I’m a lifelong Christian who is currently taking an Abrahamic religion university course, and it has been nothing short of eye opening. Basically, I just don’t see how the gospel accounts of Jesus line up with the historical Jesus whatsoever. In my eyes, it couldn’t be more clear that the actual, historical Jesus would reject the concept of the Trinity and a large portion of the teachings of Paul which heavily influenced the early church. To me, this just seems like a giant dealbreaker when it comes to the debate between Christianity and Islam. How can Christianity be correct if it gets more incorrect about its central figure than Islam does? Apparently I’m not alone as my professor explained that this is quite a common experience among people who take his class!

I love my sweetest Allah so incredibly much. Every tiny cell in body loves Him deeply.. I love talking to him, I love thinking about Him, I love talking about Him. And I feel He loves me even more.

How extremely lucky am I to be born in this religion.

English and easy to read?

I’m a F and i have always struggled with my prayer, reading quran, fast, learning surah and many other things that we are supposed to do in our everyday life what bout y’all?

Hello all,

I hope this is the right place to ask this, forgive me if I break any rules but I’m not sure where else to take this.
I live in the US (non-Muslim) and recently found out that one of my mutual friends is texting women online in a non-platonic manner, even making plans to visit these girls. This man is Muslim and recently married about a year ago. His wife is also Muslim. As far as I know, she is unaware of his actions with other women. I myself am not Muslim and I understand marriages in Islamic culture are done a certain way where purity is valued.

I come here to ask for guidance on what to do after coming across this information. Do I have somebody inform the wife or do I keep this to myself? I am very inclined to have my sister inform her and keep myself out of it so as to not embarrass the wife. However I also understand that it’s difficult to get married after being divorced. But I feel like if I were her I’d much rather know now than after I’ve had kids. There’s also the guilt that comes from destroying a marriage. Please let me know the best way to go about this. It seems no one else in our friend group is giving this man’s actions much thought.

Hi, I’m a Literature and Philosophy double-major undergraduate student currently conducting research on the linguistic and theological construction of Allah in classical Chinese Hui Muslim literature.

Lately, I’ve been conducting in-depth research on Islam, and I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to participate in Salah at a mosque. Although this isn’t strictly necessary for my research, I believe that experiencing the practice firsthand might help me gain a deeper understanding of its religious significance and how it is understood by Muslims themselves.

I would, of course, approach this with respect for Islamic beliefs and the local Muslim community. I’m not sure whether participation would be appropriate for someone in my position, particularly as a researcher studying Islam from an academic perspective, so I would greatly appreciate any guidance you could offer.

What a beautiful voice

The reciter's name is in the beginning for those who didn't see

This has probably been seen already, and people are aware of it. I also know many might feel overwhelmed by everything too. You're not alone in that

Just a thought on social media especially TikTok and the rising propaganda and Islamophobia.

Y'all know who owns this app by now. Bots everywhere, the platform controlled badly, propaganda pushed,and trying to erase Arab identity, making people not want to be part of it.

I've also seen influencers getting paid for this. Don't get me wrong we have real issues within our community that need to be addressed. But a lot of these people are out there trying to make people doubt Islam, tracking them, and pushing our sisters and brothers away from the faith

So when it comes to Islamic information and this is a reminder to myself too never take it from a places like this and to get it from a scholar, or do your own research. I'd advise staying away from these apps all together

I've also seen the propaganda rising even here. They basically own everything. Y'all know who I mean by" them". And they're trying to make 🍉 look bad. The propaganda recently has been insane. I tried to post something about boycotting a movie since it's by "them," and it was taken down in that community even though something like that was never done before. So yeah.

