As being an Hindu and i believe in Allah and for the last 5 to 6 months I'm going for prayer to masjid and shall I pray Tahajud and will ALLAH help me

وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ "And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. It is they who are ˹truly˺ rebellious." [Surah Al Hashr, ayah:19] Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu. My question is what it means to "forget oneself?" How does it manifest in our daily lives? Examples based on the world in 2025/signs of it, are preferable to make it easier to relate & to self-reflect to improve inshaAllah.

I recently got answer from here that we shouldn't much talk with na mehram teacher unnecessary but what if teacher is elderly and have children and can we see them while they are explaining lessons or can we see female teachers who are explaining online bcoz they are explaining nice and I don't like any other explaining what's the ruling plz reference with hadeeth..

I've been praying since I was 13 years old, but now I'm learning about all the new nuances that, as it turned out, made all my prayers invalid. First, I learned that during ghusl, you need to wash the skin under your nails, straighten your hair with your fingers so that the water reaches your scalp, and rinse your navel, but I didn't do that because I didn't know that I need to do it. I performed a new, correct, ghusl. It's been 1 month, and now I've learned that during prostration (sudjud) you need to touch the floor/carpet with your nose, but I didn't know, and I didn't touch the floor with my nose. Question: Do I need to make up for all the previous prayers now? Now I am afraid that I will do prayers, and after a long time I will find out about some minor nuance again, and again all my prayers will be invalid.

I am a MD radiologist. To give some context I live in a non Muslim majority country. I work in a hospital 6 days a week. In our department there are 5 radiologist including me. Only 1 of them is female and rest all are male. And I am the only muslim there. I chose radiology because I had a good rank and it is also the top sought profession with a small closing rank. Now our typical day involves CT scan, MRI, USG not only of pregnancy but also to evaluate organs like the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas, to examine muscles, tendons, and joints, Vascular ultrasound,Thyroid ultrasound, Pediatric ultrasound, Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram), Prostate ultrasound, Other Ultrasound-guided procedures. Now we do have a good patient load hence everyone is busy. For female reproductive part disease related and breast related issues the female radio handles it almost 99% of time and also there is patient preference in this case. Rest work is done by division of labour. Now as far as how work is concerned there is a male and a female attendent for respective genders regardless of the doctor's gender they do all covering, uncovering positioning, etc. We keep a device on belly(for ultrasonography) or the parts(for other disorders, not pelvis and breast for me) and it captures the image(so no direct physical contact), I study and report. A or two family member is always present and the attended is also there for full time. I always keep my gaze lowered, don't look anything more or less than what area is required, nor go in excess talking with women. Sometimes there is emergency for female patients and I by duty have to attend it(we have divided work load). Am I sinful for operating on female patients, like ultrasonography or say artery blockage in hand, broken bone or blockage in back?

How do I repent if I have hit someone without that person having done anything to me? Can I repent to Allah only because i am scared to confront others.

If someone donates money to what seems like a charity but in fact— it turns out — is a scam— a front for a crime operation and they are ***confident*** the resources will go toward more crime are they required to recoup the funds donated to the criminal operation? Does the size of the sum matter? And what if more crime is known to have already been committed with part of the contribution but not all? And what if one knows the 'authorities' who might deal with such crime to be impotent ... is one required to act personally?

Asslamualikum I have a doubt I am getting a lot of headache Can't we talk to our teachers who are female or can't we see them bcoz they are na mehram but in our school there are so many na mehram teachers and it is difficult to change school and teacher asks some questions and most of the teachers are elderly woman who have children can't we see them when they are teaching...

My wife has decided to separate because of reason that has happened is beyond repair. She asked me to get out of the house and I did, I reassured kids I am going to be back as they are still under 10. But my wife has decided to be separate. I am in another city at my relative. She been talking to kids about what happened and how dad is not gonna live with them. I have met them but she is not happy for me to meet like that. I want to know what rights I have on my kids, how can we make sure kids upbringing is co parenting. What goes Islam says about it? This is the second time she told me to get out of the house even I tried to separate the bed once but she won’t leave me alone. She has anger management issues. I wanna know in light of Quran how and what to continue when kids are involved.

Assallam allaikum, I wanted to ask if playing shooter games where you have to kill opponents or AI enemies is halal or not. some sheikhs said the same thing that it isn't halal since it is violent and may impact children behaviour and personality and such but many muslims have tried to argue back saying they have not noticed change in both their personality and behaviour not in recent times nor ever. in other words the concept of killing or hurting others in real life didn't come to their head and I felt the same too. However ofcourse I am not a mufti or someone knowledgable enough to decide what is haram or halal for myself. So if I am concious enough to see the effect of such games or not does that still make it haram for me to play?

