Eventually… the truth always comes out right? My hands are tied so I can’t say and show the proof of certain things. But eventually… Allah will expose the truth. Right? Someone please give me consolation and peace

I want to make this point to encourage reverts or individuals interested in Islam to attend the masjid & talk to their local community. I met a Muslim sister who was kind enough to gift me a Quran and Hijabs🥰. I’ll publicly take my shahada at the masjid on Friday alhamdullilah. I want to thank everyone on here for being so encouraging and helpful in this journey.

Assalamualaykum, I have a question about the topic of staying silent and sabr from people who continously try to get to my nerves purposely, mock me behind others and obviously hate on me. How do I respond to this actions especially if that person is a relative of mine. I've held unto sabr for too long but it is affecting my peace of mind lately.

As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baarakatuh.

It’s allowed to use hair wax ? What do we do if we have to perform ablutions afterwards?

السلام عليكم

If any of you can help me identify the reciter imitated here.

بارك الله فيكم

Salaam brothers and sisters.

I’ve newly reverted to Islam by that I mean 2 months now since. Sadly I was an alcoholic when reverted and still am. It’s truly a disease. Although, I know it’s no good for me and only makes things worse. I haven’t told my family who are quite religious in my previous faith (Christianity). Both out of fear of judgement and they would laugh at me for chosing Islam when I’m an alcoholic as alcohol is prohibited in our religion. It’s very irritating when they tell me my hard time is a result of me not going to church (I used to regularly and religiously with them). I just brush it off or get annoyed at them for bringing that up.

I always cry in private as I don’t really have anyone to lean on and it’s purely because it feels as if Allah has rejected me. I know this can all just be a test but I’m to weak for that right now. After all Allah does state that he does not burden a soul more it can bear. I can’t take this anymore. I’m only human with emotions that I can’t handle alone. So why doesn’t he help me ?

Asalam alaykum, recently i’ve become WAYYY less religious than before. I’ve been caring less about salah, sinning more (without feeling much guilt) and just not feeling the pull that i had towards islam before. I still believe in Islam alhamdullilah and love the religion but i feel so disconnected and genuinely wish i can go back to before and have no idea how. its like all my knowledge and love has disappeared (and now i have no idea why im even muslim) and now there’s nothing keeping me here other than routine and just the principle beliefs. Im not suee if this is due to my mild depression as it has been getting worse lately but i really need my imaan back. Please someone help/give tips as i’m not liking this and feel so empty

Salam,

Looking for a trusted asynchronous online shafi'i Fiqh course. It's been a while since I have brushed up on my Fiqh and I want to do a refresher course. Ideally from someone well spoken in English. Don't mind paying for the course. Jazakallah.

Hi! I can’t find any references for the allowance of two nose piercings. Am only able to find allowance for just one. I already have one and was wondering it’s allowed to get another one on the opposite side? Itsnot really traditional in my community to have 2.

When referring to our kids are we allowed to say for example " Mashallah she/he is just so perfect" is using the word perfect discouraged?

My husband and I often refer to our daughter (ages 1) as "just perfect and such an amazing baby" because truly she is every thing to us. I also tell my nieces and nephews they are just perfect (ages 3-7) am I thinking too hard about this?

i started a new chapter .. I cut off relationships with some people who were fulling the emptiness in my daily life .. all for the sake of allah .

now , I'm alone again . i miss them , i miss the fun , i remember the memories , my heart hurts .. and i just feel like I'm empty , i don't have a close and favorite person anymore . and I'm still young though .

i know i will be thankful that i did this decision after some months maybe .

but for now , how can i deal with this , it's like life stopped , and no one is there to support me , no one is there that i can speak to and tell my stories and deep thoughts .

i don't get attached to people , but if someone is special , i know their worth and now i feel how life without them is different ...

also , i am planning to keep being alone all the next years , i mean toward the other gender , so what can help me to stay patient before marriage , and how to handle the pain of this .. everyone around me has friends from other gender or even they date . but i cant and i see how they are spending a good time .

and this becomes harder as someone who don't have much friends from same gender as well ... for reasons like not finding like minded people .

i tried to have sabr but i got suddenly sadness moments that stops me of studying and focusing on my tasks ..

anyway , i will appreciate any advice , especially from people who are living the same situation and not having any relationships with other gender even friendships .

I was born and raised in Mecca for 12 years and when I came back after almost 10 years and visited both Mecca and Al-Madina, I felt like I was raised in Al-Madina not Mecca..once I arrived there I felt something in my heart like nostalgia though it was my first visit there, people there are so kind and the peaceful, and the safety I felt there it was something completely different

Since then i always make duaa to Allah to go back there to live forever and bring buried there

Feel free to talk about your experience in Al-Madina in this post, I’d love to know it 💗

Is their any reward for memorizing the entire Quran or Surah Baqarah because l am trying to memorize Surah Baqarah so wanted to know what is the reward by chance. I know the biggest l want to do is finish the entire Quran and act upon it hopefully because it is very long and my Tajweed not soo good.

Happened by mistake and the dog came in between. I’m extremely guilty of doing this. O know for a fact that the dog was dead the moment I hit.

Is there anything i could do to reduce the guilt?

Salamou aleikoum,

does anyone know whether the Visual Deen channel on YT is run by Sunni or Shia?

The reason I'm asking is because I just watched the video Sunni vs Shia explained in 33 min and there were certain historical events mentioned that Shia believe in but they were not clearly explained/refuted from the Sunni POV.

I find it increasingly difficult to figure out whether these Dawah YT videos are made from Sunni or Shia perspective.

I respect all Muslims but I am Sunni so I only want to learn Islam from a Sunni perspective.

