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 this 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, 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 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.

Asalamalaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu.
Welcome to r/MuslimSupportGroup! The purpose of this subreddit is to share personal issues to get feedback/support or as well as sharing casual stories for Muslim users seeking advice from an Islamic perspective.
This was originally something that was allowed on r/Islam but since that sub is growing we created this sub over here to keep r/Islam on point for religious topics only and have this sub dedicated to just personal issues.
You can use this sub to post about these things below:
Personal struggles or other issues you're experiencing.
Feelings of depression, suicide, anxiety, and health issues. Note that Reddit is not a place to find permanent treatment and you need to speak to a doctor or other health professional to get cured. Also consider an Imam. If no Imam is nearby, then look up mosques in other cities/states and call them and leave voice messages asking for a call back. This sub and ones similar to it are just to get some temporary support and you should not rely on it for a permanent fix because it will not help your core issues.
Ranting/venting.
Marriage problems, although more complex topics like divorce and its related topics will not be allowed as that requires the consultation of your family and probably an Imam. Do not ask anyone on Reddit if you should get a divorce.
Struggling to get married.
Family, friend, workplace issues.
Sharing motivational material, Qur'an and Hadith. Un-sourced quotes/text won't be allowed. Cite the text please.
Sharing pet pictures/videos.
Please offer support and feedback to users with kindness and empathy.
What this subreddit --should not-- be used for:
General questions about Islam, issues related to Muslims at large, politics, news, or seeking fatwas (Islamic legal rulings).
If you need help fighting masturbation and pornography addiction then please submit a post to r/MuslimNoFap and also see this link from r/Islam's FAQ page.
Rules list is below but is not limited to just these things. If users are found being disruptive in other ways outside of this list then they will also be banned. Learn how to report other users for bad behavior using this guide.
Rules:
Conduct yourself in a civil manner. Bad behavior will lead to bans.
When submitting a post, create a descriptive title at least one sentence long that briefly describes your topic, and use the body of the post to give further details. No all caps, vague titles, or clickbait.
No advertising, fundraising, surveys, polls, questionnaires, or data collection on users of any kind. No need to ask the moderators as there are no exceptions.
Do not derail posts in order to start side-discussions unrelated to the OP's question/issue.
No brigading or vote manipulation (when you organize users from here to go and attack or mass-report other subs, sites, or social media accounts).
NSFW/NSFL posts are restricted and must be approved by a moderator.
Do not give or imply any fatwas (Islamic legal rulings). You can only refer to and cite other rulings given by scholars via a link to a credentialed mainstream site/scholar or by referencing a book and page number with the ruling.
No sectarianism, proselytizing out of Islam, or takfir'ing (declaring a Muslim as a non-Muslim).
No requests for Direct Messages (DMs) such as submitting a vague post and asking readers to DM you. Clearly explain your issue in the post's body and talk to the users in the public comments section.
Do not reveal your age, picture, video, voice, or specific location.
Use proper formatting, do not submit walls of text. Very few people will read walls of text. Use paragraphs.
AI is not allowed in any form even for formatting even if the content was yours.

