I thought this reddit was full of knowledgeable muslims but I was wrong. To my surprise muslims are now allowing tattoos and music. I scrolled through some comments on a few reddits yesterday, where muslims asked for genuine ruling on music and tattoos and the comments disappointed me so much. What in the liberal islam is this?? Not only the comments were disappointing but the upvotes as well. The wrong opinions got the most upvotes and the right ones got down voted? You make your own rules now despite clear evidence in ahadith? Why do you speak without knowledge?? Why do some of you want extra sins? You do realise that if someone listens to your wrong advice and commits a sin, you will get sins for that too? Is it so hard not to comment if you don't know the ruling? Are these things suddenly okay because that's "your opinion" or because you saw other people doing it?? Do we not listen to scholars anymore?? Do we not go to quran and sunnah anymore? PLEASE don't misguide other people.

So I’m back to living with my family it’s every other day I have to go hungry they made nachos but they put sausage into it I got to a fast food place and they put bacon on a burger that’s don’t even have it on their i don’t know anymore I on meds the requires me to eat but I luck out I gust

Assalamualaikum I've got a really important question that I'd like to know the answer to

If semen drops onto my finger, and under a tap I wash my hand with water to make that area pure (where the semen has dropped onto)

And the pure running water that's dropping onto my hand from the tap goes onto my wrist or some of my arm whilst I'm washing the impurity off does this spread the impurity making my wrist or arm impure?

Hi! Thank you for spending your time with my message. I have been dating my boyfriend for 5 years now, my family form my mothers side is muslim, my household is muslim, my parents are divorced but except the weekends and holidays, my household is muslim, and I live in a western country. I had a existencial crisis not long ago and I've been trying to look into my family's faith in look for balance and happiness. The thing is, this boy im dating is the most amazing boyfriend, friend, he takes care of me in my worst moments, the best ones, makes me happy. makes me feel accomplish, respects my boundaries..... I want to marry him, really. But he is not muslim. he has no faith or religion. what can I do, what should I do ? I already told him about different religions and marriage or relationships in Islam but this is very weird for both, I ask for you help brothers and sisters, and also pray for my understanding of our faith, I really want to overcome some things I have not felt right with in the past, for the sake of mental peace and feeling like I have a meaning in this big world. Sorry if I have some typos or I have a weird way of expressing myself English is not my first language. As Salaam Alaykum

I'm a non muslim and the title says pretty much everything, but just to elaborate by "changing it" I mean maybe say I draw a mosque but with a futuristic spin. So it still very much is a mosque and looks like a mosque but with holographic screens going around it. Would that be offensive, haram, or just overall a bad thing to do?

Thank you

So I'm not Muslim but my friend is and me and my dad were talking about DND and how my friend would only join the campaign if some people quit because Muslims can't talk to or hang out with the opposite gender and there were gonna be guys playing and then my dad said that that religion is ridiculous under his breath which I am still very annoyed about but then that made me wonder WHY that is. Does it explain anywhere in the Quaran why? I tried to Google this but the results never said why. Thank you for your time!

Well, cant believe im typing this out but here we go.

To my father, he: -does not pray -does not fast -does not read the quran -honestly, never does any muslim practices at all -i dont even think he knows how to pray (idk) -eats non halal meat (except pork)

Yet hes always super big about claiming to be muslim, saying hes gonna go to mekka (hajj), always argues with over people over their beliefs. Etc.

Hes like SUPER “patriotic” towards islam. If you know what I mean?

Everything I know about Islam, I have taught myself (including how to pray, how to fast properly, etc).

The only thing my father ever told me is to “defend islam at all costs if somebody speaks bad about it”.

Ive started to find it super hard to listen to him preach about islam. When i confront him and tell him to at least pray, he says he doesnt have time, yet watched historical YouTube Videos(mostly war and Islam ) for 5-7H a day(!!).

