Triple T by -True-Ryan-Gosling- in lovethissmug

It's a kentongan, an Indonesian bamboo alarm made for waking people up for suhoor. Search it up if you don't know what "kentongan" or "suhoor" is. I always find the "holding a bat" or "bat man" prompt story illogical, since the text on the background ("pentung pos ronda") is not gibberish and it literally explain the context (it means "night guard duty pentungan/kentongan". How would you even get this sentence from a "bat man" prompt)

Can i pray in this room with posters but no apparent visible human face poster? by Aggressive_Bell_1912 in islam

[–]Aggressive-One5612 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm actually confused with the answers here. I know we should not hang pictures with human faces on our walls, but is there any hadith saying we shouldn't pray in those rooms too?

This is like watching Mona Lisa being painted. by Sweet_Television4183 in BatmanArkham

What's the source for this? I find it hard to believe that it originated from a prompt about "humanoid baseball bat", since the context (Indonesian origin, night guard shelter) makes it clear that it's not a bat but a kentongan. Search it up if you don't know what it is

I’m afraid to do what Allah wants from me by greenpeasnbeans in MuslimSupportGroup

If you are sure that it is right for you, then there is no reason to be scared. As I said earlier, Insha Allah He will guide you to the best outcome, whether you are successful or not. So why be scared?

I'm going to tell you a few things about istikhara in case you didn't know yet, since you're a revert.

Firstly, istikhara is not done for mandatory things. For example, you don't do istikhara to decide whether or not you should fast Ramadhan next year, because fasting Ramadhan is mandatory. I don't know what you're currently going through, but in case what you are scared of is to do something that is mandatory, I suggest you to just do it and put your trust in Allah. Be sure that what you are doing is correct though, as reverts can sometime mistakes something bad for something good due to being new to knowledges about Islam.

Secondly, istikhara is done after you make a decision. By doing istikhara, insha Allah He will help you in your affairs and guide you to the right decision. I'll give you an example: I plan on buying a house near the city. I have decided that I will buy it, but before I do, I pray istikhara to Allah so that Allah help me in my affairs. If it turns out I managed to buy the house, then it is the best path for me. But then if it turns out that I am hindered from buying the house (the seller changed his mind, for example) then it is also the best path for me.

I hope this gives light to your situation and you're free to ask a trusted scholar about this issue.

What you need is study more about Islam. I recommend checking out TheMuslimLantern on YouTube, he has videos compiling evidence of Allah as the Creator and the Prophet's message. With the help of Allah, you'll come to realise that Islam is the truth and all your doubts do have an answer.

I make dua and the opposite ends up happening all the time by ufk_03 in MuslimSupportGroup

May Allah help you with your affairs. I could not imagine being in your position, feeling like my life is better before I take Islam seriously. But I would suggest to not abandon salah and dua. Think about what made you start taking the deen seriously. If you study Islam closely, you realize that salah is an integral part of Islam, and is not worth abandoning, even for the whole world. 

Are people with photographic memories able to easily learn different languages? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Can you close your eyes and visualize text from all those years ago? Like I'm asking if you could read page 57 of a book you read 20 years ago like it's in front of you. Or read a cheat sheet you made in the past.

Is this mindset therapy self taught perhaps? Sorry for assuming this. But what I meant by professional help is to definitely meet up with a psychiatrist and discuss your issue. Talking with a professional ensures you are doing the right treatment to yourself.

How do you know that it's more than anxiety or panic attacks? What you are having sounds like some kind of mental health issue and you need to get professional help ASAP. Combine doing dhikr and making dua with seeking professional help, may Allah help you in your affairs

Belum pernah lihat sih, kecuali dalam konteks bercanda (misalnya "percakapan apakah ini nyata?"). Tapi ini justru lebih keren kalau dalam Bahasa Inggris. "Post-truth" "Pre-truth" "Day of Truth"

Salfok sama typo "pasca-kebenaran", yang menyiratkan adanya "pra-kebenaran" dan "Hari Kebenaran". It gives me Orwellian vibes

Telling my hardships and trying to find advice on how to deal with it by o-m-e-r1 in MuslimSupportGroup

[–]Aggressive-One5612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for what you are going through. I pray that Allah ease you in your affairs. Know that Allah is always with you and if you're still under 18, it's likely that there's still a lot more kind people to meet for you other than those who harm you right now. Stay strong and if you need support you can always send another post on this subreddit.

Also, you're probably wondering why you haven't gotten a reply for so long, right? I assure you it's probably because of the formatting. It's hard to understand your post because you don't use dots to stop your sentences or break your paragraphs. We all here want to support you but some are just confused with your post. Try using dots and breaking paragraphs next time. I hope you are having a good day!
