This is probably a dumb question but it randomly came to me. Asking as a non-believer if that matters.

www.ilm-studenthalls.com has created just that and already seeing the benefits where young Muslims don't need to compromise there Deen, stand together to perform their daily prayers in the dedicated prayer room and relax together to watch sports and movies in the cinema room.
The student feedback has been phenomenal with them telling us that the Halls have been a great deterrent for them getting into fitnah.
We want to expand this across the country but want to know what others think.

like the title said am wondering , why allah let people get away with slavery for exemple for tens of years and many people lived and died wealthy using something "legal" and very very evil , i know god allows free will but man it kinda messes me up thinking that my god the most merciful lets people be born and die in complete torture or any exemple of people that do evil to other people their whole lives like stealing from them etc and they get away with it atleast in this life ,why doesnt he punishes them and why the victims dont get anything even in the afterlife like ok lets say allah punishes the thief in the afterlife the victim got nothing in return , i hope i made my point clear , please help me understand

By asking this question i am in no way being ungrateful to what Allah has blessed me with but i admit my life has been very difficult since childhood with lots of trauma, suicidal thoughts etc. And one thing i dont really understand about islam is why some muslims have perfect lives, and have everything in this world while others are tested so extremely to the point of suicide?
I understand that people will say wealth, health etc is also a test but i am not talking about that, i am talking about psychological tests that break you down completely and seem to destroy your life and the way u see everything, why is it that some people experience this their whole lives while others die without having gone through any sort of emotional hardship in their whole life, is it because Allah does not see any benefit in testing some people?
I mean i was kinda thinking Allah is very generous and kind and loves us so i think it might be because by testing some people in that way it only hurts them and doesnt bring any sort of benefit to them so maybe thats why?

As-salamu alaykum, I'm new to Islam and am trying to understand the basics of prayers and such, but one thing that I need is a praying mat to start off with. I'm looking for one that I can use at home, but the problem is that when I searched on Google on what it shouldn't have, it says 'animals or people, mosques and Ka'ba, occult symbols (understandably) and "complex designs".
I don't really understand what it means by the last bit, but I do want to be fact checked if the following I mentioned was wrong or not. However, I see a lot of mats using mosques or the Ka'ba on the designs, which confuses me. Thank you if you know any mats that I should choose instead.

Assalamualaikum,
In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah mentions that a servant continues to draw near through voluntary عبادات until Allah loves him, and then becomes his hearing, sight, hands, and feet.
I’m reflecting on this deeply:
Is this describing complete alignment of a person’s will with divine guidance?
How should this be understood without falling into literal or incorrect interpretations?
Would love thoughtful reflections grounded in authentic understanding.

ALLAH is the true Deity; there is no god except Him, and none deserves worship except Allah, the One, the Unique. He possesses the attributes of absolute perfection. There is nothing like unto Him, even though He has affirmed for Himself attributes such as life, knowledge, power, hearing, sight, face, the two hands, might, greatness, beauty, exaltedness, and self-sufficiency... and other attributes established in the Qur’an and the Sunnah that befit the majesty of His Noble Face and the greatness of His authority. The creation cannot comprehend or imagine Him, and they do not encompass anything of His knowledge except what He wills — Glorified is He.
Allah, Glorified be He, was alone in eternity, distinct by Himself, and there was nothing besides Him — neither water, nor the Throne, nor anything else — as He, the Most High, said: “He is the First” [Al-Hadid: 3].
Then He, Glorified be He, created the Throne and the water, and He created the Pen and the Preserved Tablet, and He created seven heavens and seven earths.
And His Throne was upon the water, and He is established over it in a manner that befits His greatness. He wrote in the Record everything, and He commanded the Pen — which is one of His creations, the true nature of which we do not know — to write the decrees of all things until the Hour is established. So it wrote, by Allah’s perfect knowledge, what was, what will be, and what would have been had it been. Then whatever Allah willed came to be, and whatever He did not will did not come to be. Then He says concerning what He wills: “Be,” and it is.
To be continued...

