:salam2: I have a number of questions on this topic: 1) Is isthikhara an innovation? 2) How does one read isthikhara? 3) How does one distinguish between actual signs and overactive imagination? Thank you

:salam2: I don't think she did anything wrong islamically. Whether or not she committed a social faux pas is another matter, but again I don't think she erred. Though it may seem a little forward of her to write such a message, she used her initiative and good on her for thinking outside the...

:salam2: I understand exactly how you feel! Worry not. You're studying hard? You're praying? Yes? Then thats all that you can do. Leave the rest to Allah swt. Have faith. You know that everything will work out inshAllah. Just carry on doing what you're doing and then tell me how the...

:salam2: So... after a very long job search I found a job. It would be the perfect job if it didn't require a 2 hour commute every day. I can't drive so my parents would need to give me a lift to the train station every morning at 6.45. Understandably, they are not too happy about this and so...

Asalamalykum, This has always confused me... I'm sure I read somewhere that a woman does not have to do the cooking and cleaning and that her primary duty is to bring up the children as good Muslims? I've also read stories of some of the Companions cooking and cleaning and sewing their own...

:salam2: Whether reverts or raised as Muslim, each of us has been on a journey of emaan. Sometimes, there are ups and downs, sometimes there are highs and lows. Sometimes life gets tough. What advice would you give to your younger self if you could? If you were just starting out life's journey?

:salam2: It's scary how a lot of the things on the list apply to me...

:salam2: How do you maintain your level of imaan? I remember the times when I would get tearful at the thought of missing a prayer, yet now I don't give it a second thought. I find it so difficult to have that same motivation, the same drive to please Allah swt, as I did a few years ago...
