"Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty, except that Allah will replace it with something better for you." (Musnad Aḥmad 23074)

Just wanted to spark a discussion- did anyone find when they left something for the sake of Allah SWT they noted some sort of betterness? Ashamed to admit but losing a bit of faith, having left something for the sake of Allah SWT but can't see any changes yet, maybe I need to be more patient.

Hello brothers and sisters,

Does allah give rewards to people that sacrifice their life to save other lives?

If one were to for example rescue children from a burning place, collapses and dies due to the lack of oxygen after getting out every child, would and how would allah reward them?

I came across this thoughtful article on orphan sponsorship and wanted to share it with anyone who has ever wondered what sponsoring an orphan actually involves. Caring for orphans holds a special place in Islam, and learning about the practical ways sponsorship can help a child is well worth the read. Whether you're considering sponsoring an orphan or simply want to better understand this important act of sadaqah, I found it to be a helpful resource.

Please take the time to read, its long but I feel desperate, alone and very overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. Not trying to be overbearing/possessive/irrational but also don’t want to be potentially neglectful?

Assalamu alaikum, im in my early 20s and my younger brother is 1+ yr younger and has been involved w a nonmuslim girl for a few years now. I remember feeling their relationship seemed awfully intimate (long, very frequent phone calls etc.) but did not push any further, bc at the time I was held back by the thought that if my parents havent said anything (even though I KNOW they were also noticing and curious), what grants me the authority to barge in? In hindsight I wonder if this situation could’ve potentially been avoided had i confronted him earlier, but that’s prob a selfish attempt to check off the “I did my part” box.

I constantly swing between feeling my brother is his own person + grown/independent enough to alhamdulilah now be self-supporting/make his own decisions and worry. And I think the latter has a lot to do w my mom who has become very stressed when it concerns him and has no one to confide in but me, which then causes me anxiety. What makes matters worse for my mom in particular, is that she gets stressed very easily and has told me she cannot seek comfort in my dad on this matter (through any conversation etc.), bc he shuts down entirely when this topic comes up-- so she’s left stewing alone. Furthermore, my father has not once independently approached and addressed this with my brother directly even though both parents treat this as a point of major concern. so she consequently feels as if she is (solely) burdened with the “obligation” to “sort this out” with him since the other parent has said little to nothing despite indirectly making his disapproval clear. And my dad is undisputably more stern and no-nonsense, so it makes me even more confused as to why he hasn’t even attempted once. Fyi at this point my mom has sought out and sat down w my brother for a convo regarding this relationship ~2x, advising him against it.

Ultimately, I know its his decision and make dua for him always. I had a “talk” with him regarding this for the first (and last time) >1 year ago (before either of my parents) bc I didn’t know where he stood w the girl at the time and was curious/a bit concerned and knew it was something that was bothering him to keep hidden despite it being a pretty open secret among all of us. And I truly feel if I hadn’t asked, neither would my parents despite their strong feelings. But by that point it was apparent by context clues and what my brother had shared that he and this girl had already built a solid albeit rocky foundation spanning the course of 3+ years (undergrad). And now, its been a few years since even that (~5+).

I havent mentioned it much less advised him about this again following that, but I know they are still together. I think it became too much for him to bear, bc he recently came out and explicitly told my parents he is still with her and cant not be w her (they’ve/hes apparently tried breaking contact before).

Idk what it is im asking, I don’t have anyone irl to consult and I guess being back home for the summer w little else to think about/do and seeing my mom (and dad) worry about him makes me wonder if theres something I should do, still. Being in the same space w him again, I constantly feel like im missing an “opportunity” to have this chat with him once more or broach the topic again. And even though I don’t think there is any action I can take atp, I don’t know if that’s me absolving a responsibility I still have.

I also dont like the idea of approaching my brother again bc I love him and care for him and I feel like he is already struggling with this despite his own feelings and harbors some level of guilt and perhaps shame, but at the same time it hurts to see my parents (esp my mom) in this “predicament”. But then im also rlly frustrated with my dad bc for some reason, and I think its out of fear of approaching my brother and generally pushing him away (they both butt heads a lot and my brother is the least likely of the siblings to back down), he acts like nothings happening. And that leaves me having to console my mom and sometimes doubting my own role in all this.

As a sort of aside, I also cant figure out how to behave w my brother, either. Things are def a bit stunted and conversations to me almost seem like were moving around the elephant in the room. It makes me sad and I wonder if I should just start talking to him/asking him about her. But then I worry that ill be affirming their relationship/indirectly showing approval/normalizing what they have going on. And this is where things get a little more iffy on my part bc a lot of this sadness is also related to seeing how often he texts her/calls her and comparing it to how sparingly he reaches out to me and my parents. He never contacts me on his own and I never know what he has going on bc even if we do talk otp I feel like its heavily one sided w most of the sharing being done from my end. And ive told him as much jokingly multiple times in the past. I want to be close to him but cant figure out whether we were always this far apart and im just feeling this way bc of some sisterly possessiveness occurring now that im aware he has someone special or if this is in fact a real thing outside of his relationship. Ive tried being introspective to figure it out but worry if I bring it up with him, he’ll understandably assume im nitpicking him out of desire to gain some control over his personal life (romantic endeavors included), especially since my parents and I have both made our disapproval of that clear.

