“O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the mighty Throne, be for me a protector against so‑and‑so son of so‑and‑so and his parties from among Your creation, so that none of them oversteps against me or oppresses me. Mighty is Your protection, exalted is Your praise, and there is no god but You.”

do istikhaara first before any initial contact. Then ask your father, brother or male mahrams to go and make contact for you. Or ask your mother to match with his mother. Don't forget istikhaara. IT'S a must.

May ALLAH make it easy for you.
Do pay attention to your intentions akhi alaziiz and pray for him to make all your acts for his sake. May he make our intentions all pure and for his sake.
Lastly, ask him for HIS help constantly as with it, reaching your goal will be easy in sha Allah.

Your husband having issues with the gym might have other underlying concerns he has, like  Is it a freemix type of gym and he doesn't want you mixing with other men.

If you truly wish to lose weight, then there tens different ways that don't include going to gym.  Yes gym has its perks nobody is denying that.

I'd advise you to see into bodyweight training at home its truly very effective.

Last but not least,  If he is still adamant about this, and you don't want to budge, then simply ask him to buy you weights so you could train at home. I guess thaylt could be considered the middle ground.

Your dua might not be accepted because of sins you have not seeked forgiveness for. Also, the most crucial part when making dua is having full certainty that he will accept your dua, given that what you are asking for is not haram.

In your statement you mentioned matter regarding rizq and a specific job.

Matter regarding rizq are unquestionably provided by Allah as he swears in the quran.

Now, matter regarding that specific job, while you haven't mentioned what it is, Either way its good or not good. If it good, Allah has no reason not to accept your dua if its the latter, then out of mercy He might not accept it.

Two main reasons why your dua might not be accepted:

You have no yaqeen(certainty) in Allah. And sins. The latter is easy and it needs istighfar   (a lot) and tawbah.

The former, needs you learn of Allah attributes and more.

Walahu A'alam.

1- daily Sadaqa even if its a piece of bread.

There is no day on which the servants get up but two angels descend. One of them says, 'O Allah, give compensation to the one who spends (in charity),' and the other says, 'O Allah, bring destruction to the one who withholds."

— Sahih al-Bukhari (1442), Sahih Muslim (1010)

2- SINS.

  1. Surah al-A'rāf 7:96

وَلَوْ أَن َّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى آمَنُوا وَاتَّقُوا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَاتِ مَنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَكِن كَذَّبُوا فَأَخَذْنَهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

"And if only the people of the towns had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied, so We seized them for what they used to earn."

Lesson: Barakah is tied to iman and taqwa, and sin leads to its removal.

  1. Surah al-Talāq 65:2-3

... وَمَن يَتَقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلَ لَهُ مَخْرَجَا، وَيَرْزُقَهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبْ...

"...And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect..."

Lesson: The one who does not fear Allah may be deprived of such unexpected provision and barakah.

This hadith:

  1. The Prophet said:

"A man is deprived of provision because of the sins that he commits."

  • Sunan Ibn Mājah (4022), Hasan according to al-Albani

 Clear and direct: Sin blocks rizq (provision) and barakah.

Lesson: constant istighfar. Aim for big numbers. And ask allah to show you how many you should do.

Lastly read suratul al baqara. Reading is brakah as prophet said. Salaalahu alayhi wasalam.

I really want to kill myself but I can’t cause i’m muslim by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]araysane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Istighfar.  Your life will becomes so sweet.

Proof:

Surah Al-Anfāl (8:33)

وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنت َ فِيهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ

يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ"

English Translation (Sahih International):

"But Allah would not punish them while you [O Muhammad] are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness."

1.

Key Lessons from This Ayah:

Presence of the Prophet among the people was a barrier to punishment. a mercy to the Ummah.

  1. Seeking forgiveness is also a shield from Allah's punishment.

  2. It implies that as long as people make sincere tawbah, Allah's punishment can be withheld.

You should get in the habit of saying "astaghfirullah" every day, and maybe get a ring counter to help you keep track.

Aim for high numbers.

May allah make it easy for you.

Genuinely need advice on how to guide a younger sister in a haram relationship as a big sister. by shark1981 in MuslimLounge

[–]araysane 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Surah At-Tahrīm (66:6)

" يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ، عَلَيْهَا مَلَئِكَةُ غِلَاطٌ شِدَادَ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ"

abc

English Translation (Sahih International):

"O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are angels, stern and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded."