Wondering if anyone can relate/has advice
I have OCD symptoms and for the past few months, I’ve been trying my best to turn to Allah (swt) whenever I’m struggling with something rather than doing compulsions. A main reason for this is that I had an episode during the fall and did make dua but also gave into my compulsion. I ended up finding out that the thing I was so worried about was actually nothing serious at all and I shouldn’t have done the compulsion. That was a lesson to me to trust Allah (swt) and his guidance rather than just listening to my head
Unfortunately though, I’m now stuck in another episode and struggling with tawakkul. I got upset about it today and made dua for guidance/sign and literally got a Quran ayah about guidance on social media right after. But of course I had thoughts come up like “oh that doesn’t apply to me, maybe that’s not actually a sign” 💀 lol how do I fight this? I’ve been trying so hard but the constant feeling that I’m doing something wrong/making excuses/misinterpreting signs is always there

Salaam everyone
I am a Muslimah in the deep south, USA. I recently, due to Ramadan and some amazing things thst occurred in Ramadan, have grown closer to Allah and am so thankful.
I've wanted to start wearing hijab but have already experienced aggressive behaviors from people and its making me so afraid to go outside.
for context, I am a single parent and none of my family is Muslim and they definitely do not appreciate hijab and wouldn't feel comfortable being seen in public with me wearing it.
all this to say... I feel scared and I do not have any support navigating amd building strength to begin wearing it outside of masjid events and praying. I would sincerely love to. however I am so fearful and afraid for my safety that I no longer want to go outside and I am extremely hypervigilant of my surroundings when I do wear it, for my safety.
the women I know who are successful in wearing hijab fall into several categories that make it possible for them
wealthy wives who dont need to work
medical professionals - society has no choice but to accept them due to extreme need
professors-- around educated people
recipients of Social security income, so they do not need to work or try to find work while observing hijab
I am looking for a middle ground and support to begin the process of becoming a full time hijabi who works and can become fearless wearing hijab in the Bible belt deep south.
thanks in advance. jazak Allah khairan

My depression is getting too much for me to handle and deal with. I genuinely think about ending myself life every single day, there is nothing left for me in this world. I’ve been thinking about it ever since i knew we have the option of ending ourselves. I can’t do this anymore, i really cannot. The only thing that’s stopping me is Allah, i do not think i’m ready to face him because i don’t think i’m a good muslim, just like i’ve disappointed everyone in my life i think Allah won’t/is pleased by me either. I want to end it, i can’t live like anymore, I just want to know if Allah will forgive me? Would forgiveness be possible in my situation?

I got my exam results today. I had been making dua for these marks for so long especially during Ramadan, Tahajjud, and almost every prayer. When I saw my result I was happy… but it was 2 marks less than what I had asked for.
In that moment I felt disappointed and even said something I regret that Allah didn’t give me what I wanted so he didn’t keep his promise and so I won’t pray shukrana salat.
An hour later I had an Islamic class, and the topic was about Surah Fussilat about how we should never be ungrateful or doubtful towards Allah. It hit me so deeply. I felt like Allah was directly reminding me.
I realized my mistake, prayed shukr, and felt at peace again.
Maybe those 2 marks weren’t meant for me because something better is planned. I have another exam coming up and now my trust in Allah is even stronger.
Allah is truly the best of planners.

what are people’s thoughts on philosophy ? honestly for me, philosophy means having a love for learning, and yk asking questions about different aspects of lie, and just trying to understand and analyse the deeper meaning behind things. however, I DO NOT believe in solely relying on philosophical concepts. i believe that like ok let’s say existentialism the concept is about living life to the fullest, and having no purpose. obviously there IS A PURPOSE, and that’s where islam comes in like ok existentialism with islam i would say is living life to the fullest but remembering what your purpose in this dunya is. so yeah it wouldn’t fully qualify as existentialism — overall islam has all the concepts and everything for us. my point is just about, not believing in the philosophical concepts, but understanding the deeper meaning and analysing different things is philosophy, so why do some scholars say it’s haram ? i’m not believing in any of the concepts obviously, but learning and knowledge is categorised as philosophy, so then i do like philosophy ?

Is it permissible to use a scraper to scrape Google maps or use the API, even if the platform doesn't allow it in their term but they don't hold you accountable/take legal action for it? And if it's not permissible, is there any other alternative? I genuinely have good intentions and I don't see anything wrong with it.

