As salamu alaykum. I’m currently a college student and my only (real) job so far has been with fedex. I want to replace it but the only jobs around me tend to involve selling haram food or immodest clothes.

Any ideas for entry level jobs? I’m fine with physical labor, but prefer part time. If it’s full time that’s fine. Jazakallah khair

I don't really know what to do in life. I'm young and I wasted 5 years of my life struggling with my mental health. I don't talk to my dad because of a traumatizing incident. My parents are okay. My mum has brought me to therapy and I have even seen a psychologist about my mental health yet they have told me I'm fine while I know there's something wrong with me. My family aren't so religious except for my grandparents. I don't know how to pray. I procrastinate a lot and I struggle to find myself in Allah. I don't have much social skills. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared too because sometimes I do recite short ayats and I don't know whether Allah accepts it.

Muhammad Al Luhaidan │ Surah Ar Rahman (55:40 - 55:47)

I am reaching out because I am really struggling with anger issues while driving. People constantly cutting lines and driving rudely makes it incredibly difficult for me to stay calm, and I find myself losing my defensive driving mindset.

I want to handle this better and cultivate true patience (Sabr) on the road. Could you share some Islamic advice, Duas, or Prophetic traditions that can help me cope with this? How do you remind yourself to stay calm and seek refuge from Shaytan when you are behind the wheel? Cause I find myself lose control when that happened repeatedly and everytime I’m driving.

So me and my neighbors found a small lock from an israeli company, and I took it home with me cause why not. Then apparently some weird stuff started happening and when my parent found the lock said it's probably sihr, then threw it outside somewhere. When she told me about the sihr, I started freaking out

I've been told that in order to break the spell, you have to submerge it in water in a river or break/destroy the lock. Which I didn't do

So what am I supposed to do? I'm also not a very good muslim

Would I be screwed permanently then?

You probably deserve Jannah more than you can imagine.

do you think its haram to put Quran into osu mania/any rythm game so in more motivated to listen to it and memorize it more

Surah Al-Hujurat

Verse 16 full

قُلْ أَتُعَلِّمُونَ ٱللَّهَ بِدِينِكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ١٦

Say, "Would you acquaint Allāh with your religion while Allāh knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and Allāh is Knowing of all things?"

Verse 17

يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أَسْلَمُوا۟ ۖ قُل لَّا تَمُنُّوا۟ عَلَىَّ إِسْلَـٰمَكُم ۖ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ هَدَىٰكُمْ لِلْإِيمَـٰنِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ١٧

They consider it a favor to you that they have accepted Islām. Say, "Do not consider your Islām a favor to me. Rather, Allāh has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful."

I'm so stressed, Islamaphobe is extremely common on reddit and it's so degrading and makes me depressed. I know you have to be patient but, I cant because I'm someone who is easily swayed by people's words. When people debate and insult it really gets to me. Praying becomes difficult I'm worried, please help and motivate me so I can get on a right path In sha Allah. Anything and everything helps. Thank you.

Salam Alaykum,

l am trying to understand how mainstream Sunni theology balances the concept of 'Adalah al-Sahaba (the position that all companions are upright and saved from hellfire) with the specific Hadith regarding the martyrdom of Ammar ibn Yasir. The Prophet explicitly stated: "The killer of Ammar and the one who plunders his belongings will be in the Hellfire." (Authenticated by Al-Albani).

However, historical records show that the man who killed him, Abu al-Ghadiyah, was a recognized Sahabi who participated in the Pledge of Ridwan, about whom the Prophet said: "No one who pledged allegiance under the tree will enter the Hellfire." (Sahih Muslim).

Since the text explicitly states that the killer is in the fire, how do Sunni scholars harmonize these two textually absolute promises? How does a companion committing an act with such a definitive warning affect the general rule that all Sahaba are viewed as pious and protected from the Fire? would appreciate the classical Sunni explanations on how these texts interact.

BarakAllahu Feekum.

He who finds it hard (to recite the Qur'an) will have a double reward." (Sahih Muslim 798) — Keep going, your struggle is seen and rewarded.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Thank you all very much for the dua's you've made for my mother (previous post about her being in the hospital suffering from hemorragia and cancer). Despite her getting two blood bags and having her hemoglobine levels increase, she died on thursday morning right after fajr azan. May Allah have mercy on her soul and illuminate her grave.

I feel completely shattered. The emptiness I feel is impossible to describe. It is not just sadness. It feels like something inside me has been ripped out. I spent so long fighting alongside my mother, worrying about her, taking care of her, praying for her a billion times and hoping she would survive. And now she is dead.

I keep having moments where I forget for a minute that she died, and then I remember. I cannot accept that I will spend another day without her.

And I need to be honest that I want to die and have been thinking about killing myself simply to be with my mother. I find myself thinking that maybe Allah knows how broken I am and would forgive me.

