Rules

Any Muslim girls here who struggle with anxiety/panic disorder and can just relate to me or successfully recovered from it? I feel I am the only one struggling with this in my circle, I don’t really have a support system that understands me or any closer friends to talk to about this.

I feel very lonely with the constant ocd/waswas in my head and I have a hard time managing.

Can someone tell me ways to earn money so I can buy modest clothings. I'm trying to dress more modest but can't afford it so any advice will mean alot

InshaAllah if you can buy me one you will get reward for it

Mods please don't delete it

Can I pray with the OVO owl on my shirt?

I can point out the number of hate crimes that have happened against our brothers and sisters over the past decades but in all honesty i have reasons for why i think the west hates us Muslims so much.

• We have morals and integrity, and have laws and rules in place to protect us, not to control us, unlike the us goverment.

• we have rules to protect us from drinking, gambling, pork and the like, all of which are statistically and scientifically backed up.

• we dont condone widespread zina and how normal it is for intimacy to be destroyed.

• 🌽 is sin as sinful and disgusting, rightfully so, and these westerners want to prove otherwise.

• our marriage rules and laws, and Islam as a whole actually look out for Muslim women. Matter of fact Allah s.w.t made it clear in the Quran how important it is to protect Muslim women. So idk where these racists get their narratives that Muslim women are oppressed, they arent.

Not to mention speaking of marriage, we forbid pre marital relationships and intimacy so there aren’t any issues of STDs or kids growing up not knowing who their parents are.

This is my reasoning , the west knows Islam and proper sharia law would fix their demonic country, but surely there is more, why do you guys think they hate us?

Im a young student and genuinely lonely. I had bad experiences with friends as they turned to sins frequently and outright became arrogant to warnings. This in turn made me arrogant. At the end I noticed that I have no power over them and the only way out to actually have a good social life would be by A. Good family B. Being helpful and feeling fulfilled by one’s own work in form of zakat, in any way shape or form C. Marriage

The reason why I only consider these options is, as said, because I don’t think friends are reliable and they also have no responsibility towards you.

I wonder what y’all think of that, first of all.

Now to my plan;

I want to study Quran and memorize it before studying medicine. To do that I work in my wealthy home country and move to a poorer country after a few years to be able to provide for my wife and me, while studying medicine in a poorer country. Don’t misunderstand me, it is a rich city, so it’s all safe and good, just way cheaper than in my country, so a few years of money here will be enough for several years there.

My idea is that while I prepare like this I will be able to prepare for college and at the same time grow as a person with a Islamic fundament as well as having the time to grow socially by reading lots of books that I imagine I couldn’t during university.

The core idea essentially is to prepare some years to marry and use them to grow in religious ways to then live a healthy spiritual life during college to then after college have still a healthy mind but also a well paying job to be independent financially.

I also imagine to have a very educational marriage where we push each other to grow and wish a wife that would love to educate herself with me and have playful debates. I wouldn’t mind if she was studying and working as well, as long as it’s in halal boundaries of course.

Everyone in my surrounding tho tells me this is stupid and risky.

The issue is my family is also wealthy but they wouldn’t support early marriages as because of genuinely anti Islamic reasons, even tho they are genuinely devoted Muslims otherwise themselves in many regards. Westernized.

This is a very adventurous plan it seems and I would love to do it, so I wonder if any sisters think this is doable or, from your experience, if sisters would like to live her life with such a husband?

TLDR; I want to work a few years to then provide for a marriage during medicine school, to have a healthy college life. Do sisters find this attractive or even realistic?

Assalamualaikum, I resell replica items like AirPods on Facebook Marketplace. When people message me, I tell them they’re 1:1 replicas (meaning identical in appearance to the real product), but many don’t seem to understand what that means. Since I’m technically telling them, is it still my fault if they don’t realize they’re fake?

i'm not sure if its just me but this war that has been on for 15 months actually made me realize many things about myself and about life in general. I am not the same person I was 2 years ago, that's for sure. I see people living their lives and I wonder if its just me who's deeply impacted and probably shocked by how the world has reacted to this whole thing. I live in Europe and I know the culture here is very individualistic, but still, I keep wondering: is there any event at all that will trigger people to do something? or to at least think about the repercussions of their carelessness? Speaking of which, I cannot live here my whole life because I cannot cope with the European culture. If I'm not surrounded by mosques, adhan, selfless people, collaborative community, freedom to practice religion, mutual respect.... I cannot be fully happy.

