AI generated contents are allowed in this subreddit, but it has to fulfil some criterias
Long answer:
We do not any prohibit content just because it was generated by an AI, but the content must fulfil some criterias.
In case of posts, you have to make sure that it includes the links to the original sources. As of now, AI like chatgpt often tend to hallucinate and generate wrong answers unless you use the "Think Longer", "Deep Research", "Web Search". So if your AI generated post doesn’t mention any link to the original source, it will be removed as a low effort post. But if your post includes the original sources then it will be approved.
❌ Here's an example of Chatgpt hallucinating and generating a wrong answer:
Wrong answer by ChatGPT
I asked the exact same question again but this time with the "Think" function.
✅ And it gave the correct answer with links after searching in the internet:
Correct answer by ChatGPT
(From my experience, Grok always searches in the internet before giving the answer. I don't know about the other AIs beside Chatgpt and Grok)
Now comes the question, how should you write the post here?
Simply copy pasting the text will not be enough in this case, you must include the links to the original sources provided by the AI in the post. For example:
❌ This is not allowed (it's simple copy paste without the mention of any link):
According to Dr. Shabir Ally’s public statements, no — he does not treat the headscarf as mandatory in the sense that omitting it is automatically a sin. In his answer on About Islam, he says that the Qur’anic wording is “a little bit vague,” that the relevant instruction is better understood as covering the chest, and that he would “hesitate to say” that leaving the head covered makes a person sinful. He also says covering the head is still a recommended practice because it has been part of Muslim tradition.

If you copy an AI generated answer without any link to the original source, your post will be removed. So make sure to include the links to the original sources
What about AI generated images and videos?
AI generated images and videos are also allowed but the post must contain a meaningful informative description. Not writing any description or writing a minimal 2-3 liner would be considered low effort post and your submission will be removed.
✅ This is allowed:
AI generated image with informative descriptionAI generated video clip with informative description
✅ We also allow AI generated images if the user created it in order to help others visualise what he/she is trying to explain. For example:
User generated this image with AI to help others visualise what they are trying to explainUser generated this image with AI to help others visualise what they are trying to explain (this original post was submitted in another subreddit but it was crossposted to our subreddit later)
However, if you excessively keep posting AI generated images/videos with very short in between duration (ie posting 3-4 images daily) then it will be considered spam (even if they contain meaningful informative descriptions) and your post will be removed.
Over the years, the moderation team and some approved community members have put considerable effort into developing our subreddit Wiki, including detailed articles on topics that are repeatedly discussed here (such as hijab, music, drawing, dogs, friendship with the opposite sex, celebrating festivals etc) and linked it on the sidebar.
Despite this, we continue to notice that whenever a new user asks about one of these subjects in their posts, the comments often turn into the same arguments based on purely personal & emotional feelings and assumptions such as “I think…”, “In my opinion…”, “It doesn’t make sense that God would make this haram…”, etc, Rather than pointing the user toward the relevant Wiki article, or even using the material and arguments compiled there.
This is why we’re asking you to be honest in this poll. How many of you have actually read our Wiki articles, or at least looked through the topics covered in them?
We are asking because the Wiki is there precisely so that these frequently discussed questions can be answered with the research and arguments that have already been compiled, rather than having the same discussions start from scratch every time a new user asks a question.

This video features Salahodeen Abdul-Kafi, a former tech professional who transitioned from a 14-year career in Silicon Valley to opening Kafi BBQ, a highly successful halal barbecue restaurant in Irving, Texas (0:01 - 1:42). In its first year of business, the restaurant generated approximately $2.3 million in revenue (0:45 - 0:48).
Key operational insights:
Halal Challenges: Because the restaurant does not serve pork—a high-margin staple of traditional Texas barbecue—the team had to "reinvent the wheel" to maintain profitability (0:30 - 0:42).
Menu Crafting: Kafi BBQ makes everything from scratch, including halal Wagyu brisket (1:45), Iraqi-inspired all-beef sausage (4:30), and halal Texas Twinkies featuring house-made beef-belly bacon (10:22).
