WASWASAS

[sky_012]

:salam2:

i hope u are all in best of health InshAllah,

some time ago, i posted a topic about waswasas i had, which were shoking and disturbing me, and i was very upset; everyone here tried to make me feel better by quoting hadith, articles, books, these waswasas started 8 months ago, when i decided to become a good muslim , i know in the beginning i was having them , because i was becoming good and sheytan didn't like that, but now it has been so much time, and day my day, my life has become so lifeless, and i think i'm in a stage now i need to perhaps see a psycologist , these waswasas are growing more and more and are a part of my life, i don't feel anymore like i 'm good i feel sheytan has become my intimate friend , and Allah SWT let him become my intimate friend due to my past sins, i feel beeing like a desperate fish out of the water, feeling so desperate inside and outside myself, i know whatever i keep secret in my heart Allah SWT Know it, everyday i pray i get some morals, i get good thoughts, but i can't help it anymore, i can't control it, i feel beeing different from everyone outside, i can't face ppl, Quran helps me , but as soon as i stop listenning to it, everything comes back it means i should listen to it 24/7 , plus even if keep saying i seek refuge from shytan nothing helps, when some day, for 2 or 3 hours i don't have any bad or obscene thought, i wish time could stop, and my heart , soul and brain are finally having some rest, i cry almost everyday, i know i'm talking here like a victim, i know if i have problems it's all dur to me, whatever bad happens to me is due to me, but i don't know how i can ask Allah SWT to forgive me, to cure me

please give me some practical advice i really ask u
Jazak Allah in advance

i'm thinking to start tahajud at night, but during the week, i'm so tired due to uni, i think i should start with week ends first and ask for forgiveness

 

[umm ayub]

Allah is the Best of Helpers & Has POWER over EVERYTHING.


first & foremost, it is such an honour to be Tested by Allah, for surely, He tests those most whom He Loves Most, as a muslim following the straight path we balance, love, hope and Fear of Allah swt. so never ever think that Allah wont Forgive u, for He Will inshaAllah, if an individual repents from shirk, Allah forgives them! SubhanAllah theres no sin greater than shirk...

And secondly, Allah has surely honoured u by allowing u to even think about praying tahajjud!!! SubhanAllah its almost as if Allah is saying come and grab alll the Blessings u want and take and have what EVER u want!!! and ur in ur mind saying im tired, i wanna sleep cuz of uni etc...
Know that when u take one step to Allah, Allah takes TEN in return!!!


To help u pray tahajjud i really reccommend Muhammed al Shareefs talk called the middle of the night, u can download it for free from here or listen to it online, if you do ANYTHING tonight, make dua, and listen to this talk, Alhamdulilah Allah has surely Blessed this brother, MashaAllah.Allahuma barek feehu...(click the link or copy & paste into browser)

http://www.lightuponlight.com/islam/modules.php?name=Stream2&file=index&lid=474

So dont worry because u are not the only one out there!!! every second, millions of muslims face this, but not everyone is brave enough to talk about it or deal with, increase ur knowledge read authentic books, if u want a reading list inshaAllah we can find u one to build your Imaan...

Allah has Power over ALL THINGS AND BEINGS< Not a leave falls except that He Knows it. And surely it is He Who Created the Heavens and the Earth & He the Almighty Created Shaitan, as a test for mankind, as Allah Says in the Quran(paraphrased sorry), Do the believers think they can say we believe and then be left alone? surely not, they will be tested.
And Know that those who are patient will be the successful ones, dont let shaitan take over u, for he is the cursed one, the one who out of arrogance disobeyed the Almighty, who Created the cursed shaitan! surely, then its ONLY Allah who can Help us over His own Creation..

Wa iyakjaza.

Sister,

If my car was acting up, I would see a mechanic.
If my cat was ill, I would see a vet.
If my heart was troubled by the signs of depression, I would see a therapist.

Sister, don't ignore your resources. Mental stress or illness, is just that , illness. See a professional to help. Lean on Qu'aran, but also seek someone trained in psychology or psychiatry to help you over this period. It sounds very much like depression. Therapy and sometimes medication will help these things greatly. There is no shame in seeking the help you need.

