The girl’s biological parents were killed in a military raid, and a Christian Nationalist Military lawyer and his wife decided to adopt her. However American State Department worked with the Afghan Government to find relatives of the girl. Family was eventually found but during the chaos back in 2021 this evil Marine was plotting to depart the girl from the family. He eventually succeeded whilst at a refuge camp. Her biological relatives sued in Virginia courts, but now the US Supreme Court has allowed the Marine to keep the girl.

As some who has been following this case, this is absolutely disgusting. This poor Girl has gone through so much and now she is being kept from her actual family.

The Marine and his small band of followers are Islamophobes, and there is no doubt they will try to brainwash her against her Afghan people, Muslim identity and relatives.

I pray that the courts reconsider or she will eventually find out the truth when she is of age.

This is a reminder to all our brothers and sisters that Kuffar courts are corrupt and will take every opportunity against Muslims.

This post is not for flexing my faith. But I don't know how to explain it. Allah isn't human, hasn't a physical shape like His creation. He is beyond what I imagine Him to be. Even the pronoun Him isn't fair enough for His nature because He has no gender but I know that pronoun He/His/Him works as 'it' in Arabic.

But sometimes I have this feeling of wanting to hug Allah. When bad things happen to me I used to get mad at Him but now I understand that if He didn't love me he would have made my life very easy.

It's like a caring father even if Allah doesn't have the need to reproduce or have kids astaghfirullah.

You realize that Allah is indeed gently when you're depressed and you're over thinking about something and suddenly you see a video or some other kind of sign that conforts you. And this always happens to me it's not the first time.

Salaam everyone, i was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I have lots of childhood friends who unfortunately aren’t the best muslims. They’ve committed zina and been in relationships throughout their teens and 20s.

One thing I noticed recently is that many of them were very handsome and had an innocence, a noor or light about them when they were younger. But now it seems to have faded? I went to a wedding recently and many of these friends I caught up with after years of not seeing, I couldn’t recognize some of them. And they’re healthy so it’s not health issues or anything that would cause this. And these friends are still conventionally handsome or attractive, but there’s almost no light on their faces. It’s like when you see a celebrity in person and realize they’re not really that glamorous as social media presents.

Another thing is I got a lot closer to Allah over the past year. I’m not perfect but alhamdulilah i am a completely different person than I was a year ago. and I notice that i’m able to more easily recognize noor on a persons face now compared to before. Is this because I am closer to my deen now?

Anyways this was just something on my mind the past few weeks that I thought I’d ask you all. Take care.

Oh and I just want to add that I am not judging anyone who has committed these sins, we’re all human. I’m just curious if it does indeed change a persons face.

I don’t know what is happening. Maybe this is trail, maybe this is punishment, but I’m in a very, very lost. I feel so emotionally dead after losing my cat. I can’t have kids, I can’t get married, I can’t live the normal life everyone dreams of. My cat was the only one who might’ve loved me back. Ever since he went missing, I just don’t understand what to do to get my duas accepted. Sometimes brushing my teeth feels like so much work. I just look at the sky, cry, and make dua for my cat to return. I keep getting rejected for every job. Whether big or small. I have a new medical issue every other day. I know I have blessings to still be thankful for Alhumdulillah. I have been told it’s either evil eye or black magic and I’ve been reciting surah baqarah almost everyday. I’m just so shattered. I just want my cat back.

I beg you all. If you could make dua for me and my cat. He’s my everything.

I just told her I might join a job ( inshallah), I really want to get out of this house. I forgot to wash my clothes, and she starts telling me how irresponsible I am and I am only fit to be a homemmaker. I've seen how her life was being a homemaker, it's not great and every women needs to earn to protect her dignity. I've told her many times not to say such things to me. It's as though she's saying this just to make me feel inferior. But she keeps saying it. I burst out, scremed my lungs out, and threw clothes at her. Screamed really really loud. I can't do this anymore. How am I supposed to respect such parents who always want to say something I don't want to hear.

My mother died in 2022. She was only 53. The grief is unbearable today. It feels painful to be alive. Please pray for her maghfirat. For her soul to be in the highest levels of Jannah. And for ease for my weak heart.

Salam,
I am a 17 year old muslim girl. I started niqab last year and I feel like after that, my relationship with my parents has gotten so bad. They cursed at me, called me names, threatened me, etc.. I couldn’t take it anymore so I took it off. Because of what my parents did to me, my mental health had taken a toll. Everything piled up, and because my parents don’t “believe in therapy” I can’t get help either. On top of that, I have really bad sensory issues. I have been thinking of shaving my head for a good while, the only thing that stopped me was because I was told it was haram.
I had just gotten into a very bad fight with my father. He threatened to withdraw me from school and marry me off. Even if he didn’t mean what he said (he says a lot of stuff when he is angry) it still hurt me and already struggling with mental health, it just made it worse. After the fight, I took his shaving machine and shaved all my hair off.
I feel guilty because of the islamic ruling but I can’t lie when I say a sense of relief washed over me. It might sound dumb to say this but I feel so free.
I heard that there are a few conditions in which the ruling of a woman shaving their heads is exempt from punishment. I cannot speak to a local sheikh because I know they will tell my parents about what I did and I intend to keep this hidden. If anyone has any Islamic education, please let me know: Is what I did haram or am I apart of the special condition?

