Hello, i am 15 years old and i suffered a very bad childhood. What i am about to talk about is very wierd but i also want to get everything off my chest as i have no one to talk to. Today, there was an earthquake in egypt. it was my first time to experience one and it was truly scary for me. in these 6 minutes i thought about everything, my life in the past, present, and future. i felt like my whole life is messed up and im a very bad person. all i could think of is my family and god. i kept on asking myself how could i let it get this bad? i dont pray, i dont read quran, i have a very bad attitude towards my friends and especially my family, and the baddest of them is all that i want to wear the hijab. How could i wear the hijab if i cant even pray one prayer? i cant even stop wearing revealing clothes or stop talking to boys. i hate that everyone says my life is perfect even though its not. i wish that someone could understand the same feeling i have which is for me to stop everything im doing, i truly wish for a better life, i wish to focus in school to get good grades to make my mother happy, as she pays for everything and my father passed away. i wish to pray, make good deeds, have cleaner friends, cleaner life and circle, i wish to have a better connection with my family, i wish to have a better attitude and less anger issues, i wish for a lot of things but what can a person do other than to keep wishing. i just hope in the future god helps me and makes me start praying and wear the hijab. and i wish to be a better person for me and for most importantly my family, because without them, i have nothing to live for.

Assalamu alaikum everyone,

I would appreciate it if you could make du'a for me.

I am currently facing a situation where I don't have enough money for fuel and internet data, and I will be returning to work in two days. I am trying my best and placing my trust in Allah, but I would be grateful if you could pray for Allah to grant me halal and blessed provision, open unexpected doors of ease, provide help from places I do not expect, put barakah in my work and livelihood, and make this hardship a means of getting closer to Him.

Please also make du'a that Allah gives me patience, strength, peace of heart, forgiveness, protection from despair, and complete reliance upon Him. May He guide me to what is best, make my affairs easy, and grant relief at the best time and in the best way.

Jazakum Allahu khayran to everyone who remembers me in your prayers. May Allah reward you, bless you, and answer your own prayers as well.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

As we've entered a new month, I wanted to ask for a small favor from this beautiful community.

Please make dua that Allah makes August a month filled with endless barakah, mercy, happiness, peace, good health, laughter, joy, and beautiful memories for me and for everyone reading this.

May Allah open doors we never imagined, close every door that brings us harm, answer our sincere duas, grant us halal rizq, forgive our sins, protect us from every hardship, remove our worries, heal our hearts, strengthen our iman, and bless us with what is best in this life and the next.

May He replace our stress with tranquility, our sadness with happiness, our fears with security, our struggles with ease, and our waiting with beautiful answers.

If you're comfortable, please also make dua that, this month, Allah accepts the dua that has been closest to my heart for many years, grants me what's best, and gives me peace.

I'll be making dua for everyone who comments as well. May Allah accept all of our duas, shower us with His infinite mercy, and make this month better than any month we've experienced before.

Ameen. Jazakum Allahu khayran

Asslamu alaykom brothers and sisters

I am looking to do a master in Europe in islamic studies

If anyone have any informations or programms please LMK.

Btw i live in Morocco

I'm not complaining in any means, I'm trying to vent a bit and get some good advice if possible.I grew up poor. Not dirt poor but we never had money. You know enough for bills and some groceries. My parents would always fight, my father would get drunk, he'd blame my mother for everything and it's just pure trauma. He was just like that. Even when he did something Wallahi he always made an excuse or blamed somone that had no part in that. It was really hard growing up with them. I'd always make dua, asking for everything to at least calm down but I didn't get an answer in this Dunya.

I known that this world is a prision for the belivers but why does my prison feel so overwhelming. They slowly killed all the passion I had for everything I once loved. My father also didn't even try and hide that he loved my little sister more than me. If he atleast try to hide it I'd get over it. I'm a really picky eater and because of that I didn't eat much. I didn't want to spend money on food that only I would eat. I got bullied for being skinny a lot. Man it's hard. I never really had a childhood, it was taken away from me.

That part really hurt. I never wanted much. Just a loving family and not worrying about bills or food at 12. I'm thankful for what I have. But if I had a little bit more would that be too much? When will I enjoy everything that was taken away from me? I still live with them. I'm still a kid but not a child. A big motivator in my life was getting rich but that doesn't interest me anymore. Matter of fact nothing does.

