do not let SHAYTAN pull you down from your seat of faith

Q: I have committed so much sin in my life. there is no hope for me. I get away from one sin to another. And after a while i see myself back in that same sin. I feel like my heart became dark that the quran doesn’t have effect on it. I listened to lectures and fail to follow what it said. When i go to islamic events such as conference, I feel guilty of all my sins, and just want to repent. After a while I see myself in that same spot again. when I was young i was really good muslim but now i feel like there is no place for me in this world. I started to hate myself, and lost connection with my family. I tried to find a good companion, but couldnt find one. My only good source for me to learn about islam is thru youtube. I dont know where to start from, i fee like I am lost n no hope for me. I disobed my Creator so many times, and he always gives me a chance, but now i feel like he give up on me because I failed n ruined my life.

‘secret wedding’

Q: Assalamu alaikum,
a muslim sister has got married to a man, wose parents don´t know about the marriage. She is a convert and decided to marry this man. Is this marriage lawful? Important to know is that her husbands parents don´t know anything about this marriage.
Are there any hadith, which show that maybe it is necessary for the boys´ parents to know about that marriage.
She lives in Europe and he, too. His parents live in an islamic country. So he is far away from them.
selam
thanks in advance

‘i am really confused what to do’

Q:
Salama Aalaykuom Shiek,
I have a friend that is the same gender as me. She is in my classes and she is one of the only muslim female in my classes that i know. Iam trying my best to  practice the religion and therefore, i want to be friends with muslims. So, Alhamdullah, I try to practice my religion even in school, but this friend of mine she is not very practicing. I usually pray in front of her but then at the same time i dont ask her because I dont want to put her on the spot about practicing the religion. I want to help her but at the same time i am afraid to put her on the spot. At the same time, i want to be around people that is going to help me become a better muslim. I know friends really influence you and i really dont want to be weak in my religion.I am really confused what to do? Should I stop being friends with her? But then that means I dont have any friend that are in my classes to study with . Or is it my responsibility to talk to her about the religion? Plus, She is a shai and i am sunni,
so i dont even know where to start.
Jazakallahu kahir for your time and Advice and sorry for making the question long. Continue Reading →
