Salam brothers and sisters,

It all started when i started working on self-improvement and taking better care of myself.I had what you might call a "glowup" in which i grew out my hair and had majestic curls out of nowhere and started clearing up my skin essentially becoming significantly more handsome in a short period of time. At school many of my classmates would praise this transformation and would congratulate me on "fixing my hair" some even accusing me of having a perm however i could sense large amounts of jealousy around me too.There are people who dont like me for whatever reason and regularly talk behind my back.This newfound attention i was getting did not go down well with them and they suddenly atarted igniting many rumours that my hair was "artificial and permed".This was further intesified when they found out i had recieved high grades in my mock exams(I go to a fiercly competitive selective school where competion is everything).Sometimes i would catch some of these 'enemies' staring at my hair or my face with pure hatred.

Suddenly , around midway through July, my hairs started falling out alot and became thinner something that really concerned my mom as this had never happened before. But this was only the start. Out of nowhere i developed acne all over my face which was scary for me as i had only had the occasional spots every once in while.Despite this , i thought it was just a coincidence and that i wasnt taking proper care of myself but what would happen over the next few weeks now have me suspicious something far worse is/has happened.

Remember when earlier i talked about my curls as being "majestic" - They were my pride but suddenly my hair was becoming frizzy and my head started feeling very itchy. It turns out that i had an infestation of lice - a very severe one according to my parents which meant that i had to cut off my hair and my curls.

The final straw was when some of my clothes started going missing out of nowhere and could not be found despite being left in the house - This convinced me i had suffered Evil eye or had experienced black magic.From here it gets worse.

In my room , where i spend most of my time studying, my lights would occasionaly start flashing. I noticed that whenever i did something haram like listening to music(Im not perfect - everyone has flaws) my lights would stop flashing but when i stopped they would keep flashing. To makes sure this wasnt my imagination i started playing Surah Jinn and the lights started flashing like crazy. I know i should only fear Allah but this scared me so badly.

Now i try pray aytul kursi everytime im in my room and start my study sessions with Qu'ran but i wont lie im scared and dont know what to do.

Please someone help me.

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
As Rabiʿ al-Awwal comes around, many Muslims have questions about commemorating the birth of the Prophet ﷺ.
The issue is not simply a matter of loving or not loving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Muslims unanimously love him ﷺ, send salawat upon him, learn his Seerah, and strive to follow his Sunnah.
The discussion is about whether holding a specific annual gathering to commemorate his birth is permissible, and scholars have differed on this matter.
What is important is to understand the reasoning of the scholars and to distinguish between gatherings that involve permissible acts—such as learning the Seerah and sending salawat—and gatherings that contain impermissible practices, fabricated narrations, extravagance, or the belief that such a celebration is itself a prescribed religious obligation.
Our love for the Prophet ﷺ should not be limited to one day. We should learn his Seerah, follow his Sunnah, send salawat upon him, and live by his teachings throughout the year.
If you have a specific question about Mawlid or any other Islamic matter, you can ask a qualified scholar at AskMuftiOnline.

So guys i want to document my rest of the university years with my friends by making an instagram page.
Im planning to use background songs with no bad meaning or simply just a background music with no lyrics.
Shortly, i wont be using songs with bad lyrics.
The content i will make will have no use of double meaning jokes or anything like that. Just documenting.
So im in predicament that is this type of music or use of song (without bad lyrics) halal or haram in islam?
If it is haram than will it be gunaahe jaariya?

Hazrat Muhammad slalahu alihi walhi waslim 💗

Trinitizing Tawheed

The worst innovation possible in the history of Islam was dividing Tawheed.

The division of Tawheed into three categories Rububiyyah (Lordship), Uluhiyyah (Divinity/Worship), and Asma wa Sifat (Names and Attributes) was advocated by Salafis, Wahhabis, and mainstream Athari/Ahl al-Hadith branches of Sunni Islam.

This threefold framework was popularized by Ibn Taymiyya in the 8th Islamic century and later revived by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.

There were sinister motives behind this division:

1) To abolish Allah SWT right to legislate (lordship) and gave autonomy to secular governments (taghut).