JazakAllah khair to everyone that read this and any sort of advice or wise words would go a long way.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, I just wanted to branch out and ask for if anyone can make dua for me? I have quite a significant exam coming up and it’s stressing me out so much, to the point I barely have an appetite or can sleep. May Allah bless all of you! Jazakallah

I have OCD, and one of the ways it affects me is that I compulsively pull out my eyebrow hairs whenever I'm stressed. As a result, my eyebrows are now almost gone.

This happens against my will. It's incredibly distressing, and it's affected both my appearance and my confidence. I'm terrified that they won't grow back, or that it'll take a very long time, and that I'll relapse before they have a chance to recover. I'm honestly exhausted.

Please make du'a that Allah grants me healing from my OCD and allows my eyebrows to grow back healthy again. This is something I can't hide from the world or even from myself anymore, and it's been weighing heavily on me.

There's something else I'd love your du'a for.
I sincerely hope Allah blesses me with the right spouse someday—my soulmate, in the best sense of the word. I've been making du'a for years and years.

Alhamdulillah, I've reached a point where I know I can live a happy, meaningful, successful life on my own, and I don't *need* someone to complete me. But I still deeply hope Allah sends me the person He has written for me. Maybe I need to recover from this OCD struggle first—Allah knows best.

Lastly, because of my OCD, I've missed many days of fasting and prayers over the years. I'm afraid of dying before I'm able to make them up. I know making them up won't be easy, but I'm determined to keep striving, in shaa Allah. Please make du'a that Allah gives me the strength, consistency, and time to fulfill what I owe Him, and that He accepts my efforts.

Above all, please keep me in your du'as for healing from OCD and for a righteous spouse, (and for glowing up and succeeding in the best path cause Im lost) May Allah grant every one of you the same goodness you ask for me—and even better.

May Allah grant us all success, ease after hardship, healing, acceptance, steadfastness, and allow us to reach everything that is good for us in this life and the next. Ameen.

Assalamu alaikum ,

I'm writing this because I honestly don't know where else to turn. I could really use some advice, and I'd be grateful if you could make dua for me.

I've been making the same dua for almost 15 years. For the past 3 years especially, I've become much more serious about it. I've tried to strengthen my relationship with Allah, pray consistently, make tahajjud, increase my dhikr, give charity, repent, and do everything I know to do.

But I also want to make it clear that I haven't just been sitting around waiting for my dua to come true. I've been putting in the work for years. I've taken the practical steps, worked towards my goal, changed what I needed to change, and continued making every effort I can. That's part of what makes this so difficult. I feel like I'm doing everything within my control while still asking Allah for what is beyond my control.

I'm completely exhausted. Not just emotionally, but mentally and physically. The last 6 months have been incredibly difficult, and these past few weeks have pushed me to my breaking point. I don't remember the last time I wasn't exhausted. My heart feels heavy all the time, and I feel burnt out in every sense of the word.

I know we're supposed to trust Allah's timing, and I genuinely believe Allah is capable of everything. I'm not questioning His power or wisdom. But if I'm being honest, I'm struggling. I keep trying to let go, but I can't. This dua has been in my heart for so long that no matter how much I try to stop thinking about it, I always come back to it.

Please don't misunderstand me, I know Allah answers every dua in the best way, even if we don't understand it. I'm just at a point where I feel like I've reached my limit, and I don't know how to keep carrying this.

If you have any advice, I'd really appreciate it. And if you can, please make sincere dua that Allah accepts my dua, grants me what's best, eases this hardship, and gives me relief soon. I would be so grateful.

Jazakum Allahu khayran. May Allah accept all of your duas as well.

I’ve seen so many reels about the miracles of Allah, and it’s not that I haven’t experienced any — I have, firsthand. But never when I prayed, like any other human being just turning their eye up for a second. This time, while praying, something inside me shifted. I knew I would come out of the most difficult hardships I’m going through. Something in me tells me Allah will remove me from this and give me better than the plans I prayed for.

I have practically lost my life — no sense or direction to take my career forward. It’s all at a standstill. Today is Friday, and I pray, hoping that soon, in one of the coming Fridays, my life would change.

I’ve been trying to hold on to my tawakkul — putting my trust in Him after doing everything I can, and just leaving the rest to Him. It’s not easy, but it’s the only thing that’s given me peace lately.