I joked with my teacher a while ago and I think he didn't like my joke but didn't say anything, I am too embarrassed to apologize to him. Is making dua and doing good deeds for him enough or do I have to apologize?

I am a muslim male. When I was a child a person older than me had anal sex with me several times. When I was a teenager I had oral sex with one of my cousins. Does that make me a fornicator? According to Quran 24:3 A fornicator does not marry except a fornicator. How can I get married?

I come from a Christian backround but am considering islam.truly understanding classical theistic divine simplicity led me to Tawheed,but I heard that sunni islam rejects divine simplicity so I am confused to what proofs there are in your system for Tawheed? I heard that in orthodox islam God's attributes are not identical or numerically the same as his essence(Though I heard that in the Maturidi it was but I don't think thats true,yet they deny absolute Divine simplicity),so it seems he can have posterior metaphysical parts wich make him up. why then cannot there be one essence and three 'persons' or subsisting relations like the eternalist modalists hold(catholics) or even three essences giving rise to three persons each(like Social trinitarians believe)? Am I wrong that God has parts in orthodox islamic schools like Maturidi or A'shari? if God is absolutely simple,or if he is absolutely one it would follow that he is absolutely simple wouldn't it,and then it would follow that there can be no internal subsisting relations(like the FSH modalism of the catholics) in a absolutely simple being wich would be a step towards absolute monotheism. But orthodox islam has denied this conception if I am correct? From what angle would the orthodox muslim argue against the Trinity in it's two understandings(Eternal Father-son-spirit modalism of the classical theists and the veiled Tritheism of the Social Trinitarians who reject divine simplicity like Platinga and some modern protestants)is basically what I'm asking? wouldn't a being who's essence is identical to its existance be absolutely simple?A being who's essence is not identical to it's existance is Created.the definition or synonym of a uncreated unconditioned being is a being that has its essence and existance as one and the same,yet from what I've studied this would lead to absolute Divine simplicity wich only the Imamiyah affirm? What am I getting wrong here?and from your perspective as a a'shari or maturidi what are the lists of philosophical arguments for Tawheed against multiplicity of entities as subsisting relations in one essence as the catholics hold,and there being three unique essences and three persons as the social trinitarians hold?

Assalamualaikum, I've been constantly experiencing was was in all aspects of worship (do not read if ur facing the same situation as I ended up mimicking other people's obsessive actions as well) whether it is my wudhu that I have to redo 3+ more time or doubting the purity of my clothes, my pronunciation ect... or if I released discharge during prayer (this one always turns out to be false so it easier for me to ignore it ) but there's also mainly if I did one or two sajda. For the later one recording myself praying and then checking made me realize that I've always performed it well everytime. So can I not even second guess it even tho the doubt is strong and am I allowed to not repeat any Salah regardless of how doubtful am I at least until the waswas is gone? and will Allah hold me accountable for not acting upon anything until it gets better?

I've been trying to research but haven't come across a trusted answer, i really like drawing and i love anime and like drawing it, i would like to ask if its permissible to draw anime characters without the intention of worshipping, idolising, recreating Allah's creations and basically just without bad and haram intentions, heres some examples.

Peace be upon you. I dealt with a large company, and they were unfair in some of their dealings. They took more money than the contract stipulated, and I paid them money for services, but they didn't do it, which created for me many problems with my business. They didn't abide by all the terms of the contract. Since they are a large company with lawyers, I couldn't do anything but terminate the contract. They took about $7,000 from me in total. However, when they paied the final invoice, they made a mistake and overcharged me by $10,000. Should I inform them of the mistake? Or should I just ignore it since they didn't treat me honestly? The amout that they give my error is more that what i owe them, but if i signal that to them i will be forced to give back all the 10k May God bless you.

I know the surface will be made level, but does this mean the earth itself will be reduced to a flat disk or will it still be round? Jazakhallah

i'm listend and read different sayings about Istikhara. But still seeking it's authentic way to do.

My question is related to women clothing in prayer.If prayer in tight clothes is haram than how is the prayer not invalid?

Assalamu'alaikum. I want to buy and play a life simulation game called The Sims 4. The game lets you control the character's life (their basic needs, career, relationships, etc). It has two modes, the first mode is creating a character and playing that character. The second mode is build mode where you build the house. The character life mode has kissing, uncovered awrah and a lot more haram stuff in it for me to list. Basically it resembles the western culture. Build mode is just building houses, design interiors, placing the furniture, decorating the garden and other things. No characters. I choose this game because I see no house building games better like this one. I only want to play the game just to build houses and design interiors. I can even learn some interior architecture stuff and see the real picture of what the house looks like rather than sketching it. I avoid playing the animated characters and mute the music in the game. Is this allowed? Is this permissable? Jazāk Allāhu Khayran.
