So i mixed the days between Dhul-Hijjah and Eid al-Adha so i didnt know the fast of Dhul-Hijjah already began and idk if should fast not only because i missed the other days but also because

I'm not quite mentally well, nor am I physically, even though I work out. Even just today, I was deep in my dark thoughts, wanting to do something. But I really wanna try, but should I?? I weigh between 50-55 and I'm 175, age 19.(not trying to gain weight i rather stay that weight than gain any) Idkk uh...

I'm trying to calculate in my head the time to eat, but also what to eat and if I should try. I did try at Ramadan, yet those thoughts appeared and darker, making me want to do something, but sigh, I don't know, I'm doubtful.

Is this shirk? Long and trigger warning sucid.al thoughts

​

They (I'm not saying who because I don't want to be exposing who)—so they make me and my sibling drink water with quran verses or something they write on a board but it's in arabic and they pour it into the water. They hand us bracelets saying it will protect us. The one they handed me has a blue eye on the bracelet, and I don't wear it, nor do I believe that it is protecting me. Even when they told me just a few minutes ago that they learned the Quran in Egypt or Yemen and said it isn't shirk... BS, it's pissing me off.

Especially due to the fact that they abused my sibling and me growing up, and now my sibling is in a psych ward, coming to visit home two times a week. Instead of taking accountability that they caused this—and also caused me to have suicidal thoughts—they blame Shaytan. They placed garlic under my sibling's bed, or pieces of paper with I don't know what, and a bracelet around their stomach and also the neck. They make them shower with garlic water, and me with them shower with garlic water, and me with lemon water And also what's on the picture as well.

The paper on the top of the door, they told me it's Quran. I think they have written Quran on the paper and placed it there. Anyways, to me, it's all maybe Allah giving them some type of punishment, making them go crazy like that all because of what they did to me and my sibling growing up. And if it is, Alhamdulillah for that. I know Allah would bring justice for me, which feels to me like it's now making them go nuts over someone giving us the evil eye. Maybe it's true, but I can't help but think maybe it's both Allah's way of teaching them, and maybe also a little bit of the evil eye from other people, and them just backbiting and more and the fact i still chose to return to Allah even tho to me as a kid i rejected islam because of their action thinking that that's islam..Alhumdulilah i came back to islam and also another question to i have to remake my prayers for those years? Even tho i didnt like praying nor wanted because i was being forced and abused into it..amd im struggling to have the motivation to learn and i feel bad it im still a year in not knowing the full 5 prayers tho it has been a rough year of abuse and sucidal thoughts and close attempts..?

Anyways, I'm trying to get help for myself next week with a social worker because of these thoughts... and I'm getting tired. I'm 19 and my sibling is 13, if that matters lol.

Now I'm asking from you is to pray for me and my sibling to heal from this, and InshaAllah I'll be strong enough to take care of her and myself because I mentally can't even work at a job without everyday thinking of ending it which a few times i planned to. Now I'm unemployed but staying active, etc. But... I won't explain more, but just pray. JazakAllahkhairan

Isn't this mindset/fear harmful in islam??So i was on on tik tok and some women were saying"Having a son is my WORST fear" and..

"i don't want to have kids because i'm scared i'll have a son"

"I'm so scared to have kids cause I don't want to be a boy mom!"

So to be honest i was agreeing with them but i paused because it felt like one of THOSE content where women bash men and acuse them of everything so then it got me thinking what's the islamic view on such mindset since the women i watched weren't muslim women but i am sooooo i came here to ask

Is there a problem being a kpop stan and muslim ?

I'm not as "obsessed" as I was back then; I'd say I was and still am somewhat of a normal K-pop stan. I don't dive too deep into their personal lives, but I did use to and still do here and there listen to K-pop news or updates just for the fun of it, to be honest.

In the past, I was more into their shows because I got to see their friendships, and they’re really fun to watch. When watching their shows, I felt happy for them because i was friendless, lonley teen(15/16)and rooted for such friendships. I would get emotional, and I didn't play around whenever someone started to hate on them, I got defensive. I hated when people said it was just a 'phase,' and when people hated on them, I felt like they were just jealous because they didn't look as good as the members.

To K-pop fans, I’m not that deep into K-pop because I have zero albums and no photocards anymore, nor do I post about the idols. However, to non-K-pop fans, it might still seem like I am Also, I’ve always had a problem with the word 'K-pop idols' because of Allah. Some of the songs also had weird lyrics, so I was like, 'Ehh, I don't know about this one,' because it feels wrong and demonic.

I used to like BTS a lot and posted edits of them on my IG constantly. I only bought photocards of them and Enhypen before throwing them out two years later. Anyways, I just watched a video of a Christian creator talking about how to quit, and it got me thinking about it again. Even a year or two ago, I was watching a few videos from Christians and Muslims about how it might be a sin. I won't lie some of us are hardcore fans, and when it comes to also being Muslim, it feels wrong. I’ve already heard about how it’s affecting Muslim girls in Malaysia and Indonesia who are K-pop fans as well.

im seeing the same path from my little sister because she also likes kpop for awhile. Like 3 or 4 years and shes 13 Also wont lie i was into shipping the same genders in the group n watch bunch of shipping edits and actually think they are real and root for them and still kinda am🙂‍↕️

The vid i watched

Assalamu Alaikum. I’m 19, and I’m struggling to understand the boundaries of Halal and Haram money. It has reached a point where I’m terrified of even owning a credit card. This topic makes me spiral into a full-blown panic; checking my bank account feels like a "ticking bomb."

I haven't worked for months. I was fired after telling my manager I wasn't mentally stable enough to be overworked, and they let me go because of it. While I was working, I received a message saying I had to pay for the months I wasn't working right after I finished school. In my country, once you turn 18, there are certain legal payments required, but I didn't know about them.

My parents used to just give me cash for the mall, and I never had a password or access to my own bank account. When I started working, they suddenly expected me to know how to handle everything. On the day I opened my account, my dad told me to sign for a credit card. Alhamdulillah, I haven't used it at all because I’m so afraid of Riba (interest).

When that payment notice came through, I went into a massive spiral. I felt so hopeless that I had plans to end my life that day or shortly after because I didn't know how to cope. Eventually, the money was just taken out of my account, but now, even the thought of working or my parents mentioning money makes me feel suicidal. I check my account every day, terrified of another notice for the months I’ve been unemployed.

On top of this, things at home are very difficult. My sister and I have dealt with abuse, and trying to get help for that while dealing with this financial fear is too much. I’ve also been struggling with Pica (craving laundry detergent)as a way to feel calm, which I know isn't healthy.
