Allah wa ta'ala answered my prayer in a heartbeat
hi guys 😊 i don't pray a lot, i'm really trying to change that and pray all the prayers though. I live in europe and in school it's like 11-13th grade is different than 5-10th grade i don't really want to get into it but you can only retake a year in 11-13th grade ONCE before you'll have to leave the school. you basically get kicked out if you don't pass a grade again. so i didn't pass a grade last year before summer break, retook it after summer break and i didn't pass again so i had to leave the school and i wasn't like registered at another school because my teachers told me about it one day before summer break that I wouldn't pass. the time frames you can apply to schools already ended. the day they told me i'd have to leave that school I quickly went to another school where they said they wouldn't let me attend it. I went home, spent 6 weeks at home. i kept crying, praying, making dua. I begged Allah wa ta'ala to help me. i really wanted to continue school. I sent two emails to two different schools explaining my situation. so summer break ends and the next day I go to one of those schools to ask if they have space for me. they look at my grades from last school year, ask me my age and straight up say no. they told me that my school career (?) is over and that i should get a job. after that i went to my aunts place, my cousin he was at this one school so he calls his teacher on his phone, she gives me the number of another teacher. i call her and we talk. she told me to come to school on tuesday, it's like an appointment for people who didn't have a school to attend to yet. 5 days pass, it's tuesday, i got all the papers i needed and go to the school. there were SO MANY PEOPLE that I had to wait 3 hours in line. while i was in line a number kept calling me, it called me 3 times. i didn't pick up since it was really loud so i texted my mom to call the number back because i didn't know who it was. after that I finally get to talk to the teachers there they looked at my grades in 11th grade, and thankfully i also put my grades from 10th grade in there because they were SO much better back then. they took me in on the spot. they told me to come to school tomorrow morning 8 am. i was genuinely so happy I kept thanking Allah wa ta'ala in my head and smiling the entire time i talked to the teachers. after that I called my mom asked who the number was and she told me it's the school i sent an email to. the woman on the phone really wanted me in her class. she told my mom that she really liked the email i sent, and she talked about it as if she needed me in her class at that school. i got accepted into two schools in one day. moral of the story, if you trust Allah wa ta'ala then anything is possible and he will lead you to the best way possible. sorry that this is so long i just really wanted to share it 😅

Drop your Muslim interracial success story !
⚠️ Please please please only positivity in the comments ! If you don’t agree with this just don’t answer. I am not here to starts arguments!
Hey everyone ! Could you please drop some Islamic reminders, tips or storytimes of successful marriages between different ethnicities ?
I am going through a bit of a rough path, Al HamduliLlah though, always. The family of my suitor is racist, i am Black African and my future family in law is middle eastern. I don’t want to drop the countries lol. Long story short, the parents of my suitor don’t want their son to get married to me bc we’re not from the same country. Lol. But Allah Subhana Wa Ta’la Is Greater than all of this.
It’s crazy though they have been living here in west Africa for ages !!! They literally have 80% of their family here… and they don’t want their son to get married to someone from here…but oh well.
I myself is issued from a family of mixed cultures, and my mom is also literally mixed lol. I’m the living proof that It can work. AND it’s not Haram, refusing a marriage because of ethnicity is though. Because we’re both are on our deen Al HamduliLlah. If it was because I wasn’t religious I would’ve understood, but because I am black is crazy !!! But there has been stories like these in his family , for ex one of his his uncle married a black North African woman, and it was the same scenario but the family ended up accepting it because he is successful now, lol how hypocritical but Al HamduliLlah for them though !!
Me and my suitor aren’t losing hope Al HamduliLlah and we are planning on getting married as soon as he gets a suitable job In Shaa Allah, we could’ve been married by now but that’s the only condition my family is giving him, to find a job so he can take care of the both of us. Which I get. He has a job but it’s his family’s business, so he has to find another one in order to be independent now . Please keep us in your duas !
I have been praying Tahajjud a lot and I’ve only gotten positive results from it, but I just want a bit more of motivation, because I know there are a lot of success stories out there, and skin color has nothing to do with the success of a marriage !!!
⚠️Again please only positivity in the comments !
Sorry If my English is a little broken sometimes lol, not my first language.
Baaraka Allahu Fikoum !

Should I become a muslim?
I am a chinese, and there's no muslim in my life. But I am very interesting about islam and Quran. I am tring to follow some rules now, like not drink. However I'm still not sure if I can really follow the rules. Because of the enviroment and my financial ability. Should I become a muslim after I sure I can really follow the all rules, or I just do it now and regulate my ways later?