A few months ago I started talking to a guy online,I knew it was wrong but our conversations were innocent(haram nonetheless I know),we talked about books politics,movies.We started to confide in eachother,the more we started talking we both fell in love,calling everyday texting everyday.But then he confessed to me that he is bipolar with paraphrenia,he would have episodes while we are on call sometimes and they used to be very violent,he would punch himself and then wake up scared asking me why he is bleeding,he had two personalities that were “devils”.His ancestors come from a history of being witches,which ofcourse he does not support.His grandma did some sort of ritual on him and locked him in a dark room for a month,when he came out he was almost blinded in one eye and he had these two devil personalities.I have been making dua every single day,he ended things when he got worse and i cry everyday because of it.I know it’s wrong but believe me we really wanted to get married,his father knew of me and I wanted to tell my father about it aswell.Durint one of his episodes I figured out he had a personality disorder which he kept secret from me(DID).His father and cousin put ideas in his head that he is not suitable for marriage,yet he’s perfectly capable of having a job,doing multiple internships,going to uni,having friendships,driving.I was talking to his cousin one night about the grandma,and 10 minutes later she died at 108,this was last month when the earthquake in Egypt happend.After that I called him even tho we were over to see if he was okay,he was throwing up blood but the devil was gone,but the second guy was still there,after praying and praying the other “devil” left aswell.He seems to be doing better now I can see he’s working from his linkedn page but his dad has his mobile device and it’s hard for me to talk to him.I know all of this is wrong,yet I love him intensely,and I know he loves me too because even during these episodes when he is barely conscious he cries mumbling “I wish we could be married.i love you”Im sorry for ranting,before you judge me.please know I already am so ashamed.Please make dua for me and him,for both of our health,I cannot sleep at night from how fast my heart beats.Please pray his heart softens for me because even if he gets better my fear is he will be consumed by guilt and he won’t try to make things right either way,Please make dua that his dads heart softens for me aswell

r/MuslimSupportGroup • u/sodokoy • 1d ago
Assalamu alaykum. I’m writing this because I honestly don’t know where else to turn.
For a long time, I’ve been praying, making duaa, trying to stay patient, and genuinely doing my best to improve myself and my life. I’ve tried to put my trust in Allah and keep going even when things were difficult.
But lately, everything seems to keep going wrong. The harder I try, the harder life seems to become. Things don’t work out, problems keep piling up, and I’m becoming exhausted. I feel like I’ve given everything I have, yet nothing seems to change.
And I’ve reached a point where I’m struggling deeply with my faith. I keep wondering: Is Allah angry with me? Am I doing something wrong? Why does it feel like my duas are going nowhere despite trying for so long?
I know that Islam teaches us about patience, tests, delayed duas, and trusting Allah’s wisdom. I’ve heard those things before, and I still want to believe them. But honestly, right now I’m tired. It’s becoming difficult to keep telling myself to be patient when I feel like I’ve been patient for so long.
I’m not looking for judgment or a simple “just have more faith.” I genuinely want to hear from Muslims who have gone through a period where their iman became extremely weak, where they felt abandoned or wondered whether Allah was angry with them.
How did you get through it? What helped you rebuild your relationship with Allah when you were exhausted and couldn’t understand why your life was going the way it was?
I still want to believe. I still want to have faith. That’s probably why I’m writing this instead of completely walking away.
Jazakum Allahu khayran to anyone who takes the time to read this or share their experience.

My brothers and sisters, I’ve been making a very sincere dua to Allah SWT for a long time. Please make dua that Allah accepts this dua of mine and grants me exactly what I’m asking Him for. A stranger’s dua can go a long way. May Allah reward you all, accept your duas, and grant you what your hearts sincerely desire. Ameen. 🤲❤️

Postpartum. Going through divorce. I feel abandoned by Allah. And stuck. I cant pray.
r/MuslimSupportGroup • u/New-Welcome1783 • 2d ago
Asalamalaikum. I’ve never made a Reddit post before but I just feel like it in hopes that anyone’s had a similar experience and can share some hope or anything.
A few days ago I got told my mum has cancer. I’ve been in a state since. I just can’t understand this. My family already went through a difficult time with my dad earlier in the year nearly having cancer but Alhamdulillah he’s okay now. And now, my mum.
Everyone’s telling me trust Allah etc and I’m just so angry and upset I have no motivation to do namaz (Salah) or Dhikr like my sister was telling me to do.
I’m also the worst, and I mean the WORST overthinker in the world. I catastrophise. I worry. I think. Toooo much. And I’m scared that I’m going to lose my mum. The doctors said it’s treatable and there’s options. But I’m terrified.
Idk what else to say. I have support around me Alhamdulillah. But im just feeling empty and a bit numb. I’ve cried like 10 times a day for the past few days.
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense. I just want advice or words of hope or just anything. Even insight into what doing Dhikr will do to help.
Jazakallah Khair.

