayer until recently and I'm terrified of the thought of being seen as an hypocrite or someone not worth being loved by Allah. It's exhausting, I'm constantly scared of doing things wrong and this is making me delay worship. Even these last days of Ramadan are hard for me, at night I manage to pray Isha and a few rakats after then I try to make sincere duas and some dhikr but the next morning I just feel empty. I'm not sure if this is a test from Allah or if it's just me being pathetic and not worth being guided. I wanna start loving Allah more, same with the prophet Muhammad, I try to read more about him and try to follow the sunnah but I feel nothing when I do those things. I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm scared that I'm not worth being guided by Allah.

i have question that’s been on my mind for a while, i get that allah gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers but i always see people asking “why isnt allah helping the millions of children dying and being tortured and suffering every single day and a part of me is always like yeah why? This is all started because my mother and my grandma are genuinely the most religious people i know, they never ever seem to catch a break it’s always bad things happening after each other and it feels unfair. i know i shoudnt doubt allahs timing or allahs decisions but i feel so defeated i can’t help but hurt for them and it feels like if they do all this and really bad things happen to them do i even stand a chance? i’m trying my best and i always look up to my mother for being on her deen so much but now i can’t help but wonder and i can’t help but doubt everything’s arround me. The children affected in wars or in crimes, why? they can’t bear that so how does allah not give a soul beyond it can bear when it feels like he does. when you see those crimes of people who went thru unspeakable torture or things that are actually insane how does one get past this and think yeah it’s okay allah is testing me. why? what did i do to deserve this while horrible politicians and killers live their best life because “they’ll get their punishment in the afterlife” yet only i suffer for now. i hope i don’t get attacked for this because i mean no harm or hate im genuinely in despair and in need of any answers to help me because it feels like my iman is very low:

I honestly feel like there’s no point in Laylatul Qadr anymore. I feel like Allah (SWT) hasn’t accepted any of my duas even the small ones I ask for. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even see the point of Laylatul Qadr, because if my duas aren’t being accepted normally, what makes me think they’ll suddenly be accepted on that night?

I’ve been holding onto hope for a long time, but now I just feel exhausted and discouraged. I’ve even stopped praying salah and everything because I feel so disconnected. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could share their Laylatul Qadr success stories

Assalamualeikum wa Rahmatullahiwa Barakatu.

I don't really know who to go to in order to properly discuss this because it's such a ghost topic in our community. As muslim children of muslim parents (or not sometimes) we hear it over and over how we cannot disobey or dissociate from our parents unless they push us towards haram.

I agree with the fact that speaking with respect and compassion is essential for a good character, however, I struggle to actually show any kind of compassion or respect because I get yelled at during arguments. In fact, all I can do is remain silent to keep things at "Father is screaming and smashing my whole entire room"

I have a father who unfortunately isn't interested in learning how muslim men should behave. For him, praying sometimes and paying bills is perfection. There is no control of the nafs, or gentleness, or actual educational skills you are supposed to work for as you grow with your children.

By Allah I've come to a point where I dread coming back home after college. I think about it all day and it keeps me up at night : the fear of getting threatened with brutality, or pulled by the hair or insulted with the same words that Mary the mother of prophet Jesus heard.

And it starts over tiny things : my brother tells my sisters to not touch something and boom : he's getting barked at, dragged everywhere, then my mother gets blamed for not raising him correctly... Wallah I usually shut my mouth too, pretend I'm somewhere else but when it's ramadan and as fasting humans, we are valued in the "eyes" of Allah, I cannot take the injustice. Imagine the pillar of the house ruining iftar for his family, making some cry, some shake in fear...Who is he for me to fear him like that?

For the iftar situation, I tried to speak reasonably with my father : telling him gently that my sisters should sometimes behave as it is better for them. I do not seek pity by sharing that, but he shouted over me so much I said "fine, I'm not speaking to you then", and I made a motion with my hand.

He screamed he wanted to punch me till I fly across the room, spat at me, and poured hot coffee over my iftar plate.

This is just an example among too many.

The excuse is alwasy the same : "don't talk to your father like that"/ "ungrateful brat"/"Allah will burn you in hell if you rebell!"

But I'm fed up... I pray often that Allah calms my fears, and guides both my father and mother who enables him. Don't become kind, just stop hitting, screaming and threatening me.

I tell Allah how I can't stand injustice, and never meant for things to escalate. But scholars talk about patience like it's the only solution. I don't want anything from either of my parents, I only want Allah swt, the most Just, most Wise.

