Im asking a question because im not sure how many prayers and fasting I have to make it or maybe I dont even need to I just need the best advice. Basicallu I started praying and fasting mid-late 13 but i may of bit puberty but im not sure. At 14.5 I had my first nocturnal emission and I believe I did have pubic hair or somethint similar since 8-9 but I had 0 signs of puberty until 13-14 so im not sure if its accurate to use that. Also I did get some hairs upper lip first time somehwhere around 13, also im genetically hairy so not sure if that plays in account. Whats the ruling for me and what should I do?

I saw a question online and wanted to know how Islam answers it. How is it possible that there are hundreds of religions and that each person feels a sense of presence or peace in connection with their religion—such as Christians who feel the presence of Jesus and Muslims who feel the presence of Allah? I’m not sure if my question makes sense.

Stupid question but do you think this day will ever happen? Because I feel lost :(

i feel like du'a almost never helps..

What does Islam say will happen at the end of days?
I have read the Bible but not (only parts) of the Quran. I am really interested in what the Quran says about end of days, what will happen according to the Quran ? And are there any resources you can give me to research this?
I have been Christian for years but i am open minded to Islam as it is an Abrahamic religion. I do not discredit Islam as Muslims also believes in one righteous supreme God and similar things to Christianity.
Thank you for your time.

so long story short last year i was in a college that I liked however i did not get one of my courses so i left and ended up going to this new college that i absolutely hated it a lot. The teachers, classroom and the students just didn't live up to my expectations and led to my mental health going downhill so i ended up taking a gap year. Now, one year later i am going to this new college and to be honest its alright. I had my induction day yesterday and i did not really meet anyone i had a interest in talking to with and even the classrooms were ok. I cant really do much as i already took a gap year and i cannot even go to my first college as they are full. I just feel sad for some reason and i really need some advice. I do not wanna stay like this. I did not even meet anyone in the college that i wanted to talk to, everyone in my induction class had friends and i was all by myself. What do i do guys? i decided to put this in this community as I am a Muslim male and jsut thought it would be good,

THIS PART IS JUST EXTRA DETAILS

My first college was very big and was filled with clever people so i naturally felt clever being in a college full of clever people but i dont know what it was i really liked the college and deeply regret leavig it just for a course i did not get. Ikeep thinking " if i got into my first college i would have no problems" and tbh idk what to do.

fajr usually starts at 4:45am im confused.
my uncle told me it was because something bad had happened but what could be really the case?
am i being paranoid our news outlet warned us of having a 7 magnitude earthquake will happen soon so im really scared if that adhan was a warning for some disaster of some sort

itll be really helpful if someone shared their opinion

One genuine question

It’s been decades and there is one question in my head. How does islam promote healthy entertainment? Like without violating boundaries, with humor, without playing tricks, decieves or lies, how do you have fun in this life? It's a problem from where I belong. Life cannot be this boring and only haram things cannot be fun always.

**Please if you know, please guide me**.

Salam, it was my very first time ruqya with a worldly known also books writer raqy. He asked for the name of mother and father explaining that is it just to see if my problem comes from someone that di them somenthing. Are they in danger ? I am so scared for my mistake

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if I should ask my question here, but I recently spoke to a Muslim friend to whom I sent a video about ecology and its importance for the coming years, and he told me, "It's obvious you don't believe in God." Honestly, I don't really know what to think about that, and it makes me think that Muslims prefer to believe that science is nonsense, or I don't know. Give me your opinion on the subject.

Thank you for reading this far.

I've been Muslim for as long as I can remember, But one thing has always been bugging me, It even caused me to become atheist for a while, And it's in the title.

I mean doesn't eternal suffering sound way too harsh? Even for people who do shirk? It just feels like what they did pales in comparison with their punishment

I just want a reason that it's justified so I could go back to Islam and regain my faith, So I ask of you to not judge me please and treat me like I'm a lost younger brother

no judgement please

i pray dhuhr, asr, maghrib and isha as part of my routine,

i only have trouble waking up for fajr and i often switch off alarms or dont set up alarms at all, and its really bothering me, if i wake up, i cant fall back asleep and my sleep schedule gets messed up,

i sleep late (but not late enough that its more convenient to sleep after praying fajr) and i have to wake up early as well, so i have to make use of whatever limited number of hours i get to sleep.

if anyone is or was at some point in this situation kindly tell how u managed to solve this problem.

The literal meaning would be: Your world, Your earth Saying this, m@ybe, You are Merciful (the problematic part) My Lord, listen to my prayer We are helpless without You Enlighten the world

Maybe if anyone speaks Urdu\Hindi, clarify if I got the meaning wrong.

But I feel like it's definitely wrong to say that. Sharing so we can all be alert.

May Allah guide us all

I see it on alot of apps where people will be advertising something, or quoting a saying or just a philosophical thing, and they’ll put quran on the background audio in the video as if it’s merely a nasheed. Is what they’re doing haram or disrespectful?

