Assalamualaikum, What I'm about to say, I know it isn't nice to hear or anything. I am a born "Muslim". I never practiced Islam until before 2023 when I was 12-13. All was well, I felt connected to my lord and genuinely asked forgiveness for my sins. I started to slowly put on the hijab and you know, I just felt connected with my religion. Then in 2024, we moved to another city and I had stopped praying. I started commiting those sins again for that whole year. I would pray only some months when I really felt that Iman boost. Now in 2025, I promised myself to get back to my Deen. I started praying again from February and even made some goals I wanted to achieve this Ramadan. During this, I would get a lot of doubts about Islam and you know my heart felt heavy at some rules, but I concluded it's the words of Allah and I shouldn't question it. Now in Ramadan, these doubts only increased and before long, I started having negative thoughts about Allah. I questioned my faith so much and just 3-4 days ago, I have started to become arrogant to Allah (Astagfirullah) and my heart feels heavy whenever someone praises him. I know this is INCREDIBLY wrong, but this feeling isn't going away. Since when did I feel like this about Allah? NOW, I don't like that Allah calls us his servants (ASTAGFIRULLAH). I tell myself I have to be obedient and I do still pray daily so I can be an obedient servant of Allah. But idk man, my heart has now become empty and I am (ASTAGFIRULLAH) doubting Allah's existence even though there are signs Infront of me. I keep thinking of that verse, "Indeed, Allah guides whom he wills and he sends astray whom he wills." I believe I have become astray. WAY TOO FAR FROM MY RELIGION. I am aware this arrogance takes me out of the fold of Islam and so I repeat the shahada and ask Allah to take away this disgusting arrogance. I try to remember my humble origins but nothing is of help. Today, I felt like I couldn't feel Allah's presence in that way, you know. I cannot focus on anything and my heart feels empty, lost and unaffected in some way. Please, Please tell me I can still be redeemed. I don't want Allah to abandon me and nor do I want this disgusting arrogance.

I recently converted to Islam, and there are things that I don't understand. However, I am seeking answers. I have read a lot about how Allah forgives a person's sins if they sincerely repent from the heart, feel genuine regret, and strive not to repeat them. However, I came across an article on the internet that is unclear to me. Here is a quote from the article: "The first way to avoid or mitigate the punishment of Allah is sincere repentance. If a Muslim sincerely repents of a sin after committing it, then this repentance can contribute to the weakening of the punishment or forgiveness." This statement mentions both weakening the punishment and forgiveness. Does this mean there are cases where Allah may not completely forgive a sin but instead lessen the punishment? What exactly is being conveyed here? Is this an established Islamic teaching, or is it just the author's interpretation and should not be taken literally?

The 2nd commandment says not to make an image of anything that Allah created in the six days of creation. Furthermore, we are commanded to not worship the moon, as well as the sun and stars. Does the symbol of the crescent moon above mosques violate the 2nd commandment to not make images of the moon?

I've heard that imam Bukhaari did not consider the hadith in sahih Muslim on fasting on the day of Arafat expiating 2 years worth of sins to be authentic. https://www.abuaminaelias.com/fasting-on-day-of-arafat-or-not/ > ...He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. ... (Sahih Muslim ) Why was that?

As Muslims we do not celebrate holidays like Easter or Christmas. However if you were involved in an interfaith marriage (with someone from the "people of the book"), would the other person be prohibited from celebrating such holidays? Or are they allowed to celebrate as long as you (as a Muslim) do not, but just wish them "well" out of respect and politeness? Where does Islam stand on this?

What are the obligatory conditions for sacrificial slaughter of animals to be valid? Also what are the Sunnah recommendations to follow? I am asking about the details relevant to the actual act of slaughter and not for example the requirements regarding the animal such as its type, age and health etc. Please provide Quran, Hadith or Fiqh references. I keep hearing of stuff like 'can't use a serrated knife', 'offer the animal water' and 'cut the four vessels of the throat', but I am unsure about the references for these or how these are derived.

We pray 2 extra rakats after the morning prayer, 2 or 4 after duhr, 2 after maghrib and 3 after Isha. I always knew that they were extra and it's good to pray them but I don't know what they mean. Did Prophet Muhammad (pbup) used to do them and that's why we're doing them or did Allah (swt) say it's good to do them? Also what's the benefit? Any extra prayer is good of course, I'm just wondering if there is a hadith or something that will kind of clarify it for me.

Please verify the source of this Hadith: It is narrated in the Hadith Sharif that Allah (SWT) asked Prophet Musa (AS): "O Musa! Do you know by virtue of what I granted you superiority over all of creation and honored you with the title of 'Kalim' (The One Who Spoke with Allah)?" Prophet Musa (AS) replied: "O my Lord! I do not know why You granted me superiority over all creation. You know best." Allah (SWT) said: "O Musa! I saw you humbly prostrating yourself on the dust of the earth with humility and submission in My sacred presence. Therefore, I elevated you above all people in superiority and honor."

Well, I’ve promised Allah to not do a specific thing but I didn’t say Wallah I won’t do it Listen, so there’s this specific thing I hate and it isn’t haram and I know because I’ve done my research about it for a while now. Before I do it I’m genuinely concerned because I don’t want to sin and I feel heaviness in my chest whenever I think I’m doing something haram but All the sheioukh and u’ulama have said it’s halal I only promised Allah سبحانه وتعالى to not do it because I Hate it And if you’re curious of what it is it’s just a hobby I do when I’m bored, in the end there’s no use of it and it’s pretty much useless. Some think it’s a waste of time I only do it when I finish my prayer and Quran of the day, so it doesn’t really count as a waste of time.
