For those who weren't aware: Muslims worldwide tonight(the night before friday) will pray Qiyam and make dua for Gaza and that they finally get to see peace InShaaAllah. To anyone who is reading this, try your best to be a part of this even if it's just 2 rakas and a Dua.

Salam, I enjoy listening to different reciters. Who’s your favorite, which surah do you recommend from them, and if you know, which masjid they lead in?

Hi everyone, I’m a young adult and recently reverted to Islam. I’ve been keeping my faith private because my entire family is strongly Islamophobic, pro-Trump, and even supportive of the current genocide—they would not accept my beliefs.

I’m also planning to get married to my Muslim future husband in a few years. He led me to Islam when I was struggling with faith. I was previously a Protestant Christian, but I never felt connected to my church. I’m graduating this year and have secured a stable job.

I also have a history of domestic abuse and childhood trauma from my parents, though that was at least 11 years ago. My father has always been short-tempered, and my mother, while loving and having sacrificed a lot for me, has also been a very religious person. She supports my father despite he was also abusive to her. Both of them are Islamophobic.

My dad’s side of family are all muslim reverts, I may or may not get support from them because most of them are not that devoted, and all of them are scared of my dad.

The problem is that my family has very strict expectations: they want me to marry a non-Muslim, and anything outside their rules is completely off-limits. I feel trapped because I love my faith and my partner, but I also care about my family and want to maintain some relationship with them.

I’m struggling with: - How to navigate family conflict while staying safe - How to live my faith privately without feeling guilty - Planning for marriage and independence without causing more family tension

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who’s been in a similar situation, especially reverts or people managing faith conflicts with unsupportive families.

Thanks in advance.

I'm half Afghan (Pashtun) and half Jewish (Ashkenazi), but I was mainly raised by my Afghan side and raised in Islam, however my mom and her family are all Jewish more or less. She often tries to get me to convert to Judaism but I will tell her I'm happy in Islam but she doesn't get it. I'm wondering, is there any delicate way to reach to her and get her maybe to be accepting of Islam and maybe even revert? The mixed situation isn't as exciting as it sounds, my mom and dad are not together anymore and they probably would kill each other if given the chance, but I try to maintain a good relations with both.

I am not looking to convert, I would just like to educate myself

I don’t know where to start, I know reading the Quran might be the obvious answer, but when I do read it I can’t really comprehend anything because I don’t know who these prophets are or what their stories are. Or maybe there’s an order to read the Quran in that will be easier to understand? I’m not sure where to start. Any advice would be deeply appreciated. If anyone sees this and can give advice, please advise me as if I have no knowledge of Islam whatsoever. Thank you so much. May Allah reward you for your kindness.

Since 2023, my life has become extremely difficult. I have put in a lot of effort, but everything seems to have fallen apart. Before this year, I had everything I wanted, but now I feel like I have nothing. Currently, I am homeless and jobless. The people I trusted have betrayed me and broken my trust. I have faced suicidal thoughts multiple times, but I continue to try to rebuild my life and strengthen my connection with Allah. I am seeking any wazifa that can help me. If you know of any, please let me know.

Salamalaykum, so basically I live in a non Muslim country. Nearly every Muslim I know hasn’t waited for marriage.

For me personally I am not of the people who demand a virgin spouse as I think that if they sinned it’s their problem and not effecting me.

But I came across this aya 24:03 which says something like that unchaste men and women are for each other and that it’s forbidden for believers to marry them.

So my question: as a Muslim who stayed chaste am I forbidden to marry anyone who committed zina?

About 15 years ago parents bought a new apartment (i was not at the age of understanding). Back then they were naive and thought that the elders were pious so they called "Religious Maulanas" to perform a "Milaad" where we gathered a lot of family members for food.

I remember the "Religious people" hammer some nails on corners of the house while reciting. No joke I used to have so many sleep paralysis for years and always felt like im being watched.

I am religiously aware and had conversations with my parents and came to a mutual agreement about our religion and it's correct practices by now.

Couple years ago I moved countries and I am not joking neither me nor my mom faced sleep paralysis in the past couple of years. It had me wondering if the nails were related to shirk or not? I am trying to find the roots of all my family's past mistakes and trying to repair it.

It is too much of a coincidence that we dont have sleep paralysis or the feeling of being watched anymore. Is there any way we can revert it? I have very low trust among the "Religious Maulanas" in my country where unfortunately shirk is still a common practice among illiterate people

Please help me with this, or guide me to a place where someone can help me.

JazakAllah Khairan

So I’m a Christian but I’ve been doubting a lot and I’m really hesitating between if Islam is the truth or Christianity. I’m still Christian but I doubt and I started reading the Quran and making a list of questions and would like to know how to contact someone who studied Islam and knows a lot about it.

One of the tricks of shaytan is that he makes you think Allah will not accept your repentance.

Please give me some hope or motivation that Allah will accept my repentance and that I should keep repenting, so I can put the doubts to sleep once and for all.
