Allah ﷻ is the most merciful to His creation, believers & disbelievers included. He is in charge of provision and life for all of them, blesses them with nourishments, health, well-being, happiness, luxuries, wealth.
Allah (الحكيم) chose the Arabic language for His final book to the mankind the Qur'an (الْقُرْآن) for a reason. While English, French, and Russian languages have around 500,000 words, 150,000 words, and 130,000 words in its vocabulary respectively, Arabic language اللغة العربية
has 12.3 million words in its own, making it the richest language in vocabulary, by far. To give you an understanding, there are around 500 names in Arabic for a lion, more than a 100 for love, 80 for a sword etc. no other language competes with Arabic in richness. Ibn Faris says, “When Allah the Exalted chose Arabic to explain (His words), it showed that the other languages, abilities and levels were below Arabic.” (As-Shahibi fi Fiqh al-Lughah, 1/4) Not knowing the Arabic language is the main why we all have sects in Islam! Especially in the Asian subcontinent, every beginner, student of knowledge is coming up with his/her own interpretation of Quranic ayahs and ahadith. The Quran was revealed in Arabic. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spoke in Arabic. The Sahabah spoke in Arabic. Start learning Arabic to understand the religion of Allah in the purest form. People read a single translation of a single translator of a Hadith or Quran ayah in English, Urdu, Hindi, Turkish, Malay, etc and misquote it in a completely different example without knowing the context of the Hadith or Ayah and the literal meaning of the Arabic words. Give at-least 30 minutes of your day in learning Arabic (MSA) / Classical Fusha. I recommend first starting with learning Arabic from the Quran. You will never recognise the beauty of Allah’s word unless you learn Arabic, the raw pure form in which the Criterion was revealed! At least learn the language to an extent to understand the context and theme of the ayah whenever the Imam recites in prayers. Umar bin al-Khattab [May Allah be pleased with him] said, تعلموا العربية فإنها تثبت العقل وتزيد في المروءة “Learn Arabic, for it strengthens the intelligence and increases one’s noble conduct” Source: Shu’ab al-Eemaan, al-Bayhaqi (4/187)Dear Moderator,
I understand that. I have updated the question. Kindly approve it in your system.
Please don't get me wrong.
For the sake of Allah, you are doing wrong here. There should be no limits to the amount of posts that can be done under r/islam, because at the end we will go to our graves, why are you limiting the amount of digital footprint a Muslim can provide in the internet for future generations to see and clarify their doubts.
Once per 2 days?
Please be joking. This is Islam, you can't limit a needy person's question. After all, these are automatically removed for moderation, what difference does it make if I ask 10 questions, after all these have to be accepted from you servants of Allah. The questions, these are from the will of Allah, why are you limiting them?
Second of all, kindly approve the many questions I asked that are pending approval, not because I'm demanding you, but it seems to me, you are doing it purposefully. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. But please reply to me so I know where you guys are coming from.
JazakAllah khair,

زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْقَنَـٰطِيرِ ٱلْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلْخَيْلِ ٱلْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ وَٱلْحَرْثِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسْنُ ٱلْمَـَٔابِ ١٤
The enjoyment of ˹worldly˺ desires—women, children,1 treasures of gold and silver, fine horses, cattle, and fertile land—has been made appealing to people. These are the pleasures of this worldly life, but with Allah is the finest destination.
[Quran 3:14]
Disclaimer: This is my own interpretation of Surah Al Imran Verse 14. Don't take these as factual statements, only Allah knows the meaning behind the order of His words!
Since Allah mentioned women first in terms of the worldly desires, I guess it is the biggest trial for our Ummah
Especially now, the rise of delayed marriages causes Zina, glazing at non-mahram, breakdown of society, hyper-sexualization, due to the 'cultural' Islam that has been propagated: finish your Bachelor's Degree, get a stable job, buy a house, after all these processes, you get to marry by a feeble age 30. That's if Allah allows you to live to that age. That's clearly against the nature of basic human needs; fitrah of humans that Allah has ordained for us.
“The best people of my Umma are those who get married and have chosen their wives and the worst people of my nation are those who have kept away from marriage and are passing their lives as bachelors.”
(Mustadrakul Wasail by Muhaddith Noori, Vol 2, Pg 531).
In this modern day and age, it eliminates and extinguishes these immoral diseases of the youth:
- It protects you from Dating
- It protects you from committing self-pleasure
- It creates a family
- When a man marries a wife, he completes half his deen (the other half will never be able to be completed in this life)
- When a man has a daughter, she opens a gate from Jannah for him
So marrying is 100% recommended, but it is not obligatory, as far as I've heard.
