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.

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?

Anyone eat chipotle? If so do you worry that there might be pork cross contamination?

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.

Salam. I f(24) recently stopped talking to a guy I really liked and im having trouble understanding the way things ended. I met him off muzz in April, we had a really good connection, like our first call was 5+ hours and genuinely it was the best connection ive had. we talked for a week and he said something insensitive to me and he immeditately regretted it and kept apologizng and sent a bunch of sincere messages to me asking to contiune talking but i overall decided i just didnt feel respected and left it alone and wished him the best. he asked 4 times to keep talking

in june I kept thinking about him and I felt like maybe I was too quick to end things and I geniunely wanted to give things a fair shot so I texted him and he apologized again and told me he was thinking about reaching out again and that he told his older sister (his older siblibgs are alot older married and have kids) about us talking again . i didnt even know that he told his sister the first time like we only talked for a week lol and he also told me hes willing to tell his parents about me as soon as he gets a job. so we start talking again but hes really busy because his family is visiting and we talk for a few weeks and agree to meet but he doesnt confirm with me and just acts like we didnt have the plan day of. he apologizes and tells me hes not able to talk to me the way he wants to since hes overwhelmed with his family and the stress of finding a job. we dont get to call since his family is visiting, he responds really late and i just feel like hes so unintrested idk. but everytime i try to ghost him or end things he would apologize and ask for another chance or time and say he stressed abou finding a job - i tried to end things with him 3 times. i decide to just wait till his family leaves, i told him enjoy your time w ur family text me when they leave no worries. he doenst text me for 9 days lol and then when they leave i can geniunely tell hes trying because hes complementing me and asking me about myself but like i dont know at the same time he isnt. i told him i miss calling him and he doesnt call me once and like i dont know he just seems so diffrent from april. i dont wanna argue w him because i already tried to end things multiple times its just the late replies or the dry replies just turned me off so bad and i didnt give it alot of time after his parents i prob gave it 5 days but my last straw was him not replying for a whole day after his parents left. i decided to end things because i felt so unwanted and i also did it in a way where i was very firm and didnt say why because i dont want him to think i need him to fix things like im geniunely emotinally checked out. like in april he was doing his finals working and doing an internship and he made time to call me and seem interested in me this time around he seemed so weird idk

my problem is i need to understand everything lol. i dont understand how this man told his family about me and then forgets a first date. i know he was really stressed about fining a job because before he even graduated in april he was telling me how stressed he was and it was july when we were talking and i know he feels pressure from his family because his older siblings are very successful in their careers. i honestly just convinced myself this man lied about telling his family and didnt care about me but his older brother requested me on instagram two weeks ago. it was probably an accident but it just feels like unwanted information because now i feel like i was too quick to end things lol. his parents dont live here and he told me when when he gets a job his older brother would talk to my dad for my hand. i didnt even know his brother knew about me.

he hasnt been active on the apps since april and like i dont know was i being too harsh in ending things? i know hes soo annoyed with me for constantly ending things but i just kept feeling like he wasnt intrested and i dont know. is it possible that the job situation was affecting the way he was pursing me? i know hes a very smart guy and he works really hard (computer engineer) and all his classmates have jobs now so maybe that was affecting him i dont know. i guess im wondering if its possible hell come back once he gets a job? i know i ended things multiple times but i went back in june and i also try to work through things with him multipe times and he know he was in the wrong for these things .

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.

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 :)

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?

Assalam-o-alaikum dear brothers and sisters. Can you tell me why are there so many Pakistani subreddits so obsessed with religion even ones that don't look like they are political subreddits? I know our country have so many problems like cousin marriage, racial superiority complex, child abuse etc but why are so many Pakistani redditors so obsessed with blaming Islam for all the problems caused in this country?

May Allah save our misguided ummah, Ameen.

Assalamu Alaikum,

My name is Eesa, and I am a Master's student in Chiropractic at McTimoney College of Chiropractic. I am conducting a research study to explore how the daily practice of sujood (prostration during Salah) is associated with joint and muscle health and everyday stress levels.

I am inviting Muslim adults aged 18–60 who pray regularly to complete a completely anonymous online survey. It takes about 5–7 minutes and involves questions about your prayer habits, physical comfort, and general stress over the past month.

Your participation will help healthcare professionals understand the potential musculoskeletal and stress‑reducing associations of sujood, leading to better, more culturally aware care for our community.

Link to survey: https://forms.gle/6mgr2wy2WJ2Uphhg9

Your responses are fully anonymous, and no personal data is collected.

Jazakallah khair for considering this.

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.

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 .

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

Mine was kinda random but I just felt tired and didn’t wanna do my online math class and then like 10 minutes later she texted me that she couldn’t do the lesson lol.

Unfortunately the dua i really want accepted about my constant overthinking is yet to be accepted and it’s been so long and I’m getting hopeless but I’m trying to hold on because Allah can do anything.

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

Assalamu alaykum,

I would like to know if the tawarruk position (sitting on the left thigh/buttock with both feet emerging from the right side) is obligatory for women in the Hanafi madhhab, or is it permissible to use any other recognized sitting posture?
Additionally, does the prayer remain valid if a woman uses a different position?
Barakallahu feekum for your response.

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 🤍
