​

For some reason , tiktok has been pushing the @maybebasedbengali content on my feed despite me clicking not interested on his earlier videos that had some very questionable takes.

What suprised me was his descent into red pilled lookism content.it is troubling watching him rate couples on whether they looksmatch or not, or even asking people to rate his looks when his previous content used to be dawah focused from what I remember.

I think some men online do have very misogynistic views online and when women reject them for it, they often blame their "looks" for it. I believe it isa dangerous red pilled road to go down on.

What is your guys opinion on looksmaxing trend among men?

And if you also follow @maybebasedbengali what do you think about the overall direction of his and other similar male content creators content .

Is it haram to dress up for Halloween but not celebrate? Like I'll genuinely just like cosplay for myself and do tiktoks only for me to see i won't actually promote nor celebrate the holiday i just find the idea of being creative with ur makeup kind off fun

I'm in France, and it's expensive compared to other countries like the USA. Can I use a VPN to get it cheaper, or is that haram?

Hey everyone! I’m a 30 year old Muslim guy based in the UK, looking to meet and connect with other Muslim men around a similar age.

Would be great to make some genuine friendships, have a chat, grab food/coffee, go out for activities, or just have a group of people to hang out with and enjoy good conversations.

Whether you’re also looking to expand your friendship circle or just fancy meeting some new people, feel free to drop me a message. If enough interest would be good to make a WhatsApp chat with anyone interested.

I was religious growing up but slowly drifted further and further. For reference, now I pray one time a day if at all.

Today I had a brief moment of excitement about Jannah, but then it hit me that I've committed grave sins and am destined for hell. I know Allah can forgive all sins, but the sins I've committed are a betrayal to someone else. I cannot tell this person because it will break them, it's incredibly cruel what I did and they will never forgive me. It's something I have to take to the grave and then face my punishment. I'm trying to not say the sin, to try to conceal it and once the people who read what I've done, they'd wish hell on me.

The worst part is that I have remorse for betraying this person but I don't have remorse for committing the sin. I actually really want to commit the sin again but circumstances have made it difficult.

I'll take any words you have.

It scares me to death that extreme torment is coming, it doesn't feel real now but as soon as I die, I will pay my price for worldly pleasures.

Duniya mein kisi ke paas bhi power, hukumat, authority, maal, izzat ya asar-o-rasookh apni zaati milkiyat mein nahi. Jo kuch kisi ko mila hai, Allah hi ke ikhtiyar aur mashiyyat se mila hai.

Allah farmata hai:
“Tu jis ko chahta hai hukumat deta hai aur jis se chahta hai hukumat cheen leta hai. Tu jis ko chahta hai izzat deta hai aur jis ko chahta hai zillat deta hai. Saari bhalai Tere hi haath mein hai. Beshak Tu har cheez par Qadir hai.” ( Sura Aal e Imran: Ayah 26)

Is liye duniya ki koi hukumat Allah ke ikhtiyar se bahar nahi.

Aaj koi hukmaran hai, kal nahi.

Aaj koi saltanat taqatwar hai, kal kamzor ho sakti hai.

Aaj koi qaum buland hai, kal uski jagah doosri qaum aa sakti hai.

Power ka milna bhi Allah ki taraf se hai aur power ka chhin jaana bhi Allah ke ikhtiyar mein hai.

Lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ke jis ko Allah ne hukumat di hai woh zaroor Allah ka pasandeeda hai. Hukumat kabhi ne’mat hoti hai, kabhi imtihan, aur kabhi kisi ke liye mohlat ya azmaish. Allah hi sab se behtar jaanta hai ke kis shakhs ya qaum ke saath kya hikmat hai.

Isi tarah izzat aur zillat bhi Allah ke haath mein hain.

Kabhi Allah kisi momin ko duniya mein tangi, kamzori, bimari, maal ki kami, job ka masla, business ka nuqsan, ghar ke masail ya kisi aur mushkil ke zariye azmata hai. Aur kabhi koi mushkil insaan ke apne gunahon ka nateeja ya tanbeeh bhi ho sakti hai.

Lekin hum kisi specific mushkil ko yaqini taur par Allah ki saza nahi keh sakte, kyun ke uski poori hikmat aur haqeeqat Allah hi jaanta hai.

Momin ka kaam yeh hai ke mushkil ke waqt mayoos na ho. Woh Allah par bharosa kare aur apne aap se pooche:

“Allah mujhe is haal mein kya sikha raha hai? Kya mujhe apni zindagi mein koi ghalat kaam chhorna hai? Kya mujhe Allah ki taraf wapas aana hai? Kya meri ibadat, mere aqeede, mere maamlaat aur mere akhlaq mein koi kami hai?”

Agar hum Allah ke faisle ko samajh na bhi saken, tab bhi hum yeh jaante hain ke Allah be-hikmat faisla nahi karta.

Usay hamara maazi maloom hai.

Usay hamara haal maloom hai.

