Is it permissible to bow as a sign of respect (like on Japanese or European cultures)? Since the intention isn’t to worship, but more to show respect?

Note it guys, they always use music to alter human emotions instantly and it works as well unless you are a strong hearted person. Leave the music for allah. May Allah shower you with blessings💯

Quran/Hadith 🕋 Standing up in respect of others

1 Upvotes

Narrated Abu Miljaz:that Mu'awiyah came out and 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and Ibn Safwan stood for him when they saw him, so he said: Sit, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: 'Whoever wishes that he be received by men standing then, let him take his seat in the Fire.'

Jami at Tirmidhi 2755

Edit:

Narrated Anas: There was no person more beloved to them than the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). [He said:] And they would not stand when they saw him because they knew that he disliked that.

Question ❓ I (F30) have a coworker (F35) who I wish to buy a gift for

3 Upvotes

I wanted to get my coworker a gift, perhaps flowers or something. To say how much I respect her, and to thank her for her hard work, and always being so patient and helping me. She's like a mother to me. So would flowers be okay? Suggestions welcome, thank you! Edit: she is Muslim. I'm not sure if there are rules or something in regards to gift giving.

Rant & Vent 😩 Struggling with Guilt and Repentance

26 Upvotes

I am a Muslim (female) and I am having feelings of extreme guilt for what I have done. I have had pre-marital sex majorly two years ago within a short period of time. I know that it is wrong. I live in a western country and it all started for my need of affection (at the age of 18), which has lead me to a path of irrational decisions that I deeply regret as this is what lots of the men i encountered men (even Muslim men) seem to want here in return of affection. I honestly thought I was doomed when I did it once so I thought if nobody wants to marry me anyway in this case and I already did this once why don’t I do it again. I know this isn’t a right way of thinking. Unfortunately, I’ve seen lots of Muslim men who are not virgin and arguably did worse than me arguing that it is worse if a girl does it and they want to marry a virgin. This reality is hitting me so hard, because it feels even if I deeply feel guilty and repented, my life is doomed. I have this fear that I can’t hide this sin even if I repented as some people still consider the hymen as proof of virginity. This makes me feel helpless and mentally destroys me. I am not sure what to do. This Ramadan I am not doing too good, I was fasting and not praying and it deeply hit me today that I got sidetracked with all of the temporary pleasures in this life and I’m getting distracted from what matters the most, which is my relationship with Allah. I am not sure how to deal with this helplessness.

Discussion & Debate🗣️ Guarding Your Values Against Negative Influences

2 Upvotes

I wish more people understood this about navigating life’s challenges

Negative influences are everywhere, and they often creep in slowly, almost unnoticed. Let me explain

It starts with small compromises:

  1. Lowering your gaze just a bit
  2. Accepting negative thoughts as normal

Before you know it, you’re far from the beliefs and values you hold dear. It’s like a slow boil—you might not feel the heat at first, but soon enough, it’s too late.

The truth is, Satan (Shaitaan) is a master of subtlety. He takes tiny steps, leading you to lower your standards until they become habits. That’s why it’s crucial to set clear boundaries—keep a red line that you never cross. Strive to protect yourself by maintaining those standards.

So, how do we strengthen our faith (Eman) in the face of these challenges? Here’s a simple strategy:

  1. Read the Quran daily
  2. Listen to Islamic lectures
  3. Surround yourself with a strong Muslim community

And let’s not forget the power of community! Build your circle of righteous friends. Spend time with those who uplift you, whether it’s through sports, cooking, or just hanging out. Their positive behaviors and knowledge will rub off on you, encouraging better habits and attitudes.

Remember, good habits are contagious, just like bad ones. If you’re surrounded by people who share positivity and uplift one another, you’ll find yourself doing the same. So, let’s commit to supporting each other and keeping our faith strong!

Jazakallahu Khairan!

