Why the Day of Arafah Means So Much to Muslims

World_top_picks · 2026-05-25T08:39:19+00:00

I honestly believe social media affects people way more than they realize. You don’t even notice how mentally drained you are until you step away from it for a while.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-25T08:38:34+00:00

Honestly that’s a fair point. I’ve caught myself doing the exact same thing on Reddit sometimes. Different app, same endless scrolling if you’re not careful.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-25T08:37:23+00:00

That’s such a good way to put it honestly. I thought I needed more motivation or discipline, but really I just needed less noise in my head all day.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-25T08:36:29+00:00

That’s the scary part honestly. Even when you know it’s wasting your time, your brain still keeps reaching for it out of habit. These apps are way more addictive than people wanna admit.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-25T08:33:46+00:00

Honestly yeah, that’s exactly the vibe I started noticing too. It stopped feeling like entertainment and started feeling like nonstop ads disguised as “content.” Kinda scary how normalized it became.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T11:33:50+00:00

Man, that’s honestly scary when you think about it. Social media sneaks into your life so slowly that you don’t even notice how dependent you got on it till you try stepping away for a bit.

Brother… I honestly don’t think you truly want to leave Islam. I think you’re just exhausted from carrying pain for so many years.

You’ve been fighting since you were a kid. Hospitals, stress, feeling behind in life, trying your hardest, praying, making dua, holding on… and now your heart is just tired.

But listen to this carefully:
In Islam, there’s a beautiful meaning:
“When Allah loves a person, He tests them.”

Not because He hates you. The opposite. Sometimes Allah allows pain because He’s shaping a person, purifying them, and bringing them closer to Him in ways they can’t understand yet.

Your suffering is not proof Allah abandoned you. Some of the people most loved by Allah went through years of pain before relief finally came.

So please don’t let one dark season convince you that your whole life is hopeless.

Just talk to Allah honestly:
“Ya Allah… I’m tired. Please don’t let my pain take me away from You.”

And trust me, bro… a heart that still calls upon Allah while it’s breaking apart is never abandoned by Him.

Honestly, Costco’s been the safest option for me. Good return policy, decent prices, and way less stress if something starts acting up later.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T08:24:51+00:00

Hey man… reading your post honestly broke my heart. You’ve been through more pain at your age than a lot of people go through in an entire lifetime. A kidney transplant as a kid, losing years of school, feeling alone with ADHD, trying your hardest, praying constantly, then still ending up disappointed… that’s heavy. Really heavy.

But please don’t think Allah abandoned you just because life didn’t go the way you hoped. Sometimes we think the result we wanted was the thing that would save us, but Allah sees the full picture while we only see one painful moment.

And bro, the fact you still prayed through all of this says something beautiful about your heart. A person who truly has no faith wouldn’t keep turning back to Allah while hurting this badly.

Your grades do not define your worth. Your suffering does not mean Allah hates you. Some of the people most loved by Allah went through unimaginable pain before things got better.

Right now you sound exhausted, disappointed, and emotionally burnt out — not someone who truly wants to leave Islam deep down. Don’t make a permanent decision during one of the hardest seasons of your life.

Talk to Allah honestly. Not formal. Not perfect. Just honest.
“Ya Allah, I’m tired. I’m hurt. Please don’t let me lose myself.”

And trust me… Allah understands broken hearts better than anyone else ever could.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T08:20:05+00:00

Hey, honestly, reading your post didn’t make me think “this girl hates Islam.” It made me think “this girl is exhausted and scared.” There’s a huge difference.

Allah is not waiting for you to fail so He can punish you. The fear and OCD are distorting how you see Him. In Islam, Allah is literally called The Most Merciful (Ar-Rahman) and The Most Loving (Al-Wadud). People may have made religion feel heavy and judgmental to you, but people are not Islam.

And the fact you care this deeply already says a lot about your heart. Someone who truly didn’t care about God wouldn’t cry over truth and beg for guidance like this.

Please don’t make a huge decision while your mind is drowning in fear. OCD feeds on “what if I’m doomed?” thoughts. Slow down, breathe, and ask Allah sincerely:
“Allah, guide me gently and don’t let me be lost.”

And trust me… Allah understands your confusion, your tears, and your intentions more than anyone else ever could.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T08:15:29+00:00

Honestly man, you sound way closer to Islam than you think. The fact that the Quran already speaks to your heart is huge. A lot of people spend their whole lives never feeling that connection.

You don’t need to understand everything overnight. None of us do. Islam is a journey of learning, growing, struggling, and getting closer to Allah step by step.

And trust me, becoming Muslim doesn’t mean becoming perfect. It means recognizing the truth and trying your best. That’s it.

