Assalamu Alaikum,
I am a striving Muslim who tries to live by clear Islamic values. I pray the five daily prayers in the masjid, love reading and listening to the Qur’an, and I try to follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
I do not watch movies, listen to music, or shake hands with women, so please check my profile first before messaging me.
I create English-learning content on TikTok, and I used to work as a PE Teacher and Swimming Coach. I love sports, the masjid, calmness, respect, and a peaceful life away from gossip and drama.
If you feel our values are suitable, you are welcome to message me.
The heart should be beautiful or the face Which one will do the trick in marriage? Be it a boy or a girl, it's either 👌
“I can’t memorize Qur’an, don't have time,” while having memorized dozens of songs and wasting hours & hours every day freely.
“I don’t have time to pray,” while spending two hours putting on makeup or at the gym daily or watching haram movies.
“I don’t have money to donate,” while buying expensive things for oneself.
"Why doesn’t Allah grant us victory?" while freemixing, singing, & missing the daily obligatory ṣalāh
How is victory &honor expected while disobeying Allah? When will this be understood?
We are large in number, but few in īmān.
Hi
Are there any statistics or studies on how many unmarried women agree to marry a divorced man with no children? What does this acceptance depend on, and what do the women think about this? Or should divorced men look for divorced women like themselves?
Have a Nice day for everyone.
I live alone I am looking for a life partner
If any one has relation with good house can contact me I am waiting
One of the mistakes many practising Muslims make after Allah blesses them with guidance is that they forget their own past.
They forget the years they spent in heedlessness.
They forget the sins they used to commit.
They forget the countless reminders they heard but turned away from.
They forget how long it took for the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah to truly reach their hearts.
Then, all of a sudden, they expect everyone around them to change overnight.
A brother finds guidance today and becomes upset that his father still does not pray in the congregation, despite being reminded for a few weeks. Or that he has not yet grown a beard.
A sister starts practising and becomes frustrated that her mother is still falling short in her Hijab or struggling to leave certain habits behind.
They speak harshly.
They become impatient.
They look down upon the very people who loved them, raised them, fed them, and carried them through life.
But stop and think for a moment.
How many years did Allah give you before you changed?
How many reminders did you hear before your heart softened?
How many chances did Allah give you before you finally turned back to Him?
If Allah had dealt with us according to what we deserved, where would we be today?
Guidance is not a reason to become arrogant.
It is a reason to become more humble.
Because every righteous person knows that had Allah not guided them, they would still be lost.
Allah said:
Had it not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been purified. (Qur'an 24:21)
When it comes to our parents, Allah did not merely command us to call them to the truth.
He commanded us to accompany them with kindness:
And keep company with them in this world with kindness.(Qur'an 31:15)
Never let your commitment to the Qur'an and Sunnah make you forget the patience Allah showed you before you found your way back to Him.
The people around you may simply be at a different stage of the same journey.
Treat them with the patience, mercy, and gentleness that you once needed yourself.
And never look down upon someone who is struggling with something Allah has already helped you overcome.
The only reason you stand where you stand today is because Allah guided you.
Not because you had more Taqwa.
Not because there was something special about you.
Not because you deserved guidance.
Only because Allah was merciful to you.

Once read a comment that said:
“I was married to a student of Islamic knowledge, yet he constantly reminded me of my illness and made me feel like a burden. That experience taught me one lesson: never be deceived by titles, appearances, or reputation. Look at a person's character, for that is what you will live with every day.”
You do not need more than a sensible husband with good character, who establishes the five daily prayers, earns from halal sources, and has a connection with the Qur'an and worship.
Remove from your list the conditions that social media has filled your mind with.
There are homes filled with oppression, abuse, and misery despite an abundance of beards, Islamic texts, certificates, and titles. And there are homes filled with mercy, tranquillity, and kindness among ordinary Muslims who may never have studied advanced Islamic sciences, yet understand what it means to fear Allah and treat others well.
A person's books, certificates, and reputation *do not guarantee a successful marriage if they do not act upon what they know. So look first at their character, manners, and religion before looking at their memorization, status, or popularity.
The title of “Shaykh” will not lessen the pain of oppression. Knowledge alone will not benefit others if it is not accompanied by good character. A long beard will not show mercy if the heart is harsh and the tongue is hurtful.
Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn رحمه الله said:
If the seeker of knowledge does not display virtuous character and good manners, then his pursuit of knowledge is futile.
[شرح حلية طالب العلم، للشيخ محمد بن صالح العثيمين رحمه الله | ص ٨]
A man is not measured by what he knows, but by how he lives. And the real test of a person's religion is often found in the way they treat those under their care when no one is watching.
Anyone can speak about good character. The real test is living by it.