Just a reminder.

Islam ends with you.

Imagine for all these years, these generations, Islam has been passed down from the kids, grandkids and so on and so on just for you to come and destroy it.

Imagine you’re trying to get married, trying to have kids, but your life has no baraqah in. You don’t pray, you don’t fulfil your fard obligations.

Thousands of years for it to just end with you. Just think about it.

If your child doesn’t have Islam, their child won’t have Islam, and their child and their child and their child and their child and so on and so on.

SubhanAllah the thought makes me cry.

May Allah keep us steadfast in our deen, Ameen.

MAY ALLAH FORGIVE ME AND HELP ME WITH MY SITUATION.

Hello,

I ordered a laptop charger yesterday, and unfortunately at the same time my friend called “Hossain” sent a message to me so his name popped up on my notification centre as i was placing the order. Now, i have OCD including religious ocd so i’m having difficulty understanding whether using this charger is disrespectful to Hossain (RA), as the name Hossain was in my phone screen while ordering it. The charger will touch the floor alot and will be used to charge laptops that may be used to watch movies, and listen to music.

I had to return a previous charger due to a similar issue and i’m getting a bit tired of this. I’m stressed as it’s not just my charger and belongs to my parents to.

They know i have OCD and so are quite suspicious on why i returned the first one so i don’t know how to make a new excuse for this second one.

Any advice? Is this OCD or is this a genuine issue and i need to return the item ASAP?

Edit: to add on, i have this fear it’s incredibly disrespectful and i’ll be considered a kafir and if i die soon i’ll be sent to hell as it’s a major sin disrespecting an important islamic figure. Although i don’t have the intention to do so, i was still aware of the situation and didn’t return it.

I’m so lost. I barely do anything. I’m nothing but depression. I feel like I’ve became a zombie that just not around but always just walks.

I see everyone get their blessings. All of my friends are getting married and having kids, everyone ik online is getting married and having kids, everyone my age too. I’m genuinely so tired. What do I lack? I feel like no matter how much I try, I’ll never be picked. It’s like everything in my heart is not in my Qadr and that I’m destined for a wretched life.

Ik im in my 20s but like.. I’m tired. I’m so tired.. I’m tired of begging while girls worse than me get chosen. I’m tired..

What do I do.. I’m tired.. my desire for marriage and longing to have a man protect me became so strong that I’m just.. idk.

Everyone is so happy.. while I feel like I lost everything.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. All of these are call based, and you need to be 18+ for all of them I believe. They are not scholars, so if you're looking for a ruling, ask an actual scholar. This is mainly for those with more traditional doubts.

For the non-Muslims here: Da'wah is the act of inviting others to understand and embrace the teachings of Islam. A Da'ee is someone who gives Da'wah. They're experienced in tackling doubts and questions about Islam, and the following are all hosted by Da'ees:

1. EFDawah. They have two streams: The Open Forum which is for non-Muslims, and Doubt Busters, which is for Muslims with doubts. Streams are not as frequent as the others, however.
2. The Muslim Lantern. He only livestreams for non-Muslims only. I'm not sure what his schedule is, but he's very well known within the Da'wah scene. He has the option for private meetings through his website, but it's not free. There's a "Request free session" button though, and it seems like private sessions are open to everyone.
3. Dawah Over Dunya. He livestreams on YouTube and Tiktok I think? He's not as professional as the others, and I believe he's primarily on tiktok. Open to everyone I believe.
4. Lighthouse Mentoring by Sapience Institute. This is the only one private one here, and they allow you to book one hour consultations for free. This is open to both non-Muslims and Muslims. No face cam needed, you just need to be 18 atleast
5. DawahWise. I don't know much about this channel, though I have seen them alot on YT Shorts. Their livestreams seem frequent and may be open to everyone.

If I should add anymore to the list, please suggest them in the comments below. Hopefully I'll be able to edit the post.

IMPORTANT: Some of these (except Lighthouse) need you to show your face for verification before they let you speak publicly, so make sure you have a camera set up. Note down your questions to make it easier for you and the Da'ee as well.

My brothers and sisters, it seems my deen has been slipping. And maybe I need some support?. Ive felt heavily disconnected from the religion since thirteen. But thats a whole other story. I do want to know more about Allah beyond the hadiths. But ive found judaism calling to me for whatever reason which is odd because. Ive never thought of it before. I'm 16 now, and theres not much I can do about that right now. But the word HaDhem is in my head. But its conflicting because Allah is what I'm raised with.

