I wish I could go to my Mosque and talk to my Imam about how hard of a time I'm having coping with my molestation.

I know that therapy is like key here but I need spiritual guidance.

I need to hear something, anything about how Allah can help me, about how I can use my faith to help me heal. Some Quran or Hadith verses to soothe me. Something. Just.... just something....

I am alone with this. I am alone with my molestation like I have always been alone with my molestation for 12 years.... I am tired of being alone with it....

Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Surah An-Nur Ayat 35

[draree]

“Sins lead to darkness in one's heart. Obedience to Allah is light, but disobedience to Allah is darkness. When one's darkness increases, one's confusion intensifies, until one falls blindly into the world of innovation and misguidance, just like a blind person walking alone at night. This darkness may become deeper and gradually shows up as dullness in the face of the sinner.”

Imam Ibnul Qayyim

The thunder and His sublime praise

I never understood why the thunder filled me with awe and this gut wrenching desire to call out my Lord. I came across this verse years later and understood my Lord had been calling me.

There is always a sign for the one who wants to see it

Allah created stars and constellations as a guide for travelers

December 18 is the World Arabic Language Day, let us prepare to celebrate the Language of Quran by looking into the contribution of Arabs into the modern civilization. Its all started from the rich literature in form of Quran to science and technology to medicines and geography, astrology and space science, globe and pottery, architecture to history and above all the constitution for humanity. Arabs discovered everything and their contribution in every field is amazing and surprising because those are not disclosed and propagated by medium. This is a very big chapter. Presently we are discussing the creation of Universe by Allah.

1500 years ago, Allah revealed the purpose of the creation of the stars and constellations. Quran reveals, “And He is the One Who has made the stars as your guide through the darkness of land and sea. We have already made the signs clear for people who understands. (6:97)

Surprisingly, even today the sailors and pilots after using of both constellations, radars and compass for navigation the plane with passengers vanishes or lose its way. The reply is simple. Its Allah who guides us both in sea, land and space.  Verse (16:79) clearly reveals, “Do they not see the birds made to fly through the air in the sky? Nothing holds them up except Allah. There truly are signs in this for those who believe and understands”.

And if Allah misguides no one can guide. Its all beyond the control of humans although it seems so. And to Allah belong the unknown secrets of the Heavens and the Earth.” (11:123). “And with Him are the keys of the Unseen that no one knows except for Him.” (6:59).

“Say, O’ Muhammad(ﷺ) no one has knowledge of that which is hidden in the Heavens and the Earth except for Allah.” (27:65). O Prophet (ﷺ), you cannot grant guidance to whom you please. It is Allah Who guides those whom He will. He knows best who are amenable to guidance.(28:56)

Hey Abrahamic religious side of Tumblr.

I have a un... a personal question about faith, that I'm going to ask everyone to be civil about about.

So as some of you may know, I am a Muslim revert. I am very new to the religion, but not to the jdea of Abrahamic religion(I was a Christian as a child)

I'm uh.... having a bit of trouble. Not in the idea of worshiping one God but more....

I see /so/ many different interpretations OF God, of the Quran, the ahadith(like.... supplemental writing that is supposed to have been the word of the prophet Mohammad pbuh) and it... makes me struggle.

I don't... I don't really know what to do with all these differing opinions?

Like, there are some that definitely appeal to me, and some that definitely don't. Obviously there's a part of me that wants to hold on to the parts that appeal to me and get rid of the parts that don't. But like.... I don't feel right doing that? But I also don't feel right saying the rights I DONT agree with are right, and the things I DO agree with are wrong because well.....

I'm not God.

God hasn't said these things to me, people have.

So it's like.... who's words do I trust? What's the right thing to believe in...?

How have you dealt with tbis..? What is your advice..?

[writcrwithin]

I'm not angry, mainly irritated with myself. That so much time has gone by and I still think about him. I run into his family a lot and it bothers me that they are going on with their lives and i'm still stuck in the past.

And despite that, I don't care.. What bothers me the most is how everytime I close my eyes I see his face. I see his smile. In every sujood I see him. And while in every prayer I ask Allah SWT to help me forget him, all I see is his face.

My only dua in this moment and during this Ramadan is that I pray his heart is holding onto me as my heart is holding on to him. I pray that he sees me everytime he closes his eyes the way that I see him. I pray that everytime he goes down in sujood, he thinks of me and sees me as I think of him.

I don't even mean this as a curse, but I want him to feel all that I am feeling.

Ya Allah, I pray that I am able to gracefully let him go. Please pray for me if you come across this post.

Interesting Developments on Iran's Gaming Industry.

a)The influence of "Prince of Persia" on Iran and, specifically, Iran’s video game industry is irrefutably strong and seriously everlasting.Now the news is The French video game publisher Ubisoft released the first major installment,of the popular video game,where the characters speak Farsi.

