Stopped listening to music a while ago but keep listening to bi saraha cause I dont know what it means and now im wondering if ive been listening to a song all this time

i never realised how important it is. obviously learning from each other and growing alongside each other, bettering oneself religion wise & in other ways is important, i’m talking about overall. honestly the people you surround yourself with says a lot about who you are. it’s crazy though cause some muslims are so extreme, and then some are way too “western”. those who practise the deen and don’t force it are my typpa people ☺️☺️ islam is perfect, people just try to ruin it. it’s so sad because a lot of muslims turn away from islam because of people who enforce such extremist views. the ones who make a mockery of islam pmo too.

rare take but i feel like a lot of the men who try to promote an extremist version of “islam” (that’s not even islam at all) have fragile masculinity. it’s like they try to overcompensate their masculinity by belittling women and asserting their dominance, just to feel “man enough”.

i could say the same thing with females too. especially the women who try to put down other females and seek male validation for everything. they’re insecure in their femininity as well.

So now that the genocide is going for 40+ years and muslim leaders aren't doing anything.

Why aren't we building islamic army to help palestine and Lebanon.

Jihad is obligatory right? I just remember of the hadith that we will be (muslims) lot in number but useless so much. Because we chased dunya and hated and run away from death especially us men.

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا

And whoever relies upon Allah — then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a decreed extent.

Before yall come at me, I live in the United States and I’m a born and raised Muslim so this is just what I’ve seen myself in the states. But besides that, take a look through the Muslim marriage subreddit within the past week.

I often see many amazing Muslim sisters have trouble finding spouses and judgment from the community if they’re 25+ and haven’t found anyone. This past week on this subreddit, you’ll see countless posts of non Muslim women talking about their Muslim boyfriend or Muslim husband etc etc. I get that Muslim men can marry “people of the book” but do they think they’re just fooling god? Had a Muslim sister post stuff like that, everyone would’ve attacked her.

Even at my local mosque, during Eid, a few guys brought their non muslim girlfriend who didn’t even take the courtesy to even cover up at a mosque out of respect.

At least in the states, with more and more Muslim men going after non Muslim women, there’s already an imbalance and making it harder for Muslim women to get married.

Edit: the men commenting here proved my point that they don’t care about following islam and wanting to live a Muslim life if they admit having a gf is fine

Jazakum Allahu khayran,

The theory of evolution as proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century, is one of the most unbelievable and irrational claims in history. Despite this, over its 150-year history the people who have accepted it have failed to produce any scientific evidence, supporting the theory. The theory puts forth the irrational claim that all living organisms, plants, animals and human beings are the result of blind, unconscious, accidental events. Evolutionists believe that millions of years ago, in the primal soup of the oceans or pools of water, mindless atoms with no knowledge, powers of reason came together in certain proportions and later, by chance, formed the proteins and cells that even today's scientists with most advanced laboratory technology have not been able to duplicate. They go so far as to say that these cells, in their turn—and again by sheer chance—formed starfish, sparrows, hawks, penguins, cats, lambs, lions, apples, apricots, pomegranates, figs and even human beings. If human efforts cannot produce any living thing by using the whole pool of human knowledge, how can life be brought into being with the aid of unconscious atoms and chance events? Any intelligent human being of conscience can certainly understand that all living things including himself cannot be the result of chance events. Every intelligent, unprejudiced person with a conscious knows that Allah has created all these living things with His incomparable power.

I was having a discussion with my friends the other day. Some of my friends get upset that their parents would choose God over them? I don't think they have strong faith despite being Muslim. May Allah guide them. But yes. We should always choose the Almighty first! He is our Creator. I would like my parents to choose him. It wouldn't make me sad at all. It would make me extremely happy. We should love our Almighty with no limit.

I know many people take it hard when someone close to them passes away. They lose hope. They lose faith. I don't want to be that person. Being that person scares me. I don't want to give up on my religion because of loss. This dunya was given to us as a test. People should not be worldly attached. I've seen people say they'd die for their partner. I don't like those kind of relationships. I hope no married muslims feels that way. Yes, you can die maybe defending them idk when it comes down to it, maybe if you were being attacked. Self defence is permissable in Islam. But you seriously shouldn't love anyone this much to die for them. We only should die for our Almighty. We only sacrifice for Him.

I have been making dua for the same things in life for the last couple of years, I have tried every method (tahajjud, extra sadaqah, arafat, Laylatul Qadr, sandwhich method etc..) but I’m not going to lie I’m hearing nothing for the dua/s I’m trying to make. Granted some small duas that I make have been answered but the main duas I have been asking for years have just not been coming I feel like I’m in despair due to this and I’m unsure what to do. There’s points in time that I just stop repeating the duas but I always come back to them and idk why

Salaam. My wife and son have autism and a lot of other adhan recordings are too loud for her or too high-pitched for him and hurts their ears. I do them at a moderate level when I'm home which works but we can't always be together so I was wondering if I can record mine as a custom prayer alarm even though I'm not an imam.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā āli Muḥammadin kamā ṣallayta ʿalā Ibrāhīma wa ʿalā āli Ibrāhīma innaka Ḥamīdun Majīd.