Would it be wrong to stop listening to him? Or tell him to stop and? Dont wanna break his heart.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

I humbly ask for your sincere duas as I prepare to take my driver’s exam on December 20th. I’ve already tried twice and failed a year ago, and now I’m at a point where I have no choice but to give it another try. Unfortunately, I can only afford six hours of driving practice and the test itself, which costs almost €600. It’s been so long since I’ve driven that I’m really anxious about whether this will be enough to pass.

Here in Austria, the system can be quite strict, and failing would not only break my heart but also disappoint my parents and put me in a difficult financial situation. I need this license to help myself and my family, so passing would mean so much to me.

Please make dua for my success, that I stay calm, confident, and capable during the test, and that Allah (SWT) grants me ease in this endeavor. Your prayers mean the world to me, and I pray that Allah grants you all success and ease in your lives too.

JazakAllahu Khair.

I would pray for a day or two but NEVER prayed regularly at all.

I feel nothing when reading quran like if I don't believe what is said.

I REALLY want to change that and become a good muslim AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

SO PLEASE HELP ME, anything you know that might help me become a good muslim (not only praying and reading quran) please tell me!

I have Muslim neighbors who I know do not celebrate Christmas. The wife Azieza brought me some delicious baked goods that she had made over the weekend, and I would like to reciprocate, but I don’t bake and I don’t know what would be an appropriate holiday seasonal thank you type gift for people who don’t celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas at this time of year. Any advice is most sincerely welcomed.

Narrated Abu Musa: Some people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , "Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)?" He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands."

I'm a Muslim college student currently doing a project on the 'compatibility of Islam and evolution'

I would like to gleam some general attitudes towards evolution in the modern day Muslim community.

I welcome any Muslim to reply to this post and share their views.

For inspiration consider the following questions:

Do you think one who believes in evolution exits Islam?

How do you view your beliefs in relation to evolution and scientific consensus?

What do you think the relationship of Islam and evolution will be in the next 50-100 years?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

Prophet Jacob has made Jerusalem a legacy for Muslims, not to kuffar, and some of his kids have committed acts of rebellion(such as Great revolt and Bar Kokhba) and as a result of it, they were exiled.

And sadly, people do not learn from other mistakes. They did acts of rebellion called Intifada. The story of intifada is same as the story when Israelis did during Roman occupation.

Palestinian Muslims do not know that revolution is an act which Al Haruriyyah did during Ali's reign under the pretext of "the judgement belongs to Allah".

There are many sins Palestinian Muslims committed which need to be repaired such as democracy, Intifada, Oct7 and electing Hamas(you could have elected Palestinian Authority instead)

I got good news that "Israel" won't last long until the descend of Jesus who will kill the Antichrist at Lydda. So, when "Israel" will collapse, then Palestine will replace it and become full state as it used to be before British Mandate.

Allah has informed to us about Zionism in Quran 17:4

And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant.

NOTE: the verse is in relation to when Joshua punished Amalekets when he freed them from exile after they were cowards when they were told to get ready with military to strike Amaleket who destroyed their homes. And because of that, they fled to Egypt until Allah sent Moses, and because of their cowardice they’ve been banished for 40 years to wander in Sinai peninsula until Allah sent Joshua to rescue them and smack the Amalekets, and once victory, they started to practice Torah properly until the upcoming of Talmud and the distortions begun until Jesus and Muhammad came along, some of them denied Allah’s Oneness while some have agreed to it, even after British Mandate(some have converted, some remained kuffar). Although, they ruled the land with kufr and sin, that’s why Allah sent another people to govern the promise land with Shariah(because they profess Shahada). That’s why Palestinian Authority and Palestinian Organization Liberation(those two profess Shahada, and so do the Palestinian civilians). They have more over the land than Jews.

When Jesus returns then Palestinians will have all of the land before establishment of a Jewish state. but, there are many sins to fix before declaring statehood.