Give me reminders from Quran and sunnah to calm me down and remember all day insha Allah.
And please keep me in your duas

Asalamualaikum, Im currently in my second year of university with a passion to study medicine InshAllah, how ever, im very anxious. My first year (last year) l was always distracting myself from studying because the year was kind of easy so I would cheat alot, my deen wasn't at the best condition, I was always bad at making decisions and etc. Now the the second year has come and Alhamdulilah I had 3 months of break to just get to know myself a little better, I have this drive now to just pray, study, and live life but the biggest one is tawakkul. I feel like I never actually studied well that year at all but the art if tawakkul really makes me want to just put my full trust in Allah but im always feeling this, "what if" always comes to me maybe waswasa but I hate cheating it makes me feel guilty and just bad for not learning. If anyone can give advice anything I would really appreciate it.
If there are stories similar to mine where it feels impossible please share it I would feel way much better because of you!

*CONTROLLING ANGER *
*• Isti'adha (Seeking Refuge With Allah)*
Narrated Sulaiman bin Surad (رضى الله عنه): Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) while we were sitting with him. One of the two abused his companion furiously and his face became red.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I know a word (sentence) the saying of which will cause him to relax (i.e., he will calm down). Only if he says:
« أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ »
(A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem — I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the outcast)."
📚: Sahih Bukhari 6115
*• Avoid Anger*
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us (his companions):
"If one of you becomes angry when he is standing, let him sit down, and if the anger goes away (all well and good), otherwise let him lie down."
📚: Sunan Abi Dawud 4782 | Sahih
*• Seek Solace In Silence*
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Teach and make things easy and not difficult. When one of you is angry, he should be silent."
📚: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 245 | Sahih (Shaykh Albani رحمة الله)
*• Remember That Repressing Anger Is One of The Qualities of Muslims*
"Those who spend (in Allah’s Cause) in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers)."
📚: Qur'an (al-Imran 3:134)
*• The True Strength*
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:
"The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger."
📚: Sahih Bukhari 6114
*• Acting On RasulAllah (ﷺ)'s Advice*
A man said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "Advise me!"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Do not become angry and furious."
The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said in each case: "Do not become angry and furious."
📚: Sahih Bukhari 6116

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a female Muslim therapist who does online sessions and is good with trauma, mental illness, and related issues.
I've already looked at places like Khalil Center, the Institute tor Muslim Mental Health, and Shifa Therapy, but I'm struggling to choose because I don't know anything about the individual therapists there.
If you've personally worked with someone and had a good experience, I'd really appreciate any recommendations.
I'm more interested in hearing about specific therapists than clinics.
JazakAllahu khayran.

I recently lost my job, and I’m currently going through a very difficult financial situation. I’ve been applying for jobs and doing my best to find something as soon as possible, but things have been really stressful lately.
I would really appreciate it if you could keep me in your duas and ask Allah to open a door for me, grant me halal rizq, and help me find a good job soon.
May Allah reward you all, ease the difficulties of everyone who is struggling, and grant us all halal and abundant rizq. <3

For the last 5months I have been going through extreme loneliness
I have no friends and it's killing me
I feel like I'm addicted to posting on Reddit
Trying to find comfort because I have no one else to talk to my mental health is deteriorating
I have practically begged local lads to let me join them but everyone has dropped me
I'm scared I don't have the energy to continue living like this
My health is deteriorating
Alhamdulillah I have a roof over my head
And my health but it's declining
The stress is unreal
I spend morning noon and night stressing of being alone
Everyone always replys go out do this
Join mosque
Join volunteering
I swear by Allah I have tried but no one will help or let me join
I don't even know what I'm looking for on here
So many people said message me etc
I messaged and after one or two messages everyone disappears
Please pray for me
Ya Allah I beg you Infront of all these who read this please send your mercy on me I'm drowning in dispair