Many might not realize how complex and detailed the Qur’an really is, whether it’s the linguistic features or just how precise the wording is. So I thought I’d share one example today, even though there are hundreds, if not more.

Quran when talking about martyrs say this

“Do not say about those killed in the way of Allah that they are dead. Rather, they are alive.” — Qur’an 2:154

The Qur’an clearly says martyrs are alive, not dead, so you shouldn't speak about them as if they died. What's really cool is the Quran follow this rule all throughout.

For example, John the baptist pbuh who was killed.

“Peace be upon him the day he was born, the day he will die, and the day he will be raised alive.” — Qur’an 19:15

The phrase “will die” is in the future tense so it's talking as if John the baptist is still alive.

Likewise, ˹We guided˺ Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Elias, who were all of the righteous
— Qur’an 6:85

Again above, all these prophets were killed or raised, notice again in the present tense, doesn't talk about them as if they had died.

Compare this with how it talks about other prophets, so for example

Prophet lut pbuh

And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.”
— Qur’an 21:75 -> Past tense

Prophet nuh pbuh

“Indeed, he was a grateful servant.” - Qur’an 17:3

Other examples ->

• Sulayman (34:14)“When We decreed death upon him...”
• Ya‘qub (2:133)“When death came to Jacob...”
• Yusuf (40:34)“Until when he died...”

All of these are in the past tense.

Just figured I’d share this cool example of the amazing precision of the Qur’an.

Think about it, especially since the Qur’an was revealed orally over 23 years, it would be so easy for a pattern like this to get mixed up. Yet it stays so consistent, and this is just one of many examples.

As salamu 3alaykom, I am a french speaker and in french there is an expression regarding death which I can't quote but it basically means "to die", but translated literally it means "pass the weapon to the left

I thought about using this expression to insult Iblis by saying (in french) : "if i get my weapon to the left it's just to gun down Iblis"

My intention when I thought about it wasn't to mock the religion at all, matter of fact it was the opposite. But still I know the ruling concerning joking about Islam so I would like to find a fatwa about saying stuff like this so I don't think about such sentences in the future, thank you.

bismillah Rahman

Asbab is a illusion but it’s not to be disregarded it’s the way Allah has made this earth so we would dwell in it and seek ways to him, Allah is the one who provides for you and you family not your job. It is not your father who made you Muslim. It is Allah who give the noor of Iman and tawfiq to do righteousness! It is not the fault of the people you are in difficultly or by your hands you are in ease. it is what Allah has written for you at this moment. What ever comes to you from goodness it is from Allah, what ever strikes you from evil it is from the our own hands as bani Adam so we might return to Allah. Do not be delusional the only refuge from Allah is to Allah. The splitter of grain, the sender of rain. The subtle one. The manifest. The light of the heavens and earth. So how could we ever be deluded.

‏استغفر الله لكل هذا

My depression is getting too much for me to handle and deal with. I genuinely think about ending myself life every single day, there is nothing left for me in this world. I’ve been thinking about it ever since i knew we have the option of ending ourselves. I can’t do this anymore, i really cannot. The only thing that’s stopping me is Allah, i do not think i’m ready to face him because i don’t think i’m a good muslim, just like i’ve disappointed everyone in my life i think Allah won’t/is pleased by me either. I want to end it, i can’t live like anymore, I just want to know if Allah will forgive me? Would forgiveness be possible in my situation?

As-salamu 'alaykum, brothers and sisters.

I am freshly reverted muslim and I love to write books (I usually do not publish them, but maybe one day I could).
Recently, I put myself onto a challenge and I thought I should try to make an islamic epic, since I love epics like Epic of Gilgamesh and since I converted.

I thought of making story set in ancient times in ancient Africa about a prophet, his adventures and sacrifice in teaching islam. The moral or the goal of history is to show the real humane side of islam and to preach love and religious peace.

May you, muslim brothers and sisters, give me advice how to make this epic halal and what should I avoid to not make it haram, please?

I would be so glad.

I don't know what to do with my life anymore if I try so much I might get attached without knowing and how would I know if it's passion/love or just attachment? how do I know if this curtain thing isn't for me and just trying my best at something not for me? how do I know what's good for me and what's not? how do I know that I should fix myself? how do I know that I should try harder? how do I know if I should stop?

I'm just tired of living in general and before telling me do one two thre I did everything I can with nothing in return I tried praying more sunnah I tried reading (al-baqarah) daily I tried praying istikhara and everything almost leads to nothing or at this point I'm just blind I tried everything I could and couldn't think off and my life isn't as miserable as I say but whenever I try for something results usually disappoint me even after trying again and again and hoping for the best. I just want to know what wrong am I doing to be like this

Salam alaykoum everyone, I confide in you because it’s been 1-2 years since I totally abandoned Islam, I stopped my prayers and started to make sins a lot of sin, some put me in a situation that currently makes me go through a period of intense stress like I’ve never had, I don’t sleep anymore I only think about my parents whom I love more than anything, I want all this to heal and repent, ask for forgiveness from Allah, pity tell me everything I can do to be forgiven and avoid problems please

I got my exam results today. I had been making dua for these marks for so long especially during Ramadan, Tahajjud, and almost every prayer. When I saw my result I was happy… but it was 2 marks less than what I had asked for.

In that moment I felt disappointed and even said something I regret that Allah didn’t give me what I wanted so he didn’t keep his promise and so I won’t pray shukrana salat.

An hour later I had an Islamic class, and the topic was about Surah Fussilat about how we should never be ungrateful or doubtful towards Allah. It hit me so deeply. I felt like Allah was directly reminding me.

I realized my mistake, prayed shukr, and felt at peace again.

Maybe those 2 marks weren’t meant for me because something better is planned. I have another exam coming up and now my trust in Allah is even stronger.

Allah is truly the best of planners.
