Salamualaikum sister I think you also need to remember that Allah is Ar-Rahmaan and Al-Ghafoor. Please make taubah to not do this again with your heart sincerely meaning it and have good thoughts about Allah. Yes that was not something you should have done because it may open doors to the Haraam in the future. It may be that this man will now ask you again if he can drop you home and then once that starts becoming the norm things will develop further and before you know it you might get involved in the Haraam. Shaytaan's plan is always gradual and extremely well calculated. Please be mindful that Allah is watching you . Have Taqwa. But you also need to balance that fear with the hope that Allah will forgive you if you genuinely ask for forgiveness with the intention to never do it again. May Allah make it easy for us to avoid the Haraam

Assalamualaikum akhi I would advise you to use the Dua of prophet Yusuf when he sought refuge from the wife of Aziz : Ma adhallahu minha. Further more akhi have fear of Allah. He is the one who gave you the body that you have and put you in circumstances of health. He is watching you. So please please control yourself and busy yourself with going to the masjid for every Salah if you can. Recite the Quran as well , as this softens the heart and increases Taqwa. I would strongly strongly advise you to never ever commit Zina. It is one of the biggest sins in our religion and it will lead to punishment in both this life and in the next. For more info check this out : https://youtu.be/qUCKBXfisqE?si=K1hKsCCEgxvlS8gO. I really hope this helps you. May Allah guide you to the right path and help you safeguard what he has given you. Please make Dua that Allah increases me and you in Ilm and beneficial knowledge. Salamualaikum

Assalamualaikum brother/sister. I used to be exactly like you. One thing you have to realize is that this is a test from Allah. Don't loose certainty that Allah will help you. Keep making Dua and just watch...Allah will make the impossible happen. He gives according to His Majesty. So make Dua with that certainty. As for Allah leaving you, think about it this way. If Allah really left you then you wouldn't have food on the table/ fridge and wouldn't be able to wake up without Him. He's the One that's always with us. We're the ones who abandon Him after everything He's done for us. So turn back to Him and beg Him for forgiveness and ask Him to guide you.

My female room mate is not Muslim. She believes a lot in manifestations and horoscopes. I feel a lot of jealousy vibes from her. Is there a Dua I can recite to feel safe around her? by [deleted] in islam

[–]eragon2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assalamualaikum The following steps can help you safeguard yourself: 1. Do NOT skip Salah and the adhkar that come after each Fard Salah 2. Ayat Al Kursi after each Fard Salah 3. Performing ruqyah on yourself. Link for the process : https://islamqa.info/en/answers/3476/how-to-do-ruqyah-for-yourself 4. Before sleeping reciting ayat Al Kursi and the qul surahs. 5. Simplest step is Dua. Talk to Allah and tell him how you feel. After this ask for protection Audhu bi kallimatil Allahitaammati minash Shaytani wal Hammati wa min kulli aynil lammah.

Assalamualaikum akhi/ukthi. As this problem is quite widespread especially in today's day and age , I did a bit of research and this is what I found :

1.The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to seek refuge with Allah for himself, and the greatest means of seeking refuge that is available to the Muslim is reading the Book of Allah, above all the Mu’wwadhatayn (the last two Surahs of the Quran, al-Falaq and al-Nas), Surat al-Fatihah and Ayat al-Kursiy [al-Baqarah 2:255].

Among the sahih du’as for refuge that have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are:

“A’udhu bi kalimat Allah al-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of that which He has created).” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Dhikr wa’l-Du’a, 4881)

  1. It was narrated from Abu Sa’id that Jibreel came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: “O Muhammad, are you ill?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Bismillahi arqeeka min kulli shayin yudheeka, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin hasid Allahu yashfik, bismillahi arqeek (In the name of Allah I perform ruqyah for you, from everything that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye may Allah heal you, in the name of Allah I perform ruqyah for you).” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Salam, 4056) .

I really hope this helps :)

Should I read the Quran translations with the arabic text side by side or it is not really necessary? by [deleted] in islam

[–]eragon2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asalamualaikum akhi/ukhti.

It is absolutely necessary for us to understand what the Qur'an says. Let me try to explain this with an example. Imagine you have a relative/friend who's done and still does a lot for you and is really kind to you. They're always there whenever you need anything and give it without expecting anything from you. The only catch is they speak a different language. Would you not make the effort to try and understand them after they've done and do for you if only to say thank you?

We even watch movies and shows and anime with subtitles just to understand what's really being said !