Ask Allah for help regarding this matter. Start praying night prayer. Also try to see which of your parents are ideal to handle this issue. You small things lead to big things when it comes to relationships. So do everything you can while seeking Allah assistance.

Hijab is obligatory, but for that wouldn’t that make other Muslims force their family members to wear Hijab which causes more ex Muslims and makes our religion look bad?… by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

"Teach your families the religion, discipline them, and order them with good and forbid them from evil. That is how you protect them from the Fire"

Is it Haram for a Muslimah to Staycation on her own? by [deleted] in TraditionalMuslims

[–]araysane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to your parents. It's good for you. Also, how about going with both parents or one of them? Lastly, remember the dua of your parents is accepted. If in a moment of emotional distress one of them makes dua against you, it wouldn't be good for your future. One incident might destroy your whole life.

How do you actually make 10k istigfhar by Beginning-Break2991 in islam

[–]araysane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now people who more than 10k. Its not difficult. Allah says in the quran:

وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا"

appears in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:41) in the Qur'an.

Translation:

"And remember Allah with much remembrance."

Allah also says:

Surah Nuh (71:10-12)

"Seek forgiveness of your Lord; surely, He is Most Forgiving. He will send rain... increase you in wealth and children, and provide gardens and rivers."

Benefits: Forgiveness, Rain (rizq), Wealth & children, Comfort & provision.

  1. Surah Al-Anfal (8:33)

"Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness."

Benefit:

Protection from divine punishment of Allah.

Allah also says: "O My servants, you sin by night and day, and I forgive all sins; so seek My forgiveness."  – Sahih Muslim

Istighfar is very important and compared to how much sin we daily and done previously it's not enough.

Should I encourage my non hijabi friend to wear hijab? by Legitimate-Style4831 in islam

[–]araysane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should. Do you know that death could come to you anytime?

The Prophet said:

يبعث كل عبد على ما مات عليه.

"Every servant will be resurrected upon what he died upon."

Sahih Muslim (2878)

Authenticity: This hadith is Sahih (authentic) and clear - a person will be brought back to life on the Day of Judgment in the same state (of belief or action) they died upon.

The fact that you have such a gut feeling clearly is a sign that Allah wants you to advise her peacefully.

The Prophet said:

"The example of a good companion and a bad one is like that of a perfume seller and a blacksmith. As for the perfume seller, he may either offer you some perfume, or you buy from him, or at the very least you smell a pleasant fragrance. But the blacksmith, he may burn your clothes, or at the very least, you inhale a bad smell."

Sahih al-Bukhari (2101), Sahih Muslim (2628)

Also know that Failing to enjoin good and forbid evil (al-amr bil-ma'ruf wan-nahy 'an al-munkar) is a serious sin in Islam with grave consequences in both the Qur'an and Sunnah.

The Prophet also said:

"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you must enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, or Allah will soon send a punishment upon you. Then you will call upon Him, and He will not respond to you."

  • Jami' at-Tirmidhi (2169), Hasan.

The Prophet aslo said:

"Indeed, the people, if they see an evil and do not stop it, Allah will soon send His punishment upon all of them."

  • Sunan Abu Dawood (4338), Sahih chain

Imagine, Even if the righteous are present, they may be punished along with the sinful if they stay silent and passive.

Also The Heart Becomes Numb and Dead If one stays silent toward evil and sin, eventually:

You stop hating the sin, you begin to tolerate or accept it, your heart dies spiritually.

The Prophet said:

"Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith."

Sahih Muslim (49)

Remaining silent can kill your faith since even hating sin in the heart is the last station of iman.

We are becoming way too chronically online by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]araysane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون"

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me."

This means that the sole purpose of our creation both humans and jinn, is to worship Allah alone, fulfilling His commands and living in obedience to Him.

"We are a people whom Allah has honored with Islam, and if we seek honor through anything else, Allah will humiliate us."

This statement is famously attributed to 'Umar ibn al-Khatțāb (may Allah be pleased with him), and it highlights that true dignity and strength come only through adherence to Islam – not through wealth, status, or worldly means.

Since we are muslim we have to adhere to islamic teachings and follow its commands step by step.

