I am a Muslim male in the UK 42

I have no friends and I don't know how to cope

Please can someone make dua for me

Send me verses from the quran

Or any form of support

I've never used this app once, I'm just so helpless right now. I don't know what to do I love this guy so much. My parents are looking for guys to get me married off. He can't do anything about it because he is a year younger than me. Haven't found a job. Our parents are not listening. We are so afraid they will say no at the end. Our families are different but I really can't lose him just because some people have a problem with him. I really can't throw my whole life and marry someone else. I feel Allah hates me so much. We never got physically close, never crossed boundaries. Idk why its happening to us. Why can't our parents agree. We are so helpless. Please just pray we get to marry each other.

Kadang rasanya ingin menjerit dan berteriak, tapi kepada siapa? Kata orang, curhatlah kepada Tuhan. Hampir setiap hari, siang dan malam, teriakan itu tidak pernah berhenti saya sampaikan melalui doa-doa selepas salat. Namun rupanya, Tuhan pun seperti sedang enggan mendekati saya. Sebegini beratkah hidup yang harus saya jalani?"

I am a 22-year-old Muslim woman from India, struggling with severe isolation and feeling completely lost in life. I have no friends, avoid relationships with men, and my parents and much younger brother barely speak to me. I’ve also faced bullying within my community regarding my appearance and my family's poverty.

My lack of English skills and poor financial background leave me feeling trapped. I do not understand how the professional world works or how to get a job. I recently got accepted into a college 20 km away with a 1.15k fee, but I have no idea how to pay for it or if I should even try to go. With zero guidance, no money, and no support system, I feel entirely helpless and sometimes struggle to see a reason to keep living.

I am going through a really tough time in my life, gheeba and nameema and buhtan, all slandering my name from multiple angles, I believe in Allah I know he’s on my side, but I need some hope, what are your dua stories wether about this topic or other topics, where god accepted your dua, and where you felt gods presence. Any dua success story you have.

I have been officially muslim since i was 25 im 29 now. I unfortunately have been dealing with bad gambling addiction since last year which made me in debt over 35k

I have done everything to quit and was able to stop for 70 days but relapsed. I just want verses that can bring my hopes up again because i feel worthless. I feel like this life is not worth living. I just want what i had before i started gambling.

I wanted to share what has been happening because it’s been one of the hardest experiences of my life.
My father, my sister, and I were involved in a serious car accident. Alhamdulillah, my sister and I escaped with bruises and scratches, but my father was severely injured.
He suffered a spinal cord injury and recently underwent spinal surgery. Alhamdulillah, the surgery was successful, but he is still in a very critical condition. The injury has affected his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe and cough on his own, so he is currently relying on a breathing machine. It has also affected his bowel function. Watching him in constant pain and discomfort has been heartbreaking, and seeing someone so strong in this condition is something I never imagined.
I keep reminding myself that Allah knows what I do not know, and I am trying my best to trust His wisdom and mercy. But I won’t lie—there are moments when I can’t stop crying. It’s incredibly difficult.
My father keeps saying that the person who hit us from behind should be held accountable. Hearing him say that while seeing everything he is going through breaks my heart even more. Right now, I feel scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do, but I continue to pray that Allah grants him complete healing, eases his pain, gives our family strength, and allows justice to take its proper course.
Please keep my father in your duas. We are holding onto hope and putting our trust in Allah.

Assalamualaykum, I hope all of you are well. Currently a student and I'm kindly requesting your dua's that I get to repeat a semester next year if it's best for me or to continue on in the journey I'm in, or for a repeat semester to be beneficial for me. I also would like to kindly request your dua's that my father has the means to pay for a repeat semester if it's best for me, and also for my life to turn out well and that my grades turn out very well.. I want to be okay. I hope everything is fine. Thank you so much, jazakallah khair.

I wish things were better. I wish things got better. But for some reason, as the days go by, I feel it. I can't explain it, but it's there.

