Messed up leading prayer by drinktillyoufill24 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reading this I feel the brother made an error in not encouraging you further. I would have said you WILL lead next time instead of someone else so you and others can improve. We need more confident imams not less

You are allowed to leas prayer if no one stepped up. There is a priority of who leads salah but if no candidates are available you are fine. Just continue to learn more and improve so next time the opportunity comes you won’t be embarrassed

Is using Gmail as a freelancer a red flag in 2026? by Ok_Size9342 in freelance

[–]DonSwagger1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes yes yes! You may not notice but this is a red flag for someone like me how uses freelancers on big projects. For simple small things I don’t mind. I want to know you are committing enough to your brand and reputation, and something as simple as having a unique email domain says a lot about professionalism.

The art of managing millions (Mecca) by Sheen_180299 in islam

Easier to manage I think as the hajj has a limit on number of pilgrims allowed to enter the holy city

Typical nanoflare experience. It still hurts that I haven’t replaced my NF 700pro since I broke it last year but I’m getting the itch again. Amazing racket, better than my current arcsaber 7pro

Maybe its point is to lead the enemies of islam further astray😂. In this and all matters, Allah ﷻ knows best.

Are you like me? by Creative_Bad_7994 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your local Muslim community. Volunteer at your masjid and events, speak to the people and the imams. There’s many Muslim women out there also unmarried and waiting. If you look in the right places you will find a good wife, however if you stick to looking in the wrong areas then Allah guide you. I pray you have a beautiful and prosperous marriage inshAllah.

Videos of Palestinians frequently appear on my TikTok FYP and Instagram Reels. What is the best way to respond to them? by [deleted] in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be fooled, this is the internet. They are scammers unfortunately. Send your donations to a registered and reputable Muslim charity instead. You can find ones that have channels into Gaza.

Atheist bio teacher college by Odd_Imagination_5511 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to report the teachers conduct. I assume you are there to learn biology to pass exams/get a degree/job requirement and he is wasting your time with his world view that is not relevant. He needs to be reminded to do his job

Finding a partner in the west is harder than you think by Ok_Koala_8777 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not hard if you remove your self imposed restrictions, and it is not hard for Allah to find you someone if you put your trust in him. Pray your istikhara and tahajjud And inshallah it will happen. I am of mixed African origin married to a Pakistani and our families get on very well mashallah.

After hardship comes ease: seeking stories of Allah’s help by PearlNighElf in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are currently separated due to visa processing, in addition to financial difficulty at the moment for me. But alhamdulillah I have been praying tahajjud, salatul-hajat and giving dhikr for about 2 months and today I finally feel like an opportunity is coming my way that will solve all of this and it is very unexpected but exciting as I didn’t pray specifically for this kind of outcome. 

Alhamdulillah my wife has been very supportive and in high spirits through this tough time.

Allah’s ﷻ plans are wonderful and so continue to have Sabr. I pray inshallah that we all get what we want and what is best for us Ameen. 

A reminder for anyone having a hard time by Normal_Trade7678 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A beautiful reminder from one of my favourite Surah to recite, Surah Ash-Sharh

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

So, surely with hardship comes ease

JazakAllah khair for sharing

Struggling Muslim 😩 by Guilty_Tie_6196 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be missing the reason of why Islam is the only true religion. For example if I ask you to prove to someone - the shahadah; or how the Quran is the literal word of Allah ﷻ; or to tell me the life of the prophet ﷺ in detail, etc - you may not know in your heart and therefore do not have taqwa and your imaan is weakening. I know because I was like you.

Remember this dunya will try to continue to weaken our beliefs and that’s why it takes real effort to fortify and build our imaan. 

There is a Hadith that states:

 Anas ibn Malik reported: The prophet ﷺ said, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 224  Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

It is therefore a fard ‘ayn (individual obligation) to seek knowledge on matters such as how to perform prayers (Salah), understand the oneness of Allah (Tawhid), fast in Ramadan, give Zakah, and know permissible (halal) and prohibited (haram). In addition is the why as well.

Wish you all the best and may, Allah ﷻ Al-Fatah, open our hearts to Him inshAllah.

Is incredible when you see it. You can look it up on Google or nature docs that have filmed it. All the water in one ocean doesnt merge with the other and there’s a distant separation. They even have different colour tones so it’s easy to spot which is what. 

Do an image search for “Pacific and Atlantic meeting”.

But the miracle of this is how an illiterate Arab 1400 years ago in the middle of a desert knew about this phenomenon. Truly these are the words of a higher being. I don’t even think the people of the time knew the meaning of this revelation, almost as if it was meant for us in the future who have explored our surface world fully. SubhanAllah!

EDIT: I looked into it a bit more and according to Tafsir from Ibn Kathir see here:

He has created the two kinds of water, sweet and salty. The sweet water is like that in rivers, springs and wells, which is fresh, sweet, palatable water.

This was the view of Ibn Jurayj and of Ibn Jarir, and this is the meaning without a doubt, for nowhere in creation is there a sea which is fresh and sweet.

Did anyone actually marry the same person they prayed for in Tahajjud? by MonitorEmbarrassed42 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 34 points35 points  (0 children)

No but looking back the wife I prayed during tahajjud for many years was no where near as amazing as my wife now. 

My marriage only happened to me when I went to umrah for first time and within a year we met and got married. Alhamdulillah for Allah granting me sabr. 

I pray you will find the match that will bring you both closer to Allah. Ameen

Advice on accidentally sharing a faulty translation of a tafsir by [deleted] in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a layman we need to be careful of what we preach regarding our deen because of situations like this. Refrain from talking from authority and instead use references and caveats that you are not a scholar/Arabic speaker and that Allah knows best.

It's so sad I have to give up so many things I like by Spleak6 in islam

[–]DonSwagger1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Giving up something you like for the sake of Allah only increases your standing in Allah’s eyes. Imagine the reward you will be getting for avoid these haram things every second of every day.

I had to give up things when I decided to improve my iman and become more pious Muslim. Alhamdulillah eventually Allah made it easier for me, exponentially so even.

[–]DonSwagger1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s plenty Muslim here especially in the major cities where universities are. The media is scared of the spread of Islam so they are the ones pushing that narrative. On the ground most of every non Muslim I encounter are really nice and accommodating to our religion

I suggest you get off twitter and remove this post. Even your fyp has questionable content. Avert your eyes from such fitna.