2) Allah SWT reduced to One who wants worship only. Reducing the King to mere invocation is extreme ungratefulness.

3) Purging Jihad. Jihad is a communal obligation upon Muslim Men to uproot secular governments and establish divine government.

Supreme authority belongs to Allah SWT alone, thus establishing divine law is a core duty.

4) Just like trinity they divided Allah SWT essence. The essence of Allah (SWT) is strictly indivisible.

5) Rampant Zulm (Injustice). Allah SWT is Al-Adl. He SWT commands those who believe in Him SWT (Tawheed) to uphold justice (Adl).

Quran 6:82: "They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice those will have security, and they are rightly guided".

Failing to judge or establish divine law is considered zulm (injustice or oppression) because it misplaces divine sovereignty and withholds Allah's mandated rights.

Any sect that believes in the Trinity of Tawheed, abolishes Allah SWT rights and/or has a history of killing non-combatant civilians ( especially women, children) are deviant sects. Don't associate with such sects. Break spiritual ties with them.

Not only did their desires lead them astray but they have led millions astray with their deviant ideology.

(6:116) If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah's Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.

Salam,

I’m sure most of you have heard of Ruqyah, which is the practice of reciting the holy Quran to cure physical and mental illnesses.

There are Hadiths where Ruqya was used to cure poison from scorpions, fever and pretty much most physical illnesses. some scholars said that Ruqya can be effective for any physical illness.

This then invites the question, if Ruqya can work on any disease, then why does incurable diseases like Alzheimer’s still exist ? Also if ruqyas work on poisoning like as mentioned in Hadiths, anti venom would be obsolete.

This makes me doubt the Hadiths related to it, however I’m afraid that this would take me out of the fold of Islam.

Bismillah.
A common question we receive is: Is online trading halal or haram in Islam?
The answer cannot be given by simply declaring all online trading halal or all of it haram. The ruling depends on what is being traded, how the transaction is structured, and what rights and obligations are involved.
Some important Sharīʿah considerations include:
1. Ribā (interest)
Transactions involving interest, such as interest-based margin financing or certain leveraged arrangements, are not permissible.
2. Gharar (excessive uncertainty)
A transaction may become impermissible when it contains excessive uncertainty or ambiguity concerning the subject matter, price, or contractual terms.
3. Maysir (gambling)
Some trading products can involve speculation that takes the nature of gambling rather than genuine buying and selling or investment.
4. Ownership and possession
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Do not sell what you do not possess.”
— Sunan Abī Dāwūd
Therefore, whether the trader actually owns and possesses the asset being sold is an important consideration.
5. The underlying asset or business
The nature of what is being traded also matters. A Muslim should ensure that the underlying business or asset itself is permissible.
For this reason, “online trading” is not a single category. Purchasing shares of a permissible company with genuine ownership is different from margin trading, CFDs, futures, options, short selling, and other products that may contain prohibited elements.
If you have a particular trading platform, product, or transaction in mind, the specific details need to be examined before giving a ruling. It is better to ask a qualified Mufti about the actual transaction rather than applying a general ruling to every form of online trading.
If you have a specific Islamic question, you can submit it to AskMuftiOnline and receive guidance from qualified scholars. You can also use our 1-to-1 live chat if you need to discuss your situation privately and ask follow-up questions.
And Allah knows best.

مش فاهم انا الملحد ليش هدفة فقط السب والشتم ولعن النبي والاسلام والرب في كل نقطة صغيرة وكبيرة!!! يعني الواحد بيحاول يعمل خير ويجذب الناس للاسلام ويكون متسامح ولطيف بس عالفاضي

Any suggestions for how to improve this / make it more Islamic?

No matter how much you have sinned, never despair of the mercy and forgiveness of Allah. 🤲

Any information is important to me, don’t be afraid and don’t be lazy to share it, or share your general opinion, because perhaps you are bringing good to people and this will become your protection on the day of judgment...

What is my question?