Any advice or general thoughts or even a reality check would be genuinely and sincerely appreciated, seriously. Jazakallah khair

Good evening everyone,

I do not follow what is happening here. I am here to observe for a school project, however I keep getting confused in the switch between Islam and Muslim. Are they the same religion? I’m intrigued and would love to know about your lives, religion included.

Thank you very much!

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, dont come after me. Its 1 in the morning… sorry if this is selfish or corny

I dont know how long i can keep up wirh this life anymore. I’ve suffered too long.

Ive dealt with Abuse mentally and physically since i was a kid, Been in car crashes 3 times, have 5+ different mental health/disorders diagnoses, dealing with economic issues, islamic trauma, I do self harm to cope, Ive overdosed before, got into my dream university and major but cant afford it.

Sometimes i question if God is even real? he never answers my Duas and he made my life so cruel. I do believe that Islam is the right direction, but i don’t even know if He wants me here? I failed him, i failed everyone, everyone is disappointed in me. I dont know if i can keep living like this, i feel like i would be better off dead. Ive asked Allah since the age of 7 for him to just take my life. I think its better if i just killed myself

Everyone just keeps saying to me “Oh this is cause your iman is low”, “you need to pray 5 times a day” ,”You need to be wearing the hijab!!!” And even “Your a woman you cant do that!” The thing is I DO!!!!! I do pray, i do read the Quran, i do good deeds and its always targeted about me being a girl. And when people say those stuff it just drifts me away from Islam, it makes me feel bad about myself, like im a failure and im doing everything wrong. Now my mental health has taken over me and all i do is just rot away and i barely pray.. I know its bad, i hope he understands. I question about islam everyday now… i love and believe in islam but i just dont know how to feel. I still beg him to take my life :,) i hope he listens.. i dont have much to live for. Im disappointed and disgusted with myself. I failed everyone, i failed myself

Oh Allah set me free, I’m not your strongest soldier. I can’t take this anymore

Asalasmualikum,

My parents planned an umrah trip, and I am still young, so I have a few questions.

  1. We will fly into Jeddah from the USA. If I get my period, can I still enter the state of ihram?
  2. If we want to complete many umrah(s), do we have to exit the miqat bounds and re-enter with new ihram?
  3. Are there any online resources with simple umrah step-by-step guides? A lot of them don't cite evidence or count female pilgrims.

Thank you so much.

Salaam,

I have a brother you has an intellectual disability and I'm concerned with how I will fulfill my obligations of caring for him once my parents pass. I have 3 other siblings, but they are not very religious and I do not believe that they will share this responsibility with me given how little they contribute to the family obligations already. I'm also concerned about my brother's marriage situation. He's in his early 20s (but much younger intellectually), he does not have a traditional education or a job (for obvious reasons) and he speaks of wanting to get married often. It makes me sad and worried for him because clearly he's lonely, and is probably struggling with his physical needs not being met, but how are we supposed to explain to him and that he is not in the position to be married, at least yet.

My bleeding lasts for 5 days usually , today it was the 4th day and since fajr time I had not bled so I decided to do ghusl at Dhuhr time and I prayed dhuhr and asr

After Asr I checked n I began bleeding again so I’m not sure if I should do ghusl again today because the bleeding has currently stopped but it can happen again ?? Am I sinful if I do ghusl tomorrow or is it better to do it now (like what if I don’t bleed for the rest of today but I don’t know if I will)

Can someone help me, I've been trying to pray all day but I can't find Allah.

This is my most scariest feeling, when I can't find Allah. It happens when I'm incredibly distressed. I'm incredibly distressed now.

Has anyone had this feeling, when they're the most distressed they can't find Allah? Can anyone help me find him?

Asslamualaikum,

This may seem like a silly question but it was one I was curious about. My understanding is that haya occured after everything that happened with Adam and Hawa. That makes sense, but there are cultures around the world that back in the day exposed themselves far more, and I am wondering why this is the case. Native Americans, for example, often went topless and such. In our modern day we're becoming far more provacative in the way we dress, so did these cultures just forget shame in a similar manner?

assalamu aalaykom warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

I heard that the Prophet alayhi salat wa salam divorced a woman, whose name I’ve forgotten, shortly after marrying her, because she didn't want the marriage. If that’s true, I find it beautiful. Does anyone have a source?

For context my father has always been very abusive all throughout my life. His relationship with my mother was never stable, but it got even worse when he lost his job 4 years ago and my mom became our only source of income.

Ever since i was a kid, he would hit me for absolutely no valid reason, and i would just take it. I’d calm down my siblings when they’d fight, take the punches and never fought back, listened to him rant about how we marginalise him in the family and whatever.
Yesterday was the breaking point. We had been begging my mom to divorce him so we could live in peace, which she never did because he wouldn’t let her, or because he’d threaten to make a public scandal. A stupid fight started between them, which ended in him hitting my mom and spitting on her. In an attempt to defend her, i hit him in the back, and that’s when it all went south.
I’m fully aware that i shouldn’t have hit him, but in that specific moment, it felt like if i didn’t distract him from my mom, he would commit the unforgivable.
He then turned to me, threw all the furniture he could find at me, blamed me for things that happened before i was even born, hit me, spat on me etc etc….
The worst part is i didn’t even cry, i was simply so used to things like this from him. But the worst part was when he locked all the doors and started threatening to kill us all. His threats were so loud and scary that we were all just begging him to stop. The hits wouldn’t stop until i threatened to call the cops on him; so he left the house.
We tried to run away but we found him waiting for us next to the car, attempted to hit us and wouldn’t let us leave until the security guard stopped him.
My mom tries to divorce him, but he’s keeping away a document that’s absolutely necessary for her to proceed, despite him being the one to repeatedly scream at her face that he wants a divorce.

