Ex Muslim turned Muslim again but during a certain period of time i became a Christian and many people at the hospital saw me with a Christian book and saw i had a Christian book in my hospital room

Do i have to try to get into the hospital again so that they can see that i now have the Quran again or is that not necessary?

Also a nurse commented on the Christian book and said the book must be good since its sold five million copies and i stupidly said yes

Also there is a possibility that a doctor and nurse saw i was wearing a cross

What to do?

(Assalamualaikum) I have a question (there's a lot of yapping downwards 💀)

I've noticed that I tend to yawn a lot right after finishing up a rakat or I get the urge to yawn when I'm doing the nodding to the right and left part (which obviously I suppress since I'm literally finishing up the rakat and it's the last step)

Like, I literally yawned so many times right after praying Asr and some Qaza rakats (due to me being in school during those hours)

So I'm confused as to what it means. I used to get the urge to yawn during salah and now it's mostly after. I tried to search up this means and all I get it "oh you're lazy and not focused," or "it's shaytaan" or "it's a psychological response due to how relaxed and focused you are during salah." And this doesn't exactly answer my question because my yawning isn't DURING salah, it's AFTER.

My grandma says that yawning afterwards is a good thing since I guess it shows it's working it's affect on you or something? Like, cleansing you? Not really sure what she means, but you can get the rough idea

So yeah, what's your interpretation of it? Or do you guys know what this means? Need some help here cause I wanna know and am very curious

function very well even when I drink alcohol, except that my anxiety disorder is worse when I come down from the hangover I don't have any scary and "worrying" withdrawal symptoms. I can only manage 3-4 days without alcohol so far. I'm a Muslim and it's destroying me, my soul, my heart and my body, slowly but surely. I don't even like alcohol. I always drink alone, only eat food and then I go straight to sleep because I get very tired. I was worse at the beginning, I drank a whole bottle of vodka every 1-2 days. Since I started drinking, I've stopped praying because my stupid brain thinks that I don't deserve Allah's appreciation and mercy. I'm just ashamed and think "my prayers won't be accepted for 40 days anyway"

Thank you for reading

I already know to make due in sujood and waking up early in the morning, I'm talking about like what I can do to guarantee it gets accepted by Allah especially as it's for a group of people.

I believe this one of the main things in Islam for Allah to be pleased with you and to enter jannah, but I feel people don’t put a lot of importance to it, remember the Hadith of the Prophet SAW saying a man is part of the people of paradise because of his heart and remember the Quran verse BUT ONLY ONE WHO COMES TO ALLAH WITH A SOUND HEART will be saved QURAN: 26:89 I feel people don’t put importance to this. And also in this dunya I believe if you have a pure heart things will go well for you speaking from my experience. Please purify your heart from 1. Shirk 2. Hatred 3. Envy 4. Jealousy 5. Covetousness, 6. Malice 7. Pride 8. Love of the world 9. Leadership

Hello brothers and sisters.

I am reading the Quran for the first time, as I progress in reading I am making some notes on how to learn to be a Muslim.

I am also starting to learn Arabic and these days I was very overwhelmed.

Try to practice ablution, also some prayers without specific order.

I do this to get into the habit and not to make it perfect in a daily basis, but I am afraid I am making a mistake. Maybe I should do it when I take it seriously? but I think the only way to remember is to do things.

These days I have been listless, I don't want to make things better and another worse. I am worried about not keeping the connection with Allah. He has helped me a lot this time, but sometimes I get exhausted and think about my work, studies, health.

Any advice you can give me?

By the way, when I do the wudu should I pray instantly? or can I purify myself now and do the pray later?

Thank you.

Ive converted from christian to muslim half a year ago, seeing that islam is truly what i believe in, with very beautiful values.

I have a severe ocd. So it can be im so stressed it might be hallucination. Im writing this because i feel scared and need advice/input of what is going on.

Ive recently started praying more and more. When i was doing the wudu ritual today, looking at the mirror, i saw a very cursed being that looked like sh... I dont even want to say the name and i dont want to describe it much but it was horrific. Evil. It feels bad because i dont even want to talk of such bad stuff like it. It was behind me on the left side of my shoulder.

I feel very scared and imagine something is messing with me. Tbh, ive never felt so scared.

Bcs ocd is about intrusive thought which is terrible, i had a bad intrusive thought about this matter and it was so bad and at that moment when i was playing my video game the game suddenly started bugging so differently soosososoo weirdly like it never done like that. Then i felt shadow looming over me and the room getting grim.