This war made me realize that money doesn't matter, status doesn't matter, job doesn't matter. People are living in the vicious cycle of chasing more money, more houses, more cars, more followers, more friends... The problem is not whether you're happy or content with what you have, it's about defining who you are and being true to the person that you are. I think many people just go about their lives not having any idea what truly defines them, or what makes them wanna fight another day, or probably they're just being materialistic but this is something hard to admit.

On another note, this war really got me closer to Allah al hamdulilah, because the tougher it gets, the more you realize that you need Allah by your side. And at the same time, you realize that no matter how tough life gets, it's not even close to what our brothers and sisters had to go thru in the past few months.
Sorry for the long post, this is just something I wanted to share with you all. Thank you for reading.

Has anyone else noticed how aggressive and competitive non muslims are to people compared to practicing Muslims who are usually nicer and much easier to interact with , I never really made the comparison before but when you start to notice it you can’t unsee it , mostly self centred and awful people which makes complete sense since they don’t worship Allah SWT , why do they need to feel guilty ? It’s not like they’re thinking about judgment day and how their sins will be held against them , Why do they need to consider others when they don’t even believe in their creator Allah SWT ? It makes sense why they’re mostly horrible to each other .

I see him once a month maybe and we usually go out for lunch for a couple hours.

Now, he has a very weird habit of not being able to let go of the past. And he continuously talks badly about my mom (they've been divorced for a decade). It makes me so uncomfortable.

Every time I tried to calmly tell him it's not okay to speak badly in other people's name, especially about a mother in front of her daughter, he simply says he's not backbiting, just elaborating the circumstances to me.

But I really hate it. We meet up to rebuild our relationship because we truly don't have one at the moment, and every time the converdation shifts to his bitterness against my mother, I feel all the process crumbling. Today was especially draining. I genuinely felt like his therapist the way he just kept on rambling.

That's not even the point. The point is, I'm unsure how to deal with this. Can I just leave and go home or is that too disrespectful to him? Is it okay to just sit quietly and nod (cause that's what I've been doing til now) or is that disrespectful to my mom?

I've accepted the fact that I might need professional help because I am constantly miserable with my life and I can't even pray and make dua for it because my ocd comes up with salah and dua and I feel so undeserving of Allah's mercy.

I hate this. I cry every single day and I don't know what to do about it. The moment I started loving everything about Islam, it started falling apart. I still love it, but doing something for the sake of Allah is so difficult (I'm not blaming Him but it's so hard and overwhelming.) I want to be better but I don't know how. I can't live like this. It's so tiring.

Please give me advice on what I should do. How do I tell my parents? If I were to get professional help, what would that help look like? Will there be meds or just counselling?

Please keep me in your duas inshaAllah.

Should we accept or reject hadiths that are graded Hasan?

I came across a TikTok this morning and I’ve just been wondering ever since because it was stating about how everything is written to happen. For example your wife, your income, etc. I’ve just been overthinking for the past couple of hours. Just wondering does that mean every sin/haram that I’ve done to happen and it is all just Allah plan? Like was this supposed to happen and Allah is just testing my loyalty and imaan?

ive been trying to become a better muslim but to be honest, i just do not like jummah. i cant sit for 30 minutes listening to something ive heard so many times already in my life. i dont know why, nearly every qudbah ive heard always follows this one format which i just do not feel like listening to. however, i dont want it to be this way, i want to learn to love and enjoy Jummah as much as i enjoy other prayers. i dont know what kind of support or advice im looking for, but can anyone help me?