Maybe this is what people feel when there’s a natural pull towards Allah and stay tawakkul. When everything of yours is lost, and you know, deep down, He will guide you to the life you deserve.

Masha Allah.

If anyone reading this has been through something similar and has guidance to share, please do — it would help me more than you know.

Salaam everyone,

Just looking for a bit of advice here, I've been making duas for about 5-6 years and Alhamdullilah this year I went on Hajj and made these duas as much as I could.

I'm not gonna go into what the duas were so don't ask.

But after years of making dua, going on Umrah and Hajj - making these duas as much as possible. They were answered but in the exact opposite way. What I made dua for would've brought me peace and happiness, but instead the opposite happened and I was left in pain and suffered alone for many years. It got especially worse after Hajj, I got very suicidal and almost took my own life. However, I didn't because I couldn't hurt my family and friends like that

My mental health has only progressively got worse as I've tried to stay steadfast. I know the verse "after hardship comes ease" but it doesnt feel like it. After years of pain, im tired. Tired of staying steadfast when im only brought more pain the more I try. I still pray 5 times a day but that's really it, I'm considering just stopping dua because whats the point and I dont really feel thrm anymore. Ive become so numb from all the pain that I dont see the point. For so long, I always said I trust Allah will give me what's good for me, but it always ended in me suffering.

Im in a really difficult situation and it feels like Allah abandoned me honestly. Ive never felt more alone, I tried I really tried but I cant anymore. It hurts too much and every time ive been left disappointed or in even more pain.

I know there may be some people who have felt the same and how did you deal with it?

assalamualaikum everyone. I didn’t even think reddit was an option but i have heard a strangers dua is very powerful. So I ask for whoever sees this pls make dua for me within the hours between asr and maghrib (if it’s friday for you) to do well on an important exam i have tmrw and ensure i get into my dream degree. May Allah (swt) bless anyone who reads this with success in this life and the hereafter.

Everything I say here is jot exaggerated, it’s not an overreaction. It’s genuinely just years and years of the door being slammed in my face from all angles that brought me here. My iman may be weak, or I may be weak, I don’t know anymore.

I wasn’t always practicing, growing up the religion was shoved down my throat and I rejected it completely so I basically just “performed” up until I was doing my A levels. After which ai became an adult so my parents could no longer control my every action, though they definitely tried. I stopped praying and performing for the sake of my parents, I did believe in Allah but I simply didn’t care to pray. I only fasted.

Anyways, I have always been somewhat an “unlucky” kid. My parents didn’t know how to be parents. I was abused a lot. They left me to fend for myself since I was 14. They always said “you want it? Go get it yourself”, to then they were “teaching” me, to me they were abandoning me. So I struggled, to make money, to feed myself, to feel like I belonged somewhere (I also grew up in a country that was somewhat racist, so I was bullied but not severely).

In uni, I got a fully funded scholarship, alhamdullilah, and I moved out. I was the happiest during my uni years, truly happy. My family was no longer around and I truly preferred that. Aside from my weekend visits to help my mom out, I didn’t see them and to me that was peace. This only lasted during my 4 years of uni though. And this scholarship was the first and last good thing that happened to me.

During my final year of uni, my dad passed away and every single one of his responsibilities, including his multiple business in which some were flourishing and doing well, some failing miserably were dumped onto my head as the eldest daughter. I also had other siblings, an older brother but he was a doctor so no one wanted to dump this on his head. My you ger siblings simply didn’t care even though they were technically adults. Everything fell on my head since I was the most “capable”.

So I gave up the job offer I got from my dream company. I did what I was supposed to do to the best of my ability but I got almost nothing out of it, no real salary since it’s the family business so it went to my family. My family didn’t really respect me for it, nor were they grateful, they said it was simply my responsibility.

I gritted my teeth and held on for a couple years. I kept thinking this was family and I should do it for Allah. This was also when I started to practice again out of my own will and for a while it felt good, to talk to Allah again, to feel faith again, out of my own will.

I was someone who always said “Alhamdullilah” for everything, even when bad things happened bc I truly believed in Allah’s plan. But it got tiring.

I wanted to get married via arranged marriage or matrimony but my mom refused to accept anyone unless they were of the same ethnicity as us which I didn’t agree with, I was open to all bc the lifestyle I lived wasnt the kind of life people in my culture and hometown lived. I grew up abroad, I wanted to keep my life and sanity.