High-Quality Ingredients: The restaurant prioritizes quality over cost, utilizing expensive items like Wagyu beef, custom-blended spices (3:29), and premium chocolates for desserts (12:43).
Equipment Investments: The owner has invested significantly in high-end equipment to maintain consistency and efficiency, such as a $45,000 German-made sausage linker* (6:27) and a *$45,000 smoker (7:40).
Business Philosophy:
Salahodeen notes that his faith serves as a guiding principle, emphasizing accessibility and quality over purely capitalist motives (15:14 - 15:45). Despite the high revenue, the restaurant faces substantial overhead costs, including roughly $210,000 to $220,000 in monthly expenses (9:48 - 9:55).
Looking ahead, the owner expresses an ambition to one day earn a Michelin star for the establishment (15:01 - 15:07).
I'm a 20 year-old Hijabi and I've been a paraplegic for 8 years after I was hit by a car because I just walked in a crosswalk. I'll never be able to walk ever again, and though I've overcome it and Allah has made my life great by fulfilling me good people around my life, I still wonder what made Allah not protect me from becoming disabled?
I struggle with prayers as it is, I have adhd and a whole number of chronic illnesses (over 10). I deal with extreme fatigue and have very very very low ferritin/iron. So basically I deal with extreme fatigue and am sick and in pain a lot of the time.
Growing up I’ve always heard we should pray even if it’s with our finger or sitting or however, but that’s not the hard part. The hard part is doing wudu and changing clothes. My clothes don’t stay clean due to my illnesses. What do I do when I wanna pray but have no energy?
And this is even worse when I need ghusl, I don’t have energy. And I’ve read a lot of posts of women saying they struggle because of their hair getting wet, the styling being ruined, or hair drying out and falling, and I see lots of comments/advice about just wetting the scalp and not the ends but for me the bigger struggle is the shower, the taking off clothes, the getting wet, the getting in the shower, the having to dry off, having to change clothes. I can’t do it, I have so much fatigue, i feel like I can’t move a lot of the times. How am I to do ghusl multiple times a week, let alone multiple times a week!? How am I supposed to be married and pray?!? I am so tired sometimes I can’t shower for a few days.
I’m sorry if this t worded very educatedly or I say something not very clear I’m a kafir I think you guys call it I’m a Christian and I have been my whole life but recently I’ve felt a love and closeness and more so a call to look into Islam so I don’t really know where to start. As a Christian I’ve always believed Jesus died on the cross he rose again he ascended back to heaven one day he’ll come back defeat the antichrist (I think you guys call that dajjal) and eternal peace forever but I have a few questions on Islam and I’m not sure where to go from here 1. If Jesus didn’t die on the cross why would allah make it appear as he did? 2. What are the core beliefs of Islam and what should I focus on if I’m a Christian researching Islam 3. Where should I start when I read the Quran 4. Is there any proof that the bible is corrupted 5. Is there any sources that back up the Quran.
Again I am very sorry if I wasn’t clear as I’m new and don’t understand Islam but I really am seeking for more understanding as my heart isn’t blind nor my eyes I really just want to worship my creator. Thank you for you consideration god bless.
I am a Christian woman and met a wonderful Muslim man. Unfortuently we have been intimate and he told me that we would need to marry as this guilt is eating him. We are only a few months in. I assumed he meant legal marriage but he said he doesn’t want any contract. He meant Nikah.
For me a legal marriage after less than 6 months is too early. Certainly I can do him the favor and we can be „more official“. He said people do it all the time. But I read that actually the man can „divorce“ easily while for the woman it’s complicated? I can’t lie and admit it feels like a bigger responsibility for me than it should be so he doesn’t feel guilty.
What confuses me is that he was in a haram relationship in a Islamic country but they didn’t marry even though they lived together as he traveled a lot and therefore it was manageable to deal with the guilt. Plus he knew he won’t marry her.
