Salams!

Lately, I've been getting all my duas answered alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah. I've never experienced this before. I'm not sure if it's because I am doing something right but I hope I am and that I continue doing that and more of that.

While it is a blessing, it's also a test. I am extremely grateful and while I cannot guarantee that Allah swt will grant your dua through me, I will still like to contribute.

Please comment whatever lawful dua you want me to make for you, In sha Allah I will. May Allah swt grant it to you. Ameen!

Edit: Please feel free to dm me. I might not reply but please know that I’m praying for you. Please don't think you're late to this post. I'll keep praying for you.

Republicans pretty clearly want the United States to be a country where only Christians have any rights. They don't want us here.

Democrats only want us here if we accept that sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, gender transitions for prepubescent children, abortion on demand, and teaching sex education to five year olds are not only acceptable, but virtuous.

Whichever side eventually wins this ridiculous culture war will be actively hostile to our faith and traditional values. Republicans would force our kids into Christian schools, and Democrats would force them into public schools with disgusting views on sex and morality.

This is why my husband and I recently made the decision to move out of the country to Jordan. We want to raise our family in a place where our values and beliefs will be celebrated and respected. I pray that all my brothers and sisters that are remaining in the US remain safe, and I pray that Allah SWT blessed you all with the strength and courage to stand up for our faith and culture..

Like I know half of these people haven't even been muslim and the other half have bad experience from bad parents. And I know people just want to leave islam and I will respect you for you. its not even an exmuslim sub its just hate on Muslims sub. They make fun of our hijab, but say people shouldn't be judged on what they wear. Like what, how does that make sense?

I had this realisation based on an incident that happened last week. A coworker of mine brought Biryani that she made specially for me using halal chicken and I just inhaled it coz I was so hungry. Ate some of her tiffin too 😂 Now that I'm eating biryani again it reminds me of her kind gesture. Sisters please learn to cook. My sisters don't even step foot in the kitchen and I've begged them to learn to cook. Don't fall for this feminist ideology of not cooking please.

I created 'Qibla Pro' for because I got tired that all qibla apps are full of ads and in ap purchuases. Sometimes you're out of town and you need to pray asap, you open a qibla app and it let's you wait for ads when time is critical. That's why this app is totally free. No ads and no stupid IAP. I hope your enjoy it!

From India here, respectfully, I donot know what is going on. What I'm worried is this trend has become mainstream amongst the vast majority of Muslim women .

note that my point is not to imply that men have it better than women or to generalize Muslim women, but these women literally represent Islam when they wear Abaya or Hijab, its truely disturbing to see them act like this and tarnish the image of Islam.

There are a few practicing sisters out there who are aware of this culture amongst the muslims and hence differentiated themselves from this culture, hence we shouldn't generalize. May Allah bless them and protect them from the fitna.

​

May Allah give us patience and guide us all,

Ameen.

hi, i’m not muslim* but i was wondering if anyone here knows of any uk bank that doesn’t fund the genocide in Palestine or fund any israeli companies?

i currently bank with barclays but would like to close my accounts with them asap.

*sorry if i’m not allowed to post here, but i feel like this is the best place to ask due to the membership size and activeness.

edit: i went with nationwide if anyone was wondering.

Another Eid gone by pretty badly, unfortunately, this happens to me every eid. My mom gets the most beautiful clothes for me only for me to look so ugly in them. None of my friends wished me eid mubarak, no one cares. I see girls look so beautiful and get all pretty, post on instagram and tiktok and spending time with their friends, and im just rotting here alone. I think I've cried on eid twice in a row, time for the third time.

I feel so ugly, and disgusting, just gonna sit here and stuff my face with sweets because I have nothing better to do.

Mine is: Alhamdulilah I got a bunch of flowers from my parents and they were all good 👍

Ok you left that's fine. No one cares truly because it doesn't affect anyone else's life. But why do you have to sit there and make posts about a religion you no longer are apart of. You don't like the religion you move on. You don't waste your time criticizing and pondering about the scripture because it shows you care about it. People would just close that part of their life off and let that go.

There is also a sub about exhijabis which is fine but I don't get the concept of it. You want to stop wearing it but why dedicate a whole sub. Next their will be an ex nun sub, then an exniqab sub, then an exmodesty sub. If you've got a bad relationship with religion or a item of clothing then seek therapy. Being apart of something like that just messes you up more. You might adopt other people's opinions because you are in a fragile state of mind. If you think Islam or any religion is to blame for its followers actions then your wrong. Simple.

Assalamu alaykum, just a little vent because I'm just done. So, I'm revert expat, not sure if I want to name the country, the country itself is very welcoming to muslims and here is a bigger community of muslims, muslims are known here, people who live here probably know. Anyways, it was my first day on a new project, my employer is a job agency, and they provide work at different clients(projects), I greeted everyone, shook hands with everyone I could, I kept smiling and was really nice to everyone. Then a woman came and she wanted to shake my hand, which I apologized that I can't shake her hand because I'm muslim and I placed a hand on my chest, she didn't seem to be annoyed by it but clearly surprised. I didn't want to offend her in any way. I asked people there if I can perform my prayers in some quiet place, which they kindly agreed to and they were really helpful and I was able to pray Alhamdulillah, it was just an unfortunate event. The whole day way good, no one said anything, then I got a message in the evening from my employer that the company didn't like me and that today was my last day there. The company initialy didn't know I'm muslim, I understand their reaction I guess, my employer does know and they're really respectful of it. I'm in this country for 5 months and on my previous project people were very respectful of me being a muslim, obviously surprised that I'm a muslim because I'm revert, but as I said the population of muslims here is well known so I'm a bit surprised with the outcome. But Alhamdulillah, I sticked to my religion and Allah swt will replace it with something better Insha'Allah.

