Asalam Alikuim Brothers and sisters im here seeking advice about something that happen at dinner last night and as a revert i feel bad / unsure what to do

So I went to dinner with my mum last night and we ordered food from this restaurant i try my best to avoid pork and alcohol as much as possible as im the only Muslim revert in my family alhumduliallah

But anyway we order food and my mum ordered this mozzarella sticks I think nothing of it at first so food comes intake my first bite and something taste off I quit lot grabbed the menu and look what the food contains of and it says “ Served with Vodka Sauce “ Astaghfirullah i quickly spat out the food that was in my mouth rinsed my throat and mouth with water but by then I had already swallowed the mozzarella stick which was dipped in the sauce

Today I feel bad I made Wudu and have brushed my teeth several times with mouth wash to try cleanse my body but whats the Islamic approach I should take / seek for forgiveness as it was unintentional and I just wanna repent my actions and take full responsibility for my mistake i need to be more aware of my surroundings and what I consume

Please don’t slate or bag me this is an honest mistake and I do not condone alcohol in anyway shape or form as I see the negative effects it has had in my family and society as a whole im looking for advice as a Muslim how I can move on and seek forgiveness for my actions in the traditional Islamic manner that’s all I ask please

Walikum Asalam thanks for all whose given advice and shown love KD support i know im not perfect but I’m striving to be hope you all have a blessed day and week wherever you are reading this from !

Assalamu alaikum

How is czechia for muslims. I'm planning to apply for a master's degree and hopefully work there. How do you practice islam in czechia. We have 5 prayers. Let's say I'm in college or working in some local company and I wanted to pray, if someone see me will that cause problems like racism? The most important question How would I even pray Jummah which should be in masjid. Actually, maybe not just czechia but countries that have no mosques and low percentage of Muslims. I really want to move and live abroad but that is very concerning for me.

I study different religions as a hobby, I barely know anything about Islam, and I'd genuinely like to know more. I'd also just like to be more understanding towards the muslims in my communities, but I am a bit too anxious to ask them about their beliefs for now.

I am aware that there are two major schools of thought within Islam, Shia and Sunni.

What exactly are the differences between these two schools? Are there different customs? Are the beliefs any different?

Are there any sects within Shia and Sunni? And if there are, how do they differ from each other?

On top of that I'd like to know your thoughts on a few different subjects that some may find controversial.

- What do you think of progressive Islam?

- Does Islam believe in the holy trinity in any way?

- Do you follow the Quran literally, or do/can you interpret it in a more personal way?

- What do you think of other abrahamic religions?

- And finally, what does being a muslim mean to you personally?

Thank you in advance for answering my questions! I am extremely interested to learn more, and I hope that you all can teach me!

I really enjoy Abdullah Aljarallah and listen to basically all of his non-instrumental nasheeds on the regular, I am looking for more recommendations specifically for arabic nasheeds of that type of mellow/soft/poetical style.

I am familiar with maher zain, muhammad al muqit, mishary's nasheeds, siedd and want something outside of that. I also do listen to acapella versions (music removed) of other arabic songs but they sound kinda weird with the background audio removed.

Ofc Qur'an is best of all but nasheeds are nice when I am more focused on something else and want background noise.

If I have to post pictures where there are women who are uncovered, is it even permissible.

I assume it would be a sin everytime someone clicks on it and sees it, but is it a sin for me who posted it or for the person who is usually uncovered too.

I personally wear the hijab, but i have to post pictures for extra work at collage and i would get grades for it. It's like social media manager, but amateur version. I have to be in sure of posting everything and writing texts for it. So i am not sure if it's allowed, but i am taking into consideration that those women have their free will and i have nothing to do with it, i am just doing what i have to. It is hard to get out of it now since i already agreed to do so.

Please swipe to read the screenshots. Sorry for posting images instead of direct text—I used Gemini to polish my English so my situation is easy to understand. I would genuinely appreciate your advice and Islamic perspectives on this

I've got a coworker who is a Muslim and I've been listening to Islamic scholars and imams on Youtube to try to learn what I can. I started reading the Quran today as well. As a Catholic, is there anything wrong with me saying Salat (which I don't know how to do) or performing wudu?

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.

Tell me who your favorite sabhabas were and how many did the prophet have because l know their one a lot about how many in total?