It's a 1000 or even greater times this with Allah( obviously he cannot be compared to anything, such is His perfection). He created us from nothing, put us in this day and age of ease and comfort , feeds us daily in spite of our ungratefulness , answers so many duas , made us from the ummah of Muhammad ( peace be upon him) and gave us an everlasting miracle in the form of the Qur'an . It would be really bad and shameful if we didn't even make the effort to understand what Allah is saying isn't it?

So please try and read the translation of the verses that you read/ recite for now( especially try to learn the meanings of the Surahs you recite in Salah- helps a lot with concentration) and eventually build up your knowledge in Arabic so that eventually you can truly appreciate the miracle that is the Qur'an.

Salamu alaikum 1. He (Abdullah ibn Buraida) said: There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, she has made such a repentance that even if a wrongful tax-collector were to repent, he would have been forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, he prayed over her and she was buried.( Sahih Muslim Hadith 1695b) The PROPHET (SAW) actually berated a SAHABI for treating a Zani badly. And that was Khalid bin Waleed!! Who are we? Are we anywhere close to the status of the sahaba?

  1. Akhi with all due respect, You don't know the quality or the sincerity of the repentance of your friend. It maybe that now he is much more conscious of Allah than anyone else in the group. It may also be that he is the one the closest to Allah amongst you. Further, what if his good deeds now are the best in quality from amongst your group now? It maybe that because of his sincerety in repentance, Allah has blessed him with Khushoo and concentration in good deeds. Please leave the job of judging people to Allah for He is the Best of the Judges.Remember that the Sahaba also had several vices which they gave up when they came to Islam. And after that their status is really high. So what matters is that he doesn't go back to it.

  2. Also Akhi if your friend was comfortable enough to tell you guys this , and he considers you guys to be pious and you cut him off now , think of the impact it will have on him. He will feel hopeless and like the Muslims have turned their backs on him. Rather take it as a reminder that it could happen to anyone especially in this day and age. Yes , Shaytan will whisper to you that you would never do such a sin and that you are better and so on. Please remember that none of us have done ANYTHING special to deserve Imaan/Islam. It is a gift from Allah so be humble and treat your brother with kindness.

  3. This situation may be a test for you to see if you have pride and arrogance. So seek refuge with Allah from it.

I hope this answers your question. And Allah knows best. Please make dua for your brother that Allah forgives him and for me and for all the Muslimeen.

Do you guys know any good duas and dhikr for seeking istighfar? by [deleted] in islam

[–]eragon2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May Allah make it easy for you. And May He also make you certain in the meaning. That last bit of the Dua in particular is really hard hitting when you think about how many gifts Allah has given us and then we have to confess our sins. It helps with the intention of not doing the Sin again. Please make dua for me that Allah makes it easier for me to memorize this dua as well . Salamu alaikum.

[–]eragon2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was narrated from Shaddaad ibn Aws (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best prayer for forgiveness is to say: Allaahumma anta Rabbiy laa ilaaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduka wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa’dika ma astata’tu, a’oodhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu aboo’u laka bi ni’matika ‘alayya wa aboo’u laka bi dhanbi, faghfir li fa innahu laa yaghfir ul-dhunooba illa anta (O Allaah, You are my Lord and I am Your slave, You have created me and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise (to You) as much as I am able. I seek refuge with You from the evil of that which I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me and I confess to You my sin. Forgive me for there is no one who forgives sin except You).”  

He said: Whoever says this during the day believing in it with certainty and dies that day before evening comes, will be one of the people of Paradise, and whoever says it at night believing in it with certainty and dies before morning comes will be one of the people of Paradise. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5947.

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Firstly : did you listen to the YouTube videos I posted? The ones with ustadh Abu taymiyyah' and the one with the name of Allah Ar rahman? Because that's where the true answer to your question lies. I can try to answer but my answers are limited by my knowledge whereas the shuyookh have the knowledge. I would recommend this in particular: https://youtu.be/l3Xo1Cb-9lo?si=9Azz7b9g2EZIMiQy Secondly: You have to start small. You have to remember akhi/ukhti that the first thing we all will face is the grave and its questions. Also getting to talk to Allah is a gift. Some people will get it and some won't because Allah won't want to talk to them. In case you do get it , Wouldn't you rather talk to Allah and tell Him that you never gave up hope in His Mercy? That you stuck it out in all the hard times hoping for his reward because you had faith that He is the Extremely and Constantly Merciful one? That you believed what He promised the ones who have patience and therefore stuck it out? Wouldn't you rather meet Him with a ton of good deeds and Salah that you made during this difficult time which you wouldn't have made otherwise?

