Wa Alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh!

I truly admire your mindfulness and love for Allah (SWT). May He bless you for your sincerity in wanting to do the right thing!

About wearing your necklace with Allah’s name—it’s completely understandable that you’re concerned about showing the proper respect. The general ruling in Islam is that we should honor Allah’s name and avoid bringing it into places that aren’t clean, like a restroom.

From what scholars say, it’s not haram to wear it inside, but it’s best to cover it or tuck it under your clothing before entering. If it’s possible to remove it, that’s even better, just out of extra respect. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to take off his ring that had “Muhammad Rasulullah” engraved on it before going into the restroom (Abu Dawood 19), so some scholars use this as an example of showing extra care.

At the end of the day, your intention matters—you wear it as a reminder of Allah, and that’s a beautiful thing. If covering it keeps that respect, then inshaAllah, you’re doing the right thing! May Allah bless you and increase you in iman.

• Opinions of Scholars

  • Hanafi and Maliki Schools: They view it as disliked (makruh) but not sinful as long as it is covered or concealed.

  • Shafi’i and Hanbali Schools: They also prefer avoiding it, but if it is tucked under clothing or covered, then it is permissible.

• Evidence from the Sunnah

  • The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed us to be respectful of Allah’s name. However, there is no direct prohibition of entering the restroom while wearing something that has Allah’s name, as long as it is properly covered.

  • The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to remove his ring that had “Muhammad Rasulullah” engraved on it before entering the restroom (Abu Dawood 19). Some scholars use this as an analogy for similar cases.

And Allah knows best.

Assalamu Alaikum, dear heart,

I genuinely appreciate your courage for asking this question. It shows a desire to purify your heart and draw closer to Allah, which is a beautiful sign of sincerity. The struggle to guard our eyes and hands in this time is real, and you’re not alone in facing it.

Here are some heartfelt, humble suggestions to help you resist these temptations:

1. Strengthen Your Relationship with Allah:

The more conscious you become of Allah’s presence, the more you’ll feel hesitant to displease Him. Make dua sincerely — even if it’s just a few heartfelt words like, “Ya Allah, protect me from what displeases You and help me guard my heart, my eyes, and my hands.”

2. Guard Your Heart First:

Everything begins from the heart. If we allow our hearts to entertain inappropriate thoughts, it becomes harder to control our eyes and actions. Strive to fill your heart with love for Allah and awareness of His presence.

3. Avoid Triggers:

Identify the places, situations, or media that lead you toward temptation. Unfollow accounts, block websites, and minimize exposure to things that weaken your resolve. It’s not weakness — it’s wisdom.

4. Engage in Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah):

Keeping your tongue busy with dhikr can help you control your thoughts and actions. Simple phrases like SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, or Astaghfirullah can ground you when temptation strikes.

5. Fast Occasionally:

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry… and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.” (Bukhari)
Fasting helps you develop self-discipline and softens the heart.

6. Keep Good Company:

Surround yourself with people who remind you of Allah. Join Islamic study circles or online communities that support spiritual growth. The right company can help you stay on the right path.

7. Redirect Your Energy:

Channel your energy into beneficial pursuits — learning new skills, volunteering, working on a hobby. The less idle time you have, the less room Shaytan has to work.

8. Seek Forgiveness and Never Lose Hope:

If you fall, don’t despair. Shaytan wants you to feel like there’s no hope, but Allah’s mercy is always greater. Make istighfar and remind yourself that every time you return to Allah, He welcomes you with open arms.

Lastly, Be Kind to Yourself:

The struggle itself is a sign of faith. You could have given up, but you’re seeking solutions — that shows a heart that still cares. Take it one day at a time, and don’t be harsh on yourself. Growth is gradual.

I pray that Allah strengthens you, grants you steadfastness, and fills your heart with His love. May He make it easy for you and for all of us to stay firm on the path that pleases Him.

You’re in my duas.

রমজানের শেষ দশদিনের যেকোনো বেজোড় রাতে লাইলাতুলকদর তালাশ করা যায়, অর্থাৎ ২১,২৩,২৫,২৭,২৯ রমজান দিবাগত রাতগুলো। তবে অনেক আলেমদের গবেষণা ও ব্যাখ্যায় এবং বুজুর্গানেদ্বীনের মতে ২৬ তারিখ দিবাগত রাত অর্থাৎ সাতাশ তারিখে পবিত্র শবে কদরের অন্যতম সম্ভাব্য রাত।

মর্যাদার এ রাত পেলে মুমিন বান্দা আল্লাহর কাছে কী প্রার্থনা করবেন? কী চাইবেন? এ সম্পর্কে হাদিসের একটি বর্ণনা এভাবে এসেছে- হযরত আয়েশা রাদিয়াল্লাহু আনহা বর্ণনা করেন, একবার আমি রাসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লামকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম- হে আল্লাহর রাসুল! (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) আপনি বলে দিন, আমি লাইলাতুল কদর কোন রাতে হবে তা জানতে পারি, তাতে আমি কী (দোয়া) পড়বো?

রাসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বললেন, তুমি বলবে-

উচ্চারণ: ‘আল্লাহুম্মা ইন্নাকা আ’ফুয়্যুন; তুহিব্বুল আ’ফওয়া; ফা’ফু আ’ন্নী।’

অর্থ: হে আল্লাহ! আপনি ক্ষমাশীল; ক্ষমা করতে ভালোবাসেন; অতএব আমাকে ক্ষমা করে দিন। (মুসনাদে আহমাদ, ইবনে মাজাহ, তিরমিজি, মিশকাত)