After we left, he texted us and threatened to stop us from going to school (me and my sister are top students and international robotics winners). He said he would do anything to stop us from succeeding in life, and that he wishes nothing but the worst for us. He said he would follow us anywhere we tried to go.

Is it okay for me to go no contact with him? I really don’t want to go to hell but i can’t imagine a life with him in it.

"I have a question regarding Maliki fiqh about my specific calendar.
From June 18 to 19, I experienced spotting after 15 days of complete purity. From June 20 to 21, I had no bleeding at all. Then, on June 22, I had some spotting, and from June 23 to July 1, I had my period for 9 days. By applying the calculation of talfiq and combining the 3 days of spotting with the 9 days of flow, I reach a total of 12 days of menstruation, while my usual maximum period is 15 days.
On July 6, 8, and 9, I experienced new spotting. Applying talfiq adds 3 more days of bleeding, which brings me to my absolute maximum of 15 days of menstruation. As a theoretical consequence, any bleeding occurring from July 10 to July 22 should be considered istihada (irregular bleeding), because the interval from the start of the cycle on June 18 until July 22 corresponds to the period tied to this first cycle.
However, on July 19, my actual period arrived early with severe pain, a heavy red flow, and blood clots. Since July 19 falls within this theoretical istihada period that lasts until July 22, should I still pray or not?"

I am a young unmarried woman living at my parents' house. My mother is the primary caregiver for my sick grandmother, so she has been living with her for the past year. As a result, I've been living alone with my father.

For lunch and dinner, we usually don't have a fixed routine. Sometimes I cook, sometimes we order takeout, and other times we buy something quick and make a salad or a simple meal.

I work full-time, and over the past month I haven't had much time to cook, so I mostly eat whatever is available at home. I pay for all of my own personal expenses except food.

Recently, my father and I had an argument. Since then, he has stopped getting dinner for me. He will buy takeout for himself, bring it home, and eat it while I am left with nothing.

I find this situation very hurtful and unfair. I was wondering whether, from an Islamic perspective, he is neglecting any religious obligation toward me as his unmarried daughter. What are my rights in this situation, and what would be the best way to handle it?

Argument context: The argument happened on Eid al-Adha. We were supposed to go home together, but he drove off without waiting for me. I called him, but he hung up on me. I tried calling several more times, but he didn't answer. I also left him multiple voice messages asking why he had done that, telling him how hurt I was, and explaining what had upset me.

He hasn't spoken a single word to me since then.

I was born and raised a muslim, however, my family was never really religious, it was more so of a *Pray if you want* kinda thing. So I never really cared about Islam. Until I met this muslim brother in school, and he gave me all kinds of lectures and information. Mashallah! His faith pushed me to better my self and research Islam and read and understand The Holy Book The Quran. but now its a year since ive talked to the guy, Ive started involving myself in haram relationships, hanging out with the wrong crowd, looking at Haram things, et cetera.

Now I still succeed to pray all five prayers Alhamdelah, but sometimes, I purposely pray them later, very fast, I know its wrong, but it feels like I cant help myself you know? I cant even bring myself to listen to Quran.

Eventually, going down this track Im afraid I might lose Islam entirely!

So if anyone can give me advice, or a reality check, that would be very appreciated. Thank you for those who read.

Assalam o alaikum everyone. I am really curious about whether or not therapy aligns with muslim values. My family believes that therapy is not needed for muslim and prayer and allah's worship is enough. I have been in severe depression for 3-4 years now and i want to get out, and improve. I have been considering therapy because i've tried so many things by myself but they don't work. I definitely believe that nothing can calm my heart and bring me as much as peace as being close to allah and praying can but therapy offers many solutions to many specific problems. And i would prefer authentic evidences to back up claims.

Hi everyone! I'm a seminary student taking a graduate course. One of my assignments is to have a respectful conversation with someone who practices a non-Christian religion.

🙏My goal is to understand your worldview, not to debate or argue. 🙏

I'd really appreciate any responses to these questions:
————————————
What led you to become a Muslim (or were you raised Muslim)?

What keeps you committed to Islam?

What do you think the world is for?

In your own words, what do you believe is the purpose of human life?

What aspect of Islam do you find most beautiful?

What do you believe is humanity's biggest problem, and how is that problem ultimately solved?

What role does Jesus (Isa) play in Islam, and how do you understand him?

What do you think happens after death, and how can someone have confidence about their standing before God?

Is there anything you wish Christians understood better about Islam?

Is there anything else you think is essential for someone outside Islam to understand about your faith?

———————————————

I would appreciate answers to all these questions, but feel free to answer as many or as few as you want! Thank you in advance!

Salam aleikum ikhwan

Recently, I started memorizing the Quran. At the moment, I am in a phase where I mainly listen to my own recitation to improve it. I have noticed myself, and others have also mentioned, that my voice has a naturally nasal tone.

I try to imitate Sheikh Shuraim’s recitation style because I listen to him daily and feel that his style suits my voice and is one I can relate to.