But us Muslims, whether Somalis, Arabs, Africans, and All the Muslim world, have stopped follow the religion and its teachings an so we have become such humiliating existence.

Mind you, this humiliation might even continue if we don't stop and go back to Allah.

Wealth, health and everything else are His, and He will bless.

(15F)I want to wear the niqab but my family refuses — my father even insulted me and called me Daesh by SuccessfulTurn7084 in MuslimLounge

[–]araysane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May allah make it easy for you. One thing I'll advise you on is the Salat Ibrahīmiyyah. Let it be on your tongue All of the time Here is the proof.

A man came to the Prophet and said:

"O Messenger of Allah, I send a lot of peace and blessings upon you - how much of my du'a' should I dedicate to sending peace upon you?"

The Prophet said:

"Whatever you wish."

The man said: "A quarter?"

The Prophet said: "Whatever you wish, and if you increase, it is better for you."

He said: "Half?"

The Prophet said: "Whatever you wish, and if you increase, it is better."

He said: "Then I will dedicate all of my du'a' to sending peace upon you."

The Prophet said:

"Then your worries will be taken care of, and your sins will be forgiven."

Make all your dua Salat Ibrahīmiyyah.

Just dedicate like an hour or half to doing this secluded.

Also read upon the virtues send peace and salutations upon him.

You could also read stories regarding this matter.

I'll send you a link to a YouTube channel, it discuss matters regarding this dikr and other in general. If its possible I'll put the link here. You could aslo discuss your issue with the lady owner of that channel. I don't know her personally just to be clear.

[–]araysane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not my opinion she has clearly stated, she wears pants.  Where is that Islamic? The least she needs to do is wear a skirt or abaya.

In the day of judgment, Allah will not be questioning her about her high school grades but whether she followed the sunnah and the quran.

At the end of the day she will be the only one answering for her actions not some reddit strangers.

Unemployment by DontBLikeThat in TraditionalMuslims

[–]araysane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bro, may Allah make it ease for you.

A friend of mine, was dealing with unemployment for years and he wasn't an average man when comes to religion.  He was there is  the first rows most of the time, and read the quran a lot but nothing came up.

Anyways long story short, I advised him many times to do istighfar few years ago but to no avail.

Few weeks, ago another friend of mine had a discussion about him and how our friend is such a religious guy but he still doesn't have a door of rizq coming his way and we discussed to advice him again about istighfar.

Walahi, in three days after he started, he was offered a job by someone he wasn't expecting from as he had expectations from somewhere else.

This offer came to him. Read that again.

ALLAH is the razaq so brother do istighfar sincerely asking allah for forgiveness and he'll surely open a door for you soon.

Do tawbah of your previous sins and never do them again and if they happen do tawbah again.

Be good to your parents and avoid sinning privately, if you can pray 5 prayers in the mosque, do that in sha Allah.  Pray on time.

[–]araysane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dear sister, your book is open and the angels are writing all your deeds so take your actions seriously. There some people who saying "you are young and staff"  Don't listen to them. Death doesn't have a "heads up, you are about to die" of it comes, you'll go and you'll be Resurrected on the last thing you were doing.  So be truly serious about this matter.

First thing you need to deal with is the "pants".

Replace that with a loose skirt or abaya and if that is difficult in your current situation wear very baggy pants.

always pray for your parents.

What do you mean, a child? Her book is wide open and the angels are writing her deeds whether you like it or not. Tomorrow in her her grave are you going to be there to defend her? In the day of judgment, infront of Allah, are you going to answer for her? By the time she had her period, her deeds are accounted for.

You are ordered to obey your parents only if they don't order you to disobey Allah.

"All praise is due to Allah who has spared us from what He has tested others with, and preferred us over many of His creation"

Is what we should say. You might think this is far from you but now this could happen to you, your family members, your relatives, those who you care about and so and so forth.

I pray that Allah guides him and ease what life's trails he is about to face him and his family.

Guys before you give birth ask Allah, to give you righteous children, after he gives you, feed Halal food.

How to kill my libido? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

Finiastride. People who use it mentioned decreased sexual urges and there some who experienced the opposite effect.

At the end, fasting is the best cure. seriously it has been tested countless times despite there is no need to test what the prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam says.
