im very sorry to hear that you're in such a difficult situation,and even though there are tests for your faith,one still feels afraid if they're gonna make god proud or give in. so hang in there,my prayers of support are with you,may Allah inspire you with the right things to say to her.but...

GRAAAAAAAWWGGH!!! ive had it up to my nose with people blindly using proposterous conjecture about islam. "its a religion of war,hatred and the more you become pious the more you are violent and disrespectful of others" and they grabbed the aya which said do not befriend jews or nasarah (or...

:salam2: i read in some other post that when you have doubts about islam that is actually a good sign because that is the devil trying to weaken your faith..which means you have faith. i hope this is not silly and i hope i dont get shut down for this,but i am a person of low self esteem...

i can understand how you feel i am orried to,until a fello muslim made a very blatant simple truth to me: follow the quran (which has not changed for thousands of years and will not change because god is its protector) and the basic pillars of islam and lead a good life.fullstop. these branches...

i didnt glorify this other source..and i didnt ask for guidance for the "angels and unicorns" any other time except for those stupid moments when i felt depressed and i needed to see the positive images on the cards to lift my spirits..and many times i heard that feeling of god loves me instead...

my heart is so heavy i am gonna drop to the ground... here's the story...mum always told me that you can always feel in your heart wether god has forgiven a sin or if he is angry with you. i comitted a sin and repented form it and ellhamdulellah it strengthened my faith and i felt such a...

ANYBODY who tells you to "think for your own" or "be independant" as meaning that you should defy your parents is meaning you harm and you shouddlnt consider him sister...because allah SWT and the prophet kept re-inforcing the importance of our parents in our lives and maybe (and god knows best)...

you're the maaaaaan..i totally support your thesis because our religion also told us "e'3qel wa tawakal" which means "use your brains then surrender your will to god" unfortunatley alot of us are so excited/comitted to our religion that we dont try to understand some of its rules...which makes...

ok this is the only way this whole rule is making sense to me: in the prophet's (pbuh) time clothing's length was a popularised sign of a man's wealth..as someone who was poor couldnt afford to buy more material and cover him/herself up..nowadays as long as you dont drag it around and look...

Salamo alaikom all,:salam2: i know this might have been posted before but just incase there are new members or people need a reminder of god's glory and the righteousness of our religion: i was watching this video as another brother recommended this site and i watched a debate about wether...

why do you think there is such strong emphasis and caution about garments above or below the ankle,brother/sister? sorry i like to fully understand the reasons or background for things in our religion so if there is a story for when the rule was first given or why it was issued please share...as...

where did you get this hadith from brother/sister? maybe if we understood its context we'd understand it better because it seems kind of strange...im assuming the prophet was trying to encourage a tidy dress sense were people should step on their extra long garments and drag them on the...

may allah bless me (and others) with such wonderful friends :)

salamo alaikom brothers and sisters, i have a problem i hope you can kindly help me with,and i am giving you a pre-warning its gonna sound very much like a rant-session because i am quite afraid for my faith.. i am 18 years old and live in new zealand...this country has so much liberty in...