My question is: Since I live in the Netherlands, I am looking for an institute or school that can help me improve my Quran recitation (tajweed) as well as my memorization (hifdh). This question is mainly directed to my brothers who live in the Netherlands. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Salam alaikum everybody, i have a question regarding dua. So we all know dua is accepted in 3 ways: granted as it is, removes harm or saved for the hereafter. My question is does making that same dua over and over again, years even, continuously, change the way it's answered ? Like maybe it has removed a harm coming my way and since i'm still making it will have a chance to be actually granted ? This seems weird to ask but i'm genuinely wondering. If there's any people of knowledge i'd love to have an answer because idk who to ask.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise, a house in the middle of Paradise, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who gives up arguing even if he is right.”

Source: al-Mu’jam al-Kabīr 217

Grade: Hasan li ghayrihi

Often times what I see on this subreddit and others is that people start out respectfully debating ideas but then soon it devolves into an ego-driven exchange. People keep on replying because they don't want the other to "have the last word." They think stopping replying means they've "lost the argument."

Often these internet arguments devolve into name calling "you're so dumb," or something. Often, I see on reddit arguments a reasonable person who's respectfully trying to explain ideas and the other person is being condescending, name calling, and not listening. I always remind the first person that giving up arguing is aligned with Islamic ethics.

Next time you are in an online debate with someone, make a mental checklist before you hit Reply each time. It is in Islamic ethics to constantly examine our niyyah (intention). Intentions can subtly change over the course of an argument.

Checklist before everytime you hit Reply:

- What percentage of my niyyah (intention) is a genuine attempt to provide guidance or exchange of ideas? What percentage of my niyyah is out of a fear of losing?

- Am I afraid that silence will look like defeat?

- Am I mocking, belittling, or using sarcasm? Is my language pleasing to Allah SWT?

- Would I be happy if I was proven wrong?

- Has the conversation become counterproductive? Is the other person mocking, insulting, or refusing to engage honestly?

Takeaway

As Muslims, we must fight our nafs to purify ourselves of arrogance. Sometimes, this can come in the form of arguing because you're afraid of looking like you lost. Even if you know you're right.

If you have made key points and the other person isn't listening, then walk away. You cannot force acceptance of an idea immediately but you can plant a seed. Readers can read both sides and judge for themselves.

(SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS POST ALREADY BUT I’M JUST RE UPLOADING BECAUSE I DELETED IT TOO SOON)

I know people say that you should never underestimate the power of Allah, but isn’t it unrealistic to make dua for “the impossible?”

I’ve finished my exams but I honestly don’t believe I did too great and I’m really worried about my grades. Not only that, but I’ve been wanting to attend a really good university and after my exams, I believe I definitely did not get the grades I needed, though I do not get my results until August. Despite the last 2 years consisting of hardcore revision and discipline, I missed many questions during my exams due to limited time constraints, and the ones that I DID answer, were not at the best of my abilities. My question is, would it be unrealistic to have hope? I really want to attend to get the grades that I know I deserve, and the university that I’ve been wanting to attend, but I genuinely did not perform to well during my exams and it’s bringing me a lot of stress and worry. I feel as if making dua is my only hope, but even with that I don’t believe I’ll get/have gotten the grades.

Assalāmu ‘alaykum

​

Since my time studying in Egypt is unfortunately coming to an end, I have to start thinking about my goals and my time in the UK. One of those goals is educating and preparing myself for marriage - may Allāh make it easy for the brothers that are/will be searching.

​

Do you all have any tips on topics to research, and any specific material to go through?

​

What I currently have in mind is:

​

Topics - fiqh & virtues of marriage & women, women's psychology and traits, reasons for Muslim divorce, gender roles, how to give da‘wah

​

Materials - The Marriage Guide by Sheikh Albānī, Marital Guide by Sheikh ibn Bāz, Marriage and Divorce playlist by Sheikh Abū Suḥaib, Words of Advice Regarding Da‘wah by Sheikh ibn Bāz

​

BārakAllāh fīkum

I am a 21-year-old Muslim from a Slavic/Eastern European background. I converted to Islam about 4 years ago, Alhamdulillah, and I take my deen seriously. My intention is to get married in a halal and proper way, Insha’Allah — not casually, but with real commitment and long-term purpose.
The challenge I face is my environment. I live in a small town in Germany where the Muslim community is very small, so it’s difficult to naturally meet someone with serious marriage intentions. The nearest bigger city, like Berlin, is about 3 hours away, but even that feels uncertain in terms of finding the right person.
Another issue is that I often struggle to find someone I feel truly compatible with, both in terms of values and personal attraction. The options around me feel very limited, and that makes the process frustrating at times.
At the same time, I try to stay patient, make dua, and trust Allah (SWT) with tawakkul, believing that everything happens in its right time. But I also feel I need to take more practical steps and don’t fully know what the best approach is in my situation.
I genuinely want to know what someone in my position should do to increase the chances of finding a righteous spouse with serious marriage intentions, Insha’Allah.

So I am Christian, and I work in a large facility with a break room/cafeteria. A few times now, I have been on a break in a semi-enclosed space within the cafeteria (couch, chairs, books etc; it's pretty neat honestly), and a Muslim man has come in and said his prayers in a corner very close to me. I have always just stayed put , looking at my phone or whatever, and he has left immediately after.

