I wanna pray 5x/day too!!! :( My life is MESSED UP right now. Insha-Allah everything will be fine once I get a good job and move out. I’ll become such a GOOOOOD MUSLIM Insha-Allah! I was born a Muslim, but didn’t understand Islam’s significance until 3 years ago. It’s a pretty big shame that I still don’t pray regularly though the last 3 years have really opened my mind. It’s just the people I live with. Once I move out, Insha-Allah I am going to become a REALLY REALLY GOOD Muslim! Insha-Allah I’ll get a chance to move out in the weeks ahead.

This probablly won’t make any sense to non-Muslims but here goes…

It’s probablly considered un-Islamic (and even a sin) to buy lottery tickets, but I don’t really consider it gambling because I only ever play 1 set of numbers through “Lotto Advance” (signed up for the 26 draw plan so I’ve only spent like $52 on it), and if I win it’s obviously a blessing FROM God so if God (Allah SWT) is gonna give me a tonne of money Himself why should it be considered “haram”?

I REALLY believe I can become a better Muslim after moving out on my own, Insha-Allah. Is that Islamically forbidden? My family isn’t very religious, and I really canNOT put up with my siblings. My mom was like, “yeah, fine, move out”. And she’s said this many times, but not in the best way. The bottom line is I don’t want to feel guilty after having moved out (though I probablly will). I’ve started looking for a job that will allow me to afford living on my own so Insha-Allah within the next few weeks…

Have any of YOU been in this situation?

Btw, I’m 22… 23 in a few months. And I’m not moving out to get married or anything… Just wanna get away from my family so I can realize a feeling of independance and avoid the arguements, fights, and the sin being written in my book because of all this (just had a bad arguement/fight today).

Mas’Salam.

Is it okay for a Muslim guy to move out around age 22-23 in order to better his Deen, etc…? Cuz like I have serious issues with my family. They’re not very religious and we’ve got LOTS of other problems that have gone on for TOO LONG between us as well.

So I think I better get the heck outta here. Its probablly considered religiously immoral, eh? How hard would it be to be forgiven for committing this potential “sin”?

My folks aren’t that well off financially so if I stayed I could help out with finances, but I really cant put up living with these people… There’s too many issues.

I’ve started looking for a job and should be able to move out in the month ahead, God-willing.

Any Muslims on this site been in a similar situation? And like did you feel guilty as hell afterwards for abandonning your family?

Thank you in advance.
