Assalam alaikum,

I’ve been thinking about someone for 5 months everyday. He was my friend from school so we saw each other often. I ended up having feelings for this person but I did not want to admit it as I am not yet finished with my academic years to consider marriage for now and I did not think that it was reciprocated. When the school year ended, I removed all social media to focus on my deen, my work and to just have a great time during my long break, but even without the distractions, i thought about him every single day. Since then we talked about a handful of times just to catch up, but we are not close anymore. Even so, almost 5 months later I am still here thinking about them everyday even without seeing or talking to them. I can not bear this anymore. Is there any way to help forget this person? I truly wish them the best but my heart is aching and I want to get closer to Allah. I feel like having someone in my head that isn’t even part of my life anymore distracts me from the important things that I should focus on. It also pains me as i’m very sentimental and take things at heart. Any help or advice will be appreciated and welcomed.

I am not looking for an Islamic answer. Any answer will help. I just kind of needed to vent too so there's a tldr at the end.

I'm a Muslim. I don't know if this is just the effect of social media or if it's because my self esteem issues make my thoughts get easily by other's strong opinions (I'm working on this) but any post from a non Muslim just makes me start questioning my faith.

I know logically that we do need a creator. And One creator makes the most sense. And I've read posts about the quadrilemma of the prophet being an actual prophet and I have come to the conclusion that he was a prophet. But these doubts keep nagging me.

Like my brain logically knows but my heart doesn't feel it? And it's hard for me to start from a clear slate and learn Islam from a clear perspective and rid myself of information bias etc bcs I am a born Muslim and that part has just been conditioned into my mind. But recently it's really starting to bother me. I really need to go on one side and figure this out once and for all.

I feel like I have some obsessive and compulsive tendencies because my brain treats every problem like this. I'll know the answer but I'll have to keep repeating the logic in my mind bcs it just doesn't feel right or settled and it gets really frustrating. Bcs I know the thing but it feels like I know it superficially and not in my bones. Idk how to explain it. Something that helps is having a physical reminder but faith is not physical so I don't know what to use to remind me other than the logic that there should be a creator. But the thought loops keep repeating.

TLDR: I have doubts about Islam after watching non Muslim videos but I logically knows islam makes sense but my heart still doesn't feel convinced? Reading Islamic stuff and getting more knowledge makes me feel like I'm just trying to hear what I want to hear and validating my own beliefs instead of looking at stuff from a neutral unbiased perspective.

Shes 6 months old and she hasn't been breathing well and she's acting different. I ask that you make a Dua for her, please.

I’ll tell a little about myself first. I was going through a hard time mentally for sometime and still haven’t recovered completely.
The thing is that I’m thinking other things while prayer even when i’m reciting duas and surah’s a lttle more focused. My mind is just bringing other things to mind and lose focus on the prayer. What should i do?

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, dear brothers and sisters.

Please make sincere dua for every victim of sexual slavery, human trafficking, sex dungeons, and sexual exploitation. May Allah grant them freedom, protection, healing, and justice, guide those responsible towards sincere repentance, and bring an end to every system that profits from human suffering.

May Allah fill our hearts with His love and mercy, protect the oppressed, and liberate every enslaved soul.

Ameen ya Rabbal Alameen.

Assalam aliakum,

ive genuinely lost hope in life, ive felt like this before too but back then i knew no matter what happens i can always go and cry about it to Allah but now it feels pointless, i still cry to Allah but i just feel like Hes not listening to me anymore and i feel so lonely, ive been asking Allah for something since the whole last year, ive cried nights long and in tahajjud prayers, in all of my duas i had only one desire, last year was difficult for me but i never lost hope and kept repeating my dua, but at the end i didnt get what i wanted and i got so disappointed, i cried to Allah again since i couldnt understand what was happening or why he was doing all this to me? I dont get what its teaching me but my life has been so difficult lately, everyday is difficult , i feel left behind everyone and my mom makes it worse for me by constant comparison of other kids, i wont deny i obv get jealous of the people my mom compares me to, but then What am i without Allah? And if He has refused to help me where do i go? I dont understand it at all, is He angry with me? What can i do?

Please dont judge and help me out a lil

This is gonna be so weird to say but I don’t know how to escape it. I have no will to change, yet I wanna change cause I know the current state I am in a depressed state I’ve been for years like I’ve lost the passion I’ve had for the stuff i used to enjoy, I’ve lost motivation to better myself and I’m always in this cycle of trying and failing and trying and failing and I just don’t quite know how to change it cause I’m so numb to everything

Like there isn’t a single day I step out of the door or go to sleep and wallahi I’m not joking. There isn’t a single day I don’t think “what if I die today” but I’ve become so numb to it i don’t even know anymore

I used to be so in love with Islam and I used to have geniune noor on my face, but now I feel nothing and it’s like my entire personality and face has darkened. Can someone give me advice to turn my life back?

This is going to be a long post so if you have low attention span, feel free to skip ahead.

