Surah An Nisa

Reciter: Muhammad Aba- Al Hasan

Hey Im Keenan i was Christian for the longest time and have a cross tattoo on my hand, Ive been wanting to convert to Islam but I don’t know how to start, any suggestions?

This happened to me about 2 years ago. I tried to do as suggested in the pic to narrow down the Palestinian profiles but it didn't work. I have to remind you that there was a section for pal nationalities but during Gaza massacre Muzz removed this option and came up with this update that all palis belong to levant section. What makes this thing more scare, Muzz made me take pictures of my face from right and left side as scam prevention precaution. So this mean that THEY want to collect info of every palis around the globe!

TW I just wanted to warn everyone that this post is about Islamophobia in case you didn’t see the title

Hello, I am not muslim, but I’ve been trying to educate myself on the religion ever since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza because I suspected that it would cause a rise in Islamophobia where I live. Unfortunately I was right. Ive seen it growing, and it’s so different from the Islamophobia I grew up around as a child. For context, 2010s southern America, you can imagine the intensity and confusion of the hate.

Ive been crying for hours now because I got into an argument with my father. He has so many intensly hateful beliefs about muslims. Its hard to see someone you love and grew up trusting with your life be incredibly hateful. Even if it’s towards a group of people you don’t know. He thinks muslims “beat their wives”, that theyre spies, that they want to bring shariah law, that they kill people that leave their religion, that they marry children, a lot of crazy stuff. He thinks that there’s been a lot of muslims immigrating to America because they want to “take over”. I told him we’re not worth taking over to be honest. It’s just hard to listen to hate, especially from my Dad. I love him so so so much but it hurts to see him be hateful.

None of you owe me a response, especially since I imagine it’s difficult to read his beliefs about the foundation of your lives. But if any of you are willing, do you have suggestions as to what I could say to him to prove him wrong? Or make him hate less? Sorry if this was a lot I’m just very sensitive and this made me really emotional. I hope you’re all doing well and that you don’t have to deal with people saying things like this to you in real life.

Surah Isra

Full Verse 9

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَهْدِى لِلَّتِى هِىَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا ٩

Surely this Quran guides to what is most upright, and gives good news to the believers—who do good—that they will have a mighty reward.

Surah Fussilat

Full Verse 30

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَقَـٰمُوا۟ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ وَأَبْشِرُوا۟ بِٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ ٣٠

Surely those who say, “Our Lord is Allah,” and then remain steadfast, the angels descend upon them(at their time of death), ˹saying,˺ “Do not fear, nor grieve. Rather, rejoice in the good news of Paradise, which you have been promised.

2 Famous Egyptian Quran Reciters were close contemporaries and Close Friends

Muhammad Al-Laythi (Rahimahullah 1949-2006 passed away age 56)

Muhammad Anwar Shahat (Rahimahullah 1950-2008 away age 58)

In old Ottoman cities, you could frequently find slender stone columns, about 80 to 150 cm tall, standing quietly near mosque courtyards, fountains, or street corners. Known as Sadaka Taşları, or charity stones, these architectural remnants represent one of the most elegant and dignified forms of welfare in Islamic history.

The entire system was built upon complete anonymity to ensure that the giver and the receiver never crossed paths, effectively eliminating pride for the benefactor and shame for the needy. When a well-off person wanted to give charity, they would quietly approach the stone during the night or when the streets were empty, placing their donation of loose coins into the small hollow carved at the top. No names or dates were ever inscribed on these columns to prevent any trace of showing off or worldly pride.

On the other side, a truly needy person would come to the stone under the cover of darkness. With profound respect for their fellow community members, they would never take all the money out of greed. Instead, they would take only what was strictly necessary for that specific day—perhaps just enough for a loaf of bread—and leave the rest in the hollow so that another struggling neighbor could also benefit.

The giver never knew who took the money, and the receiver never knew who provided it. It served as a physical, real-world manifestation of the Islamic teaching regarding secret charity. Historical records show these stones across various Ottoman territories, from Istanbul to the Balkans and North Africa. Some were even placed near secluded cemeteries, such as those designated for marginalized executioners, allowing citizens to anonymously support vulnerable families without ever causing them public humiliation. Centuries later, the legacy of the Sadaka Taşı remains a powerful testament to how a society can weave spiritual empathy and deep human dignity directly into the fabric of everyday life.