And when i was in the kitchen feeling scared after that, i imagine someone mess with the lights and laughter. And rn im back in my room, i most definetely heard my mirror move a bit.

Whatever it is, i will never stop praying and worshipping Allah. It wont make me stop being Allah's servant.

Ive been feeling more scared, stressed, i cant sleep much, only when i put my faith to Allah fully.

Im not sure i can post my whole story of the main paranormal stories happen in my life that leads me to believe im cursed, its terrifying, so if want can message and i send the story, its a long story worth of a chapter book, and rn i remember i didnt include all stories, i remember more stories rn that come to mind, its very serious and not for the light hearted

Assalamu alleykum.

I will try keep details to a minimum.

I am a university student, so above 18 years old.

A few months ago, my mother got a cancer diagnosis. It has been hard ofcourse. However she has chosen not to believe in doctors altogether, and so i don't know whether or not she has been recovering.

She has always been one to believe in conspiracy theories (bill gates microchip, 5g towers kill everyone)

She believes chemo is a way to suck money out of people, and won't help with her tumour. Instead, she is trying alternative methods, like starving for X amount of days, and more recently, taking in a horse parasite medicine that will supposedly cure cancer. She gets most of this information from Facebook, and family who also believe this sort of stuff.

I have tried telling her she should listen to doctors, I am worried about her and I think she is just refusing to believe in it because of all this conspiracy rubbish she feeds herself with. She now believes every disease in the world is caused by parasites, and that every person has deadly parasites within them. She says the only good way to get rid of them is through the horse medicine she is administering.

The issue is that she is making me take this medicine too. I say I do not want to, but she guilt trips me into doing it. She says she is sick, how can I refuse her. The medicine makes my stomach feel bad for an hour or two after having it. I asked her how much longer must I do this? She said a week. A week passes, and now she says 3 months, so today I said I won't be taking it. I said something along the lines of I'm an adult, and I do not believe in this form of medicine. She says I can't refuse my mother, that even if she were to tell me to take poison I must do it.

I said no. After some back and forth where I explained my point of view, how I do not believe at all in this, and do not want to take the medicine, she said she is extremely disappointed in the son I have become or something along those lines.

Am I in the wrong? Im sorrowed do you get medical condition, but I also don't want to see her falling down the rabbit hole of a conspiracy theorist, and forcing me to go along with it. The way I say it I am quite literally an adult. Some people marry my age, and yet I can't choose what medicine I do and don't take?

Please give unbiased, proper opinions

Assalamu alaykum, I have applied a medication on my hand to treat a wart and I would like to know if that invalidates if I can still pray or do wudhu

Assalamu alaykum! As a revert to Islam and someone who has always wanted to get married, I’m really committed to forming a halal relationship with someone who shares my faith and values. However, I’m facing a few challenges that I’m unsure how to navigate:

1. Family situation: My family is not Muslim, so I don’t have the option of someone from my family arranging my marriage. This means the men who might approach my dad for my hand in marriage are least likely to be Muslim.
2. Community and cultural barriers: I know a lot of Muslim marriages happen within cultural groups or families, but this isn’t really an option for me, and I’m unsure how to find someone who understands that. Also, now that I wear the hijab, I feel like I’m getting a lot of judgment from Muslim men (another story for another day) at university (they have seen me without one) which makes me feel out of place when I’m looking for someone to get to know for marriage. It kind of makes me feel like I am not worth it.
3. Finding the right person: I’m really nervous about going to the mosque because I’m still adjusting to my new life as a Muslim, and I don’t know how to approach meeting someone in a halal way.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, and how did you approach it? Any advice on finding a halal relationship when you’re a revert? How do you deal with cultural differences or family traditions that don’t align with a simple Islamic marriage? How do you navigate feelings of judgment or awkwardness in these situations?

OH! And I am a woman by the way.. if it was not obvious by the first two points lol

I would really appreciate any advice or support! :)

So in India there was a site called Ram Janmabhoomi. This was a temple built on where the Hindu deity Rama was born. It is one of, if not the most holiest site in Hinduism. Comparable to the Holy Sepulcher for Christians and the prophets masjid for Muslims. 500 years ago it was destroyed and the Babri masjid was built on top of it by a Mughal emperor in 1528. 1992 Hindus demolished it with the intent to rebuild the original temple. In 2019 the construction of the temple started and the Muslim community was granted a 5 acre plot of land 25 kilometers away to build another mosque.