As Salamu Aleykum friends,
I was raised as a liberal Muslim in a Western country: Not praying, eating non-halal meat, my parents didn't go to Mecca and will not go in the future. I was told that there is a God, but the most important thing was to be a good human-being in the first place.
To not make this section too long: I got more invested into Islam and am now praying, eating halal meat, planning to go to Mecca in a few years inshAllah and so on.
Restriction like halal meat, Riba, going to the Mosque sure changed my life and were not easy to implement, still I didn't feel like these restrictions made me unhappy or tired. I just integrated them into my life.
But there is one restriction that leaves me disoriented, confused and lost: I just don't know how to handle it. I have been going to university for like 5 years, and since I became more religious about 3 years ago, I stopped contacting girls over the time: From not "making moves" anymore to not having female friends anymore (the latter part wasn't actually hard).
I'm torn between wanting to meet women again and fearing the consequences. How can I actually love a woman, if I'm cannot meet with her? I want to get to know a woman, talk about what she likes, what I like, how we can move on to a future where we are married etc. I want it to happen naturally, where it's just love. My dear brothers and sisters, I just want to love... I have never loved a woman in my life (for other reasons than Islam in my pre-religious time). I want to know how butterflies in the stomach feel like, I want to experience what it's like to be in a relationship with a woman - but I feel so alone, not heard, not seen, just by myself.
What is the alternative? Asking other people to find me someone, talk to her only when others are present, then marrying her not even knowing if I love her, or if she loves me? How is that different than living with a random? How does that even work, my parents didn't teach me anything like that?
I'm sorry for my writing style, it is not in a respecful way - to You or to our faith. These thought are just constantly rattling through mind leaving me in a confused and sometimes enraged state. I don't know what to do or what to think. Please find some calming words for me. Thank you.

Even if you were to remember and speak to ALLAH SWT every moment of every day, for all of eternity keep talking, keep talking you would never grow weary. The words would never run dry, and your heart would never whisper "enough."
For the love of ALLAH SWT is an endless ocean, boundless and eternal. The deeper you dive, the more breathtaking it becomes. The more you love, the more joy floods your heart a joy so pure, so infinite, that no words could ever truly contain it.
His love has no shore. His presence has no end. And the soul that truly finds Him... never truly wants for anything else.

As-salamu alaykum everyone :)
I’m trying to improve my recitation in salah and had a question. Is it allowed to hold a mushaf (Qur’an) while praying so I can read directly from it? For example, I’d like to recite a surah like Surah Al-Mulk in my Maghrib prayer, but I don’t have it memorized yet.
Is this permissible in obligatory prayers, or only in voluntary ones? I’ve heard there might be different opinions depending on the madhhab, so I’d really appreciate some clarification.
JazakAllahu khayran! <3

Asalamualaikum, I’m in desperate need of duas today for myself (female) and my sister. She has been fighting cancer for over 3 years now. Shes only 34 but the last 3 years have been so painful. Everytime she gets on a treatment it works only to stop working after a few months. Just 5 months ago she was in tremendous pain. We got on a trial with such great difficulty. She was responding wonderfully and today we found out that she is progressing again. I, as her caregiver feel so tired and exhausted. I have spent every waking moment making dua for her health. It’s the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I make dua for. Nothing else matters. I feel like I have lost who I am in these three years. I put my career, my married future on pause because she needs me. Who’ll be her caregiver if not me. I would give everything to see her be stable and healthy. My parents live in a different country. One of my siblings is married and lives in another state. I feel like it’s just the two of us and I can feel the exhaustion in my bones. Tonight I just need duas from anyone reading.

Hi, I’m really scared about Surah Al-Hijr (15:42). Allah says that Shaytan has no authority over His servants except those who follow him. My fear is: if Shaytan affects me, or if I fall into sin, does that mean I’m not truly one of Allah’s servants? Or does it mean I’m among those who follow Shaytan? I’m confused about the difference between being tempted, sinning, and actually ‘following’ Shaytan. Do scholars say that a believer who sins is still considered among Allah’s servants, or does this verse mean something more serious? I’m looking for explanations from tafsir or scholars.

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?

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 بر الوالين 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:
- 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?
- 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.
- 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?
- 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?
- Is the modestly of clothes determined by the wearer or the religious branch?
- Is the different types of Islam (like Sunni or Shia) called branches, schools, or something else?
- What are the differences between the Shia and Sunni branches? And between Twelver Shia and other Shia?
- Where do most Persian Muslims live in NYC?
- 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 had finished prayer, these socks were quite thick as well and they have these sort of knitted seams and when I looked closely, I feel like they showed skin, I’m not sure if I have to repeat prayer or not, or is it considered valid? I even wore another sock over one of the others cause I thought it might’ve shown my skin, I don’t know if I’m just over complicating things.

My first time stumbling across this Hadith… [link] [comments] |
from Islam https://ift.tt/XudnSyH
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

Aisha (RA) said: “I said: O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is Laylatul Qadr, what should I say in it?” اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith 3513 - https://sunnah.com/tirmidhi:3513 [link] [comments] |

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 [link] [comments] |

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