Abu Huraira reported that they (the Companions of the Prophet) said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , will we be able to see our Lord on the Day of Judgment? He said: Do you feel any difficulty in seeing the sun in the noon when there is no cloud over it? They said: No. He again said: Do you feel any difficulty in seeing the moon on the fourteenth night when there is no cloud over it? They said: No. Thereupon he said: By Allah Who is One in Whose Hand is my life. you will not face any difficulty in seeing your Lord but only so much as you feel in seeing one of them. Then Allah would sit in judgment upon the servant and would say: O, so and so, did I not honour you and make you the chief and provide you the spouse and subdue for you horses, camels, and afforded you an opportunity to rule over your subjects? He would say: Yes. And then it would be said: Did you not think that you would meet Us? And he would say: No. Thereupon He (Allah) would say: Well, We forget you as you forgot Us. Then the second person would be brought for judgment. (And Allah would) say: 0, so and so. did We not honour you and make you the chief and make you pair and subdue for you horses and camels and afford you an opportunity to rule over your subjects? He would say: Yes, my Lord. And He (the Lord) would say: Did you not think that you would be meeting Us? And he would say: No. And then He (Allah) would say: Well, I forget you today as you forgot Us. Then the third -one would be brought and He (Allah) would say to him as He said before. And he (the third person) would say: O, my Lord, I affirmed my faith in You and in Your Book and in Your Messenger and I observed prayer and fasts and gave charity, and he would speak in good terms like this as he would be able to do. And He (Allah) would say: Well, We will bring our witnesses to you. And the man would think in his mind who would bear witness upon him and then his mouth would be sealed and it would be said to his thighs, to his flesh and to his bones to speak and his thighs. flesh and bones would bear witness to his deeds and it would be done so that he should not be able to make any excuse for himself and he would be a hypocrite and Allah would be annoyed with him.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don't look at those who stand at a higher level than you, for that is better-suited that you do not disparage Allah's favors.

Hey Salam guys,

My local masjid was encouraging us to go out and vote a few months ago for presidential election. I was very shocked because I thought voting is shirk

Should I stop going to that masjid ?

https://www.scribd.com/document/469362237/Why-Voting-is-Kufr

Have you ever looked back at your life and thought, Alhamdulillah that didn’t happen when I wanted it to**?**

That job you desperately wanted but didn’t get.
That person you loved but lost.
That opportunity that slipped through your fingers.

At the time, it felt like a disaster. But now? You see the wisdom.

Every Delay Has a Purpose:

We often get frustrated when things don’t go according to our timeline. We ask, Why me? Why now? Why not sooner? But every delay, every closed door, every missed opportunity—it all happens by Allah’s perfect design.

If you are not married yet, there is wisdom behind it.
Perhaps Allah is protecting you from a marriage that would have harmed you. Maybe He is preparing you for someone better or preparing you to be better for them.

If a friend has left you, there is wisdom behind it.
Maybe they were not good for your faith. Maybe their presence was a distraction from your true path. Maybe Allah is replacing them with someone who will uplift you.

If your provision is delayed, there is wisdom behind it.
Perhaps Allah is teaching you patience, testing your trust in Him, or protecting you from arrogance that wealth might bring. Maybe He is delaying it until you are mature enough to handle it responsibly.

If you didn’t start earlier, there is wisdom behind it.
Have you ever wondered, Why didn’t I start praying seriously before? Why didn’t I focus on my deen when I was younger? Why did it take me so long to change?
The answer: Because Allah knows when your heart is ready.
Maybe if you had started earlier, you wouldn’t have valued it as much. Maybe you needed to go through certain experiences to truly appreciate guidance. Maybe if you had rushed into something, you wouldn’t have lasted.

Everything happens at the perfect time. Not when you want it, but when you need it.

The Hidden Mercy in Delays:

How many things were delayed in your life that you are now grateful for? How many hardships protected you from something worse?

Allah tells us:
"Fighting has been made obligatory upon you ˹believers˺, though you dislike it. Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know**." (Qur'an 2:216)

Sometimes, what feels like rejection is actually redirection.
Sometimes, what feels like being stuck is actually Allah setting you up for something greater.
Sometimes, what feels like loss is actually protection.

Trust in Allah’s Perfect Timing

Next time something doesn’t go your way, ask yourself:
🔹 What lesson is Allah teaching me?
🔹 What is He protecting me from?
🔹 What blessing is He preparing me for?

Allah does not delay without wisdom. He does not withhold without purpose.

If you knew what Allah knows, you would never doubt His plan.

Ask yourself:

Have you ever experienced a delay in life that later turned out to be a blessing?