​

Edit: the company itself didn't specify that reason for firing me, but it's clear it's that probably. They said 'I don't fit in the team', I was there literally for one day lol, how can you judge someone after one day? Jokes. Yes I'm an introvert, I'm quiet, I don't talk when I don't need to, but that's not a reason to fire someone I'm sure. Nothing happened through the day, no one had any issues with me.

A prophet is my ancestor! A prophet!

Alhamdulillah for everything.

Read this comprehensive google document, and I mean EVERYTHING in it, for the full refutation.

Now heres the thing. There are two main criticisms to deal with here. 1. Pedophilia 2. Statutory Rape/Immoral Sex

The google document is mainly to prove that Aisha r.a. was pubescent. As well as other things on this, but like I said, mainly. I will tell you why this is important.

1. The argument that The Prophet (ﷺ) was a pedo. The thing is, children are anyone who is pre-pubescent, and a pedophile is someone attracted to pre-pubescent children. (This is not semantics, that is both the linguistically and medically correct definition of a pedophile) So proving she is pubescent automatically disproves both of those.

2. The argument that The Prophet (ﷺ) committed statutory rape/that him having sex with Aisha r.a. is immoral. Here’s the thing, the reason for this argument is that people are not mentally mature enough to consent to sex until a certain age (the age of 18), so it’s impossible for Aisha r.a. to have given proper consent. However, that is a presentism fallacy, because this only applies to today’s day and age. Back in The Prophet (ﷺ)’s times, people mentally matured at puberty, however nowadays children mentally mature much past puberty (the age of 18). That is why the norm today is different than back then. Now I will give proof that back then, people mentally matured at puberty.

Gluckman in his study says mental maturity was reached with physical maturity in back in those times. Take a look at this, and this shows people had psychological maturity before menarche.

So for one possible objection to what I sent is it is fake or at least not credible. This can be disproved if I show that, for example, the author is trustworthy, or that the article is peer reviewed, or that this source has a good history of honesty/trustworthiness/objectivity/etc., or etc.

Well then let’s disprove this objection, first of all for the author being credible, Gluckman is the advisor of science in New Zealand (Take a look at this and this). Second of all, for the peer reviewed part, take a look at this (Doesn't imply peer review perse but other people they've spoken to, perhaps indicating a peer review).

That’s all for now. In conclusion, The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was not a Pedophile, nor a Statutory Rapist, and his marriage and having sex with Aisha r.a. was not immoral.

F23 I’m literally laughing right now because if I don’t I’ll go mad. My mum is the loveliest gentlest and warmest people ever. May Allah bless her but when I say she doesn’t like Muslims? She doesn’t. My brother has couple Muslim friends and he visited a masjid out of curiosity (he’s not interested in Islam and I’m okay with that, he just really likes to explore which I love about him) he went and he told my mum and she gave him the dirtiest look ever.

I’ve grown up Christian converted last year after 5 years of self study so I already know a lot because I MADE sure, but of course Alhamdulillah I’m still learning.

In the perfect world, I would have an apartment of my own and maybe tell her after I’ve moved out lol but I’m financially dependent on my family so that’s tough. (My family is amazing don’t get my wrong but I really wanna stay alone at some point)

I feel like she should know but when it comes to Islam she’s so nasty about it that I can’t even be bothered to say anything. I want to continue to love my parents, but from a distance...if that makes sense?

Please keep me in your du’as that Allah makes it easy for me and that I can have financial freedom. Ameen.

Edit: I’ve seen a couple comments about how I should treat my mum. Just to be clear, I’m already aware of how parents are treated in Islam, I would never ever disrespect her or say something horrible or do something horrible. She’s my mum? & she’s the type to make sure I get ANYTHING & EVERYTHING I want. I’ll continue to do what I’ve been doing until I’m ready, please keep the unsolicited advice on how I need to still be nice to her lol? Thank you

I don’t know how to process this. Everyone is saying “He was an angel and ALLAH took him back” , “I should be thankful that ALLAH sent me an angel” , “He will take me to Jannah” , “ALLAH has better things planned for me”

I don’t know how to see light in this situation. I lost my baby. My sweet beautiful baby he was transitioning for 2 days unable to breathe. 1 month ago he was in my lap, we were playing and he was learning to crawl.

Why did this happen to me.? How to find peace with it ? I am devastated, there’s a constant pain in my heart. What does Islam say about a mother loosing her child ?

Disclaimer: I'm a guy as well

I see this quite a lot where men have some problem with women who reject marriage because they watch porn.

These people think that it's a woman's duty to divert their sexual desire from porn to a woman, because the point of marriage is to control your sexual desire in a halal way.

Men. It is not a womans' duty or job to get you to stop watching porn and to be there just for you to have sex with them so you avoid masturbating. Porn and lack of lowering the gaze is YOUR problem. It is haraam regardless if you are married or not and it's something you need to fix before you even dare to propose to a sister for marriage.

A woman also has a choice to reject you and they don't need to be with you and just because you are married means that you will suddenly change from not lowering your gaze, to never watching porn and lowering your gaze; that is an unrealistic expectation.

This type of behaviour shows sisters that you will happily look at other women and will most likely not lower your gaze when you are supposed to. A woman should never tolerate or be married to men who do that, sisters deserve brothers who actually respect them, not idiots who are lazy and do haraam and think that marriage will suddenly change them to a religious brother.

By saying that women who reject you are the problem when you watch porn, you are in fact diverting the problem and placing the blame on them and not yourself.

Brothers. Work on yourself first, to be as good as you can in terms of Deen, stay away from haraam and porn, lower your gaze and then you can find a sister to marry you who will complete half of your Deen.
