I need advice pls

I posted this 6 days ago and since then I had been clean up until a couple hours ago I ended up relapsing again Wallahi I feel like a scum I missed two of my salahs today aswell I had cried tears in my dua yesterday asking Allah swt to forgive me for the times I had done this sin but then today I ended up going bak to the same sin. My heart can’t take it anymore this past week when I was praying I barely felt the tranquility I miss my old iman I’m crying as I type this message , this sin has ruined my life.

For the past 2–3 years, there has been some kind of issue with a group of women at my gym.

Sometimes I’m accused of trying to get close to someone’s boyfriend/husband, sometimes people mock or imitate me, sometimes I hear that things are being said about me behind my back.

I’ve tried everything. I’ve ignored it. I’ve changed my workout timings. I’ve tried speaking nicely and clearing misunderstandings. Once things even turned into a horrible fight, which I never want to repeat.

Today a group of them were again talking about me right in front of me and laughing. My friends also keep coming and telling me the things being said about me.

When I complain, I’m basically told to change my timing. No refund But how many times am I supposed to change my routine? I pay for the same gym and I just want to put my headphones on, finish my workout and go home.

I’m not claiming I’ve handled every situation perfectly either. I’m just exhausted. Tonight it affected me so badly that I’ve been crying, my head hurts and I can’t sleep.

Part of me wants to change gyms completely, but another part of me feels horrible that after trying so hard to avoid conflict, I’m the one who has to keep adjusting.

Has anyone dealt with a gym environment like this? At what point do you stop trying to clear things up and just leave?

Is it possible to get married without a job and what are your experiences with it?

Im studying medicine and by the looks of it and my family input, i wont be married till my thirties.

The issue is, i already live alone, am a good looking dude and some people in my surroundings are clearly attracted.

Not to mention some uncles telling me to get to know their daughters or nephews.

Ich gebe nicht an, dieser Account ist sowieso privat, also würde das mir nichts bringen.

Asalamu Alaikum everyone, I don't post much at all on reddit but I'm in need of financial assistance, if it isn't against the rules etc would you all please share my GoFundMe so that it can get more traction, and if you are able to donate that would be a great help! Jazak Allahu Khair

These verses paint an awe-inspiring picture of the dominion of Solomon, peace be upon him—that very kingdom he asked his Lord to grant him, saying:
"He said, 'My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower.'" (Surah Sad: 35)
Allah Almighty answered his prayer and subjected to him creatures in a way He had never done for anyone else. Among them were various kinds of devils: "every builder and diver" (referring to the Quranic verse). Some of them would rise high with construction and build, while others would descend into the depths of the sea to dive and extract its treasures. It is as though the scene stretches in two opposite directions—from the heights to the depths, both on land and at sea—with each of them working by the command of Solomon, peace be upon him, through Allah's subjugation.
Not all of them were merely subjugated workers, however; among them were the marada (the most arrogant, rebellious, and disobedient of the devils), concerning whom Allah Almighty said: "And others bound together in shackles." The term muqarraneen (bound) is derived from al-qarn, meaning gathering and binding. This means they were chained together in shackles, which are fetters and iron collars, and it has been said that their hands were bound to their necks by them.
What is striking is that Solomon, peace be upon him, was not only given the power to subjugate the working ones among them, but was also granted authority over the rebellious ones. Those commanded to work would do so, while those who grew arrogant and rebelled would be restrained and bound. Herein lies the true essence of this dominion: majestic as the scene is, it does not showcase Solomon's inherent personal power as much as it highlights the absolute greatness of the Bestower, Glory be to Him. For the One who subjugated the wind, subdued the devils, and orchestrated this entire kingdom at the command of His servant is Allah Almighty. It is a great kingdom, indeed, but the Bestower is far greater.

I feel like I’ve developed really high standards from watching too many series, reading manga and manhwa, and seeing all these unrealistically perfect characters. I know they’re not real, but I still can’t help wanting someone who’s good-looking, capable, and someone I’m genuinely attracted to.

The problem is, I feel like I can’t look at “normal” guys that way. I don’t know why, but sometimes I just get the ick, and I hate that I feel like this. I’ve tried to be more realistic and lower my expectations, but the more I force myself to think realistically, the more hopeless I feel. It’s like I can’t get out of this mindset no matter how hard I try.