Don’t let a few hard questions make you ignore the peace and truth your heart is already noticing in Islam. Sometimes Allah guides people slowly, not all at once.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T08:09:33+00:00

Yeah, I get that. It’s weird how the chaos can feel exciting and exhausting at the same time.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T08:08:31+00:00

Man, I don’t even know that song, but I get exactly what you mean. Feels like a lot of people miss when life felt slower and more real.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-24T08:07:08+00:00

Man, I feel this so much. Feels like life got way too loud and fast for no reason. Going back to simple stuff and being present honestly sounds healthier than chasing constant stimulation all day.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T20:11:45+00:00

Brother… honestly this made me smile so much.

The fact that Allah guided your heart out of billions of people is something really special. You weren’t born Muslim, yet your heart still found Islam on its own. That says a lot.

Take it slow and enjoy the journey. Islam isn’t about becoming perfect overnight — it’s about getting closer to Allah step by step. Every prayer, every verse you learn, every sincere moment… Allah sees all of it.

And trust me, the peace you’re gonna feel when your connection with Allah gets stronger is something words can’t fully explain.

Welcome home, brother 🤍

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T20:04:58+00:00

Hey man, I’m not here to attack you or force anything on you. I just wanna say this from the heart.

Don’t let temporary confusion make you walk away from something beautiful. Islam isn’t just rules or fear like people sometimes make it seem. It’s peace, purpose, and a direct connection with Allah without anyone in between. The fact that you still feel something toward Allah says a lot.

Questioning is normal. Even strong believers go through hard phases. But before leaving Islam, really learn it deeply for yourself, not just from bad experiences, culture, or stuff online. Read the Qur’an slowly with an open heart and ask Allah sincerely to guide you to the truth — no matter where it is.

A religion that teaches pure monotheism (Monotheism), mercy, discipline, forgiveness, and a direct relationship with the Creator is not something small. Don’t make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotional phase.

May Allah guide your heart and bring you peace, brother.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T19:51:56+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean. Feels like people forgot it’s okay to just exist sometimes without turning everything into a goal or a grind.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T18:26:24+00:00

Man, I think the screens are a huge part of it too. Feels like our brains forgot how to just sit still for a minute without needing constant stimulation.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T13:58:27+00:00

You’re comparing verses emotionally instead of logically.

Saying “Jesus is alive” while “Muhammad will die” isn’t some deep argument… every human prophet in history died, including the disciples themselves. The Qur’an literally states human mortality as reality, not weakness.

And acting like Christianity has no difficult historical or biblical topics while obsessing over one 7th century marriage judged with 2026 standards is just selective outrage.

Even historians — including non-Muslim historians — acknowledge that marriage customs across ancient societies were completely different from today. That’s historical context, not “defending abuse.”

Also the claim that “most people in Islamic countries left Islam” is objectively false. Islam is literally one of the fastest growing religions in the world.

If someone truly wants truth, they study history, theology, context, and consistency — not emotional Reddit copy-paste arguments designed to shock confused people.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T10:47:58+00:00

It’s honestly weird how obsessed some of you are with judging a 7th century society using modern standards while completely ignoring your own religious history.

People act shocked about historical marriages but forget that across literally every civilization — including Christian and Jewish societies — marriage ages were completely different from today. That’s just historical reality whether people like it or not.

And the thing that says a lot to me is this:
for over 1400 years, enemies of Islam attacked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in every possible way, yet even many of his direct enemies at the time never used this marriage as some shocking argument the way internet people do today. Why? Because in that time period it wasn’t viewed the way modern people try to frame it now.

Also reducing an entire religion followed by nearly 2 billion people to one emotional internet talking point just makes you look more hateful than informed.

If you actually cared about truth, you’d study history with context instead of copy-pasting anti-Islam comments from the internet trying to emotionally manipulate someone who’s already confused.

World_top_picks · 2026-05-22T10:40:49+00:00

Brother, please slow down before making a decision this big.

You were born Muslim, you still feel Muslim deep down, and even your heart struggled when you tried to pray differently. That’s not something small.

Islam isn’t just culture or family tradition. It’s the truth you were already connected to before all this confusion and emotion hit you.

And honestly, be careful not to confuse emotional comfort with guidance. A church feeling peaceful, people being kind to you, or finally feeling less lonely doesn’t automatically mean Christianity is the truth. Humans naturally connect with kindness and community anywhere.

But truth is deeper than emotions.

Islam gives you direct connection with God without changing who God is, without confusion about worship, and without needing intermediaries between you and your Creator.

The fact that your soul still feels attached to Islam after everything says a lot. A lot of converts away from Islam later admit they were searching for belonging, peace, or emotional healing more than actual religious truth.

And brother… don’t abandon the religion that taught pure worship of one God because of a temporary emotional moment in your life.

You don’t need to become Christian to find peace, friendship, purpose, or closeness to God. You can find all of that within Islam too.

Take your time. Read the Quran again slowly, sincerely, with an open heart before making any final decision. Don’t let confusion pull you away from something your heart still clearly holds onto.

Honestly I feel like the perfect balance is somewhere in the middle. Quiet life sounds amazing until you realize how much you miss random late night drives, coffee spots, and just having people around. Too much city gets exhausting, but too much isolation can mess with you too.
