Islamophobia is growing in Reddit

Dear sisters and brothers, please keep yourselves safe and avoid toxic subreddits because its never worth it. I've been harassed a few times on reddit for simply clearing up misinformation about my religion and my Prophet (SAW). Its so saddening how so many moderators claim to support freedom of speech yet delete my posts or ignore hateful comments simply because the topic is Islam. This has happened a lot on the subreddit "r/rant" where my posts get deleted yet blatant Islamophobic posts stay that's filled with misinformation. Please take care of yourself and know you're valued in the eyes of Allah.

What is Allah’s way of punishing someone?

Am I being punished? I was SA’d when I was a child and Allah is blessing the person who did this evil act to me academically, wealth and marriage.

Whilst I have developed a disease, failing academically and my mental health has worsened with depression and OCD.

What if Allah has forgiven that person who is also a Muslim and is being blessed out of mercy whilst I get punished because Allah is displeased with me?

Moon photographed over 28 days

A photographer took a picture of the moon cycle over 28 days

This reminds us of the Ayah in Suah Ya'seen

وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَاهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ ﴿٣٩﴾

# Surah Ya-Seen

39. And the moon: We have disposed it in phases—until it returns like the old twig.


Perhaps this is what Allah meant by this Ayah

Moon cycle and a date twig

I want to convert to Islam, but I find it hard to believe god is real. Can someone help?

Before I begin explaining I just want to say I don’t mean to be offensive to the religion of Islam, any Muslims, or Allah in any way. Now, for context, i’m a woman who lives in the United States and i’ve grown up atheist. Both of my parents are atheist as well so that’s just what I grew up to know. Now that i’m older I started having a lot of philosophical questions like how humans got here, how space was created, what happens after we die, all that fun stuff. I began to look into the different religions around the world and I was drawn to Allah and Islam. I researched more about it, watched a bunch of videos on how to pray, when to pray, how to learn verses of the Quran in Arabic, tips on how to convert, and more. The one thing that I find difficult is believing that there really is a god. I feel like my mind is stuck in an atheist mindset. I feel like religion definitely could’ve been man-made to help societies follow rules and work together easier. Like the thought of having this all mighty god watching over you at all times to make sure you’re following the rules and if you don’t that you’ll be sent to a terrible place to be punished for eternity seems like it would make people want to behave. It just seems like it could’ve been designed back then to make societies work coherently and to have less rebellious people, since they knew they were being watched and would be punished if they rebelled. I feel like religion also provides people comfort of what comes after death. A lot of people fear there being nothing after death and it just being pitch blackness, and that’s where religion can provide comfort, by saying that there’s an afterlife waiting for us or that we’ll be reincarnated. I think it’ll be the same as before we were born, just nothing but we won’t be conscious and alive to experience the nothing. So it wouldn’t just be black nothingness forever, since we wouldn’t really even be conscious. Another thing that gets me is how there are over 4,500 different religions, and how only one could really be true. It adds to my thought that religion was created to help structure and connect societies back in the day. So overall, I really want to believe that Allah is real as i’ve fallen in love with the religion and the thought of him existing, but I just find it hard to truly believe that religion wasn’t man made and that god really exists. Can anyone help me please?

If you only read one thing today. Let it be this.

You are on the right path. You are right on time. Don't stress over the things that you don't have control over. Everything will fall into place. Better doors will open and you will not need to force it. It will happen so subtly that you won't even realize its finally happening ,But it is happening , it will happen , believe this..!!

I might tell my mom I’m Muslim today

I am losing faith in religion and part of the reason why is because my environment doesn’t allow me to practice Islam if it’s a secret. my mom recently bought a dog and my world ended. It might be stupid for you but being a convert is hard, anything can break your faith, the slightest inconvenience kills your iman and I was weak having a dog around me does not allow me to pray, even if I wear different clothes I’ll find a way to get najasa I’ve become hateful of my environment I became a monster since Islam because my ocd made me hate my surroundings. My mom touches impurity and I’m certain of it the she goes and touches me so today I will confess it to her. I might get kicked out, might find it harder to practice Islam, might be forced to leave idk what will happen to me. I still believe in Allah so please make dua’a for me.

I dont really get why the atheists believe that God existing is so ridiculous

We literally live inside a blue ball floating on its own in space, orbiting a bigger ball filled with fire and lava, next to a smaller rock that also orbits around our ball, inside one of the trillions of galaxies that each have countless billions of other balls with varying sizes inside of them.

We’re conscious bags of meat, flesh and bones that have managed to evolve and create complex societies, coexisting with trillions of different animals species, with some of these species also being capable to have complex thought and relatively build complex societies and hierarchies on their own.