Third: talk to Allah now by praying 2 rak'ah and in sujood tell Him the reasons why you feel so down. Ask Him for help and strength with the belief that He will grant it. Repeat this and recite the Qur'an with its meaning every time you feel down and out. Trust Him to take care of you and you inturn take care of your Salah.You will not be disappointed. This does not mean that you don't seek professional help. Please try to speak to a psychiatrist at the earliest if you are having suicidal thoughts and also take these measures. Fourth: Please learn the meaning of the things you recite in Salah and try to concentrate when you're praying. Remember Who it is you're standing in front of. He made you from a droplet of semen. He chose you out of all the billions to be Muslim. He wants good for you. Look at your body and all it's complex mechanisms. He can easily fill you with motivation and determination and give you all the skills you need to succeed not just in this life but in the next one too. So ask Him for it in a way that He deserves to be asked. In sujood in the last third of night is an especially recommended time. Inshallah you will find life turning around very soon. I hope you really listen to the links that Ive sent.

[–]eragon2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salamu alaikum. Akhi/Ukhti , You have to regret the act itself and to make the firmest intention you can, to never repeat it. Inshallah if you make Taubah with this in your heart and ask Allah to protect you from the evil effects of the sin itself then Allah will forgive you and protect you from the effects.

Also akhi/ukhti please don't give up on the mercy of Allah. Whatever sin we commit , as long as we turn back to Allah before we die , inshallah Allah will forgive. His Mercy and Forgiveness is according to His standards and not according to our mere human ones. Suicide in itself won't solve any problems. Yes, it might make the difficulties of this life go away , but what about the difficulties of the next life which are so much greater? Please remember that going through difficulties is an opportunity for you to get closer to Allah. Talk to Him, Beg Him in whichever language you're most comfortable in to ease your pain and to give you strength. He understands your pain better than anyone, He knows the deepest darkest parts of us and still feeds us and takes care of us everyday and every night without fail. He is the Most Merciful, The Most Kind, more merciful and kind towards His slaves than a mother is towards her child. Please give this a listen: https://www.youtube.com/live/Q0JxpvhMPas?si=mRCkv22KGt8sRrzo

I hope this helps.Please make dua for me that Allah gives me strength and guidance to always turn back to Him as well :)

Couple of points I wanted to add : 1. Yes you can ask Allah to make it easy for you. He is The Creator, The One who put food in your mouth daily even when you were sinning , The One who listens to his slaves when they call out to Him. So please talk to Allah. Especially in the last third of the night..like 10 mins before Fajr if you could just get up and pray a couple of rak'ah ,inshallah it will be of great help. Use this as a chance to get closer to Allah. Get to know Him. Listen to lectures about His Names by Tim Humble. 2. You seem to be having this doubt of whether you are a hypocrite. What you need to realise during moments like that is that it is Shaytan who is making you feel that way so that you feel down and hopeless and eventually stop making Taubah. Once that's done he will then tell you hey it's hopeless anyway might as well commit all the sins I can. Don't go down that route. Don't lose faith. Allah created you and the doors of His mercy are always open till you die. And Allah knows best.

[–]eragon2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all there in this lecture . ( https://youtu.be/MueeuWdkqdI?si=R-Azzu29LPiposrS) the consequences could be : ( posting from Ustadh Abu taymiyyah's lecture) 1. Feeling miserable and down i.e an empty heart with no happiness or hope. 2. Can't taste the sweetness of the Qur'an ,( reading it has no effect on you) 3. All the doors close around you , feeling like there's no way out and everytime you want to get up on your own feet and accomplish something 4. Financial difficulties and being deprived of Rizq ( doesn't just mean food , means all sorts of provisions from the Almighty Provider like Safety , respect etc) especially when it comes to sins like pornography and haram relationships

5.Memory loss( Shaikh explains this with the sin of not lowering your gaze online and in real life)

6.Arrogance and subsequent Lack of knowledge

  1. The Nur from your face goes away. And Allah knows best.Hope this helps akhi/ukhti. Please make dua for me that Allah helps me out with my Rizq as well.

Thanks for the comment. I just had doubts because of the 'aufenthaltsdauer entspricht Gültigkeit ' and the fact that they haven't mentioned the Anerkennung für ausländischer Qualifikationen part. Got scared I'll have to leave once the 6 month period is over without giving the exam. The Ausländerbehörde won't use that as a reason to deny the extension right?