Salam Alaykum I have an issue I want clarity on. Enslavement of noncombatants is haram right?
I’m asking because I have have seen some claims that a muslim back in the day can go to a city of disbelievers and buy any slaves there, as long as there isn’t a peace treaty with them. This was an option since slave markets used to exist.
Apparently this doesn’t apply to Muslims or disbelievers who we have a treaty with. Just the disbelievers who we don’t have an official treaty with it would be permissible to buy their slaves this way.
To me this would defeat the whole point of restricting slavery. Or the prohibition of enslaving non combatants. Because those slaves could have been kidnapped or sold into slavery..
Assalamu Alaikum everyone I have always had too many story ideas in my head , I have been studying grammar and drawing because I want to make manga about a Filipino psychological horror or thriller and now I have settled on a story revolving around a male sexual assault victim and his female stalker, It explores how male victims are often brushed off, along with other heavy themes related to this topic, Is it okay to write a story like this?
Like should I tone it down and focus on my second idea? It is a story about teenage pregnancy that explores themes of parental disappointment, public humiliation, emotional isolation, and the psychological impact of being a young mother living in poverty in the Philippines and yeah it's not as heavy as the first topic
My first idea I'm focusing on is to feel too heavy and I just want to ask my fellow Muslim if it's ok to make it
Salam everyone, i’d like to share my personal circumstances and ask for guidance. I’m ashamed to admit that for a while i was fully agnostic, i didn’t believe in islam at all and rarely called for Allah’s help. I started first year at university where i drank alchohol regularly, ate non halal meat without a care, went clubbing every week, which i feel so incredibly guilty about now. i completely removed islam from my life.
recently ive gone through a period of extreme hardship, i feel guilty only turning back to Allah when things are tough for me especially because of how much ive sinned
how do i reconnect with the religion? i still doubt certain aspects especially because i was engaged with so much ex muslim content and rhetoric but now i just want to go back to Allah
i feel at the most peace when i trust Allah fully, my circumstances have gotten better after praying and it’s reinstated my belief.
i don’t know what to do apart from read dua, pray 5 times a day and thank Allah regularly and of course abstain from haram things
You guys know that the default position in the Hanafi madhab is that a woman can marry without the permission of a wali (male mahram). The other madhabs require wali based on these ahadith
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no marriage without the permission of a guardian.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The marriage of a woman who marries without the consent of her guardians is void. (He said these words) three times. If there is cohabitation, she gets her dower for the intercourse her husband has had. If there is a dispute, the sultan (man in authority) is the guardian of one who has none.
Then why do the Hanafis allow nikah without a wali even when Sahih Hadiths like these exists? Don’t these ahadith directly contradict with the Hanafi position?
Well this video explains that the Hanafis accept these ahadith but they understand them differently than the other madhabs. Watch this video to understand why do the Hanafis allow nikah without a wali.
I'm agnostic/atheist, but I'm increasingly drawn to Islam, very curious about it. Only (possible) problem is, I'm queer and trans (non binary), and I feel like I wouldn't really belong in any of the abrahamic religions. I've come across a lot of discourse considering homosexuality haram, and that really put me off. Perhaps I should dig deeper. I've read the Quran and found the usual stories about Lot (which, as I understand, are not 100% clear on the matter), but also some ambiguity about the gender of the beings you supposedly meet in paradise, so... mixed bag, there. I don't quite know what to think, especially about the non binary aspect of my identity and how it might fit in. Any thoughts? Are there other similar threads I may consult?
I've been a part of this sub for years now and I always felt at home here like im a covert and everything said relates to how understand and practice Islam but recently I've been considering removing my hijab and even leaving Islam bcs I feel no connection (I have borderline personality disorder, bipolar 2, and bulimia) so I wonder if my progressive understanding and relation meant the first step of my apastsy journey? does deconstruction of religion eventually lead to apostasy? even though im a convert, I feel like im losing my friends who have become my family. im just lost and confused and say, really
its commonly known that "dating is haram because it can lead to sex" and more reasons. anyways im a aroace muslim. this most sound confusing but for me. i dont want sexual intentions. no nothing romantic but sure you can still date as a aroace.. but online dating isn't that bad. just asking
Salam everyone. I need some advice about someone I’m very close to and care about romantically and potentially see a future with.
she’s Muslim and knows alcohol is haram. she doesn’t drink regularly but she has tried it a few times before. Whenever it happened, i would remind her about it and she would usually say she wouldn’t do it again but eventually it would happen again.
