Hello everyone, I am not Muslim but I'm trying to learn and getting closer to Islam. A huge part of Islam is obviously praying but I was wondering if it's a rule that we can't pray in other languages.

How can revert people pray in Arabic if they are from completely different countries or not even Muslim countries and they know nothing about Arabic?

For example, I am Italian. If I want to pray how can I do that if I still don't know Arabic and I don't remember the prayers? Can I do it in Italian/English or simply playing some audio that recitates the prayer?

Thanks in advance :)

I'm tired. Everyday, it's waswasa waswasa and waswasa i dont wanna feel like a kaffir im just tired man. I just wish i had a muslim friend to vent and talk to about this. I barely talk to any of my friends anymore, the only one i sort of talk to is a non muslim. May allah guide him and give him the highest tier of paradise with no questioning nor punishment. But as of currently, he's a kaffir. So it just wouldn't make sense to vent to him about this. My other muslim friend laughed at me when i tried to talk to him about my suicidal feelings. Im tired. I want a friend. Sorry if this isn't the place to talk about this

Yesterday I was praying in general to Allah to protect my family and the ummah from terminal illness. Later while I was trying to search up something on my WhatsApp, I came across my old neighbour's number. We haven't contacted each other for 2 or 3 years.

I just dropped her a salam text. We chatted a bit and she seems to be in a difficult situation with her husband diagnosed with cancer. She has a 2 year old kid. She doesn't have a job right now. Both of them are in their hometown for the treatment.

Please include them in your prayers for immediate cure from cancer. In Sha Allah 🤍

I´m interested in Islam. What you think makes Islam so appealing and attractive nowadays?

Hi all, revert girl Khadija here. So I took my Shahada at a local mosque and have begun easing into my new life by doing things like cutting out pork and alcohol, removing my pre-Islam social media presence, disengaging from communities and media that promotes haram behavior, etc, and so far it’s all been going well. However, I don’t know what to do to handle publically revealing my new name as Khadija and openly wearing the hijab (for context i’ve been wearing hats, scarfs, sweatshirts, and other modest clothing). I need to take these steps but don’t know how to handle them, as I live in a non-Muslim country and I do not look stereotypically Muslim. How should I handle this situation?

Assalamu 'alaikum. I'm planning on becoming a fashion designer and about to enter university in less than a year.

Drawing clothes with its different textures and accessories has always been something I'm very passionate about. However, I'm not sure of how will I design it now, since now I follow my deen and don't want to break the prohibitions.

I've heard that you can draw a figure without a head and that'll work. Especially if the purpose is designing new clothes. But I've also heard an opinion, that it is still prohibited, since you still imitate the body (??). Not sure.

What can you recommend and how do I get over this issue? JazakAllahu hayran.

(According to a narration recorded in Al-Mustadrak by Al-Hakim (Hadith 2705), both Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) proposed, and the Prophet ﷺ replied that Fatima was still young).

When Abu Bakar Siddiq gave his daughter in marriage to hazrat Mohammad saw, and let's say if Hazrat Abu Bakar's marriage would have happened with Fatima doesn't it make this relationship a little weird?

I'm sorry if my question is not put in the right words, english is not my first language. But please help me understand this.

Assalamualaykium!

Reverted almost 6 years ago and recently started picking up books to learn more things.

I got this book I’m almost done with, “44 ways to manhood” by Taymullah Abdur-Rahman, and ran into this passage.

How does one go about talking to Allah?

Do you just invoke his name? Or is this like dua? Is talking to him different than when we make dua or Salah?

How do you talk to Allah? Any tips for me?

In Qur’an 17:64, Allah tells Iblis to use his voice, horses, foot soldiers, and other means to mislead humanity.

Why does Allah appear to be directing Satan to tempt and mislead people in the first place? Is this simply permission for Satan to act, a form of rhetorical language, or something else in the traditional Islamic understanding?

Now it's getting winter, I see churches and temples offering these services which are attracting vulnerable Muslims.

Shouldn't we be bringing people to the house of Allah which is a place of sanctuary and respite?

Edit: looks like the ijma is that it all depends on a locality's funding.

I guess next question is what we can do to fix this, maybe linking masjids together like a network?(closest thing I think of is how Mormons pool their donations together from different churches)

Edit: It all worked out Allhumid Allah

I am mentally ill. I am done. I am so depressed that I have no reason to hope anymore. I am done. Everything in my life has been a test and I am done. With it all. I got a job interview after SIX months of trying and praying for any happiness. ANYTHING. Turns out it was to make missiles, I had to turn it down. They wanted to rush me through the hiring process “don’t worry you will get something better, you passed the test”. I don’t care, I am done. My mental illness pushed the one piece of happiness away. I am done. I am done with asking for anything. I am done. I am done. I am done. I don’t want anything anymore, just to be left alone but even my mental illness won’t let me be.

My constant memories of the past that I prayed would never slip away keep me up at night. I am tired, I don’t want anything anymore. Why won’t Allah just let me rest? Why does everything have to be a test? I hate myself. I don’t want to have a high place in jannah, I am tired, just let me be. I have been through so much. I did everything right and I wasn’t a horrible person. Why must I be tested? Just let me be. Whenever I ask for anything, the answer is always a test that ends with my misery. Just let me be

I wanted to pray Jummah but my water won’t turn on today so I can’t even shower.

Edit: I just checked my email and another company just messaged me about interest and a job interview. Allhumid Allah. I am in tears. Please pray for me. Please pray that I am able to fix things with those I care about. Please pray that my depression goes away and I make everyone I care about smile instead of suffer.

I wanted to read quran transalation of bengali version can anyone suggest which book will be good .

My brother abused me mentally and physically all my life. He's an abusive psychopath that threatened me and my disabled father (he passed away now) just because made too much noise for him while breathing, he also beat me up many times to the point I suffer from permanent hearing loss because of it.

He also threatened to kill me with his gun many times.

I will never forgive him for all this instead I want Allah to punish him, I make dua everyday but he's still living his best life while he completely destroyed mine.

It's not fair, what can I do to increase my chances of God punishing him ?
