what does this mean when you pray for something not to happen, but still that thing happen in a big way?
Whenever I pray to Allah swt to make things good and make a particular thing easy for me and solve the issue in a better way, then only after few days something bad happens about that issue. Else it gets more worst or it becomes impossible for me or for my family to tackle it.

Why some people using Allah's name for their house, apartments like (Al- noor, Al- kabeer ) is it permissible or a sin?
Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh my question is i saw some people uses allah's name for their houses like (Al-kabeer,Al noor )If the name has a meaning or refers to a function or quality that only Allah is capable of, like creating, resurrecting, lordship, etc. then it is not permissible...
Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh my question is i saw some people uses allah's name for their houses like (Al-kabeer,Al noor )If the name has a meaning or refers to a function or quality that only Allah is capable of, like creating, resurrecting, lordship, etc. then it is not permissible to call a human being by these names how can someone use Allah's name for their house,Allah's names all have Alif-Laam at the beginning (eg. Ar-Rahman, Al-'Aleem).
This prefix (alif-lam) makes a very strong form of the name; this prefix is unique to Allah alone
please correct me if im wrong is it a huge sin? may allah guides us to the straight path.

Why Allah is not helping me with very little wish
Assalamo Alaikum! Alhumdulillah, I am a muslim girl who loves her religion and a strong believer in ALLAH and His actions.

Assalamo Alaikum! Alhumdulillah, I am a muslim girl who loves her religion and a strong believer in ALLAH and His actions. I will not say that I am very religious because I have done sins, made mistakes all my life like any other human being would do however, I am someone who would recognise her flaws and do try to work on them. I try to say my prayers regularly and would try to avoid doing sins as much as possible.
I used to have very thick and long beautiful hair, clear skin etc but in the past few years, I noticed extreme hair loss and extreme acne on my face. This change was rather a sudden thing, I consulted doctors but there is nothing to worry about or any health issue. My hair is so thinning that I feel I’m going bald and might never be able to recover. I am not married yet and I feel I have become so ugly that no one would want to marry me, even if someone does, they surely will not be able to live with a bald wife for long.
I believe more in Allah than science or medicines, in research, it says that hair loss is permanent and irreversable. However, I didn’t believe in it and decided that I will seek Allah’s help as there is nothing impossible for Him. And so I did, I started praying more regularly, made duas and requested Allah to make my hair healthy and skin clear like before with the hope that Allah will help me. It’s been six months now and there is no change but feel my condition is not getting better but worse.
I know that Allah doesn’t like when one loses hope in Him and I strongly believe that you should never lose hope in Allah because ultimately Allah does support His followers. However, considering my current situation, I hate to say but at some point, I cry and start to lose hope because I think that when a muslim makes duas and Allah doesn’t grant him, it means He has something better planned for him. But in my case, I am just asking Allah to make my hair normal as they used to be and not make me go bald then what better there could be for myself and for my hair if Allah is not granting my wish. I have started to feel helpless and I ask Allah that I haven’t wished for something that is bad or anything, living with baldness will make my life hell and I will not want to live anymore. Of course, I’m only human, a woman and I can only tolerate to a certain level.
I feel too depressed becauss of thinking that I have only asked my hair back but Allah might never grant my wish because all I can see is progressive hair loss with no sign of healing.
I know people might think that why is she depressed over such a small thing but trust me these things could cause extreme Mental Health issues and low self-esteem that a person could forget to smile or lose hope to breathe. The more heartbreaking thing for me is that I have seeked Allah’s help and had such strong belief that only Allah can help me but no one else. But I am just losing hope and feel so depressed.
Can anyone please advise me what to do and how to connect more with Allah so He could help me and I don’t lose hope. Jazak Allah Khair for taking the time to read this and I would appreciate your kind response.

Daughter Supporting Family with Interest Money
Assalmualikum. I am a female living with my mother and siblings. I work as a freelancer and have some savings in my bank account. I know interest is prohibited, but my brother doesn't support us.

Assalmualikum. I am a female living with my mother and siblings. I work as a freelancer and have some savings in my bank account. I know interest is prohibited, but my brother doesn't support us. He never worked 3 years after my father's death, and now he works but spends all his money on himself. I deposited my savings in a bank account, and my mothers and sisters used that money. I live with them, but in order to save myself from that money, I give some extra money from my own earnings, like an amount sufficient for one person's expenses. Am I safe? or am I obliged to bear the costs of my sisters and mother. The interest money is enough for them to run the house, and my brother lives off of that money too.

Can I tell people that I have put my trust in Allah about a matter, when in reality I am facing a lot of anxiety about that matter?
I am a 34 years old unmarried woman with no fall-backs/backups in life. To cut a long story short, my career is also almost in a dumpster. It is sheerly the mercy of Allah that He is keeping me afloat, alhamdoliAllah. So I do feel a lot of anxiety about things. It's a continuous battle where fears a...
I am a 34 years old unmarried woman with no fall-backs/backups in life. To cut a long story short, my career is also almost in a dumpster. It is sheerly the mercy of Allah that He is keeping me afloat, alhamdoliAllah.
So I do feel a lot of anxiety about things. It's a continuous battle where fears and negative thoughts come in my mind, and I consciously tell myself (of course alhamdoliAllah) that Allah is so merciful that He will definitely take care of my and unfold the best plan for me, just like He has taken care of me so far.
When I meet people for a few minutes or hours in social gatherings, they give me a lot of unsolicited and superficial advise (which is not even intended at suggesting a solution for the challenges I face, but it is rather talk for the sake of talk), without thinking that if I could solve my problems, I would have done that.
My question is that is it OK if I keep telling the people that I have put my trust in Allah and Allah will make the best way out for me, I am sure of it (while in reality I do face anxiety related to these matters)?

