Salam brothers and sisters I hope you're doing well. I've seen posts from people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community talking about how Islam is a homophobic religion and so is the Quran as they take our beliefs as offense because one of them said "your religion is calling me sinner" and they complain that Muslims and Christians are "homophobic" as we only respect lgbtq+ but don't support them. They think that by not supporting them we're saying they "don't deserve basic human rights" I've heard my parents' advice to just stay quiet but what I want is to stand up for myself and others who are being remotely harassed and being called homophobic because I'm seeing theophobia occurring to Muslims, Christians or anyone with religious faith more than any actual homophobia. So I wanted to ask how can I make others aware that I'm not trying to be hateful or homophobic while explaining that our religion is not meant to offend them? Because if I explain, they might likely say "you're using religion to backup your statement" and I don't want to just simply stay silent. I want to actually stand up and explain to them but without sounding mean or dismissive. I don't know what to say. I also feel that they're victimizing themselves because they believe some of us aren't "admitting" to being homophobic when we're not and using our religion as an "excuse" to "tolerate" them. While they demand respect, they're also disrespecting religious people by saying we're "allowed" to hate religion but we "can't" hate someone's sexuality and how being queer is a "choice" and religion "isn't a choice" I know that by asking questions about someone's religion is not at all criticising, but calling someone's religion "homophobic" isn't right.

Do Muslims get more sins for doing haram acts than non-Muslims as they are aware that it's wrong and shouldn't be done?

I need help concerning the fate of a person who exposes his sins whether out of pride or neglect. In an authentic hadith it is said that such a person will not be forgiven. Is this absolute? Can a mujahir still repent before he or she dies as he reaffirm his Iman? Or is it futile meaning there is no hope for such a person despite having Iman?

Hiiii! I’m a 16 y/o girl and a couple of years ago I found out that gossiping/backbite was haram, to be honest I didn’t know about it before and sinned unknowingly but when I did find out I did my best to stop. Now my question is do I still have to tell the people that I have wronged about what I have said if they don’t know and that I did it unknowing that it was a sin? And is it different if i just gossiped about them or if i backbite them bc i have seen some people say that if you gossiped about someone and they don’t know, you shouldn’t tell them and with backbiting some people say you don’t have to tell them if they do not know while others recommend you to tell them. And there is some people that i genuinely don’t remember that I have backbit? What should i do and how should i repent? And I have heard that sins committed out of ignorance are pardoned but I saw somewhere that it wouldn’t take all the consequences from backbiting (I don’t think it applies to other sins but idk I’m not a scholar). And to give more context I have done my best to ask forgiveness for the backbiting I have done to those that I remember but there are 1 person I remember I have backbite/gossiped about though I did it out of anger and ignorance (we have made up without realizing/ apologized ) and frankly I don’t think she want to know speak with me since we both will soon start high school in different schools. If it helps I have sincerely regretted what I have done and have spoken good about her when people said something negative about her or when I talk about her in general, I’m not sure she will add me back since Snapchat is the only way I somewhat can contact her. What should I do

I play roblox in which we can dress up our character how we like. So if I just change the clothes of my character without doing anything on the face is it permissible?

I had a dispute with a friend. For example, if a person tells another that there is nothing wrong if, take drugs, or cheat on his wife, or break an oath. Does he bear a sin for these words? My friend claims that if a person did not listen to the adviser, did not take drugs, did not cheat on his wife, did not break an oath. Then the person who advised this does not bear a sin. A sin will only occur if the person does something bad. And if this remains a conversation, then it is not a sin for the one who advised.

We know that in general the stronger the Iman is the lesser calamities someone has. Does this include waswas? Meaning that the smaller the amount of sins, the smaller the amount of waswas. Are large quantities of waswas punishment for sins? In other words the more good deeds we do and the lesser sins we do, this will cause the waswas to decrease the quantity of evil they contain and intensity and frequency. And the more bad deeds we do and lesser good deeds we do, this will cause the waswas to increase in quantity of evil they contain and intensity and frequency.

I have a story in mind that I want to write, but do not want to go against islamic law. The story would include heros and villains that would go to war , raids and pillaging, and evil things done by the villains. Would it be ok to have the villains do evil deeds but then be beat by the hero of the story that promotes good deeds, and good values.

Salaam I'm a 15 year old girl who goes to an islamic private school. Because of my mum constantly urging me to wear the niqaab I decided to wear it a year back. My older sister also started to wear the niqaab on from a young age and she has had no problems with it. Recently I've took it back off.This was because of many reasons, some being, I no longer felt like I was doing it for allah. Rather I felt like I was wearing the niqaab to keep up the reputation of my family. To not bring shame to my family which I think is absolutely ridiculous. Also I had no confidence when I was wearing the niqaab. I felt embarrassed and it was just something that I felt attracted more attention than necessary. Not only this I don't think my imaan was at that stage where I could take this huge step in covering my face permanently. Lately my mum keeps pressuring me to wear the niqaab again.Its come to the point where I despise wanting to wear it. It's not like I dress inappropriately. I wear the abaya or something that substitutes to it for example a long dress. I don't go out alone and I definitely don't have any male friends. Knowing this my mum is practically forcing me to the point where I have refused to go outside. My mum makes the situation out to be bigger than it is. She asked my dad to tell me and I still stood my ground. My father doesn't do or say much about it which I'm grateful for however my mum expects me to just obey her in this matter. I feel like it's oppression. My mum has stripped me off of my feelings, my own opinions and judgment. Can she really do this to me islamically? I'm old enough to know what is right and wrong. Wearing the niqaab is a life long decision that is personal. Right now I don't have much of a choice. I know for a fact that I'm probably going to wear it in the end. Not because I want to but because I'm being forced to. Despite this I still want to put effort in to try and get my mum to understand me. How can I do that? Is my mum sinning by doing what she is? I love my parents and I'm not one to disrespect them like this but standing for what I believe in is something I've learned from a young age.