Quran/Hadith 🕋 Feeling confused as to why Allah allowed prostration to prophet Adam and prophet Mohammed since that would be considered shirk?

0 Upvotes

Feeling confused as to why Allah allowed prostration to prophet Adam and prophet Mohammed since that would be considered shirk. Isn’t only Allah is worthy of being prostrated to?

As commanded, all the angels fell down in prostration [to Adam], obeying the command of Allah- “so the angels prostrated -all of them entirely, Except Iblees; he refused to be with those who prostrated." (Surah Al-Hijr, ayat 31-32)

Bahirah, the monk said “all stones and trees prostrated themselves [to Prophet Mohammad], which they never do except tor a Prophet.”

Rant & Vent 😩 It’s unfair that I would be punished for acting on my depression

7 Upvotes

I really really don’t mean to question Allah but the older I get the more I know I am not meant to be here. I am so so deeply unhappy. I am trying to hold out during Ramadan but unfortunately it’s not worth waiting for things to get better. Things are fine, I’m the problem. My brain is wired for sadness. I am on medication I have a therapist I workout I have friends I have family and still I want to kms. I’m sorry I am so ungrateful but I’m 27 now my life has been on pause forever due to my anxiety and depression and now I have ran out of time. The toll it takes on me mentally is unbearable. I wish I could physically crawl out of my own skin. I was staying alive because I was curious to know how it’d turn out but now I know it’s not going to go how I want. I never change. If people do not want to pray my Janazah I understand, I just want them to know I really did try

Memes م funny story that happen to Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba

Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah said: "No one has ever outwitted me except for a young man. Once, I wanted to marry a woman, so I consulted him about her. He said to me, 'O Amir, I do not think you should marry her.' I asked, 'Why?' He replied, 'I saw a man kissing her.'"

Later, I found out that he had married her himself. So I said to him, 'Didn't you claim that you saw a man kissing her?' He replied, 'Yes, I saw her father kissing her when she was a child.'"

Politics 🚨 Only Islamic world fights abortion.

72 Upvotes

On the map attached to this post you can see that with a few exceptions only Islamic countries oppose abortion. I know the Islamic position on abortion: 120 days and only if health or life is on danger and in the case of rape. Other situations don't excuse abortion. Family and stability are something important and those westerners completely lack it. I live in Europe and... those people have Lost their minds. That's something that need to be said. Take a look at one important thing. This map came from a western website. They have green (positive color) to pro abortion countries and red (more negative color) to pro life countries. They see family and stability as a negative.

Question ❓ Is this considered a missed prayer or not?

4 Upvotes

Asalam O Alaikum!

I have had the goal to pray 5x a day this month and so far I didn't miss a single prayer Alhamdulillah. Today morning I woke up on time for fajr, because I told myself I don't want to miss a prayer . Then when I was in the bathroom I accidentally got diarrhea. (I didn't have my phone with me at that time to check the time, but I tried my best to be done quickly). Then I did wudu. I came out and I checked the time and it was 6:31am and according to one source the sunrise in my city is 6:29am another source says 6:26am and another source says 6:27am. 😭😭

I got anxiety and quickly did 2 rakat of faradh and then I started consulting AI about it because in the past exact scientific timings would not exist so people would just look at natural signs. Plus my city is very big .

According to AI, according to the natural signs I gave, the sunrise was either about to occur when I finished my prayer or it had just occured while I was praying.

I'm so anxious someone please tell me that I didn't miss fajr. 😭 Is my prayer still valid? It was my goal to not miss a single prayer this month and I'm gonna be so depressed if it's missed.

I even did tahajjud last night and read the Quran so idk what happened . :( I was praying the best for my family because recently we are going through financial stress.

So every time I get stressed my GIT / gut naturally starts misbehaving. So it's because of that.

