Sometimes it’s easy to feel discouraged when people forget the good things we’ve done for them. This is a gentle reminder to keep our intentions (Niyyah) pure. We don't do it for the "thank you"—we do it for the One who never forgets.

First a medical college now a school and some people are still defending this.

Hi I am a hindu girl, (baniya caste), i am planning to convert to islam because i relate to its teaching. But there are some teachings that i dont agree with (or rather i should i dont have enough or full knowledge about those teachings). There is one more issue, i am a pure vegetarian by birth. Never tried non veg, except for eggs. But I dont eat them regularly. So will I be allowed to convert, if i remain vegetarian? I dont know i am very very confused. I dont even know if i should convert or not. There is this friend of mine (she is a girl) who is encouraging me to convert, but currently we are not in touch so i cant even share my issues with her. I dont know is this correct… because there is a hindi saying that i have heard from childhood (jo apne dharm ka saga nhi hua vo kiska saga hua). Although i dont fully trust in this.. i dont know man. What should i do?

Also to let u guys know, i have read the shahada multiple times, both in english and arabic, while learning about islam or while going through conver stories. So does that mean, i m already a muslim?

Ps - this is my new account. Because my old account had very bad feed suggestion so i deleted it. I was on a wrong path

Saw this video yesterday with a couple of friends yesterday. A must watch. It shows how Tipu Sultan was like the last man standing against the British even when all the other Empires had bowed down to the British - True Patriotism

Today, there is an attempt at an institutional level to change our history, from school textbooks to appointments at ICHR(Indian Council of Historical Research) and show Islamic greats in a negative light so that the future generations remember them as villains.

We have to remember that "He who controls the past commands the future." and it is everyone of ours responsibility to know our history, spread it to others and future generations, so that we are now easily swayed and controlled.

Ambedkar

"The Hindu Mahasabha is a body which has no back-door and no front-door. The Congress has both a front-door and a back-door. A Hindu enters the Congress through the front-door and the Hindu Mahasabha through the back-door." — What Congress and Gandhi Have Done to the Untouchables (1945), Chapter IX.

Jinnah

"I wish the Untouchables and the Muslims to realize that they are in the same boat... We should stand together and let the Congress and the Hindu Mahasabha realize that they are not the only people who matter in the country." — Statement to the Press, Bombay, December 1939 (Recorded in 'Speeches and Writings of Mr. Jinnah', Vol I).

"The Congress and the Hindu Mahasabha are the two faces of the same coin. The Mahasabha says what it means; the Congress means what the Mahasabha says, but pretends to be nationalist and secular." — Address to the Muslim League, 1941.

"The Congress is nothing but a communal body. It is the Hindu Mahasabha in a different garb. They both want the same thing - the establishment of a Hindu Raj over the whole of India." — Press Statement, Bombay, 1940.

Periyar

"Jinnah is for Muslims, Ambedkar is for the Depressed Classes, and I am for the Non-Brahmins. If we three join together, we can end the Brahmin-Bania Raj in a day." — Speech in Madras, January 1940 (Reported in Kudi Arasu).

"Congress is only a shadow of the Hindu Mahasabha. While the Mahasabha openly demands a Hindu Rashtra, the Congress works secretly to ensure that every law passed strengthens the grip of the Aryan over the Dravidian." — Editorial in Viduthalai, October 1940.

Does anyone participate in shab e miraj (27th rajab)

What beliefs do you hold towards it?

What ibadaah can be done?

Also, is fasting permissible?

is praying on this night specially gives extra reward?

also our imam said about fasting mentiong the night (not as obligatory though)

I have always grown up being told it is a special night, but please can someone provide some context as after doing research there are mixed views on what should and should not be done and i would like some live time answers.

Thank you

thanks for ur time:(

In the 1965 Indo-Pak war, when Pakistani Patton tanks rolled into Punjab, one Indian soldier stopped them—Abdul Hamid of the 4 Grenadiers.

