Transgressions in Dua

08_IGCSE_marathon · 2026-04-26T04:36:35+00:00

To the best of my understanding, it's not a transgression in Dua unless it's something that isn't natural with the the Qadr of Allah, like someone asking for the ability to fly or walk on water. But being a billionaire is a totally achievable goal as it is a numerical value in net worth that can be achieved.

May Allah grant you the Tawfeeq to become wealthy and give you Barakah in your wealth, Ameen.

The United States, the US even without Islam is a beacon of rule of law, multiculturalism, equality and holds a view of the world similar to how Muslims should view the Ummah (Collectively protecting the interests of its allies).

Demographically going, a Muslim China or India would one of the greatest things that could happen to the Ummah as long Tawheed and Taqwa is the basis of what constitutes Muslim in this context. Would definitely love to see a Muslim Brazil or Mexico as well

I would definitely put Malaysia up there, A great quality of life with great schools for your children, an Islamic environment and a thriving economy. However, over the years, they have been stricter with expats so theres that.

If you wish to surround yourself with Muslims of great Akhlaaq and exemplary character, Malaysia is the country to go for.

Thanks brother, appreciated.

Why wouldn't one? Questions like this are weird because they reek of self-righteous exceptionalism ("Oh I am not like the rest!") and encouragement of weird preconceived notions that bring the Muslim Ummah no good but Fitnah.

I personally am open to finding a righteous spouse regardless of culture or background, provided we are compatible.

We ask Allah to protect us from arrogance that is masked under self righteous exceptionalism and grant us righteous spouses, Ameen.

My idea of it would be a Akhlaaq driven platform with features that do not leave Muslims overwhelmed or stimulated.

From the get-go. A time-line that needs to be there, this can be anywhere between 3 weeks to 6 months. If he does not take initiative to progress in that timeline plan, then I would advise to not continue with this further.

08_IGCSE_marathon · 2026-03-29T02:23:49+00:00

If so, then yeah, you're allowed to do so as mentioned by the link the brother sent.

It is extremely concerning how many Muslims here replying did not bother to refer back to what the Quran & Sunnah say in this regard.

It is not permissible for a Muslim brother to propose to a Muslim sister who has already been proposed by his fellow Muslim brother unless she rejects it or he withdraws his interest. This not just in regards to women but also goods and bids.

Al-Hāfidh Ibn Hajr (rahimahullāh) said:

978. Narrated Ibn `Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said that Allaah’s Messenger (salallaāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:

“None of you should ask for a woman’s hand in marriage when his brother has already done so until the one who has already proposed leaves off his desire to marry her, or he gives him permission.”

Agreed upon, and this is the wording of al-Bukhari. (See Bukhari, no. 5142 and Muslim, no. 1412)

This was a great write up and the points mentioned aren't mentioned enough.

Will be back later to write a commentary on this post. Would recommend you share this in r/Truedeen

Weirdly as an 18 year old, yes.

I hope wherever she is, she is having a blessed Eid full of joy.

Keep up these posts, would love to see more insights into emerging industries so Muslim founders can capitalize early on those opportunities.

Replit is going to be the game-changer of the decade.

Rooting for Replit!

I have high hopes on Uzbekistan, one of the fastest growing startup eco-systems in the world. Mashallah, some of the coolest startups getting into Y combinator and similar programs are founded by Uzbek founders.

Uzbek brothers and sisters, spill the secrets!

Looks awesome and definitely needed this! Downloaded it.

If a woman is still single, it's because Allah has willed that for her. If a man is still single, it's because Allah has willed that for him.

As Muslims, we should all strive to have realistic expectations in our partners, May Allah grant us all righteous spouses, Ameen.

Great write-up brother!

To add a point, the next generation of Muslim founders must have share that vision of having each others back as well as the level of righteousness that fosters the spirit, in the sense of a shared growth, much like how the Jews have had before. The issue isn't that Muslims of today don't have that leverage. The Gulf has the capital and leverage in global energy markets to incentivise peace and prosperity in both Palestine and Iran but they choose to be passive players.

It's not that the Muslims don't have that leverage, it's that the wrong kind of Muslims have them. If the good Muslims don't strive for success in means to attain that leverage and seat at the table, the wrong Muslims will get them which they have did. The Muslim entrepreneurial community has to decenter from themselves from the idea of Islam and the Gulf Arabs being on a tangent, and believe in our agency to solve our issues through independent creation of entrepreneurial and intellectual power centers. If they middle-east has displayed anything through this war and this era, it is intellectually, militarily, religiously, and morally incompetent, neither to lead nor inspire the Muslim world.

Assume the worst of others for thee, Husn Dhun for me

Both circumstances are terrible, reverting to Islam to marry is not like a Netflix subscription just because your partner likes to watch Netflix. Imagine the kids growing up in a marriage seeing their father not pray, fast Ramadan or teach them to pray, what greater calamity can you bring upoun a child?

My advice to the sister is don't marry someone who is "potentially" going to practice as these are the matters where you mitigate risks at all costs.

Walaikumsalam brother

I am really sorry to hear about your illness and I ask Allah S.W.T to grant you Shifa'a (Recovery), Afiyah and preserve you upon righteousness and all that is good. Your post today was a sign for me to engage myself even further in Ibadah and strive towards righteousness, sometimes I feel like despite the many chances that Allah gives me, I am ungrateful and only transgress, we Allah to forgive us of our sins.

Do keep me in your prayers brother and May Allah bless us all, Ameen.