Question:
As-salaamu-alaikum,
I have been a great sinner before. I did not read my salaat often enough, did not make zikr, read durood,etc.
Recently, I experienced some misfortune in my life and I have only myself to blame. This misfortune, has opened my eyes in many ways and I have started a complete turn-around of my previous lifestyle. I need to know if there is anything I may read daily to become closer to The Almighty and really focus on doing good to wipe out the evils/sins of my previous lifestyle. Is there things I may read while I am working too?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

All praise be to Allaah for the great blessing which He has bestowed upon you by guiding you to the way of truth after you had been astray, and for your return to Him after you had been a sinner, neglecting His laws. We ask Him, may He be glorified, to complete His favour upon you by guiding you further and making you adhere steadfastly to His religion. As regards what you should do about your past and how you can make up for what you have missed, you will find detailed answers in the book “.."I Want to Repent, But...",

With regard to du’aa’s to do with repentance that you can recite every day and whilst at work, al-hamdulillah there are many such du’aa’s, among the greatest of which are as follows:

“Rabbi’ghfir wa’rham wa anta khayru’l-raahimeen (My Lord! Forgive and show mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!)” [al-Mu’minoon 23:118 – interpretation of the meaning].

“Rabbanaa ‘ghfar lanaa dhunoobanaa wa israafanaa fi amrinaa (Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and transgressions (in keeping our duties to You).” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:147 – interpretation of the meaning].

Shaddaad ibn Aws (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best prayer for seeking forgiveness is to say: ‘Allaahumma anta rabbi la ilaaha illa anta, Khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduka wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa’dika ma astata’t. A’oodhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu, aboo’u laka bi ni’matika ‘alayya wa aboo’u laka bi dhanbi, faghfir li fa innahu laa yaghfiru’l-dhunoob illaa anta (O Allaah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise (to You) as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from all the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess to You all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You).” Whoever says this during the day, having faith in it and dies before the evening comes, will be among the people of Paradise, and whoever says it during the night, having faith in it, and dies before the morning comes, will be among the people of Paradise.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5831).

Abu Moosa reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite the following du’aa’: “Allaahumma’ghfir li khatee’ati wa jahli wa israafi fi amri wa maa anta a’lam bihi minni. Allaahumma’ghfir li jiddi wa hazli wa khata’i wa ‘amdi wa kullu dhaalika ‘indi. Allaahumma’ghfir li maa qaddamtu wa maa ajjartu wa ma asrartu wa maa a’lamtu wa maa anta a’lam bihi minni. Anta’l-muqaddim wa anta’l-mu’akhkhir wa anta ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer ( Allaah, forgive me for my sin. My ignorance and my transgression (in keeping my duty to You), and whatever You know about me better than I do. O Allaah, forgive me for sins committed in earnest and in jest, by mistake and deliberately, and I have done all of that. O Allaah, forgive me for what I have done in the past and what I will do in the future, what I have done in secret and what I have done openly, and whatever You know about me better than I do. You are the One Who raises and lowers people’s status, and You are Able to do all things).” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5919, and Muslim, 4896. This version reported by Muslim).

Ibn ‘Umar reported that the people counted for the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he recited one hundred times in one gathering: “Raabi’ghfir li wa tubb ‘alayya innaka anta’l-tawwaab ul-ghafoor (My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance, for You are the Acceptor or Repentance, the All-Forgiving).” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 3356. He said, This is a ghareeb saheeh hasan hadeeth). May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

I agree. Our psychological wellfare should not be for granted, sometimes we might need the help of a specialist.
I'll make dua for you.

sister do not be sad, do not cry. Do not make things difficult for yourself...
Where are u from? . Maybe we can have a sister to help u and meet u face 2 face instead of thru the net. Do u have muslims friend in your school???

Do not listen to shaitan . The more u feel sad the more the shaitan wins... You should declare total war with the shaitan...

Fasting is the cure inshAllah. Regarding repentance...,the earlier post helps a lot...

i make dua that Allah make things easy for u, lighten whatever thats weighing in ur mind and inshAllah u will be stronger than ever after this incident. Ameen Ya Rabbal A lamin

Invocation for when you find something becoming difficult for you

139. O Allah, there is no ease other than what You make easy. If You please You ease sorrow.

Reference:

Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (no. 2427), and Ibn As- Sunni (no. 351). Al-Hafidh (Ibn Hajar) said that this Hadith is authentic. It was also declared authentic by 'Abdul-Qadir Al-Arna'ut in his checking of An-Nawawi's Kitabul-Athkarp. p106.

:salam2:
Dear sister

I understand all that you are talking about .....at the start of my islamic life I tried to be perfect like Sahaba ......i tried to be with no fault at all.......I tried to pray like the good people do .........and the shaytan started with me the way he started with you ........putting in my hearts thoughts that make me sad and misrible .........thoughts of every evil which i reject totaly but the whisper continue ........I think that this is the way Allah swt planned for us .....the shaytan will whisper but we should know how to deal with him ......Allah swt told us in Quran:

2:268 The Evil one threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly. Allah promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties. And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things.

7:20 Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever."


7:27 O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.

7:200 If a suggestion from Satan assail thy (mind), seek refuge with Allah. for He heareth and knoweth (all things).


7:201 Those who fear Allah, when a thought of evil from Satan assaults them, bring Allah to remembrance, when lo! they see (aright)!