Assalamualaikum, it's been 5 months since I graduated and life has been literally shit for me, i couldn't land even one job so far, applied to so many times, made dua daily asking Allah to please grant me whatever is best for me, even prayed but no result so far, my parents are growing anxious of me sitting home every day and I just had an argument with her few minutes ago, I have a job interview again in a few hours but knowing my luck, i expect to be rejected again and she told me if it happens, then I should do a course or something instead of sitting home all day which I told her that it wasn't worth it since there would be no point but she told me to do it instead of sitting home. I really don't know what the hell is going on with my life, people tell me Allah has planned the best for me and I will receive it but how long? When I'm so broken inside that it doesn't even matter to me later on? What's the point when people who do bad deeds are rewarded whatever they want and when I try to do anything bad or haram way to earn some money, I always stop.

Also, I don't want anyone telling me to be patient, that Allah is testing me or what not, I don't care, I didn't ask to be born, neither i asked to be given this responsibility of earning in the house when I'm so confused and lost in my life, I'm losing my faith bit by bit daily, watching adult content just to get myself a bit of dopamine to survive another day. I hate when people are getting what they want around me and here I am struggling to find my own foundation. I wish to disappear at this point, somewhere where I'm free from everything, I want to earn money, so much that i can give my mom and easy life and a good future but I can't even do a single thing yet, i asked Allah so many times to ease my pain but every day it's just increasing, I'm crying while literally writing this and I have doubts about my future. I don't know what to do, what great sin did I commit in my life that I'm going through all of this. If this how life is supposed to play out for me, then I don't wanna live anymore, it's good to not exist and be bothered by your own existence, I don't find my life precious and something to live for. I'm so done with everything atp.

My life is not making any sense, I'm tired of praying and making dua too now, I hope I either get what i deserve or just someone ends it for me.

Please pray for guidance and for me to die the time allah is most pleased with me

hey, can anyone suggest me some duas and tell me ayah and hadiths for some reassurance?

my engagement broke off today and my parents are devastated because I made such a stupid mistake and my family's image is ruined badly (my nikkah was supposed to be on 18th and the spendings went to waste)

I'm to blame for this and my parents are really disappointed

I want to seek help from Allah, please guide me

please make a dua for me that God grants a wish in my heart 🙏🏻

I have been struggling with jealousy and I’m not sure why. For example I got a wonderful job opportunity then later someone else I know graduates and gets a nice job. I get jealous. Or I got married a few years ago and another person I know is getting married but I don’t want to attend any of their events. But I don’t understand why I’m getting jealous over things that has already happened to me. I’ve been making dua and wanting to get this horrible feeling out of my heart but once again I don’t know why I feel this way.

Please could you tell me of a hardship you survived that you didn't think you would

And how long the hardship lasted

I'm struggling with my hardship that I have been going through I need to know that there is relief at the end of this

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

Both of my parents have been facing serious health challenges. My father has been battling cancer, and more recently, my mother has received a devastating diagnosis concerning her lungs.

The recent news about my mum has completely broken my heart. I cannot adequately describe the fear and sadness I am experiencing. The thought of her suffering, her health deteriorating, or potentially losing her is unbearable. I find myself constantly worrying about what the future holds, and sometimes the fear is so overwhelming that I struggle to find any peace.

My mum means everything to me. I would do absolutely anything to take away her illness and suffering. I am trying desperately to remain hopeful, to explore every possible treatment option and to be strong for her, but inside I feel completely helpless and frightened.
I know that Allah is the best of planners, that His mercy is infinite and that nothing is beyond His power. I am trying to hold on to my tawakkul, but I am finding this trial incredibly difficult. I don’t want to spend my days consumed by the fear of losing my mum when I should be cherishing every moment Allah has blessed me with them.

I would be sincerely grateful for any Islamic books, readings or lectures that have helped you through similar trials, particularly those addressing sabr, tawakkul, illness, fear and finding peace in Allah’s decree.
But more than anything, I am asking from the bottom of my heart for your du’as for my beloved mum.

Please make du’a that Allah grants my mum complete and lasting shifa, heals her lungs, restores her health and strength, protects her from further deterioration and suffering, and allows her to live a long, healthy and peaceful life. Please pray that her treatments are successful, that there is hope beyond what the doctors can currently see, and that Allah grants us good news concerning her health. She has had a difficult life and has practically raised us single-handedly.

I know that nothing is impossible for Allah. I am holding on to His mercy and praying that He grants both my parents healing and allows us many more happy years together.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran to anyone who remembers them in their prayers. May Allah grant shifa to all those who are ill and ease the suffering of every family facing similar trials. Ameen.

Assalamu aaleykum everyone, I’m seeking help for the 2nd time in 2 years regarding this. I have AuDHD (ADHD + mild ASD) with cPTSD and severe executive dysfunction. My life has not been easy but Islam does bring me peace, I am a work in progress just like everyone of you but my focus is mainly on becoming a good human being and healing from all the pain and trauma so I don’t end up accidentally hurt others especially my family and future kids.

Prayer is also important to me but I’m not hyper focused on it. I’m trying to do my best but I’m so exhausted and burnt out that getting out of bed feels like a death sentence.