My 11 years old child is going on a school camp in 2025 which fall during Ramadan. Wife refuse to send him. I feel it is important for him to be involved and he is new to the school. Only a small number of Muslim at the school. He is looking forward to going. My thought is that my child can miss 4 days of fasting and make up for the 4 day later

Salam everyone! So I was acquiring about the ruling on tattoos and I have never been able to find a specific verse in the Quran that addresses the issue nor have I found hadith that say that tatoos are banned for everyone. All the the hadith I see are regarding women only and never men. I hope I can get clarification here. Barukallahu feek

I'm going to start by saying that I have very strong faith in Islam, however there is something that's been bothering me. In the Quran, it is described that people who witnessed miracles of Allah and the Prophets would still stay ignorant. This just doesn't make any sense to me. How brainless do you have to be in order to see the literal ocean part and then start worshipping a COW right after ???

Like if I saw that I would've forgotten about everything else in the world.. How would anyone go about their lives after witnessing that. Did Allah purposely make these people idiots? Or do I not have all the context? Also there's no way they secretly knew the truth because if they did, how are they fine with disobeying someone who they know has enough power to kill them in an instant..

Same thing applies to Shaitan too I guess.. he literally disobeyed God while standing in front of him 😭

Edit: I do understand the danger of pride and how stubborn it can make a person. I guess I just couldn't believe that it could get so severe that a person would go against something they saw with their own eyes.

Why are the majority of Muslim men I meet so weak? And yes, this is coming from a Muslim man. Let’s address the elephant in the room—literally and figuratively. Too many of us are out of shape, both physically and spiritually. We’re overweight, unhealthy, and lack the discipline to change it. How can we claim to be leaders, protectors, and providers when we can’t even lead ourselves to a healthier lifestyle? It’s embarrassing and completely avoidable.

Those who are married? Most are stuck in mediocre or outright toxic marriages. The concept of flourishing, thriving marriages is almost non-existent in our communities. Then you have the brothers who aren’t married yet—they’re either too picky, waiting for an imaginary perfect scenario, or wasting time until they find themselves involuntarily celibate. Let me be clear: celibacy isn’t the issue—it’s the indecision, immaturity, and lack of preparation that’s the real problem.

The ones who do want to get married? They’re either broke, too young, or can’t cut the umbilical cord because they’re still mamas’ boys. They let their parents and cultural expectations control their lives, refusing to grow a spine or take responsibility. As a result, they remain single indefinitely, blaming everyone but themselves.

And what about our so-called leaders—imams, shaykhs, and ustadhs? Too many are either twisting the deen for personal gain or failing to embody the discipline and self-respect they preach. Let’s be honest: a significant number of them are visibly overweight and out of shape. How can you inspire people when you’re not setting a good example of balance, health, and discipline? If our leaders can’t reflect strength and resilience, what does that say about us as a community?

It’s time to stop making excuses. We need to do better—period. Work on your physical health. Stop blaming circumstances and start taking control of your life. Build your finances, grow spiritually, and develop a backbone. Weakness isn’t just holding us back individually—it’s crippling our families and communities. If we want to see change, we need to be the change. Enough is enough.

Salam Alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuh brothers and sisters,

As I find myself becoming more and more knowledgeable about Islam and truly beginning to prioritize Deen over Dunya, I have been giving marriage a big consideration. Doing my homework about my rights as a woman in Islam, my rights in marriage, learning my duties as a wife and mother. "Perfecting" my prayers. Truly immersing myself in the religion and changing my life for the better Alhamdulillah. But, when I search online about marriage, trying to get an idea of what Muslim men want in a spouse, I see many men degrading women and thinking of them as "dirty" for having sexual relations before they were a Muslim. Of course, I believe if you are a chaste man/woman you deserve a chaste partner if that is what you desire. But, I feel a big sense of shame and unworthiness due to not being a "pure" woman, more so a pure Muslim woman. Before Islam I was celibate for 2 years already, I have repented many times to Allah for my previous sins, but I still feel a deep sense of shame, and guilt like I am not enough. If a man were to ask my hand in marriage, would it be his right to know if I have committed Zina before reverting? Or should it be kept to myself to keep myself from potential ridicule or harm?
