Salam My question here is that is it permissible for a women to visit the graveyard while she's on her period?

Salam brothers and sisters, In the Quran surah 7 ayat 27 it says, "O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe" Also in the Quran surah 28 ayat 56, "Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided. So the big question here is does Allah or Satan lead us astray as humans? Hope you guys can clear this up for me. Also this is a problem because even if there is one problem with the Quran the entire book goes down that's why you guys should be cautious when answering this for a confused brother. Also this brings up a question of free will so do either of these beings guide us as these verses say or do we do what we want to do? Salam

I have a cousin whom i have been long time best friends with since really young age and we still hang around here and there. Would it be haram to tell her i love her as a cousin (Cousin Love)

As salamunalaikum people. Bismillah hir rahma nir raheem I am a girl of Indian origin. I live in Delhi. I am studying at Delhi University. I live in the hostel. The problem is that I had a friend from the ranks of male. We used to chat(clean chat) and just discuss our problems. 1 year ago he proposed me to be his girlfriend. I refused keeping in mind the laws of sharia. After 2 months he sent me an edited pic of mine. It was a vulgour pic. Then after thinking alot it was clear that he used my profile pic to get the image edited. He almost edited ten pic of mine and sent to me. He also started blackmailing me that if i dont sleep with him he will leak the pics. I have lived in a sense of horror since then. I tried every thing i could. For one year I couldn't sleep properly. Yesterday in a majlis a friend of mine suggested me this site. All I need is someone who can edit pics perfectly so that i can force him to leave me alone or I'll sent the pics to his parents. Kindly help. Jazakallah Khair.

In Islamic teachings we find a relationship between fasting and patience. Although apart from all Islamic texts, one can guess such a relationship (because avoiding eating and drinking and other invalidating cases of fasting need patience) yet this issue is clarified in some narrations. As an interpretation of the Almighty God’s statement “Seek help from patience and prayer” [Holy Quran, 2:153] quoted from Imam Sadiq (A.S) what is meant by patience is fasting. (Mir’atul Uqool, v.16, p.201) Yes brothers and sisters! When something hard occurred for you, one way is that you must get help from fasting to solve problems.

Salam everyone. I am in a very depressing state. Yesterday I had a fight with one of my friends. In anger I cursed him. Now I feel sorry. Is there any dua or namaz to undo the effect. The thing is that if by coincidence something happens to him, I will not be able to forgive myself. Please help. Jazakalla khair

I m 15 year old boy once when i was 12 year old my cousin just showed me a pornographic video after that i could'n stop mastrubating plz help me out i hate my self from this but when i dont i could not even sleep i feel like loneliness plz help me out of it

First of all, I'd like to say I'm new here and this is my first ever post. (Unfortunately), I'm not very religious, I've deviated and I decided today's a good day as any to try and turn things around Insha'Allah :). One thing that really bothers me having been born into a shia family, is the hate and criticism we shias get from all other sects. All of them have various hadiths (72/73 sects will go to hell and only one to heaven --> I know who narrated this btw but its still annoying) and such supposedly directed toward shias which denounce them. And its so confusing, especially for someone like me who does not have all the knowledge that helps affirm even have iman. I mean, these people are saying things like shias are kaffir, shias will go to hell etc. It's scary and makes me wonder if I'm on the right path. Majority of Muslims are sunni, so it makes me think that if all these Muslims are sunni then there has to be some kind of weight or reason behind that doctrine for the majority of the Ummah to be based upon it. I'm sure for some of you, who's knowledge and faith is better than mine, this makes me seem very stupid and unclever, which I'd agree with (but I'll fix it :)). Actually, I was just watching one of those short lectures on youtube with those speakers on black magic and there was a video playing with people who were preparing for the invocation of the shaitaan, it involved a man dressed in red whipping himself, and the speaker says, "Who does that remind you of(?)" and I could hear the people in the lecture sniggering. What bothers me is not the whipping thing, I know why people do it (I personally do not agree with it but anyways) I was bothered by how Shias are some kind of joke and public laughing stock. Can someone please explain and convince why shias will not be going to hell and they are not kaffirs? Why so many Muslims are Sunni? Why Shias are made fun of? Please can you give Hadiths as well. Thanks in advance,

There was a time a few years back when I was younger, I am 20 so when I was around 14. I not only avoided bad acts but I even avoided bad thoughts, naturally whenever I had a bad thought I would quickly be rid of it. Bad actions were out of the question, my gaze was low and it was hard for me to raise my gaze. When I saw other men stare at women I would feel ashamed but sadly now that I think of it, I have to keep telling myself to keep my gaze low and I still fail. I don't know where or what went wrong, I was so innocent but now I feel like my legions fighting against Satan are dead and only a few injured ones are limping around fighting Satan within me, so hopelessly losing. It is as though I have become my carnal desires, I continuously forget that I am not my desires and my desires are against me, I have to keep reminding myself. Each act I do is done for a selfish reason even charity is done for a selfish reason, not like the old days when I would just feel bad and give, now I give because I have been told it helps me. I offer prayer but even that is for a selfish reason because if I don't do it I will be punished and if I do it then I am saved from punishment, given rewards, and I would have either pleased people or Allah. When I don't know a person I like them but when I know them, I see their faults and as a result I lose heart for them and they become 'unworthy' in my eyes but the people who I don't know seem saintly and perfect and I am humbled before them. So I am forever spending money, treating people nicely, befriending them, only to forget them and repeat the process with new people. Even with the land I have a problem, when I live here in the UK, I see its problems and envy a different place but at the different place I envy what I left remembering what the old land had which the new one lacks. Even with the seasons, in winter I wish for Summer and in Summer I wish for winter. I have also lost the plot about why I should interact with men and the only motive with interaction with women is lust and because of this I also keep away from women. Part of me wants to be noticed, tells myself that I am good but another part of me doesn't want to show off, wants to be good without being noticed and tells me I am worthless and useless and low. I have no idea about my worth, I have achieved nothing but I have also achieved something, I want to be pious and I am pious but I am only fooling myself in thinking this way. The only thing my heart, mind and soul agrees on is where I should be buried, the type of soil I want to be left alone in. I am fearful of being buried in a wet soil, it seems cold, damp and dark to me. I feel attraction and warmth when I think of being buried in a dry, warm soil. The only thing I seem to be certain of is my grave, or at least what I want my grave to be like. I don't know anything else. I was also in awe of the Scholars when they were out of reach but now I realize that those who give light are sitting on darkness, like a light bulb which illuminates its surrounding but beneath it is a shadow. How can I get back to that innocence and revive the might of my legions against Satan? To live as a human, being Adam for which God praised himself and naturally giving priority to my soul before my desires. Please quote each problem and give me an advice on each one separately as best as you can. Thank you.

Salam Alaikum, I am going through a very difficult phase in life and I request all of you to please make Dua for me. Please keep me in your duas and pray to Allah (SWT) to relieve me of this problem behaqqe Sayyeda (as) wa Abeeha wa Ba'luha wa Baneeha (as). Ameen. Ilahi Aameen. JazaakAllah Khair. Wsalam, Your sister-in-faith