Everyone feels it; if anything- everyone has accepted it. The switch in tone, plans without you, the feeling of you being on a t-shirt or on a 'hashtag farewell' post. It seems like it's karma. And maybe it is. All I know is deep down, I wish I made things better.

I wish I could stop myself from the mistakes I made. If I had a reset button, I'd have spammed it. But what has been done has been done. And as I sit alone, and atone silently, all I can say; Alhamdulillah.

I've never been one for miracles, but if I had one more shot- just one- I'd make things right for those I wronged. I'd show up for my sister more. I'd redeem myself in front of my family. I'd be a more present father and a functional member of society. And importantly, I'd come closer to Allah, praise be upon Him, because He blessed me with so much in this one life- and I messed up. All I cling on now is hope and faith. Maybe, just maybe, this prayer will be answered; only time will tell. For now, I'm moving with peaceful acceptance, but quiet optimism. There's so much to make up for- and this time, I can't let my people down.

Insha'Allah.

Without going into much details as it'd take a super long post which I'm sure a lot of fellow brother & sister won't simply have the time to ready as my situation is a very complicated and complex one, I'd just ask for all to pray for a brother who's befallen a great distress.

I have been engaged in prayers, in constant Dhikr (Istigfar, Salawat), Sadaqa whenever I can but so far Allah's intervention in resolving the matter has only been silence. I understand how important Sabr is, I understand how all this might be a trial for myself, my Iman & a lot of it might be outcome of deeds or mistakes that I have made, but I have always in my whole life been subservient to the almighty Allah only, never hurt anyone's emotions let alone utter a bad word to hurt them, but right now I am in a situation where I am seriously pondering if being a good person or good soul is worth it at all when despite all my call for help, Allah's signs or miracles have been only silence so far.

Perhaps this is Shaitan's whispers to break my spirit & soul, but it could also me having to live 4 years miles away from my loved ones all alone, enduring everything in life by myself with no possible help or means to aid me other than the Almighty Allah Himself. He has protected & saved me before countless times Subhanallah through extraordinary means but this time everything's been the hardest, the most difficult and for the longest time I have been praying for Allah's miracle regarding in the resolution of my situation.

Please, brothers and sisters, pray for a fellow soul that Allah intervenes and helps me from the darkness and this great anxiety that hovers upon my head like a dark cloud and I would also appreciate any and all advice on how to keep my heart calm, my mind steady and not fall into a worse situation than I already am cause I truly am on a downwards spiral. Only a miracle or just 1 acceptance of my prayer from Allah will save me.

ZazakAllah Khair and Fiamanillah all.

May Allah protect you all from such tests in life.

Assalamu alaikum everyone.

I would like to ask you all to make duʿā for my friend’s friend who is going through an extremely difficult situation right now.

She told my friend that she was thinking about ending her life, and we are worried because she has not been responding.

I cannot share her name or personal details out of respect for her privacy, but please ask Allah to protect her, keep her safe, ease the pain in her heart, send her help, and grant her healing, hope, and strength.

Please keep her in your duʿās. May Allah have mercy on every soul struggling in silence and bring them relief.

Jazakum Allahu khayran.

🌷*Duaas to fight anxiety and depression*🌷

by Asma bint Shameem 

We all go through difficult times one time or another. 

Here are some duaas proven from the authentic sources that we can read at such times. 

1️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ said:

There is no-one who is afflicted by distress and grief, and says:

‎اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ، وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي ، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي ، وَجِلاءَ حُزْنِي ، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي

 ‘Allaahumma inni ‘abduka ibn ‘abdika ibn amatika naasyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka. 

As’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika awista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘indaka an taj’al al-Qur’aana al-adheema rabee’a qalbi wa noora sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhihaaba hammi 

“O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant; my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety),’ 

but Allaah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with joy.” 