​

Do you think the more polite or respectful thing would be for me to leave the room? I just figured not making a fuss or giving the wrong impression by getting up was the way to go, but idk. I never see the guy any other time, so I haven't asked him....

I'm a Muslim currently working in Japan, and There isn't a mosque near where I live. The nearest one is about an hour away by train, What troubles me even more is my job. I work at a pig slaughterhouse. The reason I came here was because my family is burdened with debt, and the wages in my home country weren't enough for me to help them pay the debt and still survive myself.

​

Before coming here, I applied to many places, but this was the only company that accepted me. At the time, it felt like I had no real alternative if I wanted to support my family.

​

I try to keep my faith, pray as much as I can, and do my best in my circumstances, but I often feel conflicted about my situation. I know what Islam teaches regarding pigs, and sometimes I wonder whether I'm doing something wrong by continuing this job when it's currently my family's main source of support.

​

I'm genuinely looking for advice from people who may have knowledge of Islam or who have been in similar situations. How should someone in my position approach this?

Last year I was going through a really tough time in my life and it brought me close to Allah (swt). My mom kept telling me if I just stayed steadfast in my salah and continue to remember Allah in dhikr and such that I wouldn’t feel this pain in my heart anymore, but it just never went away no matter how close I got to Him. I’m not sure what more I can do anymore. Since then I’ve been having a hard time reconnecting to Allah again and I feel extremely guilty about it but it feels like nothing will make my pain go away. Feels like I either have really bad luck or Allah doesn’t love me anymore.

I've recently embraced tawheed and true Islam and I feel like I'm closer to Allah than I was before and think that I was guided by Him. however my life recently has been filling up with challenges and I don't think I can ever find solutions to these problems or get relief from the things I've lost. I try to tell myself to trust His plan and surrender the things I can't solve, because I think I'm too weak for that. even after trying that, i still feel attached to the person I lost, and the immense despair I'm experiencing from the things that I need to solve but can't

I've heard you need to put in effort if you want something, but they're out of my hands and idk where to start from

so how do I trust Allah?? I want to have faith in Him and his plan but why can't I trust him enough? how do I change my way of thinking and increase my faith

I work at a place where mostly people are Christians and Atheists. I try to keep myself in the most state of Taqwa as best I can, meaning not backbite about supervisors, do zikr and not do zina of the eyes as being in my job women wear all kind of clothes and my colleagues kind of keep on pointing this out and I keep my eyes down and keep on telling them to behave as they might be someone's sister, mother and daughter but it keeps on striking weird arguments between them and me. Now I do want to make them realize whats the best course, first of not staring at other people's body/outfits, then try doing dawah like telling them that they need to be spending time on better things like reading and indulging in self elevation and they think im either completely old school and come down even harder on me to take me to do clubbing with them or start to ridiculing me which tbh I dont feel any remorse towards. I dont know how to push this back, or ignore and not do dawah anymore or what path to take forward from here. Any help in this regard will be very helpful. Thank you

I argued that while Christianity and Islam are two different religions, Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism are different branches of the same religion. My reasoning is that the three Christian branches share the same core doctrine (trinity, salvation through the cross, etc.) but just differ on practice and rituals whereas Christianity and Islam have fundamentally different core doctrines (Trinity, crucifixion vs Tawhid, Jesus being replaced and sent directly to heaven). Of course my underlying point is that sharing core doctrines is what differentiates a branch of a religion from a religion.

My friend argued that the different Christian branches are all different religions in the same way Christianity and Islam are different religions. He thinks that not only core doctrines, but also practice and rituals are core to the distinction. So Catholicism and Protestantism would be different religions because of papal infallibility vs not, faith plus works vs sola scriptura, etc. But I find this nonsensical though because then my childhood denomination (the United Church of Christ) would fundamentally be a different religion from United Methodists or Presbyterians, which I find ridiculous. Who do you agree with and why?

My father was a Muslim… he wasn’t the greatest man. He died indebted to many people. He abused his children(especially me), and his wife a lot. He struggled with a lot of mental issues and his own abuse as a child. I loved him a lot and pray for him during every prayer. What can I do to help him now that he’s gone? In a couple years I’ll be a doctor InshAllah and all I want to do is give to my parents, the one alive and the one deceased. I cared for him for 6 months before he passed… I feel like that wasn’t enough. My goals atm are to help my mother first, as much as I can and if Allah allows me InshAllah. Also figure out a legitimate way to help my father. It’s been almost 3 years since his passing but I still feel grief and am conflicted.

I’ve been struggling nonstop with Islam since about 2 years now and I just can’t seem to bring my heart any relief regarding it.

Not only do I rarely pray, which I realise is quite a big factor affecting my belief, but I just can’t seem to believe completely either. With the rise of atheism online, I find myself so so puzzled with what to believe and what not.

They bring up some logical points in their arguments like:

-Religion was created by man to cope with the fact there is nothing after death

-Religion was created by man because they couldn’t accept the fact women make life and want to control them further

And just other science related points like how heaven and hell cannot be possible and similar arguments.

Please if someone could help me open my eyes and my heart because I want to believe so so bad, I literally yearn for it, to be secure in my faith and have comfort regarding this life and the HereAfter.

Assalamualaikum everyone,

I'm going through something difficult and I don't know how to explain it properly, but I'll try.

For the past two to three years, I've felt like nothing in life has any real meaning. Everything feels empty, not in a sad way necessarily, just hollow. Like nothing matters. I know intellectually that Islam gives life purpose, but I can't feel it. It's like there's a wall between me and that conviction.

