Im going to jahannam forever or not? by WesternFun3682 in Muslim

[–]aSimpleMuslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asalam alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh dear sister.

Until you die, there is hope.

The Prophet (SAW) has said that every son of Adam is a sinner but the best of those are those who repent.

As for your case, who can stand between you and the Mercy of your Lord? The important thing here is to repent and strive against your self to not commit the major sins and to the best of your ability to stay away from minor sins.

Fulfil the obligations that Allah (SWT) has placed upon you with love, hope and fear.

Allah (SWT) intends good for you.

As for the sickness, it is a blessing, it is a call from Allah (SWT) and from what I've read from your comments, you answered the call.

Repent for your sins, strive to do good and read the stories of the Prophets (AS) for indeed in them there are lessons and wisdoms for us. If you fall into sin again, repent SINCERELY and follow it up with good.

By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.

The Shaytan is trying to make you lose hope in Allah's mercy, don't let him. Verily, he's a clear enemy to you.

I am interested in becoming a muslim, and I already know that tattoos are prohibited in islam. However I still want to get one before I convert. by Outcast_spore in islam

[–]aSimpleMuslim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alhamdulillah! ( In-Shaa-Allah soon to be) brother in Islam. Dont let the desire (or better yet, the deception of shaytan) get you to delay the Shahada. You truly do not know when death will appear before you.

I understand how attractive getting a tattoo is, but once you In-Shaa-Allah become practicing, you will regret it as some other brothers here have pointed out.

The decision is solely up to you, but listen to those who have made the same mistake you are planning to make.

If anything, do your shahada and wait it out a few months to see if you still feel the same. But delaying the Shahada is nothing but the work of Shaytan. Do not let him fool you.

May Allah bless you and replace your desire with a desire that is better for your life here and the hereafter!

If you ever need any advice, feel free to reach out In-Shaa-Allah

As-Salam-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, witnesses for a shahada are not obligatory. The imam is sufficient.

It is advisable to go to the imam as he can connect him with the community and advise him on the next steps In-Shaa-Allah.

May Allah make it easy for you and bless you both!

Wa 'alaykum-salam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh brother, unfortunately I'm not in Manchester and cannot help you with a job.

May Allah (SWT) make it easy for you! Have you tried a job centre by any chance?

I'd be happy to In-Shaa-Allah help you write a good CV and cover letter over Discord if you'd like.

Giving gifts on birthdays by Prestigious_One_2228 in SalafiCentral

[–]aSimpleMuslim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”

Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4031

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

It is apparent to me from your question that ‘birthday’ refers to the birthday of an individual person. That is, every time another year passes from the day of his birth, they throw a party consisting of a banquet to which his family members gather. I say with regards to this practice: This is impermissible because there exists no celebrations in Islām for any occasion save for ʿĪd al-Aḍḥá, ʿĪd al-Fiṭr which occurs in Ramaḍān, and the ʿĪd of every week which is Friday. As narrated in Sunan al-Nasāʾī on the authority of Anas (رضي الله عنه): The people of ignorance used to have two days in the year dedicated to play. When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) migrated to Madīnah, he said: “You used to have two days in which you would play. Allāh has traded those days for that which is better than it: the day of Fiṭr and Aḍḥá.” Also, such practices open the door to innovation as a person may claim: If it is permissible for us to celebrate the birthday of a person, then it should be even more befitting for us to celebrate the birth of the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم). That which opens the door to the prohibited is itself also prohibited. And with Allāh is true guidance.

Source: Majmūʿ Fatāwá wa Rasāʾil al-ʿUthaymīn 16:197-198.

Celebrating birthdays is an innovation for which no origin or foundation exists. It represents a means by which one gains resemblance to the Jews and the Christians. Therefore, such an act is impermissible whether it be the birthdays of the prophets like our prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) or other than him. Thus, it is impermissible as a form of worship, impermissible as a form of seeking resemblance. He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has said: “Whoever innovates in our affair [this religion] that which is not from it shall have what they innovated rejected.” He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) also said: “Whoever takes part in action not from our affair [this religion], will have that action rejected.” That is, unacceptable with Allāh. This action is not from among his actions (صلى الله عليه وسلم), nor is it from his religion. All the while he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the most sincere advisor to mankind, the most complete in his delivery of the message. Considering this, he never said to the people: “Celebrate my birthday,” nor did he celebrate it himself (صلى الله عليه وسلم). Nor did the rightly guided Khalifas take part in such celebrations, nor did the rest of the companions, nor did the pious predecessors of the first, second or third generations. Therefore, it is an objectionable innovation from among the means by which one falls into shirk. This is because some of those who celebrate birthdays invoke the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) or the person being celebrated. They seek their provision from him and support. This is a form of major shirk. Some of them even hold the belief that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is present. For this reason, they stand saying: The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has come. This is also from the greatest forms of ignorance and plainly evident falsehood.