In Malaysian masjids, most khutbahs are accompanied with PowerPoint slides shown on the Masjid's TV, essentially acting as a subtitle/visual aid to what the khatib is currently saying. Maybe it's my ADHD, but I would say that the PowerPoint slides actually does make it easier to follow through since I can see what the khatib is saying because I can sometimes get lost if I just hear it (especially with my masjid's bad microphone). But what do you think? Do you think your masjid should adopt PowerPoint or any other kind of visual aids?

I’m mainly talking about the leaders right now.

The Muslim countries that I know of are so corrupt and set such a bad example it makes me so sad. When people who have never befriended a Muslim think of Muslims they probably think of countries like Saudi Arabia. I keep trying to explain to people that despite the leaders being Muslim, they don’t actually follow Islam. They’re greedy and don’t represent us.

TLDR; Is there a Muslim country that actually follows Islam because seeing a region that once ruled the world because they were so advanced and knowledgeable fall this way is so upsetting.

Il y a quelques jours, un jeune influenceur français @s4iintt d'origine maghrébine a fait un tiktok pour se plaindre du fait qu'on lui avait donné 3 points sur son permis parce qu'il payait avec « Apple play ». Le président français Macron a répondu à son tik tok en disant que ses plaintes étaient fondées et qu'il allait faire quelque chose, devinez quoi quelques jours plus tard tous les médias français ont commencé à parler de lui (@s4iintt) en le traitant d'islamiste/extrémiste etc... ils ont littéralement fouillé son compte et ont fait un lien entre la religion et "Apple play", ils ont posté sa photo sur internet, elle est apparue dans le journal national même les politiciens ont écrit des commentaires tweets pour l'accusé d'être extrémiste, c'est tellement ridicule qu'ils savent au moins que cela peut avoir des répercussions sur sa vie privée et professionnelle pauvre gars, je ne peux pas imaginer ce que ressentent ses parents maintenant, c'est littéralement de l'acharnement.

Ik ALLAH dosent condemn women from going outside because of 2 reasons. The Hijab and ALLAH comanding men to let their wife's earnings be for themselves

So is this verse actually just for the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) or did ALLAH mean to not leave their kids and family to go like the women before Islam?

Hi guys, tough time in my family especially for dads job. Havent been able to sleep because of stress for him and my mum and brother, what surahs can i read for both their protection and dad's success,before bed!

I am الحمدلله away from haram things. But i guess if i got a chance to do haram things which i currently am away from i would do it. Rather if it was haram relationship , smoking, vaping or anything, i’d do all these if i got a chance. May الله make me away from sining him, and make me an obedient slave. What advice would you give me?

A person committed murder in our town then claimed he was under the effect of Sihr , he said that a demon possessed him and lost his free will. My question is : 🔹Doesn’t Sihr invalidate the concept of sins , anyone can claim and lie after committing major sins. 🔹What is the main proof that detects if a person is inflicted by sihr or not? 🔹Can the effect of Sihr extend to rape/murder? Wouldn’t that make demons capable of controlling mankind at any time thus there is no free will anymore.

Title says it all, whenever certain things I’ve done cross my mind, I get this sinking feeling, deep regret. I don’t know how to make peace with my past. I’m so ashamed, I feel so distressed. Happened a long time ago, regardless, it makes me wanna sink into the ground and just hide

My younger brother and I are really close. I consider him to be my best friend. He started watching anime recently. As someone who also watches anime. I know that there are lots of shows with fan service in it, I stay away from them because they make me uncomfortable and ruin the show. I guess for men it's different, but recently I saw him watching a particular show that's known for its fan service. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe he'll skip those scenes.

The last few days I've been having a bad feeling. I decided to check his phone. And I'm disgusted. He's been visiting NSFW sites on reddit about those shows. Some of these subreddits are to do with anime r*pe scenes. I feel sick. As his sister. As a woman. I don't know what to do. He's a very intelligent child, he's also studying the quraan, he is a hafidh. Hes kind, generous, He's respectful to me and my parents. I regret going through his phone. It obviously changed how I see him.

I don't know what to do. I don't know who to talk to. I don't know if I should tell my parents. Please advise.