A Prayer for Nisar Ahmad Bhat from Kashmir 

O Allah, our Lord and Sustainer, You are Al-Muhyi (The Giver of Life) and Ash-Shafi (The Healer). There is no healing except Your healing—grant a complete cure that leaves no illness behind. O Allah, You created Nisar Ahmad from nothing, and You hold every atom of his being in Your hands. We beg You to look upon him with Your mercy. He is young, and his life's book is not yet finished. Send down Your divine light into his body, into every sleeping nerve, every motionless limb, and every dormant cell. O Allah, wake him from this profound slumber. Grant him a brand-new lease on life—a life filled with vibrant health, strength, and ease. Restore his ability to move his limbs, to think clearly, to speak, and to perform every basic act of life with his own hands and feet once again. Ease the heavy pain in the hearts of his mother, his wife, his children, and all who love him. Comfort his grieving family, strengthen their patience, and let them witness the miracle of his complete recovery. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful. La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin. Ameen."

A Request to All Who Read This

To anyone reading these words: Please pause for a brief moment and raise your hands in sincere Dua for Nisar Ahmad Bhat.

He is a young son, husband, and family member fighting a silent battle in the ICU in Kashmir. Pray that Allah (SWT) replaces his immobility with strength, shatters every barrier to his recovery, and returns him to his home walking, talking, and smiling with his family once again.

“Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, ‘Be,’ and it is!” (Quran 36:82). May Allah write complete health and a miraculous recovery for him. Ameen.

I plan on selling my soul.

I grew up in a muslim household to a single mother who’s endured decades of struggle to raise me and my siblings. I’m currently in college and have been working two jobs for the past few years just trying to keep my family afloat. Although I grew up in a muslim household and was raised memorizing the quran and learning about islam, I never really got attached to the religion ever too deeply. I 100% believe in Allah and Islam but I think the main place I’ve always fallen was my salah because after trying for years I just could never keep it up and after a point I just decided to stop all together. I know what separates a muslim from a non muslim is their prayer and that it will be most important on the day of judgement. Because of that I’ve accepted that sadly I just might not be able to become a person of Jannah but I have come to terms with it. Don’t get me wrong, although this might sound very stupid, to which it is, I am very aware of the fact that I will regret everything I’ve done by the second I die considering this life is less than a second compared to eternity. I love Allah and his Prophet and Islam very much but I know who I am and I can’t see a path that leads to anything but this. Because of cost of University I’ll have to drop out and probably pick up another job. I’ve also been depressed for as long as I could remember which plays a big part in all of this because when someone has no self worth, they don’t really care much about their livelihood. Another big thing that’s pushed me towards this is a conversation I’ve had with my mom a few months ago in which she described how she worked day and night when she first immigrated to the U.S. and how she sent every penny she earned back to her family in africa. The conversation ended in tears and I felt so ashamed that she had such a worthless eldest son, the man who was supposed to save our family. That was when I decided that I would do anything I needed to do to make sure I can retire her as early as possible and build a future for her and my siblings. There’s nothing I care for more than my family and the only reason I plan on doing this is for them. This is the islam sub so I understand if some of you can’t empathize with a guy who says he’ll be selling his soul but I hope you can see how everything has led to this. I share this because I don’t think anyone will ever know and I feel atleast one person should hear of it. I wouldn’t like anyone to try to convince me otherwise or make dua for me but I ask that you make dua for my family for their protection and well-being. They have done nothing wrong.

I am a Muslim girl and I would like to start reading the Quran transliterated in Italian, because I don't know Arabic very well. However, even in my native language, I find it a bit difficult to understand because complex terms are used, so I constantly have to use my phone to look up words

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ العَظِيم

Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi, Subhanallahil Azeem

Translation: All Glory is to Allah (Alone) and all Perfect Praise is due only to Him (Alone), Glory is to Allah (Alone) the Greatest.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Two words are light on the tongue, heavy in the scales, and beloved to the Most Merciful: Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, Subhanallahil 'Azeem (Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, Glory be to Allah the Most Great)."

Sahih al-Bukhari 7563, Sahih Muslim 2694

Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Might be u have seen many examples of it.
