I was planning to bake a specific dessert with my nephew but he was being insolent/silly and talking over me. I became stressed and angry and said something like "wallahi you're not going to make it!"
I immediately regretted what I said as I don't normally say wallahi, let alone for trivial matters. As I wasn't specific in my wording does that mean he can make that particular dessert another day (as my intention was that our planned baking activity was no longer going ahead that day)? or maybe because I wasn't specific I'm worried he can't make it indefinitely, forever. If he does make it, do I have to find 10 poor people to feed 2 meals to?
Asalamualaikum warahmatula hiwabarakatuhu,
I need urgent guidance!!!
I am a university student and I am not financially stable at all. Is there any way you can help me? I am mentally really disturbed!
I am a girl, I turned 18 last year and I'm entering my second year of university in september inshallah. I like a guy who is 6/7 years older than me and Alhamdulillah by the help and blessings of Allah (S.W.T) he is earning really well and he is capable enough to build a family on his own. I really want to get married because he is the right person for me, our personalities match, he brings me closer to my deen, he is really respectful and I want to make everything halal. He is also ready to get married to me, and there are no restrictions from his family either. My mom found out about him and we decided to come clear to her, and he spoke to her. She concluded by saying that I am too young and that he is Pakistani and I am an Indian so it's not possible, because if we get married everyone will get to know I chose my partner by myself and everyone will start talking. We have gone through every situation together and I have known him for 5 months now. I know he is the guy I want to marry because Alhamdulillah we have helped each other a lot to get on the path of Allah and we love each other for the sake of Allah.
I have even prayed to Istikhara and his mom also found out about us and she was so happy, because she got to know me and she loves me as a person. His older sister also met me and she knows that I am willing to get married and I will be a good wife to him. His father called my dad and told him that he wants to meet and talk about us but my dad brushed it off and said I will call you later and he never called him back. My relationship with my parents has ruined and they are always threatening to throw me out of the house and they keep telling me to leave. We were in Dubai for 14 years and came to Canada 3 years ago, my dad is planning to take us back because he says that the only reason we came here was for my studies but I am not studying and I have fallen in traps so he is planning to take us all back. My mom keeps bringing up my past and tells me I am the same person, but Alhamdulillah I have changed a lot and no one but Allah knows that!
There are so many people out there telling us to do a secret nikkah and get married because my parents are making terrible decisions right now, but we don't want that, that's our last option, we want my parents to bless me and wed me off happily. He wants that too, he doesn't want my parents to think bad of him.
We both had a lot of problems over the last months and they were really extreme at points where we kept leaving but Allah swt kept sending us signs and kept bringing us together. I know that he is the right one because he is literally the male and mature version of me. Our thinking’s are alike.
And moreover the important part for me is that we both were lost in this world, but Alhamdulilah ever since we met each other, we have drawn ourselves and each other really really close to Allah and we are using the love triangle where we know Allah is at the top and we have to love Allah (S.W.T) to get close to each other. We both have helped each other to this point that we both pray 5 times a day and we don't miss one single prayer. We pray 20 rakats of taraweeh straight and we wake up for tahajjud as well, which I know I would never do because I have a really deep sleep but alhamdulillah an hour before fajr eyes just open up.
I have completely lost my interest in this world. I swear upon Allah, I am just 18 but I have witnessed so many deaths at a younger age. And I just want to kill myself, but I know it is haram and I am avoiding all the haram work. But I am really fed up with this world and everyone is so much into haram. Literally my parents are avoiding such a beautiful blessing that is knocking at their door and they are stopping me from making something halal and they are making haram easier.
I had a business of my own repairing phones and I was such a good student and loved studying computer science, but ever since I have drawn myself closer to Islam, I am no longer interested in anything anymore. I know that this world is literally an ocean and if we take a bucket and fill it with the oceans water is what we have to take with us on the day of judgement. I am no longer interested in studying anything. I want to become an Islamic teacher or an Ailmah, so that I can spread the word of islam and become a better muslim, because that is the only occupation that will at least bring me closer to my deen and help me in my akhirah.
