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

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

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

Every fear

Every irritation

Every “what if”

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

When your mind says:

What if this happens?

Say

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

When you think:

I know they’re going to hurt me again.

Say

Ya Allah, protect me from what I fear coming

When anger creeps in:

They always do this. It irritates me so much.

Say

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

When someone degrades you, insults you

Say

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

When loneliness whispers:

What if I’m left behind again? Forgotten?

Say:

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

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

Your mind keeps replaying scenarios because your heart wants security

So give it the right direction

Allah says:

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

(Qur’an 40:60)

So instead of drowning in thoughts, redirect them upward

Make this your Ramadan reflex:

Thought → Dua

Fear → Dua

Anger → Dua

Insecurity → Dua

You will feel lighter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

May Allah protect our Ummah! 🤲

Salam everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

Any advice would be really appreciated.

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

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

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

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

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

Assalamu alaykum. I’ve been going through a lot lately. Honestly, most of my life has been very difficult and painful but I feel like I’m nearing my breaking point. I don’t know how much I can take anymore. I’m trying to stay patient and trust Allah, but I’ve been feeling overwhelmed.

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

May Allah accept all your duas and ibadah and grant you relief in your own struggles as well! جزاك الله خير

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

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

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

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

why have we fallen this badly?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

but why do people not learn?

I'm (f) and have been speaking to (m) for about 5 months now. We had an issue or 2 with him lying to me but we overcame that and I still considered him because he apologized alot and had me gain his trust back. We have the same values, the same religious views, same way of wanting to raise childern and he will be a doctor soon and we are the same ethnicity. He works out and prays 5 times a day as well. Just one thing he said he will try his best but can't guarantee a separate accommodation for me. And we will certainly have to live at least 3 to 4 years with his parents in the beginning. He only has his parents and a sister My age and even tho I really didn't want this I decided to over look it because he has all these good qualities, and just hope we'll be able to afford a separate place. He said he's the only son so he does want to care for and pay for his parents the rest of his life, and if he does live separately he wants to live 5 or 10 min away from them. He lives in the uk and I'm from the US.

Just one thing he doesn't really make me laugh. His jokes are mostly about a second wife or joking to "annoy me". I do make him laugh but I don't even think my own jokes are that funny. I have siblings and friends where I laugh really easily and have alot of inside jokes with. Me and him have no inside jokes. Idk if it's a compatability issue or just a humor issue. Is humor really that important in a marriage? Sometimes I don't even feel like talking to him because I feel like he doesn't get me or really understand me I guess. But I also don't want to let go of someone with the right core values and he has done alot to nake it easy for me to introduce him to my parents as well which I don't think anyone else will do for me since my parents are really strict.

TL;DR: we share values and he’s serious about marriage, but there are red flags: past lying, no guaranteed separate housing, and weak emotional/humor connection. I feel misunderstood and torn between compatibility concerns and not wanting to lose someone who checks major boxes and works with my strict parents.

Hello, I’m writing this post because I’ve been wondering whether this is allowed or not :

Do my prayers count if I listen to each prayer from a YouTube video and recite them out loud while the prayer is playing in my headphones?

I do this because I struggle to remember the prayers, and this method helps me greatly by reducing mistakes while reciting. I was wondering if this is allowed in Islam.

Salam alaikum 💗

I’m a single mother to a toddler. This year I will finish my degree in psychology.

I’ve been thinking about making hijrah for years, but the past few months it has been weighing heavily on my heart. Living in Norway makes me feel sad and drained — the cold, darkness, lack of community, and negative experiences with people. I also really want to raise my daughter in a Muslim environment.

Right now I’m considering:

Malaysia

Madinah

Qatar

Does anyone have experience living in any of these places?

I’d love to know:

• Which country is easiest to get a visa in?

• Average rent and living costs

• Which place is easiest to move to alone as a mother

Any advice would mean a lot to me 🤍

Hello. I'm not sure where to post this, so please let me know if this is not the right place.

I was considering the state of the world today and different things I have learned about the end times eschatology. While thinking about these things, I began to wonder - is it possible that the staff of Solomon is actually his wisdom? Didn't he wish for greater wisdom than any other human - divine wisdom that comes from God? I feel there is spiritual truth to that, and I don't know entirely why. What are your thoughts?