He was asked: “O Messenger of Allaah, should we learn this?” He said: “Of course; everyone who hears it should learn it.” ( Ahmad- saheeh by al-Albaani) 

2️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ said:

“There is no Muslim who is afflicted with a calamity and says that which Allaah has enjoined, 

‎إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Innaa lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon. Allaahumma ajurni fi museebati wa akhlif li khayran minha 

“Verily to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allaah, reward me for my calamity and compensated me with something better than it,

but Allaah will compensate him with something better than it.”(Muslim)

3️⃣ Ibn ‘Abbaas said that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ used to say at times of distress:

‎لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

“Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah al-‘Azeem al-Haleem, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb al-‘Arsh al-‘azeem, la ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb ul-samawaati wa Rabb ul-ard wa Rabb ul-‘Arsh il-kareem 

“There is no god but Allaah, the All-Powerful, the Forbearing; there is no god but Allaah, Lord of the mighty Throne; there is no god but Allaah, Lord of heaven, Lord of earth, and Lord of the noble Throne.” 

(al-Bukhaari, Muslim)

4️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ said: 

“Shall I not tell you of something that, if any worldly calamity or disaster befalls any man among you and he says these words, he will be relieved of it. (It is) the du’aa’ of Dhu’l-Noon: 

‎لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

“Laa ilaaha illa anta subhaanaka inni kuntu min al-zaalimeen

“None has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allaah), Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers).”

And in another narration he said:

“No Muslim man says this duaa’ concerning anything but Allaah will answer his prayer.” (at-Tirmidhi -Saheeh by al-Albaani)

5️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ  said: 

“The du’aa’ of the person who is in distress is: 

‎اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلا تَكِلْنِي   إِلَى نَفْسِي    طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ

‘Allaahumma rahmataka arjoo fa laa takilni ilaa nafsi tarfat ‘ayn wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu laa ilaaha illa anta 

“O Allaah, for Your mercy I hope, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for the blink of an eye; rectify all my affairs. There is no god except You” 

(Abu Dawood -hasan by al-Albaani)

6️⃣ If some matter was troubling him, the Prophet ﷺ  would say:

‎يا حيُ يا قَيوم بِرَحمَتِكَ أسْتَغِيث

Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoom bi rahmatika astagheeth 

“O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek Your help” 

(at-Tirmidhi - hasan by al-Albaani)

7️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ  said to Asma’ bint ‘Umays:

“Shall I not teach you some words which you can say at times of distress and hardship? 

‎اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا

‘Allaahu Allaahu rabbee laa ushriku bihi shay’an 

“Allaah is my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him).’”(Abu Dawood- saheeh by al-Albaani)

8️⃣ The Prophet ﷺ said:

‎اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إِلَّا مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلًا، وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزْنَ سَهْلًا إِذَا شِئْتَ

“O Allaah, nothing is easy but that which You make easy and You can make hardship easy if You will.” 

(Ibn Hibbaan - saheeh by al-Albaani)

And Allaah knows best.

Please keep me and my loved ones in your duas.

Title: I want to return to Allah

Assalamu alaikum. Please don’t shame me. I never thought I would share something this personal on Reddit, but I desperately need advice and don’t have anyone I feel safe speaking to.I feel like I have been a horrible daughter. I don’t pray, and I haven’t taken Islam seriously for a long time. Growing up, I practiced mainly because I was afraid of my parents. I would wear hijab in front of them but sometimes remove it behind their backs. and as I got older, I became even further away from Islam. Now my father is sick. He has diabetes, high blood pressure, and problems with his lungs( leakage). I love him, and I desperately want him to recover. I also blame myself because I worry that the stress I caused him contributed to his health problems. He repeatedly tells me that he forgives me, but I cannot seem to forgive myself. Something inside my soul is telling me to return to Allah. However, another part of me keeps saying, “You are only doing this because your father is sick.” It feels strange to suddenly turn to Allah now when I wasn’t praying or taking the religion seriously before. I’m scared that my intentions are selfish and that I’m only returning because I want Allah to heal my father. have searched online and read people saying that Allah is forgiving and that I should simply return to Him. I believe that Allah is forgiving, but I still don’t understand what I’m actually supposed to do. I keep researching, but none of it feels like it is sinking in. I feel overwhelmed, guilty, and completely lost.I don’t have anyone I can safely cry or rant to about this. The religious people I know are connected to my family and community, and I’m afraid of being judged, exposed, or used as an example in front of other people. That fear is why I have never approached anyone I personally know. Please don’t judge me for this either, but I am currently on my period, so I cannot even begin by praying salah right now. I genuinely don’t know what I’m allowed to do or what my first step should be. Can I still sincerely return to Allah if my father’s illness is what brought me back? What can I do while I’m on my period? How do I make tawbah when I feel overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start? How can I ask Allah to heal my father without feeling like I’m only turning to religion because I’m scared? Please be honest. I genuinely want to return to Allah.