What is your opinion? Or, is wealth a bigger Fitna for the Ummah? I would still beg to differ, due to this hadith:
Usamah ibn Zayd reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I have not left a trial after me more harmful to men than women.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5096
You're actually right. Allah has mentioned this psychology/obsession in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Imran:
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْقَنَـٰطِيرِ ٱلْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلْخَيْلِ ٱلْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ وَٱلْحَرْثِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسْنُ ٱلْمَـَٔابِ ١٤
"Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return."
[Quran 3:14]
The word وَٱلْقَنَـٰطِيرِ ٱلْمُقَنطَرَةِ has been translated as:
- Heaps of Stored Up [gold, silver]
- Hoarded Treasures
- accumulated piles
If you don't want to be burned, you must follow the religion which God has ordered us to follow. Keep in mind, the hell we are talking about isn't what we see in movies or TV shows, according to Islamic sources:
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Your fire, which the son of Adam ignites, is only one of seventy parts from the fire of Hell.” Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2843
أُوقِدَ عَلَى النَّارِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى احْمَرَّتْ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَ عَلَيْهَا أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى ابْيَضَّتْ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَ عَلَيْهَا أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى اسْوَدَّتْ فَهِيَ سَوْدَاءُ مُظْلِمَةٌ
"The Fire was kindled for one thousand years until it reddened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it whitened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it became blackened, so it is dark black."
Jami’ at-Tirmidhi (2591)
Hell is eternal doesn't mean we yearn and have no choice other than to enter Hell.
God has given us the free will to choose, why would you still want to risk for the option that if you were to be dipped in for a millisecond, it will:
The Prophet Muhammad said: {The happiest man in the world of those doomed to the Fire (Hell) on the Day of Judgment will be dipped in the Fire once. Then he will be asked, “Son of Adam, did you ever see any good? Did you ever experience any blessing?” So he will say, “No, by God, O Lord!”}1
[Sahih Muslim 2807]
Sister. Thank you so much for asking. Please finish eating, complete any work before reading this. I spent 1hr writing this. May it be of benefit to you if Allah wills.
If you didn't already know, you are already Muslim but you've been deviated from the path. A very newborn is born in a state of purity in which he is ready to accept the belief in Allah and His Oneness which is the fitrah. Then, his parents either teach him according to this fitrah or take him apart from the Right Path via teaching him wrong creeds and beliefs.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be him) also said, “Every child is born with the fitrah, but his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Before you try to enter Islam, satan whispers thoughts like ‘its too restrictive’, ‘boring’, ‘no freedom’ to prevent you from following the religion of one true God Allah causing eternal damnation in the afterlife.
Surely Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers to become inmates of the Blaze. [Quran 35:6]
There is a reason you’re being attracted to Islam, in Quran:
You will surely find the most bitter towards the believers to be the Jews and polytheists and the most gracious to be those who call themselves Christian. [Quran 5:82]
(and you will find the nearest in love to the believers those who say: “We are Christians.”) refers to those who call themselves Christians, who follow the religion of the Messiah and the teachings of his Injil. These people are generally more tolerant of Islam and its people, because of the mercy and kindness that their hearts acquired through part of the Messiah’s religion.
Christianity preaches love and kindness. He who strikes you on the right Cheek, then turn the left cheek for Him, Bible 57:27.
And because,
The Prophet (peace and blessings be him) said in a Qudsi Hadith, “Allah Almighty says, ‘I created all My servants hunafa’ (i.e. following the original religion of monotheism), then the devils misled them from their religion and forbade them from what I made lawful for them and commanded them to associate with Me that which I have not sent down any authority for.” (Muslim)
Once you realize the truth, accept it.
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! The truth has surely come to you from your Lord. So whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. And I am not a keeper over you.” [Quran 6:104]
Trust me, when you enter Islam, Allah will make all of these worries non-existent. It’s about the initiation that’s time consuming. Ever wondered why studying is actually fun when you are in the midst of it? But when you try to leave listening to Music or watching that Tiktok reel to start studying is the hardest part, not even the studying itself? That’s just one of the many worldly parables I can compare it to.
Are you worried about people not accepting you for Islam?
Are you worried of the criticism you’ll face everyday?
If you believe in Allah, the only God, these miniscule worldly problems go away as soon as you enter the true religion:
Be patient ˹O Prophet˺, for your patience is only with Allah’s help. Do not grieve over those ˹who disbelieve˺, nor be distressed by their schemes. [Quran 16:127]
Say, “Surely my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for Allah—Lord of all worlds. [Quran 6:162]
Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam. [6:125]
Whenever you walk alone in the street at night sister, you may feel unsafe. But when you have your brother alongside you, you feel safe from any outside threats.
We are talking about God here.