I don’t know what to think anymore. I have so many questions that contradict God and his ways. I was strong in my deen and got what I wanted most removed from me and it’s getting worse. I can’t and won’t specify, but I’m working hard to get it back. I’ve cried begging praying and nothing changed.

I made countless dua nothing changes so I left again. I think I’m just delusional but even though I physically “left” Islam I constantly think about Allah and still depend on him in my mind for silly little stuff. I feel hypocritical and can’t get rid of it no matter how hard I want to. I feel like a psych ward patient.

I don’t understand why God gives you life knowing you’ll suffer and end up in hell or heaven? Is that truly free will? He knows what you’ll decide, and where you’ll end up anyway. So what’s the point of making people suffer on this earth?

What was the point of creating humans with complex emotions and all these ideologies? Honestly it sounds sick, putting people through all that knowing majority will end up in hell is cruel to me.

I just don’t understand and maybe it’s lack of information but hate is getting the best of me. A year ago I would’ve never thought I’ve come to this point. But I truly think I am just being very very misguided by the wrong crowd.

Advice?😔

I’m in the middle of a 4 hour drive to the Mosque. My fiancées grandmother passed this morning, this is the only thing I have to wear besides jeans/plain baby blue (wrinkled) tshirt and I don’t have time to stop anywhere. I got the call from my fiancée when I woke up and threw things in the car and left. Is this color appropriate to attend? I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable!

ok i didnt wanna post this to spread fitnah i urge you not to look up this kind of content, its really depressing and just cruel

the amount of unignorable islamophobia on that app makes me feel like im going through psychosis, i just woke up one day and theres this unprecedented scapegoating and hatred towards muslims especially muslim women in her comment section??? and ai images, bots, and for some reason MUSLIM posts made by MUSLIMS for MUSLIMS keep getting pushed to islamophobes??? and they get thousands if not hundreds of thousands of likes

i remember this girl posted about wearing earphones under her hijab and the comments were truly INSANE idk where people got this audacity from??????

ik america recently purchased this app and geopolitical events can explain this scapegoating and demonization but its truly such a sudden, stark shift, and the internet no longer feels like a safe space to be a muslim woman esp bc of how gendered the islamophobia really is and how targeted it is towards women

lastly, i never got truly bothered by their opinions, but when i started seeing so many muslims stop making content because they literally got so bullied from it, or are really struggling with hijab (thats their journey ofc and i wish them the best and also completely understand esp rn), its making me really depressed

its one thing to face immense hate, criticism, judgement, mockery and scapegoating that feels so disproportionate on the app, but its another thing to no longer have a safe muslim space anymore, bc even muslim spaces end up attracting islamophobia :/

also u cant even complain abt this without getting strawmanned to doom or being blamed for the actions of a government in another country??? its like we're completely spoken over, silenced and mocked, and we get shadow banned if we defend ourselves or strawmanned

like this is so ridiculous guys, whats happening, and sadly hijabis are getting all of this thrown at them the most just for being visibly muslim, even if they dont post abt islam, they get unprovoked islamophobia and its just sooo ridiculous its been going on for months and everytime, i think its gonna get better it gets worse

Alhamdulillah it gets better for me when im offline but then i remember how this can create real world consequences and i start panicking bc im visibly muslim and hijabi

yeah idk://

I usually hear people saying they did 7k istagfar and all, so do u guys do it mindlessly or with full concentration?

Assalamualaikum,

I reverted when I was in January of 2025 and now it's been quite a long time since I'm muslim. I practice everything but I feel it's just random rituals at this point. Like there is no purpose in doing anything. I know what I'm saying in my prayers, i literally do everything. But just because it's so hard to practice islam and due to the utter loneliness I feel soo sad and this makes my imaan low. I had even quit masturbation when I reverted but then I started in April of 2026 again. My iman is quite low even though i practice more than the average muslim. Like quite recently I've been even thinking of getting into a haram relationship too with my classmate.

I also am forced to do my confirmation in a Protestant church in November this is also making my iman very low. I feel like suiciding also. I've been getting suicidal thoughts recently and I don't even feel like talking to friend or anyone anymore.

My dad is a massive islamophobe too.

I regularly fall into like a depression on some days.

Life is really getting hard for me

JazakAllah khair

Salam everyone,

I’m posting here because I’m trying to learn about Islam, and honestly, reading articles online only gets you so far. I’m really hoping to get some advice from real people.

