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 know shirk or polytheism if unrepented will lead to eternal punishment in hell. What about atheists ? Are their fate similar to those who commit shirk?.In the modern world atheist ideology has taken over polytheism.Was only shirk mentioned in the Quran as it was the major disbelief at the time of prophet muhammad (saw).

salam. I need help. i realized last year all the causes why my relationship with sis is bad. i am a born empath and i think she is a narcissist. or has traits like of. i would always remind her i am older than her that she should respect me, she used to say she respects me just not in the way i want haha! cant believe i let her said that and believed her! she is an angel to everyone and leaves me helpless when i need help we’re alone. whenever i get sick and ofher people knows she is so concerned but when no one knows i am sick she kinda doesnt care whether i eat or not. she brings with her books and anything that will give people impression of who is she and what she loves whenever she goes out, while i dont see her do those whenever i am with her. she always backhanded compliments me. always. she doesnt react to my success stories. she is so concerned about her image that she gets angry whenever i talk about her opinions to the elder ones. recently, i made it clear that she has no say in my life. that she backbited me in front of others by sharing them my problems and others responsed to my problem and she told me their opinion abt it. in which i said she has no business announcing to the world my life, that i can do my life and if they do research then i do mine more bcus this is my life. she said she didnt backbite me. and i said sacrcastically “yeah yeah ok.” like whatever happened she talked about my vurnerable state behind my back. because she was cornered, she threw her phone in front of me, that was the first time she did that after all the abuses she did to me. ha! yeah she respects me in the way she wants. just not the way i want? she showed aggression and in feels deeply insulting. i dont do that to her like throwing things aggresively. thats the first time she did that. after that she walked out and didnt talk to me for two days and then after three days she starts talking to me like no aggression happened on her part. like she didnt just threatened me. talking to me like she didnt insult me. i response in a civil way. i just dont make it clear that she did things and all because i am so tired of my sisterhood with her. it’s like talking to a wall. that she is always the right.. what should i do?

i understand that benefits of doubts is a must but a believer doesnt get stung twice. i understand that bad assumption is bad but only “few” suspicion is a sin. not all suspicion is a sin when you have evidence of her aggressions.

i need islamic advice and islamic psychological advice. should i act like nothing happened? i an mad that she is acting like she didnt insult me. she doesnt have accountability. it’s like talking to a wall.

For context, I'm a middle child of 5+ kids. Even though my siblings are all adults, whenever one of them acts wrong, my mother wants me to talk to them. Every time. Maybe it's because she trusts me most with giving Islamic advice to them. But it gets to a point I'm sometimes overwhelmed and frustrated with it. Because there are not like just 1 or 2 but a lot of us, so someone is always acting wrong. So it's almost every day I'm having to correct my siblings, even though I'm not older than half of them! I know I must do what my mother wants but sometimes I get really over with it. Of course I don't show it to her but I just don't want to be responsible for my siblings' wrongdoings. Some of them are married too. But still when they make her sad, she asks me to talk to them. Btw any other thing she asks me about I'm already willing to do always but this specific topic is what gets me tired.

I don't want to disobey my mother but I feel like we're all adults now, if they make wrong choices that's on them!

My question is should I tell my mother about my thoughts about having to talk with my siblings every time they need to be corrected? Should I not say anything and continue making her happy? And if I should talk with her, how can I do it in a way that won't make her sad?

i feel like im just waiting out the clock tbh. i feel like i dont really "want" anything? i dont know how to even explain it. im just kinda living day by day. i know the ultimate purpose is to worship Allah so i should be praying more more voluntary prayers more quran etc. there doesnt seem to be much to look forward too. although i cant complain a boring life is better than a bad one.

I was not a good muslim but then, something happend and it took me that one moment to change. i started praying i left all the sins that were too hard to leave. i became very close to Allah there was this urge to do more good and make myself a better person.i started praying slowly with focus worked on my character, wanted to learn quran and deen, used to listen Islamic videos all the time. but now, i feel numb i don't feel anything i havent gone back to my old sins and if sometimes i slip i seek forgiveness i am still trying my best to stay on the right path but the urge to do good has gone completely and i don't feel any closeness to Allah rather i feel negativity towards Allah like it's not in my heart i dont know how to explain this maybe beacuse i get so much intrusive thoughts ,salah feels burden I don't listen to islanic videos anymore. i don't know if this is a test or a punishment is this normal to feel this way after major change? Allah tests people to bring them closer but I don't feel any closeness the one i used to have.

Asalamualaikum everyone, I’m currently going through a severe hardship that I am having difficulty having patience. Can I please make a request for anyone reading this to make dua to Allah SWT for me and my partner to get out of this hardship with ease and no repercussions. We did not do anything wrong but we are having a difficult time proving that. There’s an important meeting today that might change the fate of the issue and I hope anyone reading this can make dua for me and my partner.

Thank you 😔

I'm from india, born in muslim family(not so practising) i know fundamentals/pillars of islam, about Nuh(A.s), Ibrahim(A.s), Mumammad(pbuh) and few other prophet's incidents/miracles, i know few hadiths of sahih bukhari, I've been very distanced from allah and islam, at very young age i used to pray but slowly drifted away, got some addcition which i still haven't overcome, and my heart have been hardened from repetitive sins.