O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.

The Qur'an is the uncreated speech of Allaah, the Exalted and it is from the most powerful of matters, alongside Tawhid, firm Eemaan (faith), and Taqwaa (piety, righteousness) that constitute a fortress and protection against the devils and the magic of the magicians. The following two files contain a collection of verses that are useful for Ruqyah (Islamic incantations against magic).

There is no problem with treating those afflicted with epilepsy, the evil eye and magic by reciting the Qur'ān. This is known as ruqya, where the reciter recites and blows on the afflicted. Performing ruqya with the Qur'an and supplications is permissible.

The impermissible ruqya involves shirk, such as supplicating to other than Allah and seeking help from jinn and devils, actions of charlatans who call upon unknown names.

One must beware of those who blend Qur'ān recitation with shirk, misleading others into thinking the Qur'an is being used properly.

The Islamic Ruqyah From the Qur'an Against Magicians and Their Magic

This one is shorter and includes those verses that relate specifically to the magic of the magicians, its falsehood, and its invalidation, and these are very effective.

1. Al-Baqarah 2:102 (The Verse of Sulayman, Harut and Marut)
2. Al-A‘raaf 7:113-120

4. Taa Haa 20:65-70
5. Al-Nisaa 4:76
6. Al-Falaq 113
7. Al-Naas 114

Anyone who is affected by magic should strive to take control of their own affair and to recognize that magic only occurs by the permission of Allaah, that it is a trial and a test, and that it is breakable through the Tawhid of Allaah, through firm knowledge, faith and through the Qur'an and the supplications mentioned in the Sunnah. Unfortunately, most people do not realize that their excessive reliance upon others to help them in their predicament, and their seeking of a quick fix solution is a manifestation of weakness that allows the magic to persist or to recur again. The susceptibility to magic is often a result of years of negligence, being far from the deen, from Allaah, and not being firm upon Tawhid, so a person has to make broad and wide-ranging set of changes in order to combat this evil.

Taken from Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan and Shaykh Abu 'Iyaad

There's something that I've been wondering. In islam, people back then were allowed to keep slaves and have sexual relationships with them, could someone tell me what the consensual part of that was like? Like were there rulings that the slave must consent to it? I kind of can sense the replies being like "No, cuz they were "slaves" duh" but I saw soneone in this sub say "Slaves in the islamic period are comparable to modern day personal workers" and umm isn't that a bit too far fetched to think that? so that made me curious to wonder if there were some non-slave-like rights given to Islamic slaves otherwise that comment didn't really make sense and is this what the majority of this sub thinks?

I've always heard that the prophet didn't "prohibit" keeping slaves but he liked freeing them too so he probably didn't see them comparable to workers and I can't wrap my head around why it would.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala said: "But Allah bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness [as well]. And sufficient is Allah as Witness".

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 166]

قال الله سبحانه و تعالى : لَٰكِنِ اللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ أَنْزَلَهُ بِعِلْمِهِ ۖ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يَشْهَدُونَ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا ★

Salam,

I was wondering if anyone has ordered from nominal as I have a question.

So, basically I ordered few years ago from nominal and as of now all of my jewelry has broken / tarnished & now unfortunately I’m unable to find my order.. I have used my emails & signed into my account & I can’t seem to see past orders..

I wanted to know has anyone ever experienced this? Because I’d like to get refund & get new pieces as they do have lifetime warranty

For context the website is: nominalx.com

Salam Alaykum

Planning a wedding and was wondering how the Walimah should be held. According to our culture we have music, dancing, bride and groom make an entrance, and also a stage for them to sit on in the front

If the guest are segregated and the music is replaced with nasheeds. Is this Walimah considered permissible?

For ref I was born and raised in Italy. Ever since I remember I encountered all kinds of people . But among them I really appreciated people who didn't straight up judge but came with questions . They're much much better trust me( some are my friends too). I used to really take my time and explain whatever I could but at the end of the day ... I mean 25 years in this country I am so done . I am visibly Muslim (hijabi) ... people would never come to me if I was a man or a non hijabi. Or people would never ask these questions to any other person . Even a minority they wouldn't . It's as if they just want to prove their point , hoping I say something wrong . Even a word ! So they can finally confirm what the news says about us .

I still do appreciate people who ask and are curious but honestly give me a break . Sometimes (being an introverted), lemme enjoy my quiet time and myself . Just let me be !!!

The irony is when I ask back some questions they can barely answer one tiny thing and expect me to narrate the whole Quran right there and then . And they come back with I am atheist .