The part that worries me most is my ibadah. I pray, but my heart isn't in it. When I try to recite Quran, something inside me resists, like I'm being pulled away from it. I don't feel khushoo, I don't feel connection, nothing. And the more this continues, the more my life feels like it's slipping out of my control. My nafs feels completely untamed.

Some people have suggested it could be the evil eye or jinn interference. I'm not dismissing that, but I genuinely don't know how to evaluate it or where to start.

My questions for the community:

Has anyone experienced this kind of spiritual numbness or disconnection?

How do you distinguish between a spiritual or psychological crisis and something like ain or jinn?

What helped you return to Allah when your heart felt completely closed off?

Any sincere advice would be appreciated. JazakAllah khair.

What actually is the meaning/translation of the shahada?

So people say Allah is the Arabic word for God, but if that were the case if you were to translate the shahada into English wouldn’t it read

“There is no God but God.”

Which doesn’t make sense, however I have seen another translation which is

“There is no deity but God.”

Which again that couldn’t really make sense because the use of the word deity isn’t just exclusive to a creator, it may be anything of spiritual nature with significant influence but not necessarily a sole creator.

Then to say “There is no God but Allah” that could not be classed as a full translation as you have not translated the word Allah which kind of brings us back in a loop to “There is no God but God”

The reason I’m seeking clarity on this is because now I’m seeing “There is no God only Allah” using “only” instead of “but” suggests that Allah is implying pre existing understandings of what God is does not exist and that Allah is of a different nature.

I’ll attach a picture here which sparked my thinking. As though the idea of God being a separate entity is redefined in the shahada as there is no God (separate entity) there is just Allah (the Oneness). And as Allah said all creatures submit to him willingly or unwillingly this supports the idea that all creation is one with Allah.

Now, what I’m about to say may raise some eyebrows and in no way shape or form am I saying this is a reliable way to think about Islam or religion in general but I’d thought I’d share. A couple of years ago before I was even certain I believed in God I smoked DMT which is a type of psychedelic, me and the other person both came to a conclusion where everything felt one and we did not feel alone. I find it to difficult to try articulate that feeling but it was as thought there was no separate self or ego there just was this feeling everything is one. Since reading the quote below it did take me back to remembering how that experience felt. I am opposed to the idea of using substances now and I do not believe it’s the right route into understanding things but there probably are a lot of reverts who at a time wanted to seek truth so badly before we heard about Islam and likely have done these things.

But it had me thinking is Allah the One or the Oneness?

I’ve also heard people say that the translation of Allah is The God rather than just God which again further confuses things.

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am a 20-year-old Muslim currently suffering from intense Waswasa.

In my family, many struggle with OCD. I personally have never been diagnosed or sought therapy. Why? I’m not sure. Perhaps I’ve been hesitant because I want to rely solely on Allah to heal me.

My Waswasa has become so severe at times that it affects my daily life. I struggle to sleep or think clearly. It is an immense burden, and as a result, I feel my Iman weakening. Every small incident triggers a spiral of anxiety.
For example, I recently created a GMX email account for newsletters, using fake details because I wanted to stay private. A test subscription was accidentally started, which I cancelled within minutes. For most people, this would be the end of it. But my brain immediately starts creating "What if?" scenarios: "What if I get into legal trouble because of the fake details?" "What if, even after deleting the account, I start receiving bills for payments I never made?"

The truth is, there was no invoice because it was a free trial month, and using a pseudonym is not illegal. I know this logically, yet my mind keeps racing. Why does my brain do this?

My parents tell me I must learn to fear only Allah, and I truly try to do that. But the scenarios Shaitan plants in my mind keep me from finding peace. This fear is consuming me. I was never a person who worried about such trivial things. When I talk to my mother about my worries, she tells me: "It won’t happen! By Allah’s will, it won’t happen! Just trust in Him."

I admire how calm and peaceful she moves through life. Her trials are often greater than mine, yet she never lets fear take over. Her Tawakkul is immense.
How can I reach that state? How do I stop overthinking and questioning every single action? How do I stop fearing things that haven’t even happened and most likely never will? Any advice or Dua would be greatly appreciated.

Ever since last year, for some reason ive been missing my prayers more and more and I feel so guilty of it. I have been praying but not consistently. For instance, maybe today I'll pray Zuhr and Asr but tomorrow I might pray Asr and Maghrib. Sometimes I dont even pray at all. I have been in a hardship for a year now and I want this to stop. Everytime I want to pray I just purposely forget although I know skipping it would lead to a hardship even harder and it being just simply sinful. How do I start praying again and tighten my iman with Allah?

Asalamu alaykum everybody. This is my very first post ever on Reddit. I have been struggling for a while now with a lot of things that have challenged me and my faith. I have just finished university and it is safe to say that this has been the hardest year of my life. Anxiety is destroying me. I have severe health anxiety. I pray so much to Allah.

I pray tahajjud. I studied 2 years for a medical school exam that I failed twice. My dream was to go to pharmacy school and I was rejected this year. I was rejected from 2 of the masters I applied for. I do not have many friends, if any. It is safe to say that we live in a time where I feel that other Muslim girls tend to give evil eye to one another and can sometimes belittle one another as I have consistently seen around me. I keep to myself but sometimes it gets too much. I never enjoyed university because I had no friends. I am so sick and tired of the endless nights I spend without sleep because of my anxiety.