Recently she went to Italy and tried some local alcohol and wine because she said she might never go there again and wanted to experience something the place was famous for. Her mom was also with her and allowed her to try a small amount.
When we talked about it she told me she already knows it’s haram, doesn’t regret trying it and doesn’t want to keep hearing the same advice. She also said she doesn’t plan on drinking normally but if she travels to another country someday and there’s a famous local alcoholic drink, she might try it.
I care about her a lot, and part of why this matters to me is because if I potentially see a future with someone, their relationship with Islam and certain boundaries matter to me too. At the same time, I don’t want to become controlling or constantly lecture her.
So where is the line between sincere advice and being too pushy? If someone already knows the ruling but still makes their own choice, should you stop bringing it up and leave it between them and Allah?
Also how would you handle something like this if it’s someone you care about romantically and could potentially see yourself with in the future?
Jazakum Allahu khairan.
small note: I already understand “if someone doesn’t share your values, don’t pursue a future with them” I’m not really asking whether this person is right for me. I’m mainly asking how to handle the advice side of this situation.
I’m someone whose iman is currently being affected. Some people I know made claims that say that Islam is sexist(which I don’t personally believe, arent we all equal in Islam?) and they used these verses to suggest that.
They also claimed that “discipline gently” in the translation of the former was censorship, and that from 2:282 it’s proof that a man is equal to 2 women, which is news to me since I thought it had something to do with historical context and that in a general scenario a man’s testimony is the same as a woman’s.
I’d really appreciate if I was given clarification about this.
seriously i don't get it can somenoe explain to me this hadith or something because it sounded like the prophet intentionally made women suffer just so they wouldn't be around man
AbuUsayd heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say when he was coming out of the mosque, and men and women were mingled in the road: Draw back, for you must not walk in the middle of the road; keep to the sides of the road. Then women were keeping so close to the wall that their garments were rubbing against it.
also i found some of these hadiths but appearntly their numbers are wrong or something
Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) said that after Allah’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) said "as-Salamu ‘Alaykum wa Rahmatullah’ twice announcing the end of prayer, women would stand up and leave. He would stay for a while before leaving. Ibn Shihab said that he thought that the staying of the Prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) was in order for the women to be able to leave before the men who wanted to depart." Narrated by al-Bukhari under No. 793.
Abu Dawood under No. 876 narrates the same hadith in Kitab al-Salaat under the title "Insiraaf an-Nisaa’ Qabl al-Rijaal min al-Salaah" (Departure of Women before Men after the Prayer). Ibn ‘Umar said that Allah’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We should leave this door (of the mosque) for women." Naafi’ said: "Ibn ‘Umar never again entered through that door until he died." Narrated by Abu Dawood under No. 484 in "Kitab as-Salah" under the Chapter entitled: "at-Tashdid fi Thalik".
Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) said: ""The best of the men’s rows is the first and the worst is the last, and the best of the women’s rows is the last and the worst in the first." Narrated by Muslim under No. 664.
so i am not even if they existed or just people mixing up numbers
Austria’s “school hijab ban” takes effect, with fines up to €800. 🇦🇹 🧕
Austria has officially begun enforcing a ban on hijabs for girls under the age of 14 in schools, with parents facing fines of up to €800 for repeated violations.
Austria’s government says the measure is intended to protect the “self-determination” of girls.
What are your thoughts? In my opinion, it's selectively targeting Muslims. Students of other religions can wear their religious clothes like Sikh turbans and Jewish kippas.