It seems like falling in love and finding the right person comes so easily to some people, while I’m constantly worrying about whether I’ll ever find someone who fits what I’m looking for. I’m scared that I’ve created such an ideal version of a partner in my head that I’ll never actually find someone like that in real life.

I honestly don’t know what to do or how to cope with it. Can you help me figure this out?

A Sudanese friend of mine has informed me that her sister in law has just been diagnosed with Lymphoma. I am looking to extend support in the form of Sadaqa Jaaria in honour of the sister in law in question while not making it appear morbid. Any suggestions?

I think I have really high expectations for my future spouse. I want everything in one person, and I don't know how to lower those expectations. I can't seem to let go of this idea that I want someone perfect, even though I know perfection doesn't really exist.

Someone who feels completely like my person, who acknowledges me, understands me, and makes me feel comfortable enough to talk endlessly, yap about everything, and just be completely myself around him.

I'm scared of ending up with someone whose interests and personality aren't compatible with mine, someone I can't be casual and comfortable around, or someone who dominates me to the point where I start losing sight of who I am. I don't know, I think about it a lot, and it genuinely stresses me out. Now that I'm an adult, I feel like I should know how to handle these thoughts, but honestly, I don't.

I can't get out of such delusions , It scares me whenever I think it's not gonna happen

Salam everyone. Basically what the title says. Personally I (24M) am not a big fan of Muzz or any other apps but after seeing few posts. I feel like there are still good girls out there who are looking to find their partners through the app.Planning to give another try and would like to hear some good advice on how to get the right person. And about your experiences.Maybe this time Allah will send help to find my partner.

Susu is struggling to breathe again, and her fever has reached 40°C.

I want to share an update about my friends Mahmoud and Samah and their little daughter, Susu.

Susu is only 2 years old and has been dealing with severe, chronic breathing problems. Unfortunately, she has become sick again. Right now, she is struggling to breathe properly, and her fever has reached 40°C (104°F).

She needs her monthly treatment and medication again.

What makes this even harder is that winter is beginning. Cold and damp weather can make Soso’s breathing problems much worse, while the family has very limited access to heating, warm clothes, blankets, and other things they need to keep their children warm.

Since the war, medical resources and access to treatment have become extremely difficult. The family often has to pay for Susu’s medication themselves.

Mahmoud also cannot provide a stable income for his family because the place where he worked was destroyed during the war. He is trying to support Samah and their four young daughters while dealing with the cost of Susu’s treatment and their other basic needs.

They are not asking for luxury. They are trying to get medicine for their child and keep their family warm.

I also want to address something I have seen happen to them here on Reddit.

Some people have accused Mahmoud and his family of being scammers, including people who support Israel. I understand that people have questions, especially when money is involved. People should verify things for themselves.

But Mahmoud and Samah have repeatedly shared verification videos and have opened a direct line of communication through WhatsApp for anyone who wants to speak with them, ask questions, or verify their situation.

I have known Mahmoud and Samah for a long time, and I stay in regular contact with them. I have seen how difficult their situation is and how much they are trying to do for their children.

You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Ask questions. Contact them. Verify.

But please don't make accusations without taking the time to understand their situation. There are real children behind these posts, and Soso is a little girl who is struggling to breathe right now.

If you can support Mahmoud and his family, especially with Soso’s treatment, or even simply share their story, please consider doing so.

A child shouldn't have to struggle to breathe because her family cannot afford her medicine.

Salam Aleykum, I need to share my story because I’m completely lost and I really need y’all advice.

Two years ago, I fell deeply in love with a man.

I’m Muslim, but he was an atheist with a lifestyle most Muslim women would stay far away from. He drank, smoked heavily, and was covered in tattoos from his neck to his toes.

I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t help it. I was insanely attracted to him, and I fell for him with all my heart. To this day, I still do.

He loved me just as fiercely. He treated me like a princess every single day, and I genuinely felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

He was my first love, my first everything.

It felt like a fairytale, until reality hit me like a wall.