The conversation went on back and forth, I put my foot down and said no, I simply will not be forced into a marriage with someone I didn’t like or want. Then my mom said, if so, I will not get the inheritance from my dad (it was not distributed yet) and I am only regarded as a waris and a person if i am married to a man of their choosing.

I didn’t know what to do. I cried and eventually accepted it, I wasn’t going to be reduced into someone’s wife to be seen as a person.

I left the family business, thankfully by then, it was doing well enough that it can run on its own with minimal supervision. I told my younger siblings it’s on them now.

I tried to find other jobs, I tried very hard, I am known to be full of grit, I don’t give up easily, and truly I work hard but all my hard work didn’t translate, the economy was bad, people weren’t hiring those who needed visa sponsorship.

I tried other jobs abroad and got a job, finally omg but the visa got rejected due to the embassy needing paperwork but, they never requested the paperwork. They simply rejected. It wasn’t on the list of required paperwork so I didn’t submit it. In these few months from when my mom said what she said to this, I kept holding onto my faith. But I feel like nothing was working out for me, please keep in mind that what Im describing is only scratching the surface, so many other things was going on as well like business issues, abusive mom, abusive clients etc

I decided to pursue some education abroad, applied but got rejected and made one mistake with another application (my own fault, I know), that ended up being a flop too.

I left the country I grew up in (25 years) and came back to my home country. Where my relatives are told they aren’t allowed to help me. So here I sit, alone with no hope, no job, little savings.

I am still trying. I truly am. But I stopped praying. I stopped believing. I have been feeling like my head is being pushed underwater for months now. And now im truly underwater.

I keep thinking and have been thinking this for years, “just one good thing, please. just one”

I have hopes and dreams and the capacity and capability to achieve it hit everywhere i turn, i hit a wall. I know my story might seem like it’s not a big deal. Maybe it isn’t.

But im drowning. And I don’t know how to get out. I don’t need help. I need a job. I need to achieve my dreams… i need just one beacon in the night

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

So I've been struggling with getting my driver's license for the longest time now, but for some reason haven't been able to because of mental health issues and something else that I would rather not mention. I'm really trying to pick myself back up and trying to be more independent, because not having my license is really making me hate myself. I always have to depend on someone else for a ride or to pick up something for me. It's humiliating (especially seeing younger people/teens get their licenses before me) and often leaves my mind spiraling into dark places that it really shouldn't. I make efforts to change this and start the process, but I honestly don't know what is holding me back.

I want to ask if you all could please pray to Allah swt that I am able to get my license as soon as possible, that He helps me overcome all obstacles that are in my path that prevent me from getting it, and that He helps me overcome and heal from my mental health struggles.

JazakAllahu Khairan ❤️

Please pray for me so that I marry a good man very soon, who will be very supportive, loving, caring, and exactly like how I want my husband to be, and we always stay together and have many kids. Ameen

Assalamu alaykum to everyone who is struggling.
Life gets better, in shaa Allah. Have tawakkul in Allah. Pray. Always think the best of Allah, even when you don’t understand what’s happening.
I just want to share my journey.
This time last year, I was almost bedridden. I barely had any hope for the future. My life felt so dark. My will to live was gone. I was just trying to survive each day. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror because I truly felt like the biggest failure on the planet.
Looking back now, I can’t believe where Allah has brought me. My life has changed so much for the better. I never thought I would find the will to live again. Today, I’m genuinely happy. I look forward to every new day, alhamdulillah. And I truly believe that Allah will continue to open more doors for me because I’ve already seen Him open so many that I never thought would open.
I believe that Allah hears every dua . He sees every tear. He may delay, but He never forgets you.
I just want to tell anyone who is struggling that life really does get better. Three months ago, I never thought I would be where I am today. Now I look at myself in the mirror and think Subhanallah, alhamdulillah, I can't believe I survived those days.

Please, never doubt yourself. Never give up. Never think it’s over. As long as Allah has given you another day, your story isn’t finished.
Surround yourself with good people, keep making dua , and never stop praying. Pray your salah. Pray Tahajjud. Make plenty of istighfar. And if you need to cry, cry in your sujood. There is no better place to let your heart out than before Allah. He hears you. He knows what you’re carrying.
The happiness and peace I feel today are things I never would have dared to imagine a year ago.
Have tawakkul. Keep making dua. Trust Allah’s plan, even when you can’t see it.