Please tell me what I should do? Because i really know he is the guy and it’s not about the rizq either because Allah said in the Quran if the person is a character of akhlaq and is a proper Muslim, marry him, i will put barakah in the marriage. And Alhamdulilah he is becoming a better Muslim and we both are helping each other. And we don’t even want to get married right now, we just want to do nikkah and turn things into halal and do it the proper way!
Jazakallah
Hello. This may be a bit long but it’s super personal and it’s affected me throughout a great portion of my life. I’ve never spilled my guts like this before so it’s coming out all at once. I’d appreciate it if you read the whole thing and go through what I went through with me. I’ve had to build up the courage to even make this post.
Ever since I was around 13 when I hit puberty my nose got bigger. A lot bigger. I never cared until I got taunted for it. Now I care a lot. Sometimes when I meet new people after we get close enough to trash talk or friendly banter they ALWAYS comment about my nose. It would be easier to name the friends that didn’t comment on how big my nose is since they would probably be 2 or 3 idk. But I know that the majority of my friends comment about it.
I use the word “comment” to sugarcoat the situation but it was nothing short of humiliation. My aunts make a comment about it almost every week. Last time I showed my aunt a video of my self doing something and she said “I didn’t pay attention to the video I was just looking at your nose”. My own mother. Yes my MOTHER makes fun of my nose. I brush it off like I don’t cry myself to sleep every once in a while about it.
I’m a man. Sure I’m a young man but I hardly cry. I don’t remember the last time I cried but I guarantee you it was due to the humiliation I was getting. I had hardly anyone to vent about this to, not even my mother as she is a major source of my insecurity. I showed her a picture of my self once and she said “it’s mostly a picture of a nose”.
I don’t smile in pictures or laugh in front of others without covering my face since that makes my nose larger and others will switch to laughing at my nose. It’s taking away the fundamentals of my social life. Laughing and smiling. I want anyone reading this to thank allah that they can smile without feeling grossly insecure about it.
I used to have acne so I got on accutane which is a medication that helps get rid of acne but as a side effect it also makes your nose smaller. I got excited when I found this out. I took it for one month and it kind of did get a bit smaller. Even my aunt which takes makes fun of me almost weekly said that it got a bit smaller. I was over the moon. UNTIL I went to do a blood test the next week and found out that my liver enzymes got dangerously high and I need to get off this medication. My nose got big again and the mockery started all over. It was a false hope which in a way was worse than no hope at all as I got used to being hopeless about it. It was a spit in my face. Nothing short of it. I still remember my reaction at the doctors office, I remember her exact words, I even remover what the room smelled like. I can’t forget that day when I was told that I had to get off of the medication. It was horrible and it was all I thought about during long drives home for a month straight. The doctor’s words came out so causally like it didn’t matter that I just got my only hope ripped away from me. It’s like giving a blind man the ability to see but only for 1 day. Juuuussst to let him know what he’s missing out on. It still taunts me to this day but thankfully not nearly as much.
Eh. Why should I bore you with more and more situations. All you should know is that it’s definitely abnormally large. I mean, it better be nothing short of abnormal if that many people taunt me about it.
I always heard that if something is abnormal in your body you can change it. Sure my nose isn’t crooked or with one nostril but it sure is abnormally large.
Is it permissible for someone like me to do a nose job?

I have previously suffered severe OCD episodes and constantly still get waswas about Kufr. When praying Qur'an, I am constantly wary of praying incorrectly by purpose. At one point, I told myself not to pray an empty mouth letter with a full mouth, but when i got to the word, for some reason I prayed with full mouth and seem 90 percent sure that I did this on purpose. I felt regret straight away. Is this kufr, should i repeat Shahadah. Also for future reference, if someone suffers from these waswas, should they ignore every single time they think they may have committed kufr, even if they are 99 percent sure? If it turns out this thing was indeed kufr, but the person did not renew Imaan as they were not entirely certain, what is the ruling on them?