Don't forget to do alot of dhikr at nights and In Shaa Allah we'll reach Laylatul Kadr and our duas will be answered

Start off easily with dhikr on the picture and add Astaghifirullah 1000x. Do more if you can do more, read Qur'an and pray taraweeh, tahajjud and witr

Salam everyone,

Please don't judge me and please don't comment anything that isn't helpful. And please excuse my misspelling and grammar.

My father has been abusive towards my mother, me, and my sisters since I can remember. I am now married with a child and I don't live there anymore however I have spoken up for my family whenever I was there or when I saw my father acting up. I am not going to lie. I am not a soft spoken person I can be very blunt and to the point. I can also be disrespectful if I am being disrespected.

For about a year now my father has been miserable and has been miserable towards my mom who is recovering from cancer. My sisters work really hard and over all I would say my father is blessed to have such a great wife and children. But he does nothing but speak ill and talk down on them. He takes his frustrations out on the family. He doesn't say anything to me because I am married but I cannot handle him treating my mother so ill.

He will pick fights over nothing. I have been staying over my mom's house for a few days to catch up. But his behavior has made everyone so miserable. Last night during sahoor he was giving my mom anger and my sisters. I asked what's wrong and he said the cat dropped the cup but the cup did not break and there was nothing in the cup so there was no mess. No problem. So I got mad and said well I hope the cat dies. And then my father starts to make Dua cursing our cat and then I added my the cat and my dad both die, out of anger. He got really mad and wouldnt shut up. So I told him to shut up and be quiet. My mom got in the middle of us because she saw that my dad was going to slap me. I did not back down as I was sick of the verbal abuse. He slapped me really hard. Out of anger and defense I slapped him back. And then he was in shock. After that he went crazy and charged at me grabbing my hair and slapping me more. My sisters came to protect me and stopped him. My husband was not home at the time. After he let go of me. I just couldn't shut up I was angry. I just started say everything to hurt him. I called my husband in the mean time to come pick me up. In that time my father was packing and we were worried he will take our important documents. So my sister took the documents from him. He was going to hit my sister so I went after her and started yelling and cursing again he slapped me about six times or more, I can't remember. He ended up injuring my ear. Since then my ears have been ringing and I feel really weak and I know I have an injury. I called the cops at this time. As soon as the cops arrived my father acted so calm and normal. Subhannallah which means he could've always controlled his anger. Because the cops came he was so calm and civil. My son was asleep so he did not witness this alhumduliah, he is also a baby otherwise if he was any older he would have awaken.

My husband told my dad he cannot come near me or my son ever again until he apologizes and changes. but I also think I need to apologize to my father. However I don't want to because that will excuse his behavior especially after he injured my ear. I have also forgiven way too many times the abuse and the extreme embarrassment all my life in many different occasions. To tell you the extent of how much I have forgiven him, I forgive him the next day after my wedding in my heart. He never apologized himself. He ruined my wedding day by cursing me and calling me the most disgusting names ever, all morning till afternoon he cursed at me on my wedding day. This was because I gave my husband a small mehr amount as my husband was poor at the time. And I love my husband so I wanted to make the mahr as less as possible.

To add, He also had no right to hit me since I am married.

I am an adult and since I can remember I have seen his abuse towards all of us. Yes he provided but he always let us know he is providing. And he provided the very minimum.

Since then I could not get this out of my head. I feel like my ramadan is not accepted at all. I sinned by hitting back my father and cursing at him. My ramadan is ruined. Since then I have been in a "give up" mindset. I've been praying my prayers late and it's taking a lot out of me to even get up for prayers. I feel like I ruined my month of worship.

My question is, how big is my sin and what should I do to ask God for forgiveness? I am scared of Allahs punishment and anger. I worry, God forbid, my child will hit me and curse me too even if I am the best parent. Idk

Please advise.

Hello everyone I’m a non Muslim wanting to read the Quran. But I had a question on theology/belief. As a women is there a “day of obligation when to go to the mosque” (I was born and raised Catholic) and when it comes to sin what can be done as Muslims to ask for gods forgiveness.

Have been feeling super overwhelmed and alone and truly seeking for truth.

Never have been to a mosque and would love to go to maybe ask and imam for more information.

God bless!

