raheja, there is no marriage between a Muslim and a Hindu. It cannot happen and will never be accepted. You have to break off this relationship as it cannot go anywhere. If you need more detailed advice, please log in and write your question as a separate post.

Salaam i'm 28 yrs old and i am married. I i should add i'm a woman. I have been very good all my life, very shy and never the type to get with boys etc, got married at 16.it was arranged but i wasn't against it. I was quite happy.well we were happy till about 7years into the marriage, i was working he was working and we spent less and less time together. I started 2 feel like my husband felt nothing for me even though he never said or did anything to me which was horrible.from a very young age i have prayed 5 times and abided by all the rules however i met someone who was alot older than me and we got involved. I had never in my life thought i would ever go down that path but it happened. I am ashamed of my actions i know i can't blame my husband he is not a bad man and i will be held accountable for my actions. And i cannot blame the other man for taking advantage of me when i was vunerable because we'r both consenting adults. Even though it was not a continous affair we'v meet a few times which has resulted in me getting pregnant twice. I have two beautiful boys masallah i am not proud of how they came to be but their my babies and i love them. I know that their not my husband's as we hav been trying since we got married, however i believe having them saved our marriage he has no knowledge of this. But i am very sad that i took this path and i sometimes feel like i'm living a lie with my husband even though i'v not gone back to the other. My husband is a good man and a good father but i have lost my innocense and purity which was my sincere belief and i want to know if its possible to go back to that state of mind after everything. Any feedback will be appreciated jazakhula

My advice to you is to desist from associating with bad companies and try as much as possible to be reciting the holy Quran and be observing your five daily prayers in congregation, this will help inshaAllah. May Allah help us aameen

Dear Sir/Ma'am;

I am a 25 years guy originally from yemen , I went to study abroad in some where in the far east , when I reached there , I was a good guy I used to pray all the time and just concentrate on my studies , for around two years; however now after 5 years of being there I don know what happened to me , I I am doing a very bad things and big sins that I even feel very shy to tell , I tried to stop but every time I say this is my last time ..but I can't hold for long..i guess If i finished the subject which is remaining for me to finish my studies , and went back to my country i will stop , as the environment there would help me to do that ,please pray for me ..I just wanted to share some thing with u, as i think it may help me to feel okay.

Salam

Salam sisterz,
I really need your help. Something is really bothering me. Though I have been praying, reading Quran and asking for my every intentionally/ unintentionally wrongdoing. I am not fully feeling peaceful. I feel scared, guilt regret and pain. Is there any possible way I can ask you something in private. May be your words might help me in getting picture more clear. I know everyone on this forum is really busy. If you can take some time out for me I will really appreciate.
Shukran

The heart gets sick - by Ibn Al-Qayyim

The heart gets sick as the body does and
its cure is in asking for forgiveness and protection.
It also becomes rusty like a mirror does and
it is polished by remembering Allah.

The heart can also be naked like the body
and can lose its dress and decoration, which is piety,
and it can feel hunger and thirst like the body does,
and its nourishment is knowledge, love, trust,
and offering service to Allah

Prayer of Forgiveness by Hasan al-Basri

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:

“O Allah, I seek your forgiveness for every sin for which I presented my repentance before You; and regarding which I stood before You swearing an oath in Your name and called Your friends from among Your servants to be my witnesses – that I would never return to disobeying You.

But when Satan with his cunning tempted me to return to it; and Your forsaking me [due to Your anger over my impiety] caused me to [despairingly] waver toward it; and my lower self invited me to disobey You once more; I hid myself in shame from Your servants, but openly and daringly committed sins before You, though I knew full well that no covering nor any closed door could conceal me from You and no veil could hide me from Your sight.

I still defied You by disobediently doing what You had prohibited to me; but [despite my iniquity], You did not remove Your covering from me, but rather treated me equal to Your pious servants, as though I had always been an obedient servant and swift to fulfill Your every command and fearful of Your warnings.

I remained obscure in front of Your servants, and none besides You knew my secret. You did not single me out from Your servants with a mark of disgrace, but instead showered upon me blessings like theirs; and with this You distinguished me over them as though I were, in Your sight, of a status like theirs. All this was owing only of Your forbearance and abundant blessings – generous grace from You to me. For You then, O my Lord, belongs all praise.

I ask from You, O Allah, just as You have covered my evil deeds in this world, that You do not humiliate me with them on the Day of Judgment. Forgive my sins, O Most Merciful of the merciful!”

- One of the most eloquent of the seventy prayers in the book Prayers for Forgiveness by Hasan al-Basri

Ya Haqq!