So a lot of people are saying that this should have never happened and that the Babri masjid should have stayed. But here’s the thing, like I said Ram Janmabhoomi is one of the holiest sites in Hinduism, comparable to how the prophets masjid in Medina is one of the holiest sites in Islam. And Muslims would obviously never allow Hindus to build a temple on top of the prophets masjid. So basically many Muslims are saying that Hindus should have been fine with a mosque being built on one of their holiest sites in India, while they would never allow a temple to be built on the prophets masjid, one of the holiest Islamic sites in Saudi Arabia, and Hindu migrant workers are not even allowed to practice their religion there in public. Does this seem hypocritical to you? What do you think about the demolition of the Babri masjid and the construction of the Ayodhya Ram temple, do you think it should or should not have happened?

I used to smoke cig My & Vape for the last 8 years. I occasionally smoke weed.

Now by the grace of Allah i quit all for he last 5 months.

i usually sit in a gathering of my 15-20 year old friends where i they smoke weed.

My question is that as per ISLAM if i smoke weed, will this cause my prayers, Namaz & , Quran un-accaeptable for 40 days like it's for alcoh

SA, as we all know food is a blessing whoever one can go to far in with and over indulge. I’m trying to learn what the ideal food consumption is in a day so I can practice being satiated and satisfied with what was given to me.

Assalamu Wa'alaikum.

I will be travelling from UK to Qatar, then Qatar to Jeddah for 2 days and from Jeddah I will be travelling to Makkah to perform Insha'allah.

Would I be able to enter the state of Ihram from Jeddah airport before I get the Harmain train to Makkah?

Jazakallah Khair

I can't ask an honest question about topics like these without being met with criticism in real life so here I am and i'm not expecting better.

i've always felt a need to question the existence of humanity and the trials and tribulations that follow it.Islam says God always has a divine plan as a result of His perfect reasoning.

But in my perspective, only one reason lies out flat in front of me, one that is so shallow that even if you tried to add liquid on top of it to make it look somewhat deeper, the ground dries it up- very quickly, because no matter how hard i tried to think positively of it, i always somehow ended up with confusion laced with disappointment? It almost feels selfish.

The reason why Allah created humans and jinns and tests us is ONLY because He challenged Shaytaan.

He's literally God, He could just punish it at the spot or make it disappear. Instead He decides to create beings comparable to all the stars in the universe, and torture them immensely. Why? Just for His satisfaction?? He didn't like the thought of Shaytaan not being proven wrong? Or is it just the usual case of "Allah knows better." even though it is just us beings who will suffer if we don't please Him?

Hello, everyone! Some context: I've recently become interested in the teachings and practices of Islam. This came about when I was in class talking with my friends. We came on the topic of Abrahamic religions and their simularies to each other. After a while, we shifted to the topic of Islam and its similarities it shares with Christianity. at the time, I admittedly did not know much about this topic, so my friend, ever the helpful, pulled up the Qur'an on my laptop (which was sitting right infront of me). I read the first few stanzas and I was IMMEDIATELY entranced by the beautiful writing that is Arabic. I read a little bit, and it made me realize that the sentences that are recited in the Qur'an remind me a lot of my Christian up bringing. When I went home that day, I downloaded the Qur'an app and begun to read. And ever since that day, I've been seeking to learn more about the Qur'an and Allah. (swt) And, because of this, I want to attend my local mosque's Qur'an lessons and learn more about Islam and the Prophet Muhammed. (pbuh)

However, I am freshly an adult and still live with my family. I have my own car that I could theoretically drive to teachings, BUT my driving is restricted to only classes and work. Because of this, if I were to go to teachings, it would have to be behind their backs in secret; which I would be ashamed of doing. Additionally, if I were to THEORETICALLY do this, the only day I could possibly do it would be on a Sunday, since I get off of work earlier and the mosque is open for Qur'an lessons.

I have felt a great amount of guilt, fear, and shame for thinking this. I know that if they were to find out that I would be reprimanded heavily to where I cannot even imagine what they would do to me. Additionally, it would be the shame and guilt that comes with it for lying to them about my whereabouts and to keep apart of myself hidden for so long.

I feel like I'm at a really awkward fork in the road. I can"t decide if I should do what is "right" and "wrong".

