Sahih Muslim 2735c

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The supplication of the servant is granted in case he does not supplicate for sin or for severing the ties of blood, or he does not become impatient. It was said: Allah’s Messenger, what does: "If he does not grow impatient" imply? He said: That he should say like this: I supplicated and I supplicated but I did not find...

Everything is Haram! Religion is So Hard!

The Context Recently, I was on Reddit (this was my first mistake), on one of the cancerous default subs (mistake #2), and I came across a post, the like of which we see fairly often. It was essentially crying about why the religion is so hard, how everything is haram. This poster decided to take a particularly irreverent tone, and, as usual, their entire argument began and was built on false...

The Virginity Fatwa

The Preamble A big misconception many people in our times have is that we don’t necessarily know how to understand fatawa.

﷽ As Muslims, we know that we cannot afford to follow along with whatever the people are doing—we have a clear guidance before us, alhamdulillah; a set of principles by which we measure everything we do. "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" —Qur’an (az-Zumar) 39:9 Once we understand the nature of memes and what’s involved in them, the rulings attached to...

Toxic Desi Mothers-in-Law

Purely armchair psychology coming in, but, my working theory is: Domestic abuse is rife in traditional desi families of our parents’ age. By this I mean not just physical violence (which is actually not the norm) but the abuse which takes place by essentially using a wife as a maid for not only her husband but his entire family. She is also often openly disrespected, especially within the...