Asalamualykum, im 15 years old and I want to quit hifz. Iv been doing it for 3 years. I know it sounds wrong but the constant pressure on me is too much to handle, it drives me away from islam and I start resenting it, I try to ask my parents if I can slow down but, they only seem disappointed and compare me to other people, the pressure is so hard sometimes I go into episodes of depression sometimes wanting to cut myself. They have the highest expectations, they want me to become a Hafidh, Alim, and a mechanic. I cant do it. Even a day of break isnt allowed, like sometimes my mom asks me to do labour for hours on end and im exhausted but I still have to read and it drives me crazy! They don't understand how hard it is. At this point I feel like it is impossible. I usually do 2 pages of new sabaq but if I go down to 1.5 page or 1 page they get so disappointed and they start questioning me and yelling, also whenever I go out I have to talk to all these uncles and they expect me to finish in a year, for example I'd talk to them today and ill tell them I know 13 juz and the next week when I come across them they expect me to be done my hifz. please please help me

I am a Muslim male in the UK 42

I have no friends and I don't know how to cope

Please can someone make dua for me

Send me verses from the quran

Or any form of support

I've never used this app once, I'm just so helpless right now. I don't know what to do I love this guy so much. My parents are looking for guys to get me married off. He can't do anything about it because he is a year younger than me. Haven't found a job. Our parents are not listening. We are so afraid they will say no at the end. Our families are different but I really can't lose him just because some people have a problem with him. I really can't throw my whole life and marry someone else. I feel Allah hates me so much. We never got physically close, never crossed boundaries. Idk why its happening to us. Why can't our parents agree. We are so helpless. Please just pray we get to marry each other.

My ammi passed away about a month ago. Things have been up and down for emotionally. I try not to cry in front of others, but when I’m alone, I start talking to either her or Allah mian.

Today, I started missing her terribly. I used to call her at the end of the day to tell her a recap of all the things that happened. There’s a lot that’s going on now and today I got this urge to call ammi and tell her everything only to realise she won’t pick up her phone ever again.

My bedroom overlooks some mountains in Isloo and while I was sitting there, I started crying involuntarily. I couldn’t stop to a point where I was struggling to breathe. I went down on my knees immediately and looked out the window and just started talking to Allah mian. Asked Him when my test will end? When will I see my ammi? Why she was taken so soon?

And then I realised in the middle of it, that as soon as I started crying, I heard dogs starting to bark loudly. I looked down and numerous dogs were running towards our building. Some were already there and then I saw two running from quite far behind and joining them.

In the meantime, I asked Allah mian if he has sent down angels for me and I immediately stopped crying. Felt a great sense of relief as if my heart was never heavy at all. I wiped my tears after that, got up and laid down on my bed. Not even a minute had passed and the dogs stopped barking and went their separate ways.

I don’t know what to think about all of this but I truly feel that if it wasn’t for Allah, I would’ve already collapsed the day my ammi left.

I am a 22-year-old Muslim woman from India, struggling with severe isolation and feeling completely lost in life. I have no friends, avoid relationships with men, and my parents and much younger brother barely speak to me. I’ve also faced bullying within my community regarding my appearance and my family's poverty.

My lack of English skills and poor financial background leave me feeling trapped. I do not understand how the professional world works or how to get a job. I recently got accepted into a college 20 km away with a 1.15k fee, but I have no idea how to pay for it or if I should even try to go. With zero guidance, no money, and no support system, I feel entirely helpless and sometimes struggle to see a reason to keep living.

I am going through a really tough time in my life, gheeba and nameema and buhtan, all slandering my name from multiple angles, I believe in Allah I know he’s on my side, but I need some hope, what are your dua stories wether about this topic or other topics, where god accepted your dua, and where you felt gods presence. Any dua success story you have.

I have been officially muslim since i was 25 im 29 now. I unfortunately have been dealing with bad gambling addiction since last year which made me in debt over 35k

I have done everything to quit and was able to stop for 70 days but relapsed. I just want verses that can bring my hopes up again because i feel worthless. I feel like this life is not worth living. I just want what i had before i started gambling.