Salamu Alayk, for around a month or two now my faith in Allah has been decreasing, I would not like this to continue, I want my faith to stay high, but I just can’t stop but wonder what if Islam is a lie? My du’as go unanswered, I feel only a small relationship with Allah, I’ve always believed the human mind is a very powerful tool, and I’m afraid this has made me arrogant but I am not sure if this is even true. I fast every day of Ramadan and Subhanallah have started praying recently and will continue to put in effort for Allah but I do not like the way that I think, I think logically so this may also be why I feel this way, another potential reason is I used to obsess over small things to prevent sins, like if I accidentally gazed at a woman then felt slight arousal before looking away i felt a need to instantly repent even if it was accidental, or I would repent for haram thoughts that i did not even like or support. This may have burned me out from Islam making it feel like a chore. Worst case scenario if I stay like this but continue to put in effort for Allah will I be doomed for judgement day? And I really need to improve my faith for Allah. I really hope somebody can help me.

I chose it because I felt like something was seriously missing in my life. Before religion, I felt empty and had no real inner peace. I looked into different paths—spiritualism, Buddhism, and others—until I eventually settled on Islam. That’s when I finally started to feel something real in my life instead of just chasing blind hedonism.

obviously islam is also a life guide and tells us to be good and tells us to not harm others with our tongues or fists but the reason why i converted was because of misery stemming from blind hedonism

it reminds me of this verse which literally happend to me back when i was a disbeliever:

Qur'an 20:124 (Surah Ta-Ha)

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed (or constricted) life, and We will raise him on the Day of Resurrection blind.”

I am fasting for ramadan this year, and I have been thinking about converting for 2 years now. But always after one week of Ramadan I feel like I am cosplaying a being a part of something I am just not.

I fee close to Allah in the first week, also being in the mosque wirh friends sometimes, but never praying regularily. I did for some weeks last year but then panicked and didnt think about islam for some weeks.

I just feel like now I am fasting without real reason because the only real reason to do it is for god and I am not even in the religion. I dont know whats wrong but that happends every time I overthink and panic and distance myself from the religion for a certain time. But I always come back.

But what if I only love the community and aesthetic, being a part of something? For me many things make sense and I am really open minded. Also in my culture islam is seen as something dangerous so its hard for me.

I sdont know if I should keep on fasting. I dont know if i fit this religion or if i am just trying to change myself into a form. I dont know if my world view matches wirh islam. I dont know if I am just trying to make myself believe, instead of rlly believing. For years now this overthinking is keeping me up at night. Sonetimes I feel god but then soometimes I really couldnt care less

Hi, I’m a new revert, this is my very first Ramadan and I feel it’s been going well, besides the being lonely part for Iftar and such, but the whole point of my posts was something I’ve been having a question about, I can only attend mosque once a week and that’s on Sundays, it makes me feel a bit bad but is it okay to only attend once a week? I pray the prayers in my mat and read Quran every day it’s just kinda hard to feel involved in the Muslim community when I can’t really get involved. How do other Muslims/ reverts deal with this?

Salam I hope everyone is having a good ramadan. Just for some context I am a student so therefore not currently working. Just before ramadan i decided i want to give sadqah every day even if it is a little, as I believed that the rizq would come back to me so therefore i took out some money from my account and put it aside and intended it to be my sadqah money for ramadan. I wanted to give some from there everyday. However, currently I am struggling a lot financially with only £20 left in my account, I am making dua constantly but now I am wondering would it be okay for me to use that money i set aside or not? On one hand I want to have tawakkul, the verse which suggests Allah will provide from sources i cannot imagine and that he will compensate me with the money spent in his way however, it is getting to the point where i am unable to afford basic necessities and I am losing hope. Would it be okay to use the money? should i pray for my tawakkul to be increased? all help would be appreciated.

This Ramadan, build this one habit that will help you change beautifully

Instead of overthinking, turn each and every single one of your thought into a dua

Every fear

Every irritation

Every “what if”

Just make dua about it instead of thinking more and more about it, immediately make dua

When your mind says:

What if this happens?

Say

Ya Allah, don’t let this harm me. Write what is best for me and make me happy with it

When you think:

I know they’re going to hurt me again.

Say

Ya Allah, protect me from what I fear coming

When anger creeps in:

They always do this. It irritates me so much.

Say

Ya Allah, purify my heart and fix what is disturbing me and give them hidayah

When someone degrades you, insults you

Say

Ya Allah, grant me izzah and raise my ranks in dunya and akhirah

When loneliness whispers:

What if I’m left behind again? Forgotten?

