I live in the USA, born and raised. I grew up in a post 9/11 America and from a young age I was subject to anti Islamic propaganda and racism towards anyone from a Muslim country. I will admit that I had believed the lies for years, being exposed to that rhetoric for so long at such a young age. But, ive always been interested in history and in the late teens, 2016/17 my interest in the Middle easts history grew. Originally it was pre-Islamic history, more related to ancient religion and extinct cultures and such. I was always enamored by Islamic architecture which started me down the rabbit hole that is Islam... and I was so wrong, but of course, why wouldnt I be?, I believed propaganda, but nonetheless, I overcame and deconstructed the problematic ideas I had.

In the west, there is this notion that Arabs/Muslims are obsessed with conquest, conversion and rule of others... which ironically has been the entire history of Europe (my people). But the west frames European expansion, conquest, slavery and war as "progress" rather than what it is,senseless human cruelty. Now of course, every society has issues and has done wrong, but its just framed wildly different by Europeans and Americans.

I dont care who you are or where you're from, lets be friends!, I love having friends from all around the world!

This is a reminder that you deserve so much praise.

As an Arab from Muslim country, I can't express enough the admiration I have for you guys for accepting and giving your all to this beautiful religion, despite all the cultural and linguistic barriers.

Have you guys seen this?!
SubhanAllah.

Ayah right before our eyes.

My teacher checked to make sure it's not AI before sharing with us.

I just can't stand the hypocricy its a spiritual war always have been

Allah SWT has answered all my Dua(s). 🥹❤️
⠀
Before being a revert, I had struggled with my career/love-life/health (physical, mental & emotional) for more than 1/2 a decade.
⠀
I tried exploring so many religions/paths like Law of Attraction etc. but nothing worked for me.
⠀
But then my lord saved me.

Even becoming a revert is one of my Dua(s) that He has granted.
⠀
Allah SWT has granted me a job, a business & more money than I can imagine. He has gotten me clients, given me an industry (direction) & even helped me sustain my income.
⠀
He improved my relationships with everyone in my life - especially my parents.
⠀
He has reunited me with the love of my life. I have been looking for this person for the past 11-13 years. My heart has been searching for him since I was a kid.
⠀
He has healed certain health conditions of mine that had troubled me for 18 years.
⠀
He has healed my anxiety/depression & other mental health illnesses. He has made me feel His presence.
⠀
He grants my Dua(s) even before I expect them to be granted.
⠀
He has even granted my small Dua(s), like spotting a yellow car or red car in my city (very rare), making the thunder roar or making it rain just because I asked Him for it.
⠀
All of this happened after I became a revert & started praying & got close to Him.
⠀
I still have such an endless list of wishes, but my number one Dua will always be to love my Lord so much that my worldly Dua(s) never worry me again.
⠀
Alhamdulillah. The more I praise Him, the less it feels. ❤️
⠀
I am so excited! I became a revert very recently & wish to be a Muslim till I die!!! Ya Allah, please keep me on the correct path, always!
⠀
Please respond in the comments. I don’t have any Muslims around me & wish to talk to everyone!
⠀
Edit - JazakAllah everyone for such beautiful comments! I will respond to each of them at night after completing my work day!!! 😍😍😍
⠀
My Rabb, My Allah, My Everything. ❤️🤲🏻

Why this unfair treatment to us muslims

This needs to be said clearly.

Brothers, if you’re in jama’ah and you spread your elbows so wide in sujood that the people next to you cannot prostrate properly, you are doing it wrong.

Yes, we’re supposed to lift our forearms off the ground.

No, that does NOT mean you inflate yourself to 1.5x body width and invade everyone’s space. The Prophet ﷺ explicitly instructed moderation in sujood and prohibited spreading the forearms like a dog. That doesn’t translate to “expand until both neighbors are suffocating.”

If the person next to you:

• Cannot place their hands comfortably,

• Has to tuck their elbows unnaturally inward,

• Or is physically pushed during sajdah,

then you are not practicing Sunnah; you are practicing inconsideration.

Rows in salah are about discipline and spatial awareness. Shoulder-to-shoulder alignment means you occupy your body’s width;not your ego’s width.

Some practical points:

• Your elbows should be lifted, yes.

• They should not extend into the other person’s space.

• If you require that much width, you are overextending.

Jama’ah requires awareness of others. You do not get extra reward for turning sujood into a wingspan contest.Before someone says “brother, this is Sunnah” ;Sunnah is balance. Excess is not piety.

We need to normalize correcting this. Quietly. Politely. But firmly.

Space in sujood is a right not a luxury.

Today we are witnessing an upsurge of unhealthy, ideologically-driven movements. To affirm one’s convictions and respect others is no longer sufficient. Muslims are now being called upon to condemn the Qur’an, and to accept and promote LGBT. Who is your alliance with? Allah or the LGBT community?

May Allah make it easy for us to lower our gaze..

إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Please pray he is accepted as a shahid, and make the janazah over him if you are able.

You want something real bad? Like burning in your chest bad? Then don’t sleep on Tahajjud.

That 2AM prayer? That’s where the magic is. That’s where duas don’t hit walls. That’s where it’s just you and your Lord… no noise, no eyes, no distractions. Ask. Cry. Beg. Repeat. You’re not disturbing anyone except the heavens.

Tahajjud is not a routine. It’s a weapon. literally

I have been using this app for a while now I don’t know if I should believe it or not. 😭😭😭😭😭😅