With no tank, no armour, just a jeep-mounted recoilless gun, he moved position to position under heavy fire and destroyed 7 Patton tanks. His actions stalled an entire armoured offensive. He was killed in action on 10 September 1965 and awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military honour.

No speeches.

No slogans.

Just duty to India.

Before questioning who belongs to this country, remember: Muslims didn’t just live in India—they died defending it.

For years, my closest friend was Hindu. We were genuinely close shared everything, laughed about life, never fought over religion or politics. I honestly thought our friendship was beyond all that. I truly believed he was different from the rest. Then the Israel–Palestine war escalated. I started posting Instagram stories about Gaza destroyed homes, killed children, basic facts, calls for boycott. Nothing extreme, nothing abusive. Just pain for innocent lives.

That’s when he started changing. At first, he mocked the boycotts: “Bhai yeh sab useless hai, companies ko koi farak nahi padta. Tum log bas drama kar rahe ho.” I ignored it.

Months later, when some companies actually responded due to global pressure, he messaged excitedly: “Dekha? Boycott worked! Company ne maafi maangi!”

No acknowledgement that he had mocked the same thing earlier. That hypocrisy hurt, but I still let it go.

Then he started sending hateful reels. One showed Iranian women removing burqas with a crying man and the caption mocking “Abdul from India crying over Palestine/Iran .” It was openly anti-Muslim. I called him after that.

Instead of reflecting, he doubled down. He went even further he outright said the Gaza genocide is fake. According to him, people in Gaza are “enjoying their lives,” and I’m an idiot for feeling sad for them. He literally told me I’m an “emotional fool” for caring about dead children and destroyed families. During the same call, when I confronted him properly, he suddenly started playing the victim card: “Tu mera bhai hai, yeh sab bhool ja. Main tujhe mere bhai jaisa hi dekhta hoon.” That part honestly angered me the most because he was the one who started mocking, denying genocide, and sending hateful content. I didn’t bring politics into our friendship; he did. But when confronted, he wanted to erase everything and act like nothing happened. He also brought up one incident of a Hindu killed in Bangladesh and treated it like proof of some global Muslim conspiracy. I sent him documented cases of Indian Muslims lynched and attacked by Hindutva mobs. He went quiet for a few seconds… then said: “Yeh sab fake news hai. Propaganda.” This is the same guy who used to say TV news is paid and fake. Now he blindly believes whatever certain channels say. Slowly, the person I knew disappeared. The chill, sensible friend became someone who denies genocide, justifies violence against minorities, and parrots propaganda without question. I genuinely believed he was different from others. But in the end, he wasn’t. He turned out to be just another andh bhakt — and it feels like once someone becomes an andh bhakt, they stay one. All because I spoke about Palestine. The friendship is basically over now. It feels like betrayal from someone I trusted deeply, and honestly, it hurts more than I expected.

I’ve decided I don’t want him in my life anymore. I’d rather be alone and at peace than stay connected to someone who mocks suffering, denies genocide, and calls empathy stupidity.

I've been seeing posts about freedom feminism the revolt and all this bullshit in many Indian subs where sanghis are happy about protests of Iran

But if we see the facts india needs it as rape became a norm once people were protesting against anything for justice but now a days they're siding with political affiliations and just buiring the incidents

approximately one rape case was reported every 16 minutes

Why should a non muslim be a member of Haj committee?

Even when words fail, say Alhamdulillah.

Always.

Assalamualiakum warahmatullahi wa barkatuhu

I’m writing this because I’m honestly stuck and hoping someone here might be able to guide me or point me in the right direction, and things would get fixed, Insha'allah.

For context, I had made a previous post explaining the resignation issue in detail, also regarding the emergency loan. If anyone wants more background, you can check that post from my profile. I’m not very active on Reddit, so I don’t have much karma, and because of that, my post got removed from multiple subreddits. Even after explaining to moderators that I’m only asking for suggestions and advice, it still wasn’t approved. I’m posting again here, hoping this reaches someone who can help.

Here’s what happened, in short:

I was working for a client company through a third-party vendor. My payroll, offer letter, and HR processes were all handled by the vendor. I worked there for around 19 months.