I am anxious all the time and when it stops, I am lucky for a day or two before I pay attention to my body excessively and it spikes again. I would say my faith is strong alhamdullilah but can definitely be improved. I am jobless and have applied to so many jobs. My last job I applied for I did 3 interview rounds that wrecked me emotionally and physically and I ended up being let go after being trained in. I never felt comfortable in the job and prayed tahajjud that night and subhanallah the next day they rejected me and I went with the mentality and belief that Allah saw something I could not see, so of course alhamdullilah for that blessing.

But it gets too much sometimes. I am sad for no reason sometimes and I can’t help but feel that I am wasting my life away doing nothing. It was really bad last year and I was convinced it was evil eye as in my last job I was getting a lot of compliments and I talked too much which I stopped doing and have noticeably felt I was getting better. The truth is that I need advice with life. Why am I praying so much for something but it is not granted? I will spend years praying for something and that dream will come shattering down on me without reason. I want to be happy and healthy again even if my studies don’t fulfill me or I am not surrounded my friends. I just want my health back ya Allah. Thank you for reading this far.

Hello to everybody in the community!

I’m writing a paper on religious views regarding drug use, including not only illegal substances but also legal ones, whether prescribed by a doctor or available to buy. It also includes cigarettes and nicotine addiction.

The premise is simple: different religions and their views regarding drug use, as well as how religious communities prevent, address and support members dealing with active addiction.

I’ve spoken to some religious leaders but would appreciate hearing from practitioners to gain a broader perspective.

Thank you very much!

Salam everyone,

I'm actually not Muslim, I'm an antizionist Jew, but I have nothing but respect for Islam and Muslims.

I am coming here because I recently got my heart broken by a Muslim man who dated me for three years without introducing me to his parents, and who then dropped me because of them. The Muslim girlies warned me, but I didn't listen.

I'm coming here to literally beg Muslim men to, if you get into a relationship with a non-Muslim girl, PLEASE inform them of their Islamic rights in the relationship RIGHT AWAY and DON'T do haram things and lie and tell us it's halal. Please go about things the right way if you want to be with a girl. Go to your parents. Ask an imam or sheikh.

I know this isn't all Muslim men, not by a long shot, but if you are even considering dating a person of the book and doing haram things while saying it's halal, please take this post to heart. Don't get close if you're doing it in a way that will keep you from staying close.

It hurts you and it hurts us if you treat us this way.

my body is slowly giving up on me. i have been living in survival mode for so long that i don’t remember what peace feels like anymore.

every day feels like i’m just trying to make it through the next hour. i’ve prayed, made dua, tried to stay patient, but i’m exhausted. i feel like i’m carrying years of fear, stress and pain with no real break from it.

the hardest part is that i can feel my faith slipping. i don’t want it to. i still think about Allah constantly, but i’m struggling to understand why this keeps happening. i don’t know how much more of this i can carry.

i don’t want anything extraordinary from life. i just want some relief. i want to feel normal again. right now i feel physically and emotionally worn down, and i’m scared of what all this is doing to me.

Hello everyone. I’m a Muslim woman (ethnically Turkish but born and raised in UK) but I’m not as practicing as I want to be - as an example, I don’t currently know how to properly perform the five daily prayers, although I want to learn and inshaAllah become more consistent over time, I fast during Ramadan (and of course do not consume any alcohol or pork etc.) I try to do the best I can currently, I regularly make dua and read prayers, but overall salah is something I’m still working on learning.

I wanted to pray Tahajjud for a personal reason and because I genuinely want to connect with Allah. My question is, even though I don’t currently pray the five daily prayers, is it still okay for me to pray Tahajjud? Do you think it could still be accepted, or should I wait until I’ve learned and become more consistent with the daily prayers?

I’d appreciate any advice or thoughts, thank you everyone

Can you guys help me with specific prayers or stuff that I can do to dream about her?

So I lost a really loved one, a girl who accepted my flaws as it is, who didn't ever get bored from me opening up and telling her all my flaws and kept me safe and even encouraged me to do better, wether it's with my relationship with God, fighting addictions and even doomscrolling. I really really love her infact I adore her.

I didn't do her justice when she were alive, I thought by refusing any form of love would I be safe, I didn't accept my feelings till she told me her lifespan, now I'm torn if I loved her before that or after it, and it just hurts so much to think that if my feelings were only amplified by it or did I really love her that. I mean I liked talking to her, starting my day I would message her, something funny I would share with her, just talk about life, waiting for her replies, I know all of that screams love but why didn't I think of "I love her", maybe because she was 2 years older, maybe because she was much smarter, maybe because she even had a guy she would always talk about.

The thought that I might have only became her boyfriend for the last days of her life because I couldn't understand my feelings hurts me so much, I rather to believe that I was lying to myself the entire time I knew her before her telling me my span.

I still adore her now I want to be hers in heaven and do her the justice she deserves.

It pains me whenever I go to sleep and I don't dream of her "does she forgive me?", "Did I love her like a partner?", "Why doesn't she want to visit me and ease life on me like she always did?", why am I thinking of her saying 'sorry, love sorry for everything" while she's crying and turning her back and leaving, I don't want that.

Also thoughts like "why can't she visit me is she in hell?"