We literally dream when we sleep, we breathe, we have trillions of chromosomes inside our bodies, etc…

I could go on for trillions of years trying to detail each and every single detail that exists in this universe that could be considered as « magic » if you really think about it, and it would never be enough.

Why would an larger being and entity being the creator of all of this be this ridiculous in their eyes ?

In Islam, can I, as a non-Muslim, pray to Allah?

Greetings everyone,

For context, I am a non-Muslim from the Philippines, currently agnostic for well over 10 years but I was a former devout and practicing Catholic.

However, as of late, I had a resurgence of interest with religion, in general. Islam is one of these faiths.

Beforehand, I asked our Jewish brothers and sisters if I can pray to YHWH, God. And they did say, that "Jewish" prayers aren't necessary since I can talk and reach out to God on my own terms - we are all His children after all, I just have to do it in my non-Jew way. They also had other insights which I really appreciated. It was a breath of fresh air, for me at least.

And now, for Islam, is it permissible for me to reach out to the Allah? Are there any roadblocks I might encounter? Might this be offensive for Muslims, perhaps? I understand, that the Allah is also the God of Abraham, for Muslims - and I simply want my conscience to be clear and heart pacified to know that what I can do is acceptable for Muslims and even pleasing to Him.

Still, my knowledge of Islam is being built as I continue down my path in understanding different religions.

N.B. I am new here. In all, I would like to hear your thoughts and insights as well on the matter! I might not be able to reply on time as it is nighttime from where I live.

I am considering converting to Islam

I was born and raised Catholic, but the past few years I have been lost spiritually. I didnt feel connected with my Catholic faith and I knew nothing about other religions. It wasnt until I have been seeing videos online and on tiktok of Islam and Muslim men, women, and children and I just believe Islam is a beautiful religion. And Im not sure if this would seem silly to others, but last night I asked for a sign to Allah if Islam is the correct religion for me, and that if I were to lead a healthy and happy life if I were to follow Allah and the word of the Quran.

I fell asleep and I woke up extremely nauseous and a throbbing headache, and I saw a reccommendation on my spotify for an english version of the Quran (I dont speak arabic) and so I started listening to it and after hearing the introduction and a few chapters... my nausea and headache were completely gone. I believe it's a sign from Allah that this is my correct path.

I still want to fully research Islam and buy and fully read the Quran before I choose to convert. If anyone has any readings or videos or any considerstions that I should know before I convert I would be grateful. I apologize for the long post.

Job won’t let me pray

As salamu alaikum,

My job got rid of the prayer room and made it a lactation room. The women are occupying the room for 3 hours or more of an 8 hour shift — if I do get in there to pray, they are knocking on the door the entire time, so I have no khushoo.

At this point, I am basically missing dhuhr at work. I don’t know what to do. I have tried to remain patient. I have tried praying in empty rooms, I have tried praying in different floors of the building. They wrote me up for this.

This issue has been going on for months and has escalated way too far atp. I don’t get why Allah isn’t giving a solution so that I can pray, it’s insane… any advice?

I love being Muslim, but the people make me hate it

I need to get this off my chest. I grew up Muslim and on Muslim beliefs but always struggled with it. A couple of years ago, I almost entirely turned away solely because of the people.

Islam says not to judge others yet it seems like the most judgmental people to exist are these “religious” Muslims. I fell off of my prayers a couple of years ago but still tried to pray here and there but heard comments from Muslims saying things like “if you’re not gonna pray them all, don’t even bother praying at all”, “you’re a Kafir if you don’t pray”, “you’re depressed because you don’t pray”, etc. These comments put really bad tastes in my mouth because if someone is struggling with their prayer, you should support and encourage them, not make them hate their religion.

Additionally I’ve gotten numerous rude comments about not wearing hijab, being in relationships, not knowing the whole Quran, etc etc. How I live my life is no one’s business but these “religious” Muslims try to make it theirs. They think forcing their beliefs on me is going to make me magically follow their lead.

A few months ago I went to Umrah and I came back a different person. I had clarity and felt closer to my deen. Earlier today, I posted on a different Muslim subreddit seeking Islamic advice (as I am still learning) and I got DRAGGED in the comments. I asked the same advice on the general advice subreddit and the people there were being so understanding and supportive.

People wonder why the Ummah is divided and this is exactly why. When someone shares their struggles, they’re looking for a safe space to get support, not to be mocked and ridiculed by people who think they’re holier than thou. It makes someone bitter towards Islam and these same people that think they’re doing others favors by shoving Islam, “Haram”, and judgements down someone’s throats are the same reason people turn away from religion.

May Allah (swt) protect us all.

P.S. please don’t comment any holier than thou nonsense. You’re not a prophet nor will you ever be so follow your deen and mind your own business.