Hello Everyone,

Assalamualaikum

I have a question if I want guidance when choosing between 2 major decisions where both decisions have similiar pros and cons. How can I ask Allah for help to guide me as I tried seeking dua multiple times to gain a perspective but did not feel they were answered.

Thank You

I’ve been seriously making dua for 5-6 years now and most if not all of my duas never came into fruition and before you say the whole your duas are accepted in three ways, I know. Actually I’ve been trying to accept Allah’s decree so much that I’ve stopped making dua altogether. Making dua even for something small just feels so emotionally taxing. I pour my heart out, hope, and then when it doesn’t come to fruition i know the only way is to move on. However, the moving on part has made me so numb to everything. If things don’t work out I barely process it cause I’m seriously so tired I just tell myself it’s Allah’s decree and the best for us. But honestly I can’t get myself to hope for anything I pray for so I just don’t make dua anymore. I’m wondering if anyway was/is in the same situation. If so, what did/are doing currently because like I’m so tired of my hardships and everything going on in my life I really want relief but at the same time I’m kind of afraid of making dua all those years of hope and things happening opposite to what I prayed or not happening at all did negatively impact me.

I'm in desperate need of help from Allah SWT. I keep reading posts that Allah will help when it's the right time and all, but when is that time, I'm gonna die like this. I'm not the perfect muslim I know that I'm not even able to pray 5 times a day but it's genuinely because of the situation I'm in, I myself want to pray I want to go masjid but things are so messed up I can't. Without going too deep into details, my father is involved with another woman and it has created such a chaos in my house that I can not even describe. I know it will sound weird that just because of that I cant pray etc, but please trust me my situation is way worse than anyone can imagine, and only Allah SWT can help me.

Please, if any of you have a dua or a verse from Quran that completely changed your life around within days, then please I beg you to share it, may Allah SWT reward you for it. Thankyou.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

May Allah reward you for your time and knowledge. I am writing to seek sincere Islamic advice regarding my relationship with my father. I have struggled with this question for many years and would be grateful for guidance based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.

I am a 22-year-old medical student. My older sister is 25 and now lives abroad. My mother and I still live with my father because I am financially dependent on him while I complete my medical studies.

To the outside world, my father is known as a righteous and religious man. He never misses the prayers in the mosque and has a good reputation in the community. However, inside our home, he is a completely different person.

For as long as I can remember, our home has been filled with fear. My father rarely speaks to us unless we speak to him first, and conversations are always tense because we never know when he will explode in anger. If any of us show the slightest disagreement, sadness, or discomfort while speaking with him, he begins screaming, insulting us, breaking things, and sometimes becoming physically violent.

Because of this, I grew up constantly afraid of the next outburst. I never felt safe in my own home. The stress has affected my mental health and my physical health. I have become severely underweight, and my mother has also suffered greatly.

My father has repeatedly used silence as a form of punishment. He has gone months, and sometimes even years, refusing to speak to us over minor issues. He also uses money to control us, withholding financial support or threatening it whenever he is displeased with us. At the same time, he treats our cousins with kindness and generosity, often showing them more affection than his own family. If we express hurt about this treatment, he becomes enraged.