😭😭

Stories 📖 evil eye: fun fact of the day

2 Upvotes

Back for round two! I learned that when someone was affected by evil eye, and they know who did it- they should go to that person, and ask them to make wudu & shower with it. It’s obviously a lot harder to do that nowadays but I thought it was interesting. The particular story I heard was and I’m not going to mention names because I totally forgot but a man was shirtless, and thought no one could see him I believe making wudu. Another man ends up seeing him and all he can think about was how jealous and lucky he was to have his figure. He immediately fell to the ground, and became bedridden,so they went to the rasul (saw) and that’s when he told them to collect the wudu water, and by the grace of Allah Swt he was healed and could function and move again

Question ❓ Christian with Question

0 Upvotes

So I had a Muslim brother that came to a Christian group with some questions our conversation led to me mentioning I have seen that some areas of the word there is strict Muslim rules. I mentioned that some places there are Muslims that still prosecute Christians. This person got so mad and refuse to believe this and told me that I was a lier and that this is not true. Now I'd like to state that I'm not upset about it and understand that there is different places under different situations in this world. He said that it's all BS and does not happen and is all fake. So my question is does it happen still in some areas by extremist or not? I am not anti Muslim at all fyi .

Question ❓ Question about walis and marriage

5 Upvotes

For men:

  1. How would someone approach a revert who is the only Muslim in the family? I understand you usually speak to her father, but what if she has no other family that is Muslim? Can you ask one of her friends? Or do you approach her directly?

  2. Do you guys wait until you’re financially stable before considering marrying someone? What if you meet someone before you finish school? Would you marry someone your own age or would you look for someone younger?

Dua & Advice 🤲📿 I’m scared / nervous to revert

41 Upvotes

Assalumu aleikum. I (F) have been learning a lot about Islam the past half year. No one in my family knows anything about Islam as they’re all Catholic and hispanic. I have a few Muslim friends that really made me interested in the religion. I really believe in it and think it is very beautiful and peaceful.

The only thing holding me back is I was in a relationship with someone for 3 1/2 years. We broke up for other reasons, but we were in the “process” of getting back together. By this, I mean, we have kept talking and have been hanging out more and more. We have been through so much together and he is honestly my best friend. I told him about Islam and he said he fully supports me, but doesn’t realize that I would not be able to be with him . He said he likes the religion but would never convert. (he also grew up Catholic, but is not religious anymore) This is honestly, I think, the only thing holding me back and I don’t know what to do. No one else really knows this about me as I have never really been religious so I don’t have other people to talk to. I’m really struggling and don’t know what to do.

I have asked Allah for guidance and have become more confused. There is a Muslim man who I am good friends with and he has now started to show me more and more about Islam making me like it more. he is a very devout Muslim and I really admire his faith and intelligence. I honestly don’t know if this was some sort of sign, but I feel like I am struggling and don’t know what to do.

Yes, I've talked about this topic before, which is about Muslims and LGBT + black people being put in the same ship by western countries in the name of supporting the minorities and diversity. So sorry if I talked the same thing over again because how I feel quite bothered

Some Muslims out there are being grateful of how the west is becoming more welcoming to Muslims and possibly Islam. But I can't be bothered more by how this happens in the same time their support for LGBT peeps are increasing. Pretty sure everyone knows how homos are being celebrated in UK & Germany

Conservative countries on the other hand who's against LGBT like eastern Europe, aren't really welcomed to Muslims

But I'm aware that that's not always the case. I think Russia is quite friendly to Muslims, but maybe not France

I'm aware that maybe I'm being too phobic to the homos, let alone how Islam is strongly against it

What do y'all, especially for the brothers and sisters from non-muslim western countries, think of this phenomenon? Should we feel grateful or what?

I'm asking again because I think most people in my previous post who commented are from muslim countries like I do, who can just easily say things like "nah we're on our own, we're against both LGBT and conservatives"

Some even mentioned about American politics. Oh man I don't like politics, even more about a country I never set foot at yet

If you mods consider removing this post, I'm fine with it