Say:

Ya Allah, never leave me alone without Your closeness and become my best friend so that I dont even feel the need for anyone else

Overthinking is just misdirection. Mostly its whispers of shaitan to make you stressed and worried

Your mind keeps replaying scenarios because your heart wants security

So give it the right direction

Allah says:

“Call upon Me; I will respond to you.”

(Qur’an 40:60)

So instead of drowning in thoughts, redirect them upward

Make this your Ramadan reflex:

Thought → Dua

Fear → Dua

Anger → Dua

Insecurity → Dua

You will feel lighter

Not because life becomes perfect but because you are no longer carrying it alone.

And the more you turn to Allah for small things, the more natural it becomes to turn to Him for everything.

Let this Ramadan train your mind to run toward Allah before it runs toward worry.

I’ve been suffering from toothache all day. The pain keeps getting worse and worse. It became so bad to the point I couldn’t sleep at night. I kept waking up, hoping the pain would go away soon. I did a salt water rinse, I looked up 24h dental clinics, I took a paracetamol. I immediately booked an appointment for 8am at a clinic near me.

Now I think the paracetamol must’ve helped to reduce the pain significantly. I ditched my efforts to look for a dental clinic, I didn’t feel the need to do a salt water rinse. Heck I even decided to delay my visit to the dentist. Despite desperately needing help 30 min ago, feeling even a slight amount of relief made me forgo all my efforts to solve the problem.

Maybe it’s because it’s the month of Ramadhan. But I immediately linked it back to my relationship with Allah. So many times, when I’m drowning in problems and troubles and “pain”, I seek Allah’s guidance, I don’t delay my prayers, Allah is on my mind constantly. But with Allah’s grace, when that “pain” is gone, I start delaying my prayers, saying “what’s the difference between praying at 9pm or 3am? I’m still doing my isha before fajr”

It just goes to show how much we forgetful we are as humans. May Allah show mercy to us all.

Im a woman and my family always tells me to stop praying Maghreb alone during Ramadan because I can get greater rewards praying with the other family members but each time I try I find myself being too distracted by how close I am to that much people it just annoys me so much. Praying is very intimate to me and I believe I pray better alone. I kinda feel bad about it now yk ((

Over the past few months, I have immersed myself in a deep study of legal history and the evolution of secular ethics,I,was trying to reconcile the West's vocal commitment to "human rights" with the grim realities buried in its corridors of power. What I found was a profound chasm between Rhetoric and Reality.

The unsealing of some of the Epstein files served as a diagnostic tool for a dying moral objective; for me , it wasn't just a list of names, but a map of a rigged justice system where money and influence act as a solvent for so called rule of law. When figures like Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins the men lauded as the intellectual vanguards of modern reason in atheisem are linked to such circles, it exposes the inherent danger of a purely consequentialist worldview.

​Without an objective moral anchor, "good" and "evil" are discarded as archaic social constructs, replaced by a cold calculus of utility that inevitably favors the powerful. This vacuum of absolute morality is what truly harms the most vulnerable: Women and Children. Ironically, these are the very groups Western critics claim to "protect" when they target Islam.

While ofc instances of malpractice or cultural misinterpretation within Muslim communities are unfairly blamed on the faith itself, the secular elite often lack any theological or moral framework to even define their own actions as "evil." when their own leaders and icons exploit the vulnerable, they have no higher law to answer to. They’ve replaced "Right and Wrong" with "Cost and Benefit." They tell us the evil we know doesn't exist and they will protect u, the law will protect u!, yet they preside over systems that facilitate it.

Islam offers an objective moral anchor that transcends the whims of the powerful; the West offers a "justice" system that is ultimately just an extension of the checkbook. We are told we are "backwards," but at least we have a definition for the word "evil" that the wealthy cannot rewrite.

May Allah protect our Ummah! ๐Ÿคฒ

Salam everyone,

I have two younger brothers, five and eleven, and lately I’ve been getting increasingly concerned about the kind of content they’re exposed to on YouTube. Sometimes they’ll be watching TV in my room and while nothing is obviously inappropriate, there are certain ideas, jokes, or attitudes that genuinely don’t sit right with me. It’s subtle, but it feels like things kids their age shouldn’t really be absorbing.