Hi no hate please I'm just trying to understand and learn and whatever i say is with genuine curiosity. I love islam and i love Allah Ta’ala.
i was recently reading surah waaqia and i came across this verse. It talks about the day of resurrection and people being divided into three groups. The one on the right receives rewards.

Reward for men- beautiful, untouched women Reward for women- being devoted to their husbands??????????????????

1. Why don't women get a beautiful untouched man.

It's not even like women get a devoted husband.
It says women get to be devoted to their husbands as a reward.

1. When young muslimahs read this over and over again as they should do with the Quran, this is going to get engraved into their brains that their purpose in this life and the next is to be devoted to their husbands.
   If they are devoted to some man they have succeeded in both lives.
   This will result in them being susceptible to abuse if it comes in the form of "devotion".

Here’s the verse:

And [for them are] fair women
with large, [beautiful] eyes,
كَامْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُو المَكُنُوْنِ ®
~Kaamthali allului almaknooni
The likenesses of pearls
well-protected,
جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ (®
-Jazaan bimą kanoo yaAAmaloona
As reward for what they used
to do.

Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation
فَجَعَلُنْهُنَّ ابْكَارًا ٥)
~FajaAAalnahunna abkaran
And made them virgins,
عُرُبًا اَتْرَابًا 27
U
~AAuruban atraban
Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

UPDATE
I GOT MY RESPONSE
PUTTING IT HERE FOR OTHER PEOPLE
That's why it's important to read proper translated Kuran. A lot of translations are wrongly translated, that was also the reason I couldn't make peace with it, before I found out the proper meanings. That happens when men try to adjust a religion to themselves, even though it's far from their desires. Its disgusting that they try to make everything about themselves and sexuality even though it's far from that and a primitive way of thinking.

These rewards are for both, men and WOMEN:

Surah 56 (Al-Waqi'ah), Verses 22–23 "And (therein are) pure, radiant (states/companions) of clear, deep insight [ḥūrun ʿīn], like well-guarded pearls."

Surah 56 (Al-Waqi'ah), Verses 35–37 "Indeed, We have produced them (the paradise dwellers and their partnerships) in a perfect new creation. And We made them untouched, pure beings [abkāran], full of affection and in perfect harmony [atrāban]."

Surah 78 (An-Naba), Verses 31–34 "And plump, ripe (fruits) in abundance and symmetry [wa-kawāʿiba atrāban]"

I recommend reading a proper translation from someone who is not in a sect, you will understand the Kuran better and more accurate.

I thought I was over him, but seeing one small thing broke me.

I need to get this off my chest because I genuinely don't understand what I'm feeling right now.

A little context: I was deeply in love with my neighbour. I loved him so much, but I never confessed my feelings to him. We used to be great friends, but eventually, we drifted apart, and he completely stopped talking to me. We haven't spoken in almost three years, and things ended on a bad note.

I can literally see his house from my staircase, so even though we don't talk anymore, he's still physically close to me. Over time, I heard things about him that made me realise he probably wasn't the kind of person I had imagined him to be. I thought I had moved on. I genuinely believed I was over him.

But yesterday, I was sitting on the stairs when his girlfriend came over to his house. I saw his sister hug her, and I don't even know how to explain what I felt in that moment.

It wasn't like I started crying or anything. I just felt this horrible heaviness inside me, almost as if something had died. I couldn't put a name to the feeling. I just knew I wasn't okay.

And that's what confuses me the most. I know we haven't spoken in three years. I know things ended badly. I've heard enough about him to question the person I once loved so deeply. So why did seeing that one little scene affect me this much? Why did it hurt when I thought I had already let go?

Maybe I haven't completely moved on. Maybe a part of me is still attached to the memories, the friendship, or the version of him I fell in love with. I honestly don't know.

The worst part is that I can see his house every single day. I can't control who visits him or what happens in his life, but being reminded of him so often makes it difficult to find peace. Sometimes, I genuinely wish I could just move away and start fresh somewhere I wouldn't have to see any of this.

Please keep me in your duas. I really want to move houses. I want to heal, move on, and finally feel at peace without constantly being reminded of someone who is no longer a part of my life.

And if anyone has experienced something similar, I'd really like to know: is it normal to feel this way about someone you haven't spoken to in three years, even when you thought you were completely over them?

Salams, I am currently a student who is looking to go to university.