Usay hamara mustaqbil maloom hai.

Usay hamare zahir ka bhi ilm hai aur hamare dilon ka bhi.

Hum sirf aaj dekhte hain.

Allah poori tasveer dekhta hai.

Is liye momin ka kaam Allah ke faisle ke saamne sabr, tawakkul aur rujoo ilallah hai, yaani Allah ki taraf lautna.
Agar mujhe koi health ka masla diya gaya hai, mujhe Allah se shifa maangni hai aur halal ilaaj karwana hai.

Agar job ya business mein mushkil hai, mujhe Allah par bharosa karte hue halal asbaab ikhtiyar karne hain aur apne maal aur kamai ko check karna hai.

Agar ghar mein biwi-bachon ke saath masail hain, mujhe apne rawaiye, insaf, huqooq aur zimmedariyon ko dekhna hai.

Agar zindagi mein koi aur imtihan hai, mujhe Allah se door hone ke bajaye Allah ki taraf aur qareeb hona hai.
Mera kaam yeh nahi ke main Allah ke faisle par Allah se shikwa karte hue toot jaaun.

Mera kaam yeh hai:

“Ya Allah, mujhe nahi pata is imtihan mein Teri kya hikmat hai, lekin mujhe yaqeen hai ke Tu jaanta hai. Mujhe is imtihan mein sahi rawayya ikhtiyar karne ki taufeeq de aur mujhe Apni taraf aur qareeb kar.”

Aur agar hum apni zindagi mein Allah ki na-farmani kar rahe hain, to humein sirf duniya ki mushkil door hone ki dua nahi karni chahiye.

Humein taubah bhi karni chahiye.

Zina chhorna hai.

Sood se bachna hai.

Jhoot chhorna hai.

Cheating chhorni hai.

Wada khilafi chhorni hai.

Maa-baap ki na-farmani se bachna hai.

Haram kamai se bachna hai.

Zulm se bachna hai.

Apne huqooq aur doosron ke huqooq ada karne hain.

Aur Allah ke saath apna aqeedah durust karna hai.

Shirk se bachna hai aur ibadat sirf Allah ke liye karni hai.

Qur’an ko sirf padhna nahi, samajhna aur us par amal karna hai.

Har ayat ko apni zindagi par apply karna hai:

“Allah mujhe is ayat ke zariye kya sikha raha hai?”

Aur jab hum Allah ki taraf sachchi tawbah aur ita’at ke saath qadam barhate hain, to humein Allah ki madad se umeed rakhni chahiye.

Lekin yahan bhi humein Qur’an ka balance yaad rakhna hai:
Muslimon ki duniyaavi kamzori ko sirf doosron ki sazish keh dena Qur’anic approach nahi.

Qur’an humein apne aamaal ka muhasabah bhi sikhata hai.
Allah farmata hai:

“Allah kisi qaum ki haalat nahi badalta jab tak woh khud apni haalat ko na badlein.”
— Surah al-Ra’d 13:11

Is liye agar hum chahte hain ke Allah hamari haalat badle, to humein apni zindagi badalni hogi.

Aqeedah durust karna hoga.

Ibadat durust karni hogi.

Muamlaat durust karne honge.

Akhlaq durust karne honge.

Haram se bachna hoga.

Taubah karni hogi.

Ek doosre par zulm aur dhoka chhorna hoga.

Aur Allah aur uske Rasool ﷺ ki ita’at ki taraf lautna hoga.

Hum ita’at ke paband hain; nateeja Allah ke ikhtiyar mein hai.

Bani Isra’il ki misaal humein yeh batati hai ke duniya ki sab se badi taqat bhi Allah ke saamne kuch nahi.

Fir’awn ke paas hukumat thi, lashkar tha aur zulm ki taqat thi. Woh Bani Isra’il ke beton ko qatl karta aur unki aurton ko zinda chhorta tha. Lekin jab Allah ka faisla aaya, to Fir’awn ki tamam taqat usay Allah ke faisle se na bacha saki.

Is liye power ka hona bhi imtihan hai aur power ka na hona bhi imtihan hai.

Hukumat milna imtihan hai:

“Main Allah ki di hui power ka kya karunga?”

Aur hukumat na milna bhi imtihan hai:

“Main kamzori ke waqt Allah par kitna bharosa rakhunga?”
Duniya ki izzat milna imtihan hai.

Duniya ki zillat ya mushkil bhi imtihan ho sakti hai.

Aur dono surat mein momin ka rasta Allah ki taraf hi hai.

Jo kuch aasmanon aur zameen mein hai sab Allah ka hai.

Aur jab sab kuch Allah ka hai, to mera maal bhi uska hai, meri sehat bhi uski amanat hai, meri family bhi uski amanat hai, meri job bhi uski ata hai, meri power bhi uski ata hai aur meri zindagi bhi usi ki di hui hai.

Is liye mujhe apni zindagi Allah ki marzi ke mutabiq guzarna hai.

Allah hi Maalik hai.