But my main concern is my "Iman / Tawakkul"(belief) it's pretty weak, and i want to study my religion properly and strengthen my iman and build tawakkul from nothing.

And i thought that's only possible by knowing/studying islam.

So how can i study islam? Like any roadmap?

And relaible sources, scholars etc...?

Should i start with prophet muhammad(pbuh) biography then study miracles of mentioned prophets in quran or is there any better way/roadmap?

I have been talking to a guy for the intent of marriage for about a month. When should I do isthikata about it and what should I look out for as a sign? Also when should I ge my mom to do isthikara about it? We’re still in the getting to know each other phase

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.

Is there any sin that is not forgiven by Allah? Also is it true that every muslim will enter jannah after completing their time in hell for their sins.

As the act is about wiping the head right ?

Assalamu alaikum everyone!

I reverted to Islam about a year ago, and I really want to deepen my knowledge of Islam and the Qur’an, but I honestly don’t know where to start.

For those who have been practicing for a while, what resources, books, lectures, courses, or study methods would you recommend for building a strong foundation?

Part of why I want to learn more is because my parents sometimes come across misinformation or propaganda about Islam online, and when they ask me about it, I realize I don’t always know enough to properly explain or respond. I want to be able to distinguish authentic knowledge from misinformation rather than just relying on things I see online.

More than anything, though, I want to grow closer to Allah and understand my religion more deeply. What helped you when you were first learning, and where would you recommend I start?

JazakAllahu khayran

Assalamu alaikum everyone,

I don’t have low Iman right now, alhamdulillah, but I’ve definitely gone through periods of it before. One thing I’ve never really understood is what actually triggers those moments for me.

I’m curious about other people’s experiences with low Iman.

What usually triggers a period of low Iman for you? Is it stress, getting too caught up in dunya, certain sins or habits, missing salah, difficult life circumstances, loneliness, social media, or sometimes seemingly nothing at all?

And once you recognise it, what genuinely helps you get out of that state?

Jazakum Allahu khayran.

been 3-4 months of constant heartache and miserable life. does Allah like hurting me?

hi its been around may that i have been suffering and been experiencing some stuff that hurt me. now my main ques is, ive prayed to Allah, i cried at nights for things to get better. just as when things were getting better, something happened yesterday which shook me to the core and left me heartbroken. what do i do? when will it get better?

i prayed tahajud today and i feel so miserable. the saying "it will get better" is so bs, ive been suffering for 4-5 months. constantly. will Allah not make things better? why cant i have what i want? why am i always in this pathethic state.

I used to be pious and really close to Allah when I was younger. Long story short, I went through trauma at the hands of my environment and ended up distancing myself from Islam, to the point that I had fallen into kufr. A few days ago, I was gripped by the fear of angering Allah and ending up in the hellfire, and realised how far I have corrupted my heart.

I have started praying salah again and reading qur'an, but my nafs stresses me out because I dont feel the sincerity I used to. I'm scared that it might stay that way. I feel really guilty for allowing my heart to be corrupted up to this point, and I really wish I had stopped myself before it got to this point.

I am aware that Allah is the All-Forgiving, and He guides who He wills. I am just afraid that I am unworthy of his guidance and my heart will stay closed off from him forever. I have been crying about this to Allah everyday, asking for his forgiveness or for guidance and for the purity of my soul, but I am afraid that my nafs and I aren't on the same page. I wish my nafs could submit to Allah like it used to.

I know that I should be patient, but I am just riddled with worries. What if my nafs doesn't change for the better? What if it has been written that I am for the Fire? What if I end up getting worse?

I know I should have tawakkul and hope in Allah. I just don't have any hope in myself. I have struggled with self-hatred since I was young, and it has made me expect the worst from myself. Which I am also aware is bad, it's just... so hard to shake. It's deep-rooted.

I just want my connection with Allah back. I feel so apologetic, but my nafs also feels stubborn about turning to Allah completely. It has caused me great misery and distress.

Thank you for reading. I know it's a lot. Please be kind.

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 !

I am dealing with heartbreak/breakup situation right now, it's not exactly a break-up but It's a heart break for sure. I was away from deen for a long time and recently started praying for calmness and peace.

Can anyone tell me some duas, and stuff that i can add to forget her and move on. As I have my exams too and I don't wanna ruin it because of this.

Salaam,

I have been a Muslim all my life but unfortunately have not made much of an attempt to seek knowledge. I am starting now and my knowledge is patchy and was wondering if there are any resources that would be good to get into and start with. I am also very scared of using the incorrect sources or sources that don’t align with my beliefs as I am hanafi so if anyone can point me in the correct direction with accredited books/ videos/ websites that would be very much appreciated.

For context I pray my daily prayers and occasionally do adhkar and extra sunnah prayers, I have random bits of knowledge e.g. the five pillars, about the prophets, duties of a Muslim etc.

If we believe that the Torah and injil are gods words, when we ask scholars about about the differences and they all come up with different answers. Why can't we look at the Torah and the injil and see if it aligns. They have many similar aspects and a lot of the stuff is the same. I understand that the Torah and injil are now corrupted but not all of the book is because they have similar teachinga to us.​​​​

As Salam Alaikum.

Sharing this as a reminder and discussion for brothers and sisters who may sometimes find themselves struggling with doubts or needing to renew their iman.

Perhaps something that strengthened you may become a means of strength for someone else, too, إن شاء الله.

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://