Islamic Practices that Scientists are ONLY NOW realising the benefits of.
Hello everyone!
Recently, a close friend of mine relocated to London and, in the process, deepened his commitment to Islam. This inspired me to explore the faith further.
My question is two-part. Please forgive the length of my post. As Mark Twain famously said, "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." My enthusiasm greatly outweighs my knowledge; therefore, I welcome corrections or insights.
One thing that has amazed me is that so many of the practices that Islam has been promoting for 1400 years, scientists are only now discovering the benefits of.
Question 1: Which Islamic practices align with scientific findings?
Fasting, particularly during Ramadan, has parallels with the benefits of intermittent fasting recognized by scientists. Rising early for Fajr appears akin to many of the principles advocated in books like "5am Club." The concept of prayer encompasses elements of gratitude, mindfulness, and affirmations, which align with contemporary psychological well-being practices. The significance of Niyyah, or intention, mirrors the positive effects of framing tasks with a constructive mindset, as supported by studies in positive psychology.
These are just a few I have learned about in a few short weeks, and I would love to hear more from those who practice the faith and examples they have where science supports the practices of Islam.
Question 2: What does prayer "feel like" for you? How does prayer benefit your life?
Prayer intrigues me due to its multifaceted benefits, including discipline, goal-setting, gratitude, and humility. It offers a structured approach to starting the day, setting intentions, and seeking guidance. Additionally, the act of prostration fosters a profound sense of connection, given the fact that billions of Muslims are doing the same thing, facing the same way, all at the same time. Even before we touch upon the idea of God, that in itself is incredible. The act of prostration serves to remind us of our place in this complex world, helping to keep our egos in check, as well as improving well-being by taking time to give thanks to Allah for all we have, especially in moments of adversity. I remember a specific incident seeing my friend react to bad news. His reaction was "Alhamdulillah." It struck me how empowering yet humbling it is to face difficult moments with that attitude.
Thank you in advance! I'm very excited for all, if any, engagement this post receives.

Is it a problem that I find praying to pass a test you didn't study for wrong?
I'm a recent revert so I'm not to educated on Duas and Islam in general, so excuse me if this post radiates my lack of knowledge. I came across a video on TikTok by a pretty popular Muslim guy, and he made a video about "how to pass any test in Islam without studying." The video was based around an emergency Dua to say in case you forgot to study. Everyone in the comments were fine with this video and talking about their upcoming assignments and tests. Is it a problem that I find this wrong and incredibly lazy and that I think you should be taking life the way you deserve it. If you forgot to or were too lazy to study, that is on you. People are out here being lazy and putting no work into something and just expecting Allah to do something about it. If you want to succeed, work, because that's what Allah gave us the ability to do. Allah doesn't want you to be lazy and run off to him asking for success when you didn't put any work into succeeding in the first place.

Being a Muslim, Which Option Will You Choose?
Suppose you are the owner of the business in some Western Country like US or UK and you are looking for an employee for your business and you have to choose only one candidate.
candidate 1: A practicing Muslim with beard and modest appearance. He have only average talent and expertise for this job, also have not much experience.
candidate 2: A Non Muslim or atheist with visible tattoos and modern apearance. He is very talented and proficient for this job, also have good experience.
Both candidates ask for equal salary.
Which candidate will you choose?

Why are there no honorifics used for Archangel Gabriel?
So in Islam we add SWT after Allah SWT's name. We add PBUH after Prophet Muhammad PBUH's name. But why not something for Archangel Gabriel? In the chain of events that led to the Quran being written, he had a role of great importance as the messenger to the messenger of Allah. If there is an honorific for his name, what is it?
I hope this doesn't offend anyone because that's not the intention. I'm genuinely curious.

An atom’s weight of faith gets you into heaven
Hey! Quick question. I just read a Hadith that says that those with an atom’s weight of faith eventually get into heaven. I am a white revert and it is entirely impossible to get my family to accept any iteration of Islam. I promise I am a persuasive.
My mom outright believes in God, so that is an atom’s weight.
My dad is a former Buddhist and acknowledges that God is likely, that is an atom’s weight.
My brother is a HARDCORE atheist, but accepts my religion. How do get him to have an atom’s weight of faith?
Obviously it is impossible for me to believe that they are going to hell given that they are good people, but I am just covering my bases.
In short, how do I make an atheist at least closer to an agnostic?

On being tested
Alhamdulilah have been Muslim all my life and always pray 5 times a day but have been falling into sin lately so I have been trying to become more religious in these past 2-3 weeks and after watching a few talks on YouTube I have learnt that Allah tests people according to their Iman. However,in my life I don’t really feel like I’ve been tested.It feels like I’ve been on easy mode this whole time.Alhamdulilah my parents have good jobs with a high income that is halal,I go to a good school,I get good grades in my exams and eat 3 times a day and have a nice house alhamdulilah.Sure I’ve experienced some difficulties at times such as some dips in iman from time to time and pretty frequent bullying at school but it still feels like Allah hasn’t tested me enough.Should I be scared or just continue appreciating my blessings.