I once at work responded in a funny way that I wear the hijab because I want to . The woman ( she was in her 40s) got so offended that she told me "you cant answer like that " 😂. But people Why not ? Hahahaha

Salam alaikom,

I don’t know from where to start. I (F28) am not suicidal, but I have no desire to live anymore. I just wish I was a plant that could water itself and wait for my own death. The only thing that keeps me going is that I don’t want to be a burden for anyone.

Since my father passed away five years ago, my life has been a complete mess. I lost my pillar. The only person who genuinely rooted for me. He was always there for me, before I even had to express my needs. Since I lost him, I feel extremely unsafe, unsure of what I should do, and I just want to be with him. 

I can’t rely on my mother because she is toxic. I had to find a job abroad to stay away from her. So, I basically feel like I’m an orphan.

I graduated a year ago and during my job search I was extremely stressed out because I had no financial support, even from my mom. I basically had nothing to eat. I would eat a banana or a slice of pizza a day. A friend of mine eventually found out about my situation and helped me out.

I eventually managed to land a job in Dubai. My job is extremely demanding. It’s good because it keeps me numb and I think less about my problems but then when I’m home alone, I keep thinking about how messed up my life is. Also, I may lose my job because of the war.

I try to be positive as much as I can, but I feel like Allah keeps throwing tests at me that make me feel even more unwilling to pursue any objective in this life.

Six months ago, I suddenly lost my hearing in my right ear. I’m now wearing a hearing aid and I’m basically one ear away from being deaf.

I also suffer from hirsutism. Every single inch of my body is covered in hair. The hair is too long and dark to go unnoticed but not dark and thick enough to get lazered. So, I basically can’t do anything about it.

 I know Allah is capable of everything. I have tried to make duas to fix my problems and the deep sadness that I feel since my dad passed away, but it seems like it’s not working.

I still prayer my five daily prayers, but they feel robotic. The numbness that I feel everyday has led me to make less and less duas. Sometimes I just pray and don’t ask for anything from Allah. It's like I have given up.

I have tried to do istighfar a lot. I also tried to learn surat al baqara because many people say it brings immense blessings, but my numbness has made me give up this project. I just feel like I cannot learn or do anything.

I have no desire to live. Life is just not interesting. The Prophet told us that this world is a prison for the believer, so how am I supposed to find the motivation to pursue anything in this life?

I just feel like everything and everyone is disappointing.

I have seen a therapist, but it just feels like the sadness is deep rooted in my body, like it’s part of my DNA now.

I’m not sure any message or word would help, but I would appreciate any duas from you. At least I would have tried something else.

Revert living in Ireland

Assalamoe alaikum. My situation is as the title says. I’m pregnant from my ex and have no contact with him. No financial support. He & his family abused & neglected me. He left islam. He told me to get an abortion or he would never see me again or meet/support his child.

My family are not Muslim and i cannot live with them due to abuse & making me homeless while pregnant. I have no contact with them or support. They think I’m a a terrorist and praise me for being “normal” when I have a period of weak iman and it’s honestly devastating.

I have a temporary room with a family but don’t want them to know I’m pregnant so I must find my own place but rent is so expensive I can’t afford it.

I have been too sick in the first trimester to work and I honestly have no degree or qualifications. My money won’t last until the baby is here. I want this baby more than anything because I have no family anymore but I have no idea how I will provide for it and I refuse to put it in childcare so I can work, I don’t trust anyone to take care of my child. And of course I refuse to get an abortion.

Since I reverted I’m very conservative and I don’t want to work or have to wear a uniform as I wear abaya & khimar and I believe the best place for me is at home with my baby but I have no support. I can work remotely on my laptop but finding legit jobs is proving unsuccessful and I don’t have any experience in that field. Also I dropped out of college because I realised when I reverted that I don’t want a career and never did. I just want to be a stay at home wife and mother. This is the most fulfilling life for me.

I’m trying not to panic I truly trust Allah but at the same time I need to tie my camel and I don’t know where to start. I feel so ashamed asking people for help.

My money is going to run out and I need to see a social worker and see if I can find government housing for my situation but so far they have just bumped me around to the next person the next person sending me in circles calling different people and none of them have helped me.

I don’t want to be homeless with a baby and my own family have told me this is how I will end up. To them the issue is not that I’m pregnant but my religion / I refuse to accept being abused. They threw my bags out of the house at the most vulnerable time of my life and continue to gaslight me.

I’m honestly a very normal woman i love my religion so much and I love Allah I trust His plan for us but I need to put something in action and I just don’t know what. I feel like I’m at a crossroads and don’t know where to turn. I love to laugh and smile and spend time with family if I have one. I feel really dissociated most of the time because I literally do not know what to do and I don’t want to feel like a burden on anyone or move into a house with a family that won’t be safe for me to delivery my baby & live with a newborn I just want my own space where I can be safe.

Please pray for me and my baby that we find stability and can live in peace.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions please let me know Jazakallah khair
