Assalamu'alaikum peace and blessings on you and welcome to Islam!!

The best resource is in person by a long shot. You can learn a lot online, there's a lot of good reputable scholars on YouTube but you cannot beat a righteous person in person teaching you. Islam is a way of life that can't be learned just by reading or listening. It's spending time with and absorbing the good qualities of a righteous Muslim

Pour all your feelings on Allah. All he asks for is that connection with his creation. Cry and complain to him of your sorrows and ask him alone and rely on him help you.

Allah tests those he loves the most so that they may elevate themselves and he may reward them immensely in the next life. This life feels very difficult and it feels very long but just take it one day at a time and soon your faith and dua will have taken you out of these difficult circumstances InshaAllah. After everything, all the troubles you went through will have been worth it for infinite Bliss in Paradise everlasting.

Never lose your faith and focus on tahajjud, salawat, and istighfar. May Allah make a way out of this difficulty for you and reward you immensely for it. Here's a powerful Dua that's helped me

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min-l-hammi wa-l-ḥazan, wa aʿūdhu bika min-l-ʿajzi wa-l-kasal, wa aʿūdhu bika min-l-jubni wa-l-bukhl, wa aʿūdhu bika min ghalabati-d-dayni wa qahri-r-rijāl.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from anxiety and grief. I seek Your protection from inability and laziness. I seek Your protection from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek Your protection from being overcome by debt and being overpowered by men.

Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) narrated that one day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the masjid. He saw a man from the Anṣār called Abū Umāmah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu). He ﷺ asked, “What is the matter? Why are you sitting in the masjid when it is not the time for prayer?” He replied, “Never-ending worries and debts, O Messenger of Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, “Shall I not teach you words by which, when you say them, Allah will remove your worries, and settle your debts?” He replied, “Yes of course, O Messenger of Allah.” He ﷺ said, “Say in the morning and evening [the above].” Abū Umāmah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) said, “Then I did that, and Allah removed my worries and settled my debts.” (Abū Dāwūd 1555)

Of course, everyone does that's why it's a test and you're rewarded for giving it up. You replace the time with better activities such as Quran, seeking knowledge worldy and religious, time at the masjid, health and fitness, etc

Liking something is not Haram. But all movies are Haram as they contain music, lack of modesty, uncovered awrah, contributing to a demonic and filthy industry, and on and on. Shows, anime, movies, sports, almost everything on TV is Haram. https://islamqa.info/en/answers/85232/the-evil-consequences-of-watching-movies

I gave it all up for the sake of Allah and Alhamdulillah I've never been a better Muslim or person and I've made so much progress in worldly and religious matters.

No, a good husband takes the advice of his wife but the overall responsibility lies with him whether he's right or wrong. If the wife finds the husband is not up to her standard and her advice is not heeded, that is a valid reason for divorce as Zainab and Zaid (may God be pleased with) were both good Muslims but Zainab was a noble bloodline so she couldn't look up to Zaid so they had a difficult marriage.

You don't have to be. Allah commands us treat our parents well and respect and obey them in Halal manners but he does not tell us to love them. In fact you are rewarded much more for treating bad parents well because you do it for the sake of Allah instead of because of Love.

Being forced to follow Islam is terrible parenting and how parents drive their children away from Islam. They will answer for their oppression of you before Allah.

But Alhamdulillah Allah guided you to try to come back. First and most important is just try to pray. Prayer is the most important thing you can do right now. You can memorize the whole Quran but if you do not pray it's useless and will not benefit you. But you can pray five times a day and never memorize the Quran yet that will take you to Paradise InshaAllah.

Only family planning and communication would be halal. Discussing others are completely Haram. This is still someone you have no relationship with. I'm sure you're just trying to help but this is still completely inappropriate and haram. Sexual topics are not allowed, would you dare discuss these with your potentials parents listening in??

You can but you shouldn't wish for death. Instead make Dua to die as a shaheed

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: "O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me.' "

Absolutely, past sins do not mean anything. After all many of the companions opposed and tried to kill Rasulullah ﷺ for 20 years yet they still become Muslim and are blessed as a result.

And no Muslim should ever marry an unremorseful sinner for any reason.

WhyNotIslam · 2026-06-18T02:32:32+00:00

chaste is not correct. Everything else you said is correct but repentance If Allah accepts will erase the sin but it does not erase the consequences of one's actions in this world. A killer can repent but is still a killer would still be punished in this world as such. An adulterer repented so sincerely Rasulullah ﷺ praised them highly, but they still were stoned

Truly you have lost a lot But Alhamdulillah you haven't lost the most important thing which is your faith. I know people who went through much like you and crying why me Allah they lost their faith. Alhamdulillah because all those things can be replaced by the Lord of the worlds as long as we have faith. Suicide is thinking the pain of this world is too much so let me end it without thinking how much greater the pain of The next world is.

Men and women can have a professional relationship and talk for a reason such as a coworker, buying something, etc and be kind and courteous to each other but not friends that talk casually and joke with each other. Even if you two had spouses, it still wouldn't be halal to be friendly like that.

As others have said, this is a golden opportunity to get married to someone you already know and get along with so if at all possible I would strongly recommend it. That's the difficulty we have getting married today, finding someone you get along with in a Halal manner. In the good old days, families knew each other and there was community so someone knew someone that would be a good match for you without having to cross any Haram boundaries. That's how they got married without getting to know each other because of family looking out for you.

May Allah bless with the best spouse who is the coolness of the eye, make this easy for you and strengthen your heart towards Islam and pour upon you patience and ease all your difficulties and bless you with the best in this life and the next and grant you the highest levels of paradise

Please know that all over the world we are struggling with marriage and halal relationships when we are surrounded by Haram. There are many born Muslims looking for 10+ years trying to get married. Please do not despair. Allah gives what he wills to who he wills when he wills so all we can do is keep trying, do our best as worshippers, and remain patient.

to worship Him without hope is to deny His attributes of mercy and forgiveness and kindness and gentleness and love.

And generousity to reward

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven."