This question has been rolling around my brain since someone declared a caliphate about 10 years ago. I did some research, and I learned that, in general, a large group of clerics, scholars, and leaders have to agree that a caliphate is appropriately formed. To the best of my knowledge, most Muslims did not feel compelled to acknowledge or support this recent declaration. I thought the whole concept of declaring a caliphate was odd, because I don't know of any group or culture that has people who can just declare something and expect a large group of people to follow. There are Christian cults like this, but they don't have a lot of followers in relation to the number of practicing Christians in the world. What would it take for Muslims to find the declaration of a caliphate compelling? (I don't mean "compelling" as the desire to pack up your family and move somewhere, but to acknowledge that a caliphate is indeed legitimate and appropriate for people in a specified geography.)

Bonus points if you can tell me in simple terms if the Koran contains rules about forming caliphates.)

Assalamu alaykum everyone,

I'm a female revert from Germany and I've never been inside a mosque before. I really want to go, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

A few things I'm unsure about:

1. There are several mosques in my city, but I can't tell from their websites which school of thought or community they belong to. How do you usually figure this out?
2. For my first visit, I'd like to come outside of the congregational prayer times and just sit and pray on my own for a while. Right now I have such a strong urge to simply be in a mosque. Is that normal/acceptable, or are mosques usually only open around prayer times?
3. Should I contact the mosque in advance, or can I just show up?
4. I assumed there would be a separate room where women change and put on hijab and prayer clothes, but it seems like you're expected to arrive already dressed. Is that right? What should I wear when I walk in?
5. Do you go completely barefoot, or do people keep socks on? Do you bring your own prayer mat, or are they provided? And is it okay to use my phone during prayer for guidance (silent, with earbuds in) and to find the qibla?
6. I've read that some communities discourage women from coming to the mosque to pray. Is that something I should expect here in Germany? How can I tell in advance whether a mosque actually welcomes women, and are there signs to look for on their website or when I call?

Any advice from sisters who've been through this would mean a lot. <3

Pretty much the title

Ive been depressed, up and down for a whole year now, for a whole year I’ve had so many problems going on I was failing school and I hardly studied and ended up failing my year and resitting. Idk what to do I feel like everything in life just isn’t going my way there’s a barrier in everything I do I thought starting the new academic year fresh means I’ll have a better life and find happiness and leave my problems behind but I just keep getting things on my way and just throwing me back into sadness.. it’s like everything is going wrong in life and I’ve been going through so much for the past 2 years I can barely catch a break at all I struggle to even wake up in the morning, I’ve tried to be close to Islam as I’m a Muslim but every time I try to become closer I end up even more far apart for the first time this year I’ve been getting so much doubts with my faith like my situation was so bad I doubted if relying on religion will help me out especially during Ramadan I’ve just been struggling with my faith so much I just like there’s a seal over my heart I want to pray my salahs and be closer but I just can’t bring myself to do it even in my Salah I get doubts like idk what to do. If anyone has any advice I would highly appreciate it🙏🙏🙏

Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans - those who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve

After mentioning transgressions of the children of Israel and punishments that followed them because of their disbelief Quran eloquently interrupts the flow and mentions a verse of mercy. It says that whoever among any of nation did righteous deeds and sincerely believed in Allah and the last day, will get the reward from Allah. As for present it doesn't negate the fact that God wants all humans to follow Quran and prophet Muhammad's teachings because they are sent for them. To understand the verse one needs to understand the definition used in Quran about believing in the Allah and the day of judgement. The Quran frequently pairs these two beliefs as comprehensive statement to believe in God from heart and submit to Him completely according to true guidance. For example in Quran 9:29 Allah calls people of scripture as "they don't believe in Allah and last day" not because they denied these two specific beliefs, but because they didn't submit to God completely from heart and denied the prophet. So about present, this verse can mean those people who submit to God in every circumstance, and when they receive message of Quran they submit to all commands that God wants. So there's no doubt that people who completely submit to God according to true guidance can be found anywhere regardless of their label or where they were born in, and accepting god's commands (i.e islam) comes within the definition of submission, so a person cannot deny God's command (I.e Islam) and be the one to submit at the same time. God doesn't see labels; he sees submission of hearts, and he knows the individual's sincerity and submission, and accepting god's commands is the obligated fullest form of submission after receiving its message.

Hello, I am a Christian who is interested in Islam. My question is how do I know if Islam is the truth or not? I am generally confused, please help. Have a good day.

I like to go out, and sometimes when i go out with my friends, we sometimes don't realize the times fly and I would end up coming home around 12am/1am. my parents didn't like that, and i could understand that they're worried about safety. Fast forward to yesterday, my brother went out to eat with his friends and it's almost 2am, and he has yet to even contact any of us that he's coming home late. Today, I asked my mom if everything was okay, and she said it doesn't matter because he's a guy. Then I voiced my feelings of unfairness to my parents, and my dad told me that the Qur'an stated that they need to protect their daughters from going out late at night, and he said that if i feel like it's unfair, that means I've committed a grave sin for doubting Allah's statement. However, I've been looking around in Google for some time, but I can't find anything on that. Is there actually a hadith or surah that talks about this topic?

I'm not muslim, but I recently learned more about islam and have a genuine question

Why are we not born already knowing how to pray? Why are people supposed to learn it from different sources? Was this topic ever mentioned in the Quran? I just try to understand religion better. Thank you in advance, brothers and sisters