"Why can't she visit me is she having a hard life in barzakh?" I can't help but overthink everything.

I know that with "hardness comes ease, with hardness comes ease" I want to her to be the ease our time together was short I can't handle it.

I wanted to travel with her, hang out more, go to festivals and ceremonies.

I just want to see her again, talk to her again, I want to know if she will be my wife and partner in heaven since we couldn't even reach the age of marriage together.

I'm going to become old and wrinkle and she will always be as youthful as ever I want her to see me getting older, to guide me again, to tell me "I'm with you it's gonna be okay", to tell me "I'm happy here thanks for everything im waiting for you to put the ring here just like you promised if I had time.".

I literally can't type enough so if you guys have any questions please feel free to ask.

So please can any of you help know how to dream of her, I have been praying for it much, crying while praying for it, it has been 2 months and it just gets harder.

Du’a For Overthinking & Anxiety 🌻

Today we are exposed to the suffering of millions of people in ways no previous generation experienced. A person wakes up in the comfort of their home and within minutes sees war, famine, floods, poverty, political turmoil, economic uncertainty, and the personal struggles of family and friends.

The human heart was not designed to bear the emotional weight of the entire globe every hour of the day. For anyone who suffers from anxiety, remember to make du’a, May Allah make it easy for all of us 🤲🏻🌻

Asslamu alaikum! I hope everyone is well.

A Muslimah who is close with me admitted that there are multiple Muslims and non-Muslims she has slandered and back-bitten in the past. She has been able to receive direct forgiveness from some, but she has lost contact with others.

Although it's permissible to give Sadaqah on behalf of Muslim people, she is wondering if it is permissible to give Sadaqah in the name of the non-Muslims she's wronged? Would £/$100 suffice for all the people she's wronged and doesn't remember, in addition to sincere repentance? She's really desperate for forgiveness and for being cleared of this spiritual debt, In Sha Allah.

Thank you!

I wanna talk about miswak: the sunnah toothbrush of our beloved prophet Muhammad, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the problem of all modern day toothbrushes is: they are toxic (releasing microplastics), and they pollute our planet, because plastic toothbrushes are thrown away everyday in the world, the miserable attempts of trying to fix those mistakes come to animal fur (usually pig or horse) but their problem is that they are haven for bacteria multiplication, and they fastly lose their cleaning effect. And the way they are trying to fix it is just hilarious, because they wanna make reusable toothbrushes, well to be exact reusable toothbrush holders, they wanna sell just the top heads with bristles separately from the handles, which maybe lower the plastic pollution while still leaving the microplastics problem.

Miswak on the other hand, is a cleaning, eco, hygienic, affordable and renewable alternative to the modern day toothbrush that was forced tonus by big companies, it may feel unusual the first time you use it ( maybe its specific smell,or that its a just a straight pick) , but overtime these weird feelings about miswak just disappear and the pros of miswak heavily very heavily overweight the cons.

What should i say, our Prophet's ,(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), sunnah still beats brands force.

For me, this post is a vent and an attempt to understand others. I’m not trying to judge anyone but i’m in despair and i feel helpless not understanding others or knowing what to do.

I do not want any arguments about hijab, tabarruj or music. I know what i believe to be true and if you do not believe it to be true then this post isn’t directed at you respectfully. I want to understand those who believe but simply do not care and i want to know of those who can relate with me.

I do not listen to it but navigating everyday life without it is quite difficult because it’s everywhere. But i try my best to avoid functions with it. Culturally, music is ingrained in all cultures. It is a known part of most celebrations even something as simple as a picnic. I find that when I’m in such functions where music is played, i cant enjoy the whole thing. I end up being like a grinch and a downer. I am not comfortable and i end up feeling sad and helpless not understanding why everyone else is so hung up on music.

I become even more sad when i see children dancing to music and parents encouraging it because it is a cultural thing. It makes me scared for my own child and for the ummah. It feels like i am standing by a window looking into a room with people playing loud music, laughing and dancing and i just don’t understand.

I am trying so hard to obey Allah and i look around me and no one cares. Does it not matter? Same thing with the hijab and tabarruj. I do not like to snap pictures with others because it becomes weird to tell them not to post me when i am already in a picture with them. And then people take offense that i do not take pictures.

I struggle everyday with my hijab and i look around and no one else cares. It is not an issue of having a hijab journey. It is simply what is culturally accepted as modesty triumphing the legislated hijab and nobody cares. I am the one overdoing it to them.

So muslim girlies who perhaps understand all what i wrote and can relate to an extent. How do you deal with it? Your emotions and your relations with others? And if there’s anyone who simply doesn’t care.. what’s your thought process? What’s your plan? Do you really not care?

Assalamu Alaikum,

I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time, and I hope someone can help me understand it.

I am a Muslim, but the main reason I am Muslim is that I was born into a Muslim family. At the same time, I have friends who are not Muslims because they were born into non-Muslim families and were raised with different beliefs.

Because of this, I sometimes wonder: isn’t that an unfair advantage for me and a disadvantage for them? If I had been born in their circumstances, I might have followed the religion I was raised with as well.

This question becomes even more difficult for me when I hear people say that non-Muslims will not enter Paradise. If people’s beliefs are heavily influenced by where and to whom they were born, how is that justice ? How does Islamic theology address this concern while maintaining Allah’s perfect justice and mercy?

I am asking sincerely and respectfully,I genuinely want to understand.
