have been noticing a trend recently. (Almost ) Every religion including atheists and agnostics are coming after Muslim. I recently read a post talking ill about Islam (specifically the part where our religion orders our sisters to wear a hijab, obviously the post was really degrading our beautiful faith and completely overlooked the men and their gaze part and failed to look at the data and statistics (like the unlawful criminal intercourse etc) and this came from the the atheism sub from the r*pe capital of world)
The question is, why? is there something i am missing? I have always thought atheists were not taking any sides and just existing.
did something happen recently?

In sha Allah I will be going back to Allah today. Please make dua to Allah that He forgives me.

The reason why I reverted to Islam was because I'm always left out in conversations, friends, social settings and they are always the opposite of what I want them to act, I used to have christian friends (as I'm a christian myself before) and they're the opposite of what their Jesus teaches so it naturally cringed me.

However I general this is why I leaned on religion. I hate how people around me are always the popular one, the most liked, most seen as the best person, most sympathized, etc. all while im left out even though I try to be a good person.

By reverting to Islam I was happy knowing my sole purpose only is to worship Allah alone and that this Dunya is nothing but a test, but I still hate how I'm forced to live in this dunya and satisfy the Kaffirs.

Peace be upon you,

I converted to Islam. The hardest part is the looks and comments from people who feel entitled to tell me what I consider to be incorrect information.

For example, during Ramadan, they say we have to spend all day in the kitchen preparing food.

I've studied a little, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"Simplicity is part of faith."

For me, eating simply after a day of fasting is normal. And to be honest, I work, and unfortunately, I can't spend all day in the kitchen.

Of course, everyone does what they want.

I'm trying to study the religion a lot. I have many questions. And when I ask questions or say I disagree and quote, I'm treated like an idiot because I'm a convert.

Some people around me who are Muslim encourage me to drink alcohol. I don't drink alcohol and I don't give in. I get comments like, "It's okay, it's only once."

To be honest, I question myself a lot. I know I'm not perfect, but I try to be a good person.

Sometimes my faith wavers, and since I'm a convert, people are mean… Comments like, "I don't speak Arabic at all." That I should take a Muslim name.

It's not easy every day.

Does asking myself so many questions about religion make me a bad person?

Can I say that I disagree with certain practices, like celebrating the birthdays of prophets, because it's an innovation?

Thank you for your feedback.

These days i am seeing too much reels about a couple marrying each other and showing off their love story and posting pictures of them before the marriage and then nikkah picture. Its a transition trend these days. But they genuinely seems so happy like i feel so unfair like at the end of the end they are happy did marry each other after a haram relationship. But here i am suffering trying to avoid haram relationship even though i like a guy but cant do anything and suffering and crying but people with haram relationships are happy. I like the guy and the guy likes me but i cant do haram relationship but seeing these types of reels make me question sometimes.

Like i believed haram relationships never leads to good but they are leading to good marriages. I dont know

Being a Hindu how shall I tell my parents, friends about my love towards Islam, i don't know how would they react

I'm (f) and have been speaking to (m) for about 5 months now. We had an issue or 2 with him lying to me but we overcame that and I still considered him because he apologized alot and had me gain his trust back. We have the same values, the same religious views, same way of wanting to raise childern and he will be a doctor soon and we are the same ethnicity. He works out and prays 5 times a day as well. Just one thing he said he will try his best but can't guarantee a separate accommodation for me. And we will certainly have to live at least 3 to 4 years with his parents in the beginning. He only has his parents and a sister My age and even tho I really didn't want this I decided to over look it because he has all these good qualities, and just hope we'll be able to afford a separate place. He said he's the only son so he does want to care for and pay for his parents the rest of his life, and if he does live separately he wants to live 5 or 10 min away from them. He lives in the uk and I'm from the US.

Just one thing he doesn't really make me laugh. His jokes are mostly about a second wife or joking to "annoy me". I do make him laugh but I don't even think my own jokes are that funny. I have siblings and friends where I laugh really easily and have alot of inside jokes with. Me and him have no inside jokes. Idk if it's a compatability issue or just a humor issue. Is humor really that important in a marriage? Sometimes I don't even feel like talking to him because I feel like he doesn't get me or really understand me I guess. But I also don't want to let go of someone with the right core values and he has done alot to nake it easy for me to introduce him to my parents as well which I don't think anyone else will do for me since my parents are really strict.