Whenever you walk in Earth, without recognizing God, you will always be indecisive, scared, anxious, worldly problems will get the best of you etc. This is why you're indecisive right now, you don't know what to follow.
The reason Catholicism is attractive is:
1. You were born one, so you are more familiarized with it
2. If I were to enter a synagogue, I would still feel connected to the vibe, but what's all that, without feeling God's presence. Wouldn't I start doubting it?
Let me ask you, isn't God meant to be feared. Why would God punish you if you fear Him?
Why should Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful? Allah is ever Appreciative, All-Knowing. [Quran 4:147]
God - Allah is meant to be feared and loved. Balancing the two wings of Fear of Allah and hope of mercy from Him, that's a sign of Iman 'faith' in Islam. But you know what? Let's balance it:
When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath. [Hadith Qudsi 1]
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that." [Sahih Bukhari 3321]
https://sunnah.com/qudsi40 <-- get to know Allah's nature here, you'll realize all along the definition of forgiveness was restricted to Christianity. I can share a thousand more narrations. + Let me say here, when you enter Islam, you don't lose Christ, you learn the truth about him.
+ You cannot say your mother won't reach Jannah.
You surely cannot guide whoever you like ˹O Prophet˺, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ˹fit to be˺ guided. [Quran 28:56]
If Allah is guiding you right now, who says he won't guide your mother. Did you before writing this question, ever ponder in your lifetime that you would consider the option of reverting to Islam? (reverting, since you're already born in the natural disposition of Islam)
The reason you are writing the post is you're willing to be guided by Allah.
DM me sister. I will answer all your questions. Hope this helped by the will of God!
Fear Allah and lower your gaze! Every woman you see on the street is your sister for the sake of Allah, although they are non-mehrams, change your mindset. They are not objects nor walking pieces of meat, 🥩 rather women with the same feelings and emotions your mother and sisters have.
It’s hard to practice what you preach, but it is a matter of resolution. Never forget Allah is watching you, even while you are reading this post.
You want a righteous spouse? But you keep staring at every women you see on the street. Don’t you want to show Allah that you are mindful of Him and you will, after reading this post, lower your gaze for the rest of your life? Wallahi Allah will bless your future or existing marriage, your wife will start appreciating you more, or you appreciating her. No more fights at all.
The eyes have a direct influence towards the heart. قلوب Save your heart from sins, it completely destroys barakah in your relationship with your mother, sister, or wife.
You cannot call yourself a man if you lustfully look at women, you haven’t understood Islam. Seek knowledge regarding the rights of Women and why Allah created them, their purpose and attributes. A true Muslim protects women, not view them as objects!

If you can’t focus on Salah, avoid excessive eating, socialization, and sleeping. These acts make our heart void of the remembrance of Allah, our beloved God and nurturer.
Replace it with reading Quran with translation (1 page per day), a beginning is better than nothing.
Replace it with memorizing 5 ayahs per day. Instead of memorizing song lyrics.
Replace music with Quran (the word of Allah) in your heart will increase concentration in Salah and developing Taqwa (consciousness or mindfulness of Allah).
Imagine dying in the state of Taqwa in Sujood during a prayer you prolonged due to the above tips.
Follow this account and all Dawah accounts in Instagram you see. Replace your for you page with Islamic advice and dawah instead of music, celebrities, partying, etc.
What I’ve seen in the era of beautification and liberalism, is that most men have lost their Gheerah (protective jealousy) over their women. 🙋♀
Fear Allah and be a man. Protect your wife from slanderous looks and men with animalistic tendencies. A woman uncovered is a lollipop to a man🍭, regardless of how pious he is.
I would like to share an Arabic poem by Imaam Al Qahtani which directly targets the innate desire and nature of man (to look at beautiful women) — but Islam only allows to look at your wife, which is rightfully yours. Before sharing the poem take this Hadith into consideration:
“No man is alone with a woman but the Shaitaan is the third one present.”
[Narrated by Ahmad, al-Tirmidhi and al-Haakim; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’ (2546)
Now the poem:
Don’t be alone with a women in suspicion [of sin],
Even if you are devoted in worship like Banān (the great ascetic and Muhaddith of Iraq and Egypt) 🕍
Indeed men who stare at women,
Are like dogs circling around a piece of meat, 🥩
If the Lions do not protect those meat,
It will be devoured without recompense or value,🪙
Do not accept affection from women,
for their hearts quickly incline and attract,🫀
Do not leave anyone alone with your family,
for over women, do brothers kill one another, 🩸
and lower your eyes from the observation of women,
and the beauty of minors and young boys.
- Radical Feminism identifies "Men" as being the enemy
- Patriarchal Society only way "Women" will be free if they "divorce" themselves from "Men"
Examples: Sperm Banks
- Women forgot the responsibilities given to them by Allah azzawajal