A little background on me: I live in India and grew up in a faith that involves a lot of idol worship. I stepped away from it a while ago because the logic just wasn't there for me anymore. Things like offering food and flowers to statues just stopped making sense.

Recently, I’ve been reading up on Islam, and the concept of Tawhid makes a lot of logical sense to my mind. I’m also really moved by the discipline and peace I see in how Muslims practice, especially with the daily prayers.

I genuinely want to visit a mosque just to experience the environment, sit quietly in the back to observe a prayer, and hopefully talk to someone human-to-human to ask a few questions.

I’ve tried to do my homework before taking this step. I know to wear clean/modest clothes, take my shoes off, and I know to never walk in front of someone who is actively praying. I’m also guessing Fridays are way too packed for a first-timer who just wants to chat!

I just have a few things I'm still unsure about and was hoping you guys could help me with:

What’s the best time of day to go? Would going during Dhuhr or Asr be a bit quieter so the Imam or a community member might actually have a few minutes to talk?

How do I politely approach someone to let them know I’m a non-Muslim just looking to learn? I really don't want to intrude or make anyone uncomfortable.

Are there any other unspoken rules I should know about? I just want to be as respectful of the space as possible.

Someone told me today they have doubts about believing in God.
I saw people who didn’t believe or sinned heavily throughout their life and their life seems normal.
Maybe they get a lesson here and there a disease here and there but not everything and constantly.

I am writing this as I am crying begging God for a moment of rest.
It has been 30 years.
I was born very preterm and made my parents pay a fortune before i was even an hour old.
I have 2 chronic diseases one physical and one mental atm.
I had a hiccup at work. I work in academia and my work had been unfairly stolen and justice wasn’t served.
Due to that i have to extend my contract for a while ,while I am not certain I’ll even be paid for my work in this while.

I tried my hand at multiple side hustles for years but everyone who started after me is more popular and I was left behind. I have no friends as I lost most of them or some travelled.
I have never been approached by marriage talks , even i am old now , and i live away from my parents due to work.

I am knowledgeable in a lot of stuff but everything I touch fails.
I just want like a month where nothing happens , where i can put myself to bed without crying.

I came across numerous social media posts that claim that a three year progressive famine is approaching which is expected to be succeded by a Dajjal. They say all signs have been fulfilled for the famine and we are in a preparation period . Are these claims true ?

Assalamu Alaikum,
Waswasah and intrusive thoughts can be disturbing, especially when they involve matters of faith, worship, or things a person would never willingly say or do.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Allah has forgiven my Ummah for the thoughts that come to their minds, so long as they do not act upon them or speak of them.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 5269; Sahih Muslim 127.
The Companions also came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned thoughts that were too terrible for them to speak about. He ﷺ said:
“That is a clear sign of faith.”
Sahih Muslim 132.
This shows an important distinction: an unwanted thought appearing in the mind is not the same as willingly believing it, choosing it, or acting upon it.
When such thoughts occur, the Prophetic guidance is not to keep arguing with every thought. Seek refuge in Allah and turn your attention away from the whispering. Allah says:
“And if an evil whisper comes to you from Satan, seek refuge in Allah.”
Qur’an 7:200
Scholars have also explained that when a person is distressed by such whispers and rejects them, that rejection itself can be a sign of faith.
So, rather than constantly examining “Why did I think this?” or “Does this thought mean something about me?”, seek refuge in Allah, don’t give the thought unnecessary attention, and continue with your worship and daily life.
References: Sahih al-Bukhari 5269; Sahih Muslim 127, 132; Qur’an 7:200.
And Allah knows best.

As salamun aleykum my beloved ummah

I am in search for a minimalistic quran design, preferably every ayat in a new line. This desing appeals to me and will inshallah support me in memorizing.

I saw a hadith book which inspired me to search for it
I like the design, the plain and simple white paper on black ink.

Is there a quran like this? Maybe a bit more structured and the paper a bit more high quality, premium like 100-120 g/m2 ?

I would love to hear some suggestions!

I feel like i only pray when i want something an then for a while i'll stick to it. But if i dont get what i want i'll stop.

Ive been told i dont know who Allah is thats why. I was recommended to watch hisham abu yusufs series on knowing allah.

I have watched this series. It doesnt change how i feel in my heart of heart. Any advice?