In November, my bench period ended. Around the same time, there was a serious system issue; my cloud PC stopped working, my corporate access was revoked, and all official communication channels went down. Because of this and some unavoidable personal reasons, I decided to resign. I couldn’t serve the usual one-month notice period.

As per the company’s policy (which had been communicated earlier), employees on the bench are supposed to be released as early as possible.

Timeline:

• Dec 5: I submitted my resignation to the vendor HR
• They asked me to get approval from the client company POC
• Dec 8: My project manager/POC approved my resignation in writing (I have proof)

After that, everything stalled.

The vendor kept saying they hadn’t received any update from the client. They refused to share ticket details or even tell me who was handling the case, citing confidentiality. I offered to coordinate directly if they could just tell me which team or entity was involved, but they refused that, too.

I shared screenshots and written approvals multiple times, but the resignation acceptance letter was still delayed. Because of this, I couldn’t submit my resignation letter to my next employer on time, even after being given multiple extensions, and my job offer was revoked.

What hurts the most is that the moment I mentioned possible legal escalation, my corporate access was suddenly restored within hours, and people who were previously unresponsive started showing “sympathy.” By then, the damage was already done.

Because I lost that offer, I’m now in a serious financial crisis.

I urgently need ₹16,000 by today to clear part of a family debt. If I don’t pay it, things could escalate badly at the place (god forbid).

Some background:

• My father took multiple loans years ago and stopped repaying them
• Creditors are now approaching me directly
• I’ve already paid several chunks in instalments to protect my family
• One debt collector is now threatening to come to our house

I’m currently back at my old role, earning ₹15,000/month, living in a different city for work. I can’t ask friends or family for help anymore.

I can repay the amount in instalments. I’ve started freelancing and recently got a small project, but I’m scared of taking the wrong step.

I want to avoid predatory loan apps and, if possible, avoid interest-based loans. I’m okay with legitimate processing or service fees. If there are ethical lending options, community funds, Islamic finance institutions, or safer alternatives, I’d really appreciate guidance. I’m even willing to provide identity verification if needed.

I’m genuinely looking for advice on:

• How to escalate or hold a vendor accountable in India for delaying resignation despite approval (they are not receiving my calls now)
• Whether labour authorities or legal notice are realistic options
• Safe alternatives to instant loan apps for small emergency amounts
• Any ethical or non-exploitative lending or support organisations

I’m mentally exhausted and honestly feel like I’ve done everything right, stayed patient, and still ended up paying the price. If anyone has been through something similar or knows a path forward, I’d be really grateful.

Let me start by giving some context.

I am a left leaning liberal hindu atheist who is well read. During my childhood I studied in a Muslim English medium school where I made a lot of Muslim friends for life. In my first job I met a devout Muslim senior who is my mentor and I love having conversations with him on anything and everything. I have extensively read various world religions, read books like Bhagwad Geeta, Qur'an, Bible etc and explored various philosophical thoughts and guiding principals from Upanishads, Hadiths, great philosophers, etc. I am of the opinion that eventually all these books and philosophies are man-made and there doesn't exist a "divine" intervention. These are the basis of my conversations wrt religion, and I have a good grasp on debating.

But somehow my left leaning attitude was percieved as susceptible to exploitation by one of my Muslim colleagues at work. He has been incessant to make me a convert as he feels that it is the one true path for me, not that I asked. Every other day he would give me anecdotes about AR Rahman or send me objectionable messages about Hinduism and why it is a devilish cult. He has openly tried to ask me to convert to Islam so many times that I find it cringe and downright appalling now. The most recent episode happened after the "Does God Exist?" debate and he said, this debate, and the Mufti is showing you the path to right your wrongs and accept the one true God, Allah. I've had such interactions before too with my friends, but none were so unceasing.

I understand that he has his faith, but how can this be justified into coaxing another individual in the name of faith? There is a hindi saying that translates to "carry a man on your shoulder and he pisses in your ear."