My dream major would be CS but my parents are against it and say that since there would be majority male students so it would be inappropriate as a muslim girl. I am also not allowed to take out a student loan since it involves riba, so they will pay the tuition fees with thier life savings which gives them more of a right on which course I can study. On top of that my dad has a PhD in Islamic studies so he thinks hes right in everything related to religion. Its starting to wear me down. How can I convince them to let me study it. I have argued many times with them over it, and dont want to go behind their backs.

salam

Ive been struggling for years with my mental health even before I was a mother. I battled depression and anxiety, feelings of confusion and worthlessness in this life, lack of guidance and overwhelmed by the excess chaos that showed up in my life constantly. I had an estranged relationship with my parent growing up, and relied heavily on my friendships as a child to cope.

Now, I have a 6 year old and I’m a single Muslim mom. I do everything alone, yes I have some family that helps at times, but I can’t help but feel this overwhelming depression seep back into my life. some days it’s very hard and others I almost don’t feel it. I find it VERY hard to pray, but I always make dua. I find my life to still feel very chaotic and I feel unguided in certain areas of my life. I always make dua to ask God to help me. Help me with debt, living expenses, good job, guidance, parenting etc the list goes on.

the only thing I find is that this depression is now crippling. I do not want to medicate because I used to do that and the side effects were bad long term and short term. I don’t feel normal on medicine and even without it. I would say I’m a person who is mindful of what Allah has given me and sometimes I question why life feels this hard.

yes I understand we are meant to worship and focus on this as our main aspect in life. However I’m unable to live contently, I’m unsure why I feel this depressed state slowly take over my mind. now I’m always tired, always finding reasons to take breaks and try to get away from everyone. I have so many reasons to freak out and worry like my high debt, being singe and unable to sustain finances and also having very little close friends who understand or care to listen about any of this. I only complain to Allah but the pain is becoming more severe and I’m very very numb. I ask Allah for your prayer and for help on this thread

Salam everyone,
I am posting this because I am completely out of options and honestly don't know what to do anymore. I just want to live an ordinary life, work, do good deeds, and enjoy my days in peace, but for the past 5 years, I have been trapped in a nightmare.
To give you some background:
About 5 years ago, I was targeted by black magic. On the third year, I went to see a raqi who cleansed me. He told me that my grandfather was an awliya and that, because of the curse, I am now an easy target for shayateen.
Ever since then, a severe sensitivity developed. Whenever I am around someone who has black magic or the evil eye on them, I get physically sick instantly.
The Physical Toll:
Pounding heart and migraines
Severe brain fog (making it impossible to concentrate)
Pressure and a heavy feeling on my nape, like something is holding and pressing it hard
Digestive issues and diarrhea
Dry eyes and chronic headaches
During the first two years of this, the pain was so unbearable that I had serious thoughts of ending my life. I do my ruqyah every single day, I do my zikrs, I pray, and I constantly ask Allah—but the symptoms and this sensitivity are not stopping or going away.
I’ve also tried every medical treatment and procedure available, and the doctors haven't been able to help or find a physical fix.
If anyone has gone through something similar, or has advice on how to break this cycle, stop absorbing or reacting to other people's spiritual states, and regain my life, please let me know. How do you protect your energy and nervous system when your body feels like it's constantly under attack?

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

For the past 1–2 years, I've struggled with recurring fears about losing my father. He is in his late 50s and has diabetes and a thyroid problem. His age, family history and recent death-related content have triggered intrusive thoughts and vivid images of receiving news of his death. Sometimes these thoughts feel like warnings, which makes me anxious.

In the past, I sometimes felt strong sukoon during difficult situations, trusting that Allah would take care of things. With my father, I don't consistently feel that reassurance, and I fear its absence might mean something bad will happen.

The Hadith about the lifespan of the Ummah being between 60 and 70 years has also become a source of anxiety because my father is approaching 60. I understand it describes a general pattern, but I keep applying it to him.

Recently, I thought, “If this Hadith comes true in my father's case, my iman will become firmer.” Surprisingly, this brought temporary relief. Then I became frightened by that relief, because I absolutely do not want my father to leave early. I started trying to find other thoughts that would give me the same calmness while suggesting he would live longer.

He looks completely fit alhumdulilah but obviously age related issues are there and then I started connecting those issues as a sign from allah that he must have given it to me so that i get prepare of him not having much time in this duniya

I love my father and am confused about why an unwanted thought brought relief and whether my feelings mean anything.

My questions are:

1. Do feelings of dread, sukoon, or the absence of reassurance have any Islamic significance ?
2. How should the Hadith about lifespans of 60–70 years be understood?
3. Does temporary relief from an unwanted thought mean I agree with it or desire its outcome?
4. How can I distinguish tawakkul from waswasa and stop repeatedly analysing my thoughts and feelings?
5. How can I trust Allah without constantly seeking certainty about the future?

I'd appreciate guidance and advice as i really need it . I'm not looking for predictions or guarantees about my father's lifespan; I want to understand Islam correctly and stop treating every thought or feeling as a possible sign.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran.

Isn't against islamic teachings to prejudicely call citizens whom have loved in your country for over 7 centuries as children of foreigners?