Speaking about the collaboration with Ubisoft Montpellier, a subsidiary of Ubisoft, the secretary general of the Tehran Broadcast & Dubbing Association said: “The French company, together with an intermediary company in Iran, negotiated with different groups and asked for voice samples. 

“Finally, they selected Moj-e-Ketab Digital Publishing Group for dubbing the game in Persian,” Honaronline quoted Sobhan Ekrami, who served as the director of the dubbing team, as saying on Sunday.

“When the dubbing process was over, they liked the work. According to their procedure, before the official release of the game, the company had some gamers, especially some famous Persian-speaking gamers, play and assess the game. Fortunately, it was well received by all the gamers. Upon the release of the game, the company suggested to all the customers that for a better experience of the game play it in Farsi,” he added.

The “Prince of Persia” franchise draws heavily on Persian mythology and Iranian culture, but until now has always been in English. 

Below screenshots by the previous instalments of “Prince of Persia”.

The game's designer, Mounir Radi, said that the developers wanted to “depict and respect Persia and Iran” in the gameplay. “It was natural for us to say, 'if we are going into this culture, we have to be true to this culture, we have to do this”.

Among the updates for the new version was an increased effort to add elements like language and history that made the game more authentic to the region it depicts.

The game's producer Abdelhak Elguess said they were “very proud” to have made the changes. “We have so many people from Persian cultures that are very happy,” he said.

Emad Saedi has been a fan of the games since he was a child when he connected with the series' cultural references to Persia but says something always felt off.

“Those games were missing a fundamental element of the culture the prince came from: language,” he said. “My friends and I always had this question that if he's a Persian prince, how come he speaks English or any language except Persian? Isn't that odd?”

Emad said it is a “huge step forward” to include the language, in part because he felt Iran and Persian culture are “under-represented in today's world”.

“In a world that is saturated with Western culture content, seeing something from other parts of the world feels like a breath of fresh air, especially from a hidden gem like Iran,” he said. “It feels like we are finally being seen after being ignored for many years. There are many wonderful stories in our culture with massive commercial potential - I hope the entertainment industry recognizes this opportunity and continues to invest in them”.

Persian is spoken by a significant number of people worldwide, totaling around 130 million. Other than Iran, it serves as an official language in various countries including Tajikistan and Afghanistan.

“Prince of Persia” is centered around a series of action-adventure games focused on various incarnations of the eponymous Prince, set in ancient and medieval Persia.

Its latest installment “The Lost Crown” has been released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S and received positive reviews from critics and gamers.

The game was heavily inspired by Persian mythology, with Radi adding that the team wanted to “bring some light to a mythology that maybe should be better known,” as well as showing how Persian culture has affected other mythologies.

"We are committed to preventing the migration of game developers by removing obstacles and offering support," Esmaeili affirmed.

Esmaeili further emphasized that game developers are the country's most significant cultural figures, emphasizing that the gaming industry is not merely a technological sector.

My heart is burning and I am in immense pain.

Ya Allah, do not let me ever become the source of another persons pain even if I must die in it.

Ya Allah, keep me steadfast.

Destroy the evil plots of others before they destroy me.

Ya Allah guide me towards the right path.

Ya Allah, guide everyone around me.

Ya Allah, when the day comes that I have enough power and riches, let me be the person to show kindness to others.

To everyone reading something with a burning heart, may Allah swt grant you ease.

- Knowledge—pursue it relentlessly. It doesn’t matter whether you were born into Islam or not; knowledge is the strength that empowers you to confront every challenge. Do you know what our fundamental problem is? we often rely solely on the limited teachings handed down to us by our elders, thinking it is sufficient, without ever making an effort, striving, or having the courage to deeply understand our faith. We hardly ever open the Quran with the intention of truly discovering what Allah has conveyed within it, why it is described as light, a guidance for humankind, healing and mercy for the believers.

We excel at acquiring knowledge about songs, movies, and social media; spending our time on these things with great zeal. We are experts at endless scrolling, but when it comes to seeking knowledge, we say, “Oh, I don’t have time.” Honestly, if you channel that same time and enthusiasm into the right pursuits, you could achieve so much more in life. Step out of the world of scrolling. Rise and, for once, make the effort to read the Quran, with the intention and prayer: "O my Lord, You are the All-Knowing; open the doors of knowledge for me, make the path of truth wide and clear for me. Let this sacred book You revealed become a source of guidance and enlightenment for me. Make it my companion, my guide on this journey. Let it be a strong proof and testimony for me, leading me with clarity and conviction. And then, witness how Allah creates paths for you from places you could never have imagined.