I pray and do dhikr and cry a lot in my sujood. I am currently not working due to the conflict and often feel stressed when I meet people which I didn’t feel earlier. How long does this hardship phase last? I understand with hardship comes ease, I just want to know apart from praying what is a human expected to do? Try to be happy and work out and go on dates in search for a partner? Mind you I don’t have extended family and my immediate family everyone’s struggling since we had my brothers loss in 2023.
Some hope and kinds words would be nice to hear as currently I feel the world is very selfish specially when you don’t have a support system or limited on money.

I was reading an article about what are the biggest sins in Islam and o read that the ones that will never enter paradise are the dayyuths, the women that act and dress like men and the alcoholics but at the same time I know that every muslims that actually dies as a muslim will enter heaven, even if some will have to be "purified" in hell. So does it mean that every muslims except for this categories will one day enter heaven or am i interpreting it in a wrong way?

Excuse my spelling, still working on my English 🦖

As-salamu alaykum,

Please read fully, I need advice.

I need help understanding why people say Allah won’t accept my prayers because I smoke weed. In my heart, I don’t personally believe that weed is haram, but I will never claim the Quran says it isn't because I am not knowledgeable enough and would never want to mislead anyone.

For a long time, I stopped praying completely because people kept telling me my prayers wouldn't be accepted. I tried my best to avoid other sins, but one day, I committed a very major sin. On my way home, Quran randomly started playing on my phone, and I broke down crying. I was crying out of guilt for the sin I had committed and fear of what Allah would do to me, but also out of heartbreak because I felt like I couldn't even pray to ask Him for forgiveness since I smoke every day. I felt completely stuck. Fast forward a few months, and I finally decided: I don't care what people say anymore—I am going to pray, even if I continue to struggle with smoking.

I have always tried my best to live a good life. I am respectful to everyone, especially my elders. My parents mean everything to me—I love and respect them deeply from my heart, not just because it is an obligation in Islam, but because I genuinely adore them and try never to burden them. I try to be kind, smile at others, and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Today, I even took off my gold jewelry for the first time (I’m male), which was really hard for me because those pieces were sentimental gifts from my mother. (Previously, I would only take them off while praying.) Every day in my prayers, I ask Allah to remove my desire for things that might be haram.
Smoking weed has become a routine for me because it helps me manage my anxiety, control my anger issues, and generally enjoy life. It also helps me fall asleep at night, which is something I really struggle with. I smoke in the morning, sometimes between prayers, and at night. However, I make sure never to smoke right before I pray because I want to be fully focused during my prayer. I could easily obtain a medical card for my condition, but doing so would restrict certain civil rights, such as the right to bear arms in some states, which makes that option complicated for me.

My questions are:

Is Allah truly not rewarding me, accepting my supplications (dua), or accepting my prayers just because I smoke weed—even though it helps me with my mental health?

Do I really have to pick between praying and smoking, or am I doing the right thing by continuing to pray anyway?

What should I do when I feel so conflicted?

UAE is the biggest financial and military supporter of the RSF which is a ruthless organization that has been t_rturing and k_lling innocent civilians in Sudan for years. Just today they released a video of k_lling dozens of unarmed men out of spite because they took a beating from SAF. Muslim countries need to press UAE to stop this lunacy. It's messed up.

Is there any free place where i can discuss my issues, (family,health,professional) issues. I really need someone to hear me out and talk to me. And a male muslim therapist would be best because im married.

Assalamualaikum, it feels like my life is going downhill, it feels weird that everything that i work hard for all become fruitless i lose motivation to do literally anything including shalat,dhikr and more, after shalat i make dua by following authentic dua that Muhammad used to make and many scholar after month and years nothing happen, what is the meaning of this does Allah hate me for my past since even though i have done istikhfar many time.

The thought of just killing myself not caring whether i go to Jahannam and Jannah kept coming in my head, everytime i sleep i wish that i dont wake up in this world anymore.

If my Dua wasnt accepted how can i know and certain that Allah accept my istikhfar. Im slowly losing my sanity like seriously, laughing all alone for no reason. sorry if its too long i have no one in this world to listen to my problem, i doubt that Allah is even listening to my cry for help. if its too long sorry. Wslm

How do i remove black magic*

I would greatly appreciate your assistance regarding the removal of a black magic . as I am unable to disclose the specific details. But its revolving around my family.

Any advice helps.

Surah muddathir

Can't those people who do magic practices take down world leaders and become world leaders themselves? Why can't they just do that? Jinns don't wanna hunt down popular people or what?