JazakAllah

I have periods which are very regular. However for the last year almost I have been experiencing something new. Two days before I begin bleeding, I will see a spot of blood, it is clear that it is blood, but it is very small sometimes not even the size of a grain. This spotting happens once and thereafter my day will continue with nothing, sometimes even completely white discharge. The next day I will again experience this at a different time and I will have extremely little to no discharge for the entire day.
I generally see the blood whilst making istinjah and it never ends up on my underwear or liner. I would like to know if I should count this as my period or continue to read my salaah and fast?
Salam, I'm asking this question to clear up confusion. After a wet dream, if a woman finds no discharge on her underwear. She then feels the vagina and externally it feels dry. Does she then need to examine herself internally for wetness/discharge? When I don't see any wetness on underwear or externally dry on the vagina, I then start checking inside and it feels moist but how do I know that this is normal vaginal wetness or do I class that as wet dream emission? This is really stressing me out and leading to maybe unnecessary ghusl. Please kindly advise, thank you.

Can I use an ebook which I find on مكتبة النور، مكتبة الشاملة, internet archive?
I sometimes find in the books that in it is written that it's not allowed to reproduce the book in antiform or transform it and different platforms etc but sometimes I find books in which there is no word about this kind of things but it's only really written that all rights are reserved so can I use this kind of book?
For example some days ago I found the book of imam Sharawi, the book of Tawba but I am confused whether to use it or not and it's written that all rights are reserved?
Asslamualaikum
I have a brother who thinks i have done black magic on him to break up his marriage. He sees visions of me doing strange things at night but I am asleep, but he is convinced it Is me. He has cut ties with me and is scared of me and tries to convince the rest of the family I am evil.
I have had 2 dreams of him trying to kill me strangling me with wires from a medical machine in the past week.
I have cancer and my friend has been planning to buy my a hydrogen gas machine to sleep with to help with my cancer and today he showed me the photo of it, i have never seen the machine in real life before.
The strange thing is that this was very very similar to the machine I saw in my dream previously. Bearing in mind I have never come across this machine before I find it very strange that me seeing this machine in my dream was a coincidence.
This machine is very important that could help with my cancer by Allah's mercy however I am scared to accept this machine on my house after seeing dreams of brother trying to kill me with this machine.
1) how can I interpret this dream and situation
2) is it safe for me to bring the machine into the house and use it
no human or jinns know the future so how could I have seen a dream and suddenly few days later my friend is planning to buy the same machine which I have never ever seen in my life previously. In my mind the machine my friend was going to buy was a like a cylinder tank so If I manifested the dream by thinking of it it should have been a cylinder.
Jazakallah
Asalamalaykum
Ramadan Mubarak,
I have been suffering from Schizophrenia for 18 years , extreme wawas, Anxiety due to the death of my mother, I also have asthma ADHD and Depression. My tongue is giving me conflicts thoughts against allah, prophet muhammmad and holy quran, islam, muslim and i will go to jannam. It makes me feel sacred. I have never acted on it. I have been going on and off medication as it makes me feel worse and confused. When I die will I able to go to heaven inshallah. I ready 5 times pray, read holy quran allahmudlliah. I live with my elderly father allahmudlliah he is ok allahmudliah. I just need some clarification and how can i get cured completely. Its very disturbing to me focusing on any duties including prays, reading quran watching tv and shopping do things daily around the home as well.
I’m a student who commutes 51-61 miles (about 1 hour and 15 minutes) each way to and from my university about 3-4 times a week. According to Hanafi fiqh, a person is considered a traveler (musafir) if they travel 48 miles (77 km) or more, but I’ve also heard that frequent travel might not count.
Since I travel this distance and return home each night, does this mean I still qualify as a musafir and can skip fasting, or am I considered a frequent traveler who must fast? It would be less than 15 days.
Would appreciate any insights based on Hanafi rulings. JazakAllah khair!