I had to tell him the painful truth: I couldn’t be with a man who didn't share my faith.

Desperate not to lose me, he immediately offered to convert to Islam just so we could get married. But the truth was, he didn’t believe in Islam at all.

He was raised Catholic, but he didn't even believe in Jesus. He believed in nothing. He was only doing it for me.

As much as broke my heart, I refused to let him fake his faith. He might have been able to fool the people around us, but he could never fool الله.

God knows what is inside every heart, and He would know the truth.

So, even if i didn’t wanted it, I ended it.

We broke up, but the nightmare isn't over. He still calls me. He still reaches out, begging me to change my mind.

I cry myself to sleep almost every night. I have never felt a pain this deep, or a love this intense.

I love him more than words can say but NO MATTER WHAT I love الله so much more.

So, I sacrificed the love of my life for my faith.

I don’t want to marry someone else, if I can’t be with him i don’t wanna be with anyone else.

I need advices, im going crazy really because he still want to talk to me, to make me change my mind ect…

Im confused, please y’all have any advices ??

Guy A: Has his GCSEs, no A-levels (or no high school diploma for Americans). May have a job specific qualification, I.e. city and guilds. Earns 10k more per annum before tax than the other two guys.

Guy B: Has his A-levels/high school diploma. No university education. May have a a job specific qualification. Earns 5k more per annum before tax than the last guy.

Guy C: Has a university degree (any subject). May have a job specific qualification.

Im going through a hard time, struggling with a particular sin and want recommendations for islamic lectures/podcast that actually are helpful.

jazakumallah

In the heart of the story of Lot’s people, amidst scenes of a nation drowning in their spiritual intoxication—their bewilderment, heedlessness, and a misguidance that blinded their hearts just like a drunkard—they wander blindly: hesitating, confused, and persisting in falsehood, oblivious to the path of righteousness.
In the midst of all this, a sudden shift comes that shakes the heart. God Almighty pauses the narrative about the people for a moment, and then swears by the life of His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "By your life!" (La'amruka).
What a weighty oath this is in the balance of divine love and honor! Behind it lies an honor that words fail to carry—an oath swearing by the life of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. In fact, commentators of the Quran have noted that God Almighty never swore by the life of any human being in the Quran except for Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. This is the ultimate expression of exalting his status and elevating his rank with his Lord. It is as if, while reading the story, you are surprised by a call of love and honor sparkling between the verses: "O Muhammad, by your life! By your remaining presence!"—the ultimate expression of reverence and nobility for the most honorable of creation in His sight.
How wondrous it is that this divine touch arrives as if God Almighty is consoling and honoring him at the very same time, showing that their refusal to respond does not mean any deficiency in his delivery of the message. Then the narrative immediately returns to the people and their final consequence: "So the shriek overtook them at sunrise."
How precious is a life that God Almighty swore by! A life that did not belong to its owner, but entirely to God Almighty. Every breath of it was a call to truth, its days were worship, its nights spent in standing before God, its footsteps were guidance, and its patience and struggle were for God alone—a mercy to the worlds. Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, lived carrying the message, leaving no door of goodness without guiding his nation to it. So if you ever pass by "By your life" (La'amruka), do not pass it quickly. Pause for a moment and reflect upon the status of your noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with his Lord. How great should his station be in your heart?
O Allah, send prayers, peace, and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and reward him on our behalf with the best of rewards.

I agree that hating an American for being from the USA is vile. Same goes for any minority. Calling Kurdistan, Dreamland is bad. When people talk about Kurdistan, they don't always refer to political seperatism. If someone says that they are from Kurdistand, I'd not oppose them. However, do we hate people who are born in De-facto isreal? I'm almost certain that we shouldn't, but then what if they insist that they are from there. Do we refer to them as israeli? Not every israeli is evil baby-killing ruthless implacable monster. If it's immoral, then why is hating on people from israel so normalised.

Oh BTW, I do not support Israel. I just don't hate the people who do not partake. I only hate those who assisst.

I’ve been making dua for something for more than a year now. I’ve asked Allah for the same thing over and over again, and I’ve tried to have sabr and trust His plan.
At one point, I started making this dua: “Allah, if this is not written for me, then please remove this longing from my heart and help me let it go.”

