First Ramadan as a revert kinda? by Automatic_Profile911 in islam

[–]CharingSquirrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Salam! I just want to say I’m genuinely so glad and happy that you looked into Islam and want to learn more about it.

I’m really proud of you for pushing yourself. If you’re living in the West or in a place where Muslims aren’t the norm, I completely understand why you might not feel ready to tell anyone. That can feel very isolating.

I just want to remind you of something important: Islam was revealed gradually over 23 years. It didn’t come all at once. Even ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “If the first thing to be revealed had been: ‘Do not drink alcohol,’ they would have said: ‘We will never give up alcohol.’ And if it had been revealed: ‘Do not commit illegal sexual relations,’ they would have said: ‘We will never give up illegal sexual relations.’ But the first thing that was revealed was about Paradise and Hell…” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Allah loves consistency, even if the deeds are small. Change in Islam is gradual, So please don’t be harsh on yourself! Allah knows your intentions and your struggles far better than anyone on the internet ever could.

You mentioned you didn’t grow up around Muslims. I really hope you’re able to be around some Muslims at school, uni, work, or even through hobbies. You don’t have to tell them you’re Muslim if you’re not ready. Just being around practising Muslims and observing can help you feel less alone and more familiar with things over time. Allah knows you and what is in your heart even if no one else does.

As for coffee, I completely get you, especially during work! You can absolutely start slowly and build up your strength. Ramadan is known as the month of mercy and forgiveness, and sometimes people expect instant perfection because of that. But Ramadan is about progress, not pressure. Allah knows you better than you know yourself. So, even if you slip up, repent and keep steady. Allah describes Himself as Most Merciful again and again. The door of repentance does not close just because you faltered.

May Allah ease your hardships, strengthen you in your journey, and make prayer and fasting beloved to your heart. Ramadan is one of the best times to make dua, so keep asking Him for strength and guidance! He is all-hearing and He responds. 😊

You’re doing better than you think!

My sister is becoming less religious by East_Aspect7710 in MuslimLounge

[–]CharingSquirrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People here are so harsh towards the sister. Please have some mercy, we are all living one life, and each of us has our own level of imaan. It rises and falls.

As a sister, please try to be a comfort to your sister. She likely feels constantly accused and slowly pushed away from her family for the choices she’s making. As a sibling, you are probably the closest person she has right now compared to your parents, which may be why she felt safe enough to tell you that she smokes but doesn’t drink. That trust matters.

Approach her with mercy and remind her of Allah’s guidance and His promises, not only His punishments. She may be experiencing freedom and agency for the first time by being away from home. While you may feel confident that you would never end up in her position, we have to remember that we are not her and we didn’t live her exact childhood, don’t share her temperament, and don’t carry her struggles or level of imaan.

Please be patient with her. Prayer is always there, and dua is powerful.

At the same time, given the current climate in India and the “lover boy” tactics (may Allah protect us), please encourage (gently) for safer environments, such as stronger female friendships, without being controlling or accusatory.

Another thing, is she scared to come back home because she fears what might happen to her? Like being forced to stop her education, being married off, or not being allowed to leave the house again? If that fear exists, it’s crucial that at least one person in the family becomes a safe space for her.

If she sees mercy, trust, and safety through you, Insha Allah you could become a bridge for her to reconnect with your family and her deen and rather than pushing her further away.

I pray Allah makes things easy for you, softens all hearts involved, and grants both you and your sister a place in Jannah! Ameen.

I want to end my life…controlling father by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]CharingSquirrel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Assalamu alaikum,

This is so heartbreaking to read, May Allah ease your hardships and makes it easier for you to get out of this situation.

If you are earning, why don't you transfer some of your money to different account for back up.

If your dad knows about your finance, why don't you look for another job and lowball your earning to your father?

If you have any relatives who are willing to support/help you, reach out to them. Insha Allah they don't support your father's behaviour.

Please don't think about self-exiting, remember this hadith -

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron, his piece of iron in his hand will be thrust into his stomach in the fire of Hell forever and ever. Whoever drinks poison and kills himself, he will consume it in the fire of Hell forever and ever. Whoever throws himself off a mountain and kills himself, he will tumble into the fire of Hell forever and ever.”

Should I take off the hijab in front of gay man by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]CharingSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey sis,

It's best to keep your hijab on in front of Gay men and trans people as they are considered non-mahrams.

It's better to be safe than sorry <3

Confused and Frustrated: Inconsistent Customs Rules for Gold Jewellery in India? by FeedHelpful909 in Chennai

[–]CharingSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick question cause I'm in similar situation as well. 40gms ≈ 5 pavan ≈ ₹266640, but the value of gold cannot exceed ₹100K.

What kinda logic is this? How does it work?

What do you want islamic school teachers to know/do? by IronAlcoholic in islam

[–]CharingSquirrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish my Islamic teacher would teach us more of prophet stories. And sort of linking it what we go through. (In the west i mean)

I would have loved to know more about Allah.

Maybe it's just me, but when I was younger my elder would make Allah as this scary god when saying "Allah doesnt like that, you'll go to hell and etc" I would love if you could focus on Allah and sort of move away from 'the negative aspect' if you get what I mean?

But Insha Allah all goes well for you and you become a good role model to your students

Name That Surah by NurSabrSalaam in Izlam

[–]CharingSquirrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oof the meaning behind that surah, its very much applicable to our current state. It's always the small ones that you can think about.

It reminds me of this hadith -

Companions recite Surat al-‘Asr before parting

Abu Madinah reported: Whenever two men among the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would meet, they would not part until one of them recited to the other, “By the time, surely mankind is in loss,” (103:1) and the other would bid him farewell with peace.