I’ve heard people say that when you ask Allah for something, you have to believe that He is going to grant it to you.
I do ask, and I do make du’a over and over, but in my heart, I don’t really feel like it is going to be granted to me. Not because I think Allah cannot do it, but because in my life, whenever I wished for something, the modest version of it was granted to me, not the actual thing I wanted.
Also, I think that because the thing I wish for is so good and would make me feel so secure and content with life, it won’t be granted to me because I feel like, “What else would there be to upset me or test me in this life?”
Aren’t Muslims supposed to be tested?
I’d really appreciate hearing how other Muslims understand this, especially regarding having hope in Allah while still feeling deep down that the specific thing you’re asking for probably won’t happen.
r/MuslimSupportGroup • u/Suspicious_Court_956 • 7d ago
This is so embarrassing to admit but I am just.. in a bit of a rut and idk where to go for help. For context this is all in Canada and this started when we were 16 and I am now 20. We both grew up just like any other kid in Canada, not super Islamic or anything but not completely crazy either. I met her in class and we connected pretty instantly and things kept progressing from there, she never wanted marriage with anyone cuz the only marriages she’s seen are broken ones in literally her entire family 😭 but then i came along, and she opened up. a year or so in I became.. very expressive of the fact that I had feelings for her and she said the same thing back. We alhamdullilah didn’t do anything insane, a few words of affection no physical touch nothing of that sort. But, I was a different case, shame me if you’d like on this you wouldn’t be in the wrong for it, I found adult videos when I was 11 and had been addicted since, so eventually, I started… saying stuff that wasn’t too good, and she played along for a bit but snapped out of it, she told me to stop it too but at that point I started thinking her not wanting to be close to me meant she didn’t like me ( ik ik it’s stupid just… bare with me) she was never too expressive of her feelings with me and I always had a problem with it, when she just was closer to and more aware of Allah and she made it clear to me that once we were married she’d open up, I am really proud of her. Eventually I did snap out of it too, but the damage was already done, she became more and more distant and I never fixed that addiction of mine, if yk anything about that addiction yk it makes u objectify women to an insane degree. A day came when we were talking and some stuff happened and I started insulting a hijabi woman ( who was a friend of hers) with stuff that’s degrading to women. This was her first time seeing this side of me, and honestly this was my first time seeing that side of me too, but it was the tipping point, she ended things saying it was difficult but she didn’t wanna marry a man like me. That all happened about 3 months ago, since then I’ve fixed my addiction, educated myself immensely on women, the struggles they face and I am trying my best to atone, I also apologized to her friend on two separate occasions about the stuff I said about her ( I didn’t say it to her face it was backbiting ) but I just.. even with my addiction her beauty was so much more than anything lust could compare with, and I am not talking about physical beauty, I was alhamdullilah good at atleast lowering my gaze, I am talking about her character, she was the kindest soul I’ve ever met, she was compassionate, driven to an insane degree and so much more than I don’t even wanna say cuz I am genuinely gonna break down. And I just… threw it all away for nothing??? I threw it all away cuz of my stupid male ego, my stupid lust??? I used to ask Allah for so much, but now I js ask him for forgiveness over and over in every single prayer. As for marriage and women, I’ve become someone who loves every single woman on this planet but never wants to marry anyone who isn’t her. And I know I sound like the most classic first love story ever but atleast for right now that’s how I feel. Everytime I see a woman I think of her, everytime I see a prayer mat I think of everything wrong I did. And I just don’t want anything or anyone that isn’t her, cuz I will literally js try to make that new woman into her and that’s unfair.
I don’t know what to do, I keep asking for forgiveness and hoping Allah just knows what I feel, I just wanna talk to her one more time, show her I’ve improved and get both our families involved so we can stay as far away from haram as possible. But it feels so hopeless. Especially cuz of the fact that I don’t even feel like I am worth enough to ask Allah for something other than forgiveness, piece of garbage like me doesn’t deserve to ask for a woman or a money or whatever stupid desire, all I can ask for is forgiveness
This was a rant ig? I put it as controversial bcuz well, it was a haram relationship and I am really glad that aspect is over, but I am still regretful and I want another chance cuz we didn’t even know it was haram 😭 obv thats not why it ended but i js… idk. I sound pathetic ik feel free to laugh, i hope i make someone smile atleast.