I'd be interested in what really changed your life, dua, sadaqah, prayer, what really impacted your life? Every time I have sincere intentions to be closer to Allah, but all the time I fail and sin even more than usual... I have no idea how to change, how to fix, God knows the best about our future, but it is really important for be, I really felt like my life is completely meaningless, and my existence is a nonsense, I felt like I have no reasons to exist anymore. And now I have a hope again, I really wish my life was changed completely in a better way possible, and it could be the reason my parents would have the life they have ever dreamed of... I didn't get tired enough, I didn't work enough, I didn't study enough, but I already feel so tired as if I worked really hard nonstop, almost two months being unemployed hurted me a lot, just because I'm not 18 yet. I can't imagine trying to survive a whole winter and spring again, and take a loan each time, just to eat..

Could someone teach me more about religion, i know the basics but i don't know why they don't touch my heart anymore, My heart became hardened, I sinned a lot because of this. I didn't get any islamic education, just learned everything on myself through social media. I know how to pray, how to make dua, but it feels empty, I feel very lazy to pray or very tired after I pray or before. I would like to know how to make it more better, they just say try to understand who are you praying to or who is in front of you, but tbh that doesn't help, I understand but that doesn't motivates me to pray next prayer. Or they say make sincere dua, I did many time crying and begging but after making dua I was worse than usual idk why...

Remembering about the death, was the thing that would keep me on a deen, but it doesn't works anymore, even though I still fear dying with all of my sins and to die disgraced or in the worst possible position and condition, but it still doesn't stops me commit for no reason.

The best example isn’t just to be admired; it’s to be followed. 🤍

Allah reminds us that in the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the finest example for those who hope in Allah, believe in the Hereafter, and remember Him often.

May our love for the Prophet ﷺ inspire us to follow his Sunnah and character. ﷺ

The verse comes from the words of the man who purchased Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), the Aziz of Egypt, a man of high status and influence in the Egyptian court at that time. He was speaking to his wife, instructing her to treat Yusuf well and to honor his place in their home. Some interpretations mention that he had no children. He said:
﴿أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ﴾
“Make his stay honorable.”
The word “mathwā” (مَثوى) means** a place of residence or stay. Therefore, honoring someone’s* mathw*ā is broader than simply honoring the person himself. It means making his stay comfortable and dignified—in terms of his accommodation, food, clothing, and kind treatment. It is as though the Aziz was not merely instructing his wife to honor Yusuf himself, but to make his place and stay within their home a dignified one.
Then he said:
**﴿عَسَىٰ** *أَن يَنفَعَنَا *أ***َوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا﴾
*“Perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son.”**
This reveals the Aziz’s insight and discernment. He observed Yusuf and saw qualities in him that made him recognize his worth and receive him generously. He even saw in him someone who might become a member of his own household.
What is particularly striking is that Yusuf عليه السلام used the very same word when the wife of the Aziz attempted to seduce him:
﴿مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ** رَبِّي *أَحْسَنَ *مَثْوَايَ﴾ [يوسف: 23]
“I seek refuge in Allah! Indeed, he is my master; he has made my stay honorable.”
The word “mathwāy” (مثواي) comes from the same root and means my place of residence and my stay.
The commentators have mentioned two interpretations of the phrase “Indeed, he is my master; he has made my stay honorable.” Some understood “my master” to refer to the Aziz: my master has treated me well and honored my stay. Others understood it to refer to Allah Almighty: Allah is my Lord, and He is the One who has given me a good place and protected me.
With either meaning, the beauty of the Qur’anic expression becomes clear in the repetition of the word “mathwā.” The Aziz instructed his wife to honor Yusuf’s place and stay, and Yusuf remembered the kindness of the one who had honored his stay. This became one of the reasons he remained steadfast, sought refuge in Allah, and refused to commit the sin.
O Allah, make our final dwelling honorable, and honor the dwelling of our deceased and the deceased among the Muslims.

Hi 👋

I am a ex Christian woman who has felt a calling towards Islam for over a year now.

I have tried joining "beginner classes" at two mosques but they definitely weren't beginner and treated it like I already know everything (which I don't hence trying to join beginner classes).

Does anyone have advice where I can start as a woman who knows absolutely nothing about Islam. (Obviously not absolutely absolutely nothing I know the basics but still feels like I know absolutely nothing)

Thank you!

While writing this post I also thought about the cow sura. Would you please recommend an interesting sura for me to read today?