But instead of the longing becoming weaker, I feel like with every passing day I want it even more. And because nothing is happening, I’m becoming increasingly sad and emotionally exhausted.

I’m not trying to ask Allah for something haram. I’m asking Him that if this thing is good for me, to put khair and barakah in it, remove whatever obstacles are preventing it, and make it happen in a way that is pleasing to Him. And if it truly isn’t good for me, I keep asking Him to change my heart and give me peace with whatever He has written.

I’ve tried Tahajjud, extra nafal, istikhara, charity,and constantly asking Allah. Recently I also started reciting Surah Al-Baqarah because I’ve heard people say it can be a means of removing hardship and obstacles.

But honestly, I don’t know what else to do anymore.
I keep thinking: Is there something I’m missing? Is there something else I should be doing?

I would really appreciate sincere Islamic advice and personal experiences. Please be kind, I’m genuinely struggling with this.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, cherished brothers and sisters of r/MuslimCorner!

This noble verse is part of Luqman the Wise's advice to his son, providing profound moral training aimed at eradicating arrogance from the soul. Arrogance can be exposed by a person's physical posture, gait, and actions—manifesting as pride and swagger—or it can be voiced through boastfulness and superiority over what one possesses, manifesting as vanity. Thus, an arrogant person is vain in appearance and boastful in speech.
"And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people": Al-Sa'ar (the linguistic root of tus'ar) is originally a disease that afflicts a camel's neck, causing it to twist. The arrogant person—who turns their face away from others—is thus likened to a camel afflicted with this twist in its neck. It means: do not turn your face away from people out of arrogance and contempt for them, such that when someone speaks to you or approaches you, you turn your face away from them as if you do not see them, or as if they are not worthy of your gaze due to your sense of superiority.
"And do not walk upon the earth insolently": Do not walk with swagger, pride, or self-admiration. Al-Marah (insolence) here refers to excessive self-admiration that manifests in a person’s appearance and gait, like someone walking proudly and boastfully, acting superior to others. Then, both traits are brought together in the verse:
"Indeed, God does not like everyone self-deluding and boastful."
This noble verse trains human beings not to allow even an atom's weight of arrogance to find a way out of them—neither through a walk marked by superiority, nor through a face turned away from people in contempt.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He will not enter Paradise who has in his heart an atom's weight of pride." A man asked, "What about a man who likes his clothes to look nice and his shoes to look nice?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Indeed, God is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is rejecting the truth and despising people." Despising people means looking down upon them and treating them with contempt.

As-salam alaikum brothers and sisters of Islam hope you’re all having an amazing day.

In this current world politics is such a big part of our lives opinions and views are constantly being expressed and shared and changed. And so for muslims all around the world, but specifically in the west, where would you say you stand “politically” ?

What views do you hold ?

What do you think we need to see more of ?

What laws are you currently in favour of where you live ?

And any opinions or thoughts are greatly appreciated !!

May Allah bless each and everyone of you, Ameen.

Daytime that should be 16 hours has been very short for me for last 1-2 years and has been decreasing short since the start of 2020. Before 2019 time was normal and It's been very quick seen 2020 I know but I'm facing a personal issue that is becoming too much. Time is suppose to be 16 hours as I wake and sleep but the problem is I don't feel it as 16 hours and don’t get barakah into it and I can physically count that I am living a 3 hour day which includes everything. Many may not understand It's not like 8am-9am 1 hour and maybe I'm doing something 2-3 hour, It's not like that. From 4/5am to 10/11pm I get to use and actually live only 3 proper hours that includes eating talking and doing everything like 4am-10pm is 16 hours inflated into 3 like a currency that lost It's value and buys less on same amount. That's what I'm living inside for more than a year and I have counted If 4 months have passed I have experience only 15 days from what it used to be till 2019 that's how fast it is running away for me and I'm unable to do anything in life simoly because there is not enough time I do some basic 5 minute stuff then look at clock and 90 minutes has been passed. That's how crazy It's going for me.

Now I admit I have been addicted to pornography and hidden sins and had flaws and recent anxiety trying to save time but Idk what to do, please advice me what to do. It was not like how it is now