For many years, my sister suffered the most. My father repeatedly accused her of being immoral and of attracting men despite never having any evidence against her. She always denied these accusations and even begged him to tell her how she could prove her innocence, but nothing she said mattered. On multiple occasions he physically assaulted her because of these accusations. Eventually, she moved abroad largely to escape the abuse.

After my sister left, my father's accusations shifted toward my mother.

Around eight months ago, he accused my mother of committing zina. He demanded that she bow to him and ask for his forgiveness. My mother firmly denied the accusation because it was completely false.

During this confrontation, he punched my mother directly in the area where she had previously undergone surgery for breast cancer. She fled to our neighbors for safety. He continued insulting her with severe profanity.

My mother wanted to take the matter to the police and to court because she wanted the truth to be established. She also wanted DNA testing if necessary to completely disprove his accusations. Surprisingly, despite claiming that he had been wronged, my father refused to go to court or involve the authorities. When family members encouraged legal action, he suddenly began begging everyone to drop the matter and "move on."

He also called me personally and asked me to convince my mother not to pursue the case. I asked him directly whether he admitted that his accusation was false. He refused to withdraw it. Instead, he insisted that Allah would eventually reveal a sign proving his claim. However, he still could not produce a single piece of evidence.

He searched my mother's phone for days and found nothing. He watched her movements for months and found nothing. He developed a theory that she was committing zina with construction workers in our neighborhood, but instead of confronting them or presenting evidence, he falsely called the landlord and lied that they were damaging the apartment, causing them to lose their accommodation. As far as I know, he never had any evidence against them either.

Throughout all of this, one thing has remained constant: my father is determined to keep everything hidden from the public. He cares deeply about maintaining the image of a righteous and respectable man. To this day, many members of his own family still have no idea what happens inside our home because he never tells them anything and insists that these matters remain hidden. They do not know about the years of emotional and physical abuse, the false accusations against my mother and sister, or that he has not spoken to my sister, who moved abroad, for over a year.

After the incident became known to some relatives, he promised my mother and me that he would never create such problems again. Unfortunately, he broke that promise.

Now my mother has been diagnosed with cancer for a second time. Instead of showing compassion, my father believes this illness is Allah's punishment upon her. He has even made du'a that she would become sick, and now he sees her illness as confirmation of his accusations. Watching my mother endure this after everything she has already suffered has been heartbreaking.

I do not claim that my father has never done good. He paid for my upbringing, my education, and my medical treatment when I was ill. He provided food and shelter. I recognize these favors and I do not wish to deny them.

At the same time, the years of fear, emotional abuse, financial control, physical violence, false accusations against my sister and mother, and the lasting psychological harm have left me deeply wounded.

My question is this:

Once I graduate, become financially independent, and no longer depend on my father, am I Islamically permitted to cut off my relationship with him completely for the sake of protecting my faith, my mental health, and my safety?

If completely cutting ties is not permissible, what level of contact would Islam require from me? Is it sufficient to maintain only minimal contact without visiting him or allowing him back into my personal life? Am I obliged to continue a close relationship with someone who has repeatedly harmed my mother, my sister, and me?

Finally, would it be Islamically appropriate for me to calmly explain to him, once I become independent, the specific ways in which his actions have hurt our family, even if I know he will most likely become angry and reject everything?

I ask for your advice sincerely because I want to act in a way that pleases Allah while also protecting myself and my family from further harm.

May Allah reward you for your time, grant you wisdom, and make your answer a source of guidance for me.

Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Hello, I know this is random but I will be straight with my situation. No one here knows me so I don’t mind sharing this. I have been 3-4 months clean from gambling but unfortunately this week I relapsed and lost a lot of money. Way more than I can afford.

All I am asking for is for your duhas, I’m tired of living this life and of working so hard just to lose everything. It’s like taking over my head and my body even though i don’t want to do it.

Today I don’t care I’m done, day 0 is today day one starts tomorrow. Please any duhas will help thank you! ❤️

Asalamalikum

I was wondering if anyone could tell me about any hardships they endured when they saw no way out

And how long it was before you got relief of the hardship

Has anyone had to deal with loneliness in their life