14:22 And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."


24:21 O ye who believe! follow not Satan's footsteps: if any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: but Allah doth purify whom He pleases: and Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things).


35:6 Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents, that they may become Companions of the Blazing Fire.


58:10 Secret counsels are only (inspired) by the Evil One, in order that he may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in the least, except as Allah permits; and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.

Dear sister: try to know Allah swt more , learn about the perfect noble attributes of Allah (Asmaa alhusnaa) , such knowledge lighten your heart and keep shaytan away...... Read quran with all your hear, have a good company to spend your time with, give chairity, remember Allah by your heart and tongue, be good to your relatives and especialy your peranets, fight shaytan with faith and good deeds ...never surrender only to Allah and remember that you are living in the earth of Allah under his sky , eating his fruits,, drinking his water ....so turn to your nourisher with all your heart .......The shaytan is killed by La ellah ella Allah and astagfur Allah.

 

[sky_012]

Jazak Allah everyone
InshAllah i won't give up , i think i should accept the fact that maybe Allah SWT is angry after me, that's why he has made shytan my intimate friend, accepting this will enable to me to react and try to please Allah SWT from all my heart and soul

please i have a last request, can any of u share good audio lectures, sothat i can dowload and listen to them , i can't read htese days for some reason , but can listen for hours some lectures or Quran

some of ur replies were littelraly like if someone hit me on my head to tell me "open ur eyes and see the truth ", May Allah SWT Bless u for ur efforts and Jazak Allah to those who shared articles, or gave advice my pm

i just wanted to say, i try to stay away from bad ppl as u advice me, an di've been fasting continuoudly for 3 and half months to try to purify myself, but then my parents didn't allow me to fast more,

sis ayesha i didn't want to disturb u with my problems,

i can't tell u how much i was amazed by your all knowlegde dear bors and sis and i pray that u get the recompense u all deserve in this life and hereafter, it isn't easy to advice someone like me and try to find a solution , but Inshallah i'll be learning more from all of u if u allow me,

wassalam

sorry for replying so late, i was sooo upsate all these days, but i try to convince myself that i'm not like others, i won't let myself going toward depression and hell and i'll proove that every sinner has a future ,
sometimes when i feel ur replies i think in reality in islam , if u folllow it correclty u are never sad, is that true? because in every matter u rely in allah SWT, of course if u did bad, u repent and regret and ask for forgiveness, but if u start becoming good and having hope Allah SWt will forgive u, it means even in that case u can live happily, is that true?

 

[Umm Aysha]

Asalaamu Alaykum

sis ayesha i didn't want to disturb u with my problems,

SubhanAllah sis how can you say this, i need you more than you no, please come on msn insha-Allah i may explain to you

Otherwise i will keep on sending PMs i wont give up on you my dear sis and no waaaaaaay are you disturbing me am your bajoo or no??? :tongue:

 

[Mrmuslim]

salaam alikom sister,

Just one advise ..

i think i should accept the fact that maybe Allah SWT is angry after me,

Allah s.w.t Raheem his forgivness comes before his punishment his mercy comes before his anger.

So dont assume that Allah is angry with you because if he was angry you wont have the chance to repent and ask his forgivness.

and here is a list of lectures about Repentance and Forgiveness

Dear sister:
I think we all need to full our hearts with love of Allah swt mostly then we should have fear from our sins and a great hope in the unlimited mercy, ......Love of Allah swt can mend hearts.

Salam,

I know exactly what you mean Sky. Different questions keep on popping up in my head & it seems they are never-ending.

And you know what? I use to read The Quran every morning before leaving for work (after Fajr) but now I can hardly get up at time to offer Fajr...

Just as life is a constant struggle and we have to make an effort to go to work everyday, cook food (3 times a day!!!) to feed ourselves, just like that we have to hold on to Allah. Life is a temporary state.

The above applies to me as much as to you. I feel like Im actually talking to myself here

Will Insha'Allah remember you in my prayers. And All, please remember me in your prayers.

WaAlikeum Assalam

 

[sky_012]

Assalam U Alaykum ,

i came to this post again of mine to say Jazak Allah to everyone who tried to help me, because i always come here and talk about grief, but don't sya anything during good times, i've realized that it's by thinking all the time that my heart is bad that i thought bad, but now i always think my heart is like white milk and my soul like white snow, and i can't let any bad thing enter them and make them unclean and by miracle, the grief and all bad things fly away and i feel better myself, just by giving myself these 2 images; having waswasa isn't a fatality, we just have to be ready to push them away without fearing it
i know one day i'll succeed, i know it, and my mother feels much more better than before, and i have the feelings that the day she will be 100% fine isn't far

wassalam

May Allah SWT Protect u all Amen