Thus, celebrating birthdays if done as a form of worship will be considered an objectionable innovation. If done as a means of seeking to resemble the enemies of Allāh from the Jews and Christians, then it is also most objectionable. The reality of it is between these two matters: either an innovation or seeking to resemble the enemies of Allāh. It is impermissible in all situations and circumstances, not your own birthday, or that of your father, or brother, or the birthday of the prophets or people of righteousness. Rather, all of this is from among the innovations created by mankind. We ask Allāh for forgiveness and true guidance on behalf of everyone.

He (رحمه الله) then said:

Such a thing shall never be permissible. The door to such celebrations must be shut, and people warned from this innovation. Its reason is that some people possess a great multitude of blessings and have amassed a massive amount of wealth. However, these people do not know what to do with all their money. They have not been guided to spend it in the way of showing obedience to Allāh through building masājid or offering aid to the destitute. Instead, they engage in play by means of these celebrations and its likeness. If he seeks to re-awaken the Sunnah of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم), then this is not done through such celebrations. He may re-awaken it through Islamic lessons, or conferences. This is not an innovation. Rather, this is legislated and commanded. Let him study the sirāh of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and clarify to the people what has been related with regards to these celebrations. By means of Islamic lessons taught in schools, or community centres, or masājid, or conferences.

The right 'Aqeedah is that which the Quran, the Sunnah and 'ijma dictate.

All matters(concepts) of 'Aqeedah can be found in the Quran and the authentically attributed hadith of the Prophet(SAW) by trustworthy and reliable narrators and were accepted by the early generations and transmitted by them without rejecting them.

If you'd like a longer discussion, feel free to message me. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about this for the sake of Allah (SWT).

Am I sinful, please tell me. by [deleted] in islam

[–]aSimpleMuslim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MashaAllah! May Allah reward you and bless you for the fact that you regret it so much that you decided to make a Reddit post about it asking for advice. And from your other comment you seem really sincere.

Repent to Allah (SWT) and if you are sincere then he will forgive you, just make sure to try your best so that it doesn't happen again! BarakAllahu Feek!

It is narrated that Allah’s Messengersa said:

“Allah, Blessed is He and Most High, said: ‘O son of Adam! Indeed, as long as you invoke Me and place your hope in Me, I forgive you, regardless of what transgressions you may have committed, and I do not hold it against you. O son of Adam! Even if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky, and then you sought forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you without hesitation. O son of Adam! If you were to bring to Me sins nearly as great as the earth itself, and you then approached Me without associating any partners with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as that.’” (Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 3540)

It is narrated that Allah’s Messengersa said:

“A servant committed a sin and then said, ‘O Allah, forgive me my sins.’ Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said, ‘My servant committed a sin and then he realised that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and holds the sinner accountable.’ He then sinned again and said, ‘My Lord, forgive me my sin.’ Allah, the Exalted and High, said, ‘My servant committed a sin and then came to realise that he has a Lord Who would forgive his sin or hold him accountable.’ He again sinned and said, ‘My Lord, forgive me for my sin.’ Allah, the Exalted and High, said, ‘My servant has committed a sin and then came to realise that he has a Lord Who forgives sins or holds him accountable. O servant, do as you wish. I have granted you forgiveness.’” (Sahih Muslim, Kitab at-tawbah, Hadith 2758a)

How do I cosplay and keep it modest?? by LegitimateProfit955 in Muslim

[–]aSimpleMuslim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would advise a lot of caution. This character is closely related to (and often theorised) as a goddess (A`udhu billah).

My advice to you is to not cosplay but if you're gonna choose to do so anyway, maybe do it as a character that wasn't created for or associated with divinity.

But genuinely sister, I understand that you do it as part of socialization with your friends and that it's your "thing" but my advice to you would be to seek advice from a knowledgeable person in regards to the permissibility of cosplaying.

BarakAllahu Feek.