Will there be any differences between the rewards for faithful men and women in Paradise according to Islam? If so, what are they?
Quran is specific about the kind of rewards faithful men would get in paradise. However, when I read the Quran I haven't found any clarity about what the faithful women would get in paradise.

How to interpret that Allah and the angels send prayers and blessings to the believers?
Allah tells us that HE and HIS angels send prayers and blessings the believers saying: > It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.([33:43][1]) In before this verse in...
Allah tells us that HE and HIS angels send prayers and blessings the believers saying:
> It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.(33:43 )
In before this verse in surat al-Baqarah we are informed that Allah sends prayers to some of the believers:
> Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided. (2:157 )
How should we understand this?
Is it something similar to those HE, HIS angels and the believers should send to our Prophet () as mentioned in (33:56 )?

I’ve watched videos and videos of Islamic motivational videos talking about how merciful Allah is to the sinner. But the thing is, it’s made me feel really guilty and vulnerable. Because I’ve began to think that it’s okay for me to sin because I know Allah will forgive me, and it’s made me lose the fear of Allah I need as a believer. To put it in different words, I feel like I’m taking advantage of Allah’s mercy.
- How can I get this fear of Allah back?
- How can I change my mentality to not sin as shamelessly?
- Would Allah stop forgiving me because of this?
**Note:** I still cry and feel remorse when I repent.
**Note:** I don’t shamelessly go around sinning, I still try my best to be a good Muslim and refrain from what’s been told to be haram.

What exactly is the philosophy behind sending blessings and prayer to our prophet in case of Allah and the angels?
Allah ordered us to send prayers and blessings to our prophet () saying: > Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so].

> Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace.(33:56 )
from the sunnah we know the rewards and wording for those who do perform this deed.
But what exactly is the case for Allah and the angels when they sent prayers and blessing to our prophet ()? Is there a benefit for Allah in doing this, I might assume that there is for the angels at least ... so my question might be why and how is Allah doing this then and how and what is the deeper meaning or the philosophy behind this???

Can anyone please help me with this? It's been frying my brain like an egg for some time. There are reports of the companions taking relics of the Prophet SAW in order to get *blessings*. A report regarding Khalid ibn Walid RA can be found where he used the hairs of the Prophet SAW and remained victorious in every ghazwa.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM BELIEVING IN AMULETS & TALISMANS?
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE EVENT OF DHAAT ANWAAT?
Indeed there are authentic reports where believing in such things is shirk. Isn't this a theological contradiction?

How can we be thankful to Allah?
Allah sends a lot of blessings in the form of answering prayers, helping, giving peace, protecting, giving respect and a lot of other forms. So, my question is, how can we be thankful to Allah for all his blessings?

Can a believer talk to Allah in Paradise about anything he wishes and any time he wishes?

I know that in worldly life, a believer cannot talk with Allah except through a prophet or messenger He sends to people, but what saddens me is that the Era of Prophets is closed permanently and now there is no way I can ask Allah questions about any matter based on this verse which Allah said:
>"And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise." ([**Quran, 42:51**](https://quran.com/42/51))
But, I don't know if there is a verse in which it says that a believer can talk with Allah in Paradise without any intermediate just like Moses. Or at least to be a strong, reliable and authentic narration which tells that a believer can talk with his Lord in Paradise about anything and any time he wishes.
Questions which I want to ask Allah directly are:
1. Oh Allah! Is it 100% that Transylvania truly belonged to Romania and never truly belonged to Hungary even though it was under occupation for some time?
2. Oh Allah! Is it 100% true that I as a Romanian am truly the descendant of Romans and Dacians? Just to have a confirmation only.
3. Oh Allah! Will You Create another 7 Universes after You destroyed the actual 7 Universes? And will You Create a new and countless civilizations around the 7 Universes after the destruction of these Universes and after the end of Judgment Day? Or we are first and last of Your creation?
The main reason I want to ask these questions, is because I want to have a confirmation to see which one is correct, Hungary or Romania regarding Transylvania. And also, someone said that the dacians were eradicated by Romans because they were a threat to Romans and I wanted to know the absolute truth about dacians, I want to know if they were eradicated or not.
**NOTE:** Could someone please answer my question? I would be really happy and grateful if you would do this. Because, honestly I tried to find the answer for this question but I didn't find anywhere, maybe I didn't know how to look for it. Could someone please bring me 100 authentic, reliable and strong narration which says if a believer can talk with Allah in Paradise as much as he likes and about anything and of course, any time he wishes? I really need some help in this matter.
Thank you.