Also, while I still am uncertain what the beast of the earth could be, is it possible it is simply decay? As the divine wisdom in the world and societies within the world begin to decay (& decline), then the jinn realized that Solomon had died since the world had changed due to the divine wisdom that was lost and is still being lost? If no kingdom on earth would ever be like Solmon's, then is it possible that his kingdom held technology that no kingdom on earth would ever hold again in its history?

Is this a possible interpretation? I am asking for a religious theologian's opinion as this in more just intutition (about the wisdom) and logic (about the decay)?

Also, I try to keep in mind that things like this can have multiple meanings that all may be true where the staff may represent multiple things, not just divine wisdom - and yet, all meanings may be true intentionally. (I think of them like layers of knowledge as they are inherently different, yet related.) Hence, the beauty of the Qu'ran and other divine spiritual knowledge.

I believe divine wisdom is being lost at an alarming rate as people are focusing more on falsehoods than truth (such as self-images projected on social media rather than the truth of who an individual actually is). I don't know if that makes sense. Is it possible today's technology is only a poor imitation of the technology present during Solomon's reign?

Any thoughts? Any wisdom or knowledge from a religious perspective?

Salaam Alaikum everyone, I have recently been looking for a Ramadan planner/journal and saw many amazing options online but a lot of them were focused on very rigid tracking of worship (ibadaat) and not much reflection (tafakkur). I believe Ramadan is all the precious time we should be reflecting upon our life and hereafter and setting goals for ourselves as muslims, then I came across this one journal on gumroad that had the dome of the rock in Palestine on the cover and it drew my attention so much, we always see the Kaaba on prayer mats and covers of islamic stuff but not much so the dome of the rock and it intrigued me to purchase it. One of the prompts on the first days was something like “someone you want to see in jannah…” and I immediately started crying because it touched a very human thing in me that I cannot fathom yet. I have not written on the journal yet but I have been having fun filling in the daily prayers on the salah tree which is a tree drawing you color in your 5 daily prayers and one apple for one juz you read. Idk i thought it was really creative to be a part of the journal. Idk if this is something relevant but I just wanted to share the template on here and may Allah reward the sister/brother who created this journal. Jazakallah.

Also please let me know of any other islamic journaling templates or planners you came across and loved !!

Jazakallah.

Assalamu alaikum, please share any reciters who resemble this reciter? Unless you actually have recordings of this person. He seems to be a brother who recites Qu’ran in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

I understand his tajweed has mistakes but his recitation is very soothing masha’Allah.

Spotting while fasting

Asalaam Walikum brothers and sisters,

I am currently making up days of fasting before Ramadan and I’ve hit a little snag, which I hit every year and I still haven’t found an answer.

I woke up for suhoor this morning, used the restroom, and saw a discoloration. When I checked my cycle tracking app, I saw that I was set to start my period in two days. I tend to spot 2-3 days before my period really begins, but there will be times where I will spot and then my cycle doesn’t start for several more days, so much so that my app has to ask me if I’ve started yet. Here’s my question:

  1. Do I stop fasting when I start spotting? Or, do I stop fasting when my flow really begins? My sister is Hanafi and tells me to stop fasting as soon as I see discoloration, while my sister-in-law is Maliki and tells me not to stop until my flow really begins. She tends to recommend making up the days where I spotted, which brings me to my second question…

  2. Do I make up days where I was spotting?

  3. What do I do if I stop fasting, my spotting stops for several days, and then my flow begins? I don’t want to end up missing half of Ramadan.

Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. This is the one part of Ramadan that gives me so much anxiety every single year.

Please only respond here, so other sisters can benefit from the answers.

With Ramadan just around the corner, I've been reflecting on how different the experience must be for those who are relatively new to Islam.

For those of you who reverted in the past year or two — how are you feeling about the upcoming Ramadan?

Are you excited? Nervous? A bit of both?

And for those who've been through it — what's one piece of advice you wish someone had told you before your first Ramadan?

JazakAllah Khair 🌙
