March 2026

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.

Note: My English is Probably not good

I was Scrolling on tiktok and i saw some ppl saying that the verse 51:47 is a scientific miracle because it talks abt The Universe expansion because the word [وإنا لموسعون] according to them means "and we are its expander", but when i searched the tafsir of the verse, The word [وإنا لموسعون] means " and we are its vast", is the actual meaning of [لموسعون] is "its expander" or "its vast"?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Has anyone experienced this and came out of it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Assalamualeikum wa Rahmatullahiwa Barakatu.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is just an example among too many.

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

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

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

Last 10 days of ramadan

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

from Islam https://ift.tt/R6yq2Ba

Salam everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Please advise.

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

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

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

God bless!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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