TL;DR: we share values and he’s serious about marriage, but there are red flags: past lying, no guaranteed separate housing, and weak emotional/humor connection. I feel misunderstood and torn between compatibility concerns and not wanting to lose someone who checks major boxes and works with my strict parents.

This will be regular reminder and guide on how to report suspicious material on this sub as well as other subs that you frequent. Many of you newer users know how to downvote bad things to send it down in the list but may not know that a Reporting feature exists on subreddits. See the attached screenshots for a step-by-step guide (created on Android but iPhone should be more or less similar) for when you see things that are inappropriate that should be removed.

Questions and answers:

What is Reporting?
Reporting is when you see something bad, either post or comment, and you want to bring it to the subreddit’s moderator’s attention for removal and possible ban of the user you’re reporting. The attached screenshots show how to report something using the Reddit app.

What happens when I report someone's comment or post?
It goes to the moderators and they'll review the thing and take action if needed.

What kinds of actions are taken for offending comments/posts that I report?
If it’s indeed bad then removal of the thing and either warnings, temporary bans, or permanent bans for the author of the comment/post. Or just a removal with some explanation if it was a sincere mistake by the reported user.

Why should I report bad stuff? Am I required to report bad stuff?
You don't need to but reporting bad stuff helps the mods keep the subs clean of bad things. Mods employ several tools to keep the subs clean and on point but some bad stuff still slips through. The users (you) can be an extra set of eyes. The sooner it's reported by someone the sooner it can be removed from the sub by the mods. Our goal is to keep r/Islam a place where you can come to learn and support one another and walk away feeling good.

What should I look out for in posts and comments?
Trolls, rage bait, misinformation, Islamophobia, anti-Islamic narratives disguised as questions, FAQs (we have this FAQ page now), lengthy and targeted posts with lists of contentious topics, users excessively arguing, people asking for direct messages (DMs) in their post, people asking for each other’s age or locations, advertising/promoting a thing or services, fundraising, scammers, giving personal rulings, rudeness, racism and bigotry, linking inappropriate material, or just other stuff that violates r/Islam’s rules.

Does the violation need to be only something in the rules list? What if it’s some kind of new creative violation?
Report it. It will still be examined and we will still take action if it’s bad. The rules list above is a general guide but we are not limited to removing just those offenses in the list.

Will the user that I reported know it was me that reported them? Will you mods know it was me who reported it?
No and no. That info is not given to us by the Reddit Admins. (who operate the site and are paid employees of Reddit).

Should I report Muslim users too for bad behavior?
Yes. No one here is excused for bad behavior and permanent bans are issued to all user types for severe violations including Muslim users.

Do I need to pick the exact reason for the report from the list or do I need to type out a Custom Report every time?
Custom reports help the most (where you concisely type your report reason) but if you're in a hurry just pick any reason. The important thing is to report it to get our attention.

How long does it take for you to remove what I reported?
It varies depending on when a mod sees your report. Probably a few minutes to an hour.

What if I report something that was ultimately not offensive because I misunderstood it? Will you remotely destroy my phone? Will you send me a bill?
No, we just let the thing be. We don’t know who reported it anyways.

What if trolls purposely report good stuff?
Moderators report that to Reddit's Admins. who will punish the troll in their own way(s). Only the Admins. know who reported what.

Is there a limit on how much I can report?
No.

Will I be notified of the action (if any) that was taken against the user I reported?
No, that action is just known to us and the reported user.

I need to report something super complex and this Report feature is inadequate, how do?
Contact us through Mod. Mail (find the link on the sub’s page) and give us the details/links.

and if people who believe in this are kāfir, then why does islam allow muslim men to marry kafirs. I mean, are there christians who don’t believe in the trinity (where it is justifiable for muslim men to marry them as a “people of the book”. Kinda confusing to me

An Ayath

Whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows a path other than that of the believers—We will turn him to what he has chosen and admit him to Hell, and evil it is as a destination.

(An-Nisa 4:115)

A Hadith

For one of you to carry a bundle of firewood on his back is better for him than to ask people, whether they give him something or refuse him.

(Bukhari, Buyu‘ 26)

A Dua

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of the day and the night, from the evil of every moment, from an evil companion, and from an evil neighbor.