I am a proud-to-be Muslim (which means I believe in Islam), and I recently had a lucid dream, and I have always wanted to see porn in there (because normal porn is haram). I was clapping a woman there. I did not wake up until 10 seconds or so. So the point is was that haram?

As I am a student, I pray dhur in school during my break (pretty short) During my prayer today, I heard the sound of what I thought was either a bird or a rat which made me look up front (not at the rooftop though and for a second) (I think by instinct since I got scared). I was already late to my class so I couldn't restart my prayer again, is my prayer valid? If not, can I redo it?

It seems to be commonly accepted in Islam that the prophet Jesus was "without sin," in contrast to the rest of humanity — even the other prophets — arguably(?) even Muhammad himself. (Although see https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/215/was-the-prophet-sinless and, again, note that most of my reading so far has been from Christian-evangelical sources who are motivated to elevate Jesus above Muhammad.) I can find plenty of references to this doctrine of "sinlessness of Jesus" via Google, but all the top hits are blatantly from a Christian-evangelical point of view (e.g. [Edward Sell's _Faith of Islam_](https://books.google.com/books?id=K7jjoomZVgEC&pg=PA248) ; e.g. resources from "The Spirit of Islam" and "CIRA International"). ([English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_in_Islam) does not go very deep on this subject.) I'd like to find out — from relatively authoritative, English-language, yet non-Christian, sources — what historical Islam has to say on the sinlessness of Jesus; e.g. commentaries on [the hadith excerpted below](https://sunnah.com/urn/43910) , whether different sects/denominations disagree on this question, etc. In particular I wonder whether any division of Islam has ever claimed that Jesus was _not_ sinless. > Then the people will say, 'Don't you see to what state you have reached? Won't you look for someone who can intercede for you with your Lord?' > > Some people will say to some others, 'Go to Adam.' So they will go to Adam and say to him. 'You are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His Own Hand, and breathed into you of His Spirit (meaning the spirit which he created for you); and ordered the angels to prostrate before you; so (please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are? Don't you see what condition we have reached?' Adam will say, 'Today my Lord has become angry as He has never become before, nor will ever become thereafter. **He forbade me (to eat of the fruit of) the tree, but I disobeyed Him.** Myself! Myself! Myself! (I am preoccupied with my own problems.) Go to someone else; go to Noah.' > > So they will go to Noah and say (to him), 'O Noah! You are the first (of Allah's Messengers) to the people of the earth, and Allah has named you a thankful slave; please intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' He will say, 'Today my Lord has become angry as He has never become nor will ever become thereafter. **I had (in the world) the right to make one definitely accepted invocation, and I made it against my nation.** Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Abraham.' > > They will go to Abraham and say, 'O Abraham! You are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and His Khalil from among the people of the earth; so please intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' He will say to them, 'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before, nor will ever become thereafter. **I had told three lies** (Abu Haiyan (the sub-narrator) mentioned them in the Hadith) Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Moses.' > > The people will then go to Moses and say, 'O Moses! You art Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah gave you superiority above the others with this message and with His direct Talk to you; (please) intercede for us with your Lord Don't you see in what state we are?' Moses will say, 'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before, nor will become thereafter. **I killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill.** Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Jesus.' > > So they will go to Jesus and say, 'O Jesus! You are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and His Word which He sent to Mary, and a superior soul created by Him, and you talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' Jesus will say. 'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before nor will ever become thereafter. **Jesus will not mention any sin,** but will say, 'Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad.' > > So they will come to me and say, 'O Muhammad ! You are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the last of the prophets, and **Allah forgave your early and late sins.** (Please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?"

What does this hadith mean? > Allah's apostle said," By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them." > — [Sahih Muslim](http://sunnah.com/muslim/50/13) We are also taught in Islam that doing sin is wrong but this hadith says that if you dont commit sin, you will be replaced by people who commit sins and ask forgiveness? What does this hadith mean?

Do minor Sins become major if we do all time same Sins? I heard as well there is difference of oppinion in this matter too I mean if there are no minor sins,like all Sins are major Sins and no minor and repeating minor sins turns into a major sin, minor sins lead to major sins, and not considering minor sins a big deal is a major sin, then it sure sounds like every single Muslim will be going to Hell besides these great holy men.

When I was younger I accused a Christian girl in my class for kissing another girl even though I didn't see her do it, and she got in trouble for it. I don't know if they believed her when she said she didn't do it or not and I don't know how it and if it effected her. I grew up and now I feel so horrible for that and I want to apologize to her but the thing is that she left the school and I also changed school and now I have no idea where she is and I can't apologize to her. What do I do? Should I ask for forgiveness or will I not be forgiven at all? Or should I make dua for her? Because one of the major sins is accusing a chaste woman of Zina and I did that when I had no idea and I regret it now I'm also worried if I have caused problems in her family because of this