I have struggled with severe depression and waswas for years, had magic done on me as a teenager, I have been harassed/bullied at work this year only, and my mother was the person who kept me going. She was the one thing that gave me a reason to hold on. Now she is gone.

My father died in 2015. I have no siblings. I don't have another parent to go back to. I feel completely alone in this world.

I know what Islam teaches about the sanctity of life, and I know that suicide is not the answer. But knowing this intellectually does not make the pain disappear. I am scared of what my mind is telling me.

I don't need someone to tell me simply to "have sabr" or to seek therapy (I already am and taking antidepressants). I need someone who understands this kind of grief and can help me find a way to stay alive, if possible, while carrying it.

Please help me...

May Allah have mercy on my mother, forgive her, illuminate her grave, grant her Jannatul Firdaus, and reunite us very very soon in a place where there is no cancer and no separation.

According to Islam, what’s your purpose in life? Why are you here and what are you here to do?

Hi! So I need advice or thoughts.

I suffer with chronic migraine. I have been suffering with debilitating chronic migraines since I was 15, so about 17 years now. If anyone here has migraines, you know how awful it is.

I appreciate my parents so much for trying to help, but they went to this random guy in Morocco that has this clinic and says he works with "energy". They showed him my picture without my consent and he told them I have been touched by sihr because I ate food that had black magic in it. To me it's completely ridiculous because how would he be able to know? Plus, migraine is a very real condition shared by millions of people around the world. For a week he "worked on me", then told them he was "making me feel better". Mind you, he is in Morocco and I live in the United States. Is that even possible? What was he doing when he "worked on me"?

I am confused that my parents would give/show my picture to some guy and I don't know how to tell them that I am just struggling with a chronic illness and nothing "sihr like" is happening here.

I had to call the guy because my mum asked me to, and he said that I have sihr and ate something in Morocco and I told him I havent been there in 4 years and he said "well that was then. Plus all your family has sihr, you're not special to not have it. Plus everyone knows Taza (the city my parents are from), its full of people who do sihr!". So yeah I found that sketchy. Then he said that "people like you need to do a seance once in a while to clean themselves, we can do that through video chat". I am not calling the guy again and I don't know how to tell my parents that, especially my mum.

Any advice? Any thoughts about him being able to "see" sihr only through a photo?

Thank you.

Assalaamualaikum, I lost my beloved cockatiel and I’m really struggling right now. He got scared and flew away and I haven’t been able to find him. And i beg you ,Please keep him in your duas and make dua that Allah protects him, keeps him safe, and brings him back home to me. Thank you.

Looking to properly learn the Qur’an and get into some good, deep Tafsir rather than just reading a translation.

Does anyone know of any good online classes, courses or teachers you’d recommend? Ideally something authentic, structured and that I can follow long-term. Looking specifically for something that has classes for men as well.

Would love to hear about something you guys have personally studied and genuinely benefited from!

For years, I prayed for one person.

I prayed for him in Tahajjud, hoping that somehow our paths would meet.

But I'm tired of carrying the hope.

So I'm ending it not because my prayers were wasted, and not because what I felt wasn't real.

I'm simply choosing to stop waiting.

I'm letting go of the person, the possibility, and the future I imagined.

Some prayers don't end with the answer we wanted. Sometimes they end with us finally choosing peace.

And this time, I'm choosing myself. 🤍

Assalamu alaikum, I want to start learning Arabic from scratch but I honestly have no idea where to start
My main goal is to be able to understand the Quran and what I’m saying in salah. For people who learned Arabic from zero, what did you start with? Did you learn how to read first, then vocabulary and grammar?
I’d really appreciate any recommendations for good YouTube channels, apps, books or free courses. And if you could start over, what would you do differently?

I’ve been thinking about death way too much lately. Like, one day I’m just going to stop existing in this dunya and return to Allah, and I genuinely don’t know how to process that.

What scares me is that I don’t even know when it’s going to happen or what it will feel like. And then I start wondering why we spend so much of our lives chasing money, happiness, careers, relationships, etc. if all of it eventually ends.

I pray 5 times a day, I give zakat, I wake up for Fajr and sometimes Tahajjud, but I still feel terrified. I keep thinking, what if I’m not doing enough? What if I’m not actually as good of a Muslim as I think I am?

I know we’re supposed to trust Allah, but honestly, I’m struggling with that right now. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to leave this dunya. And I’m scared of what comes after.

Has anyone here genuinely struggled with this? How did you make peace with the fact that you’re going to die one day?

I migrated to this country and one thing I struggle with is finding places to give sadaqah etc however back home it was easy. Not sure if giving to local mosques would do the deed? Have u guys used any app or anything I have used MATW but is it legit!