What worries me most is how normalized this kind of content has become. A lot of it isn’t explicit, but it promotes certain mindsets, disrespectful humor, or unhealthy views about women, or masculinity. They’re still very young and impressionable, and I don’t want them growing up with distorted views of themselves or others.

My parents aren’t fully aware of how YouTube algorithms work, and my mom doesn’t speak English fluently, so it’s hard for her to recognize when something might be problematic. I try to keep an eye on things when I can, but obviously I can’t monitor everything and I’m very busy with my own life.

As an older sister, I feel a responsibility to help guide them in the right direction, especially from an Islamic perspective. I want them to grow into confident, kind, respectful men with strong values, not shaped by whatever the internet feeds them.

For Muslim parents or older siblings: what practical steps have you taken to protect young boys from harmful online influences? Do you restrict YouTube entirely, supervise it, or focus more on teaching values so they can filter things themselves?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi guys! I am not Muslim, but i have fasted fpr Ramadan for the last 3 years. I always have trouble understanding when Ramadan officially begins; I know it may begin tomorrow but does that mean I fast tomorrow during the day or Ramadan starts after tomorrow night so technically I eat like normal tomorrow and fast the next day? I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but I currently don't have any friends of the Islamic faith.

Salam borthers and sisters, Iam a university student and I honestly don't know whether this has started now or its been going on for a while but what Iam sure about is that it's real and I don't know what do I do.

I simply don't, i always feel as though as if iam just a gohst, someone who people pass by but never actually stay long to get to know , maybe because there's something about me that just pushes them away or I don't know but I often feel like iam a burden to others and I feel like iam Invisible to so many and I can say this has only gotten worse since I got into uni ( second year now) and I sorta live in my head more than I live in the actual life and yeah I do have friends some from good ol times and some who I recently met at uni but I don't seem to feel "safe" or like no matter how nourished a friendship is I always feel like iam just annoying the other person like " don't talk too much don't say things, keep it light" and yeah I do keep it light, so light I almost get forgotten, right? but yeah I don't really like to play this "victim" card and say maybe because something is wrong with me or whatever that is and I prefer to be hopeful and to talk to Allah ask him for his help, for guidance, and yeah maybe this is a test or maybe in the mean time I gotta face those kinda feelings in order to mature or maybe its gonna help me in the future I honestly don't know, I just really want the pain to go away because not only do I feel it in my head but also in my body and yeah I don't know how to describe it but yeah it's like a pain in the chest mostly in the chest and other times it's just this overwhelming feeling in your body.

I know I might have turned this into a vent, my appologies for doing so but I am genuinely seeking your help and wisdom.

maybe someone here is equipped with the knowledge that I don't have yet.

Please remember me in your duas, especially during Ramadan. Please make dua that Allah forgives my sins and grants me ease, opens the doors to a righteous spouse at the right time, blesses me with stability in my work and rizq, and allows me to move into a healthier and more peaceful environment for my well-being.

May Allah accept all your duas and ibadah and grant you relief in your own struggles as well! ุฌุฒุงูƒ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุฎูŠุฑ

I live in a Muslim country and I see a lack of unity everywhere.

There is so much greed and selfishness and there is a lack of sympathy and care too.

everybody is focused on money. money comes first and Islam comes second to these people.

they are involved in haram acts and it has become the new normal. no shame, no regret, just people indulging in haram.

why have we fallen this badly?

I have been to and lived in non Muslim countries too, I am ashamed that non Muslims have better unity than us Muslims. I see non Muslims taking care of their relatives, supporting each other through hardships and being kind.

why don't I see that in our ummah? our cousins, brothers and sisters are struggling and we don't even speak to our relatives. we only meet each other on events or funerals. we are too ashamed to ask our own family members for help.

I see animals like dogs and cats on the street abused and broken. nobody takes care of anything while the non Muslims cry even when a dog dies.

what has made us all so insensitive? why have we fallen down so hard?

aren't we ashamed that the non Muslims are better at humanity than us? do you not feel guilty or sad?

it makes me so sad so see what we have become. May God help us all and make us better.

ofc that's not the case in every Muslim country but in my experience this has been very real and it makes me sad.

I'm sorry if I said anything wrong, I hope the moderators don't take this post down because I really want to know what you all think about this.

the people who are non Muslims are better human beings than us and to me that's a shameful thing to be a part of. my faith in Allah is strong and I know our religion is beautiful and teaches us so many amazing things.

it is not the religions fault it is the fault of the people who are supposed to be good examples.

but why do people not learn?