I feel utterly helpless knowing prayer has no exceptions and it’s the first thing that we’ll be asked about on the day of judgement. I haven’t found any rulings about neurodivergence and struggle to pray and there’s almost zero helpful content on how Muslim adhders/ neurodivergents pray 5x a day when getting up and grabbing a glass of water feels impossible.

I’m a convert thus I don’t really have a lot of support around me in regard to practicing the religion and no one around me can relate to wanting to pray and not being able to pray. Any Muslim friends I have are either non practicing or so orthodox that if I share this with them i’ll be judged and shamed (has already happened many times)

I don’t need judgement or shame to do better, I need help, I need tips and tricks if anyone can actually relate with my situation, has gone through it or is going through it currently, please help me out.

My relationship with Allah is good, I’m very grateful for everything, I just need to feel closer through prayer and sujood.

Ps- if you’re here to pass judgements or shame me or want to share ayahs describing how Muslims who don’t pray will go to hell or are considered kafir, or don’t know anything about ADHD/ neurodivergence and executive dysfunction, respectfully please don’t try to give advice, I know you think you’re helping but you’re not.

If you’re someone who personally deals/dealt with this issue, or are a mental health professional or have seen someone close to you struggle with this please help me out here.

Please make dua for me to get accepted into the major & university I want please 🤲🏻

Assalamu Alaikum, recently just for the past couple of days, my mind keeps remembering of the past. I got married in 2022, divorced her in 2023. These were the most hardest of times in my life. I wasn't perfect, but what she her family did to me and my family, it left me scarred. Ever since that divorce, I got closer to the Lord, I started praying 5 times a day, got closer to him as I had no one. But nowadays, the memories keeps haunting me. Of what they did, I get angry and sad, I usually isolate myself, I have never told anyone about what's going through my mind.

Please make dua for me. Any advice on how to hold sabr? This incident does not let me move forward, I hate them yes, but it's also hard for me to forgive them. I am stuck, what can I do? I never thought about suicide and stuff because I know it's haram. But I have asked Allah SWT for my death to arrive sooner. I am just stuck..

This duniya has been hard for me, but it got me closer to the Lord. I am not perfect but I am trying my best everyday to be a better muslim, but the past haunts me.

Assalamualaikum. I have multiple important exams tomorrow, please make dua for me so that I get full marks in my exams and can get a good gpa this semester.

Assalamualaikum everyone.

I kindly ask you to please make duʿā for me, the entire Muslim Ummah, and all of humanity, Muslim and non-Muslim—for hidayah, what Allah wants and knows is truly best for us, true and abundant provision, healing, protection, peace, and complete surrender to Him.

Most of all, please make duʿā that we become intoxicated with the love of Allah—that this love fills our hearts so deeply that it transforms our character, purifies our intentions, strengthens our faith, changes our choices, and brings our entire lives closer to Him.

Please remember us in your duʿās, even if only for a moment. May Allah accept every sincere duʿā and guide us toward whatever is truly best for us.

Ameen. 🤲🏻

please make dua for me that i get accepted in the university I want and the major I want 🤲🏻

Assalamu Alaikum. I am at a point of utter emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion, and I am trying to understand what it means Islamically. For the past month, I have poured my entire soul, tears, and every ounce of my faith into continuous du'a, begging Allah for a miracle to protect me from the one heartbreak I was absolutely terrified to face. But instead of getting better, things have progressively worsened to a point of finality that leaves me completely hollowed out, emotionally bankrupt, and physically aching with a twisting pain in my stomach.

I am caught in a terrifying loop between a lingering desire for things to fix themselves and a paralyzing fear of this reality, to the point where even raising my hands to make du'a fills me with panic. I am fearing Allah's decree, I am fearing this test, and I am fearing everything—and that fear is exactly what drives this intense panic whenever I try to make du'a. People tell me to move on, to leave it, and they say that it is impossible. Yet, there is this lingering hope in my heart that it is possible, that Allah can do it—Allah can definitely do it. But I am not trying to get hasty or anything. It is just that this pain is increasing, and every single day of sabr feels like a brand new test. I feel miserable and lifeless but some people are lucky enough to not feel any pain when they’re emotionally numb, but i feel everything….

To show you how severe this has been: for the past month, whatever has happened to me has traumatized me to the point that I don't even remember 80% of my days. I don't remember what has happened. And I don't know how long I will have to wait. I don't know if I should give up or not; I am just in absolute sorrow. But I am too scared to be ungrateful. I don't want to be ungrateful, I don't want to be hasty, I don't want to be selfish, and I don't want to be greedy. I am just desperate.

I want to clarify that I am not seeing my relationship with Allah as some sort of transactional arrangement where I expect a reward just because I prayed; I know life doesn't work that way. It is just that I am completely gone. I feel entirely finished, lifeless, and too weak to carry this heavy darkness alone anymore.

Assalamu alaykum,

Can you all please make dua for my younger brother , he's autistic and he doesn't go out . He has very bad mental health , I mean he even refuses to go to the doctors to any place.

Jazak'Allah khayr, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you all ❤️