Does anyone have advice?

Let’s say I earned 5k of haram money and I started business and that 5k was my capital. Business is completely halal and let’s say I earned 3k from it. Is that 3k considered halal or haram ?

I have diabetes and accasionaly I have to check my blood glucose levels, and to do so I need to pop a needle on one of my fingers. Only a little pint of blood come out but it doesn't flow, Is my wudu invalidated?

I wanna sleep on my stomach, but they say its prohibited or the wrong way of doing however when I sleep on my back I actually get aches, not proper sleep, + hate mouth breathing, etc. So yeah can you guys help, as long as I have no bad intentions with sleeping on my stomach its ok right ?

Assalamualaikum,

So I've had this problem recently where I'm constantly out changing my pants, shirts, etc. because of issues with impurities. It can be as simple as switching pants after urinating (even if I pat my boy dry, there's always a little dripping), or when I sleep in my bed and have a wet dream.

An additional problem I've been facing is pre-seminal fluid. Unlike peeing and wet dream, I have no idea when this can occur. I think it's even happened when I had no sexual arousal, like just randomly during the day my pants will be wet and then my Wudu's gone. I get scared sometimes that it'd happen during Jummah or Taraweeh and then I'd have no idea what to do then.

I'm fine with making Wudu over, but it's come to a point where if I sit on a chair, have an outburst, however small, I need to use a new pant before praying, but also if I sit on that same chair with my new pant without wiping down that chair, I need to get a new pant and so on and so forth.

For me it's come to a point where not only do I have to shift through a million pairs of pants on a weekly basis, I can't even sit down at the dinner table or by my family on the couch without going through another wardrobe change.

So my question is: how anal do I have to be regarding impurities. For an ejaculation from wet dreams (stopped masturbating when I was in middle school, Alhamdulillah, so no worries there) I get that I've got to effectively take a shower. But if there's a little drop of pee or pre-seminal fluid (there's a shorter term for this but I think it's a bad word) do I have to switch out my pants, or even further change my shirt or wipe down my chair even if the chance of that fluid touching the floor is miniscule.

Additional question: if I stand up in the bathroom and one of those impurities lands on the floor, then later if I step on that bathroom floor after it has dried up do I need to then wipe my feet?

Sorry for the general grossness of this post, just wanted to get some clarity InshaAllah.

After the Prophet (saw) met Jibreel, he was overwhelmed. He (saw) went to Khadija (rad) and said, “Cover me! Cover me!” They covered him till his fear was over, and after that, he told her everything that had happened and said, “I fear that something may happen to me.”

Khadija (rad) consoled him, “By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you, for by Allah,

(1) you keep good relations with your Kith and kin,
(2) speak the truth,
(3) help people experiencing poverty and in need
(4) entertain your guests generously and
(5) assist those who are stricken with calamities.”
(Bukhari 4953)

Unlike some spouses who might shift the focus and make the problem about themselves.

Some wives are uncomfortable and cannot risk being vulnerable in front of their husbands because the husband will shift the focus and make the problem all about himself.

Some husbands are uncomfortable and cannot risk being vulnerable in front of their wives because the wife will shift the focus and make the problem all about herself.

Khadijah (rad) could have shifted the focus to herself. She could have mentioned:

“You have been away to the cave, Hira, in worship. I have had to take care of our daughters. Since you have met an angel, how would people around you react? What would happen to my business? How will we survive?”

Instead, she stood by him (saw) during his moment of vulnerability.

Scholar Muhammad Abdul Qadir (rah) said, “Khadijah (rad)’s intelligent reply pleased Prophet (saw). Her reply was the cause for Prophet (saw) to love her more. This is why he (saw) would remember her fondly even after her death”.
(Tashrihat Bukhari)

Hi, my husband and I decided to start praying, he is not learning well from videos I guess. So I thought, I might be able to recite and he can follow. But I don’t know how it will work, as he needs to lead the prayer right? Tell me the ways I can teach him practically. I was thinking to stay little behind and still recites and do the steps so he can follow after me. But is it even possible

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Shall I not inform you of whom the Fire is unlawful and he is unlawful for the Fire? Every person who is near (to people), amicable, and easy (to deal with).'"

Jami at-Tirmidhi 2488

I know no one has ever seen Mohammed or Allah, but what I mean is

Have you ever had a dream, or prayed for a miracle, that just made you go “this is definetly the truth” anything that made u feel secure