Allah hi Qadir hai.

Allah hi izzat dene wala hai.

Allah hi zillat se bachane wala hai.

Allah hi hukumat dene wala hai.

Allah hi hukumat cheenne wala hai.

Aur aakhir mein hum sab ko usi ki taraf laut kar jaana hai.
Mera kaam Allah ki ita’at hai.

Nateeja Allah ke haath mein hai.

Hello everyone a few years ago someone here on reddit I forgot which subreddit, posted a copy of the Quran with English translation and transliteration with the meaning of each ayah.

Does anyone know please tell me.

As salamu alaykum.

My main motivation is so that I can understand Quran in it's purest form. But on top of trying to gain knowledge in Islam and building my career, it just really seems like a reallyyyy difficult task.

Not to mention on the worldly side of things since I'm not an Arab, learning Arabic will likely not really help me at all (outside of understanding Islam) because there is no way a non arab can really make a career long term in the Arab world.

The way I see it the only benefit for me is understanding Islam better, but it's still hard in a world where I have to constantly be hustling and gaining knowledge (both Islamic and careerwise) and helping out the community.

Idk, thoughts? Help push me forward pls. Or help me prioritize my thoughts I guess.

Jazakallahu khayr for sincere answers.

Everytime I really really focus on my Salah Subhanallah I feel like so much peace and my soul feels at so much rest.

I’m a revert so I’m fairly new to praying in the grand scheme of things but I find when I really take my time and have sabr during the prayer and stop worrying about everything going on in the world you feel like the is beautiful peace.

Does anybody else feel this as well?

Hope everyone is doing well as well inshallah and may Allah SWT help all of you Ameen

Please make sincere dua that Allah eases my heart, protects me and my loved ones from all harm, forgives my sins, and grants me a good outcome and relief. May Allah accept your dua for me and reward you for making it. Ameen 🤍

I’ve noticed that so many people carry an incredible amount of sadness, despair, anxiety, overthinking, and heaviness. Of course, mental health conditions are real, and sometimes people genuinely need therapy, medication, or professional help. I’m not trying to reduce depression or mental illness to “you just need more faith.”

But I’ve also learned that for many people, there can be a spiritual component to that heaviness that we don’t talk about enough.One thing I’ve personally seen make a huge difference for people is istighfar.

I’ve had multiple friends who were going through periods of depression, sadness, or constant waswas, and they started making istighfar consistently. And subhanAllah, they would tell me things like, “I don’t know how I lived my whole life without doing this.”
Not because saying Astaghfirullah is some magic formula that makes every problem disappear, but because you are constantly turning your heart back toward Allah.
Try it.

Start with 100 a day. Then 500. Then 1,000. Some people make tens of thousands of dhikr throughout the day. You can do it while walking, driving, working, cooking, etc. You don’t necessarily have to stop everything you’re doing. You’re just keeping your tongue and heart connected to Allah.

And Allah literally tells us in Surah Nuh:
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا ۝ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا ۝ وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
“I said, ‘Ask your Lord for forgiveness—He is truly Most Forgiving. He will shower you with abundant rain, give you increase in wealth and children, and grant you gardens and rivers.’”
— Qur’an 71:10–12

When I started working I was extremely anxious especially in a healthcare setting and this made my anxiety disappear Subhanallah it was almost instant. May Allah make it easy for all of you guys. Allah is Al-Lateef (the most Subtle/Gentle) and Al-Wadud (the most Loving) he won’t watch you try and walk towards him and turn away from you. Inshallah khair it will work out in your favor, ALWAYS, even when to you it doesn’t seem that way❤️

Jazakallah khair

Salam all,

I been having some health issues some are new and some back some of which are serious.

Im just lost and feel hopeless anyone been through something similar. I feel like life has been snatched before even living...i hope im not being ungrateful.

Salam everyone!

I have a question. I failed an important law exam even tho i made dua about it a lot and studied so much. To make it even worse, i had 9/20 and 10/20 is a pass.

How can i make this entire situation positive? Whats my lesson here?

Whenever I listen tp Quraan and close my eyes , two vague faces appear im the darkness. I can’t distinguish who they are but I feel scared and my pupils move a lot. Also my forearms have this magnetic field moving in waves. I fel this heat around my neck . One of my legs starts to hurt.
I have been drinking olive oil and honey and black seed oil and ajwa dates and all these prophetic cures. Threw up some unusual yellow crumbly stuff and some dark brown slimy strings. Felt better for a few days and then again started feeling terrible.
I have also used recited olive oil on my body and whenever I used to order jinns inside my body to leave , they wpuld strike my right back musles under ribs.
Anyone ever experienced sth similar?

Salaams all, not sure if this allowed but I’m 28M looking to make friends - have moved cities twice in 2 years so quite in the position where I don’t know anyone around me so hopefully trying to engage with others and make some friends :)

I’m into gaming, hiking, cycling, sports etc happy to have a convo with anyone :)
