What's wrong with me?!

Muslim_Gurl

Thank You Allah!
Asslamu alaykum

I can't believe I'm saying this but I've been having many doubts about Islam (asthaghfirullah). Maybe it's just the Shaytan because I know for sure that Allah exists and Islam is the true religion. I mean, just the quran proves it. But I don't know why, sometimes I start to think that maybe I'm not doing what God wants me to do, that I'm not following the right religion. But I know I am. Like when I look at other religions there are so many flaws and I can't find one that is in Islam. Everything about Islam is perfect. But still I get these terrible thoughts. I get thoughts that the torah might also be right and all other terrible stuff. I don't know what's wrong with me. I want it all to stop because if I was to die today, I think I will go straight to hell thinking all this.

What should I do? Could someone provide me with more proofs about Islam and Allah, just to clear the doubts that I'm not suppose to have.
Thank you.

sister dont worry,shaitan is playin games with you, dont be part of the game.

you know whats right, so stick to it. Read Qur'anic translation and let ALLAH talk to you.

i hope some one will help you...

you are a believer, you know ALLAH exists so why worry. shaitan wants to take you to jahannam with him....dont let him.

i hope he's packing his bags coz Ramadhaan is around the corner.

dont try to prove anything to the devil coz i think he may start playing tricks with you.

make a lot of dhikr...dont lose this opportunity.

ALLAH is watching you and remember HE loves you more than your own mother. "...which favours of thy LORD can Ye deny..." surah Rahman.

dont let shaitan play games with you. But let ALLAH talk to you.

Was-salaam Alaikum Muslimah.

with regards to the torah being correct look in the thread about the torah on this page, that should insha allah answer your question
but what is the issue really, do you have doubts about god or about the islam being true amongst other religions?

Asslamaliekum warahmatullahi wabrakatu,
As sister sabs1164 said its just a waswasah from shaitan, Make more dhikr and read Quran more often, inshallah should help. Read tafseer of Quran (or you can listen to these super awesome lectures on tafseer.).

If you can find any authetic source then you can read story of Abdullah ibn salam (radhiallahuanhu) he was a Jewish Rabi at time of Prophet (pbuh) if I remember correctly.

Also Here's another emaan booster story:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:

Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Apostle had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)."

Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was:

'What is his family status amongst you?'

I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.'

Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?'

I replied, 'No.'

He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?'

I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.'

He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?'

I replied, 'They are increasing.'

He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?'

I replied, 'No. '

Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?'

I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that.

Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?'

I replied, 'Yes.'

Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?'

I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.'

Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?'

I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.'

Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom.

I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle

which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement: )

'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64).

Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)."

The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).

'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'

While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Apostle to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.'

(After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).'

(On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience.

(When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).

to Allah we belong
wa alaikum salam sister,

nice to see you back again..hope your health is good now inshallah! and Ramadan Mubarak.

and..
1. do you get doubts about Einstein theory of relativity? no right? its because you are not interested in it. as you are interested in Islam mashallah, the doubts are natural. so dont worry too much.

2. the more you'll tell your mind not to think about purple bananas, the more it will about it. because the brain has to think about the object of which it should not think. so the more you will tell your mind not to think about these doubts, the more it will. so, just try to ignore it.

3. some Hadith to calm your heart:

“Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to him and said, ‘We find in our hearts things that none of us dares utter.’ He said, ‘Do you really find that?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘That is clear faith.’” Saheeh Muslim


Companion came to the Messenger and asked: “Sometimes I experience such thoughts that I would rather be reduced to charcoal than get them on my lips” (meaning that to speak of these thoughts was worse than burning in fire, m). The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “All praise is to Allah who restricted the devil’s designs to mere evil promptings”. (Sunan Abu Dawud,)

“The Shaytaan said to the Lord of Glory: ‘By Your Glory O Lord, I will keep trying to misguide Your slaves so long as their souls are in their bodies.’ The Lord said, ‘By My Glory and Majesty, I will continue to forgive them so long as they ask My forgiveness.’” classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 2/32

“Verily Allah forgives my Ummah for the evil thoughts that occur in their hearts until they don’t say it verbally or act upon it”. (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim).

4. The solution to this is to seek refuge in Allah away from Satan the accursed!

And to say “Amantu Billahi wa rasolihi” 3 times which means “I believe in Allah and his messenger”

As Shaytan is here to lead us astray, evil thoughts may come up in (y)our mind. So, don't panic. The best way to fight them is to be patient and earn more Islamic knowledge.

Wa 'alaikumassalam warahmatullah

That is waswaas(the evil whisperer) as other brothers and sisters have told you,he can merely prompt you to do things.
Seek refuge in Allah from these thoughts and say Aamantu billahi warusulihi Allahu ahad Allahu samad lam yalid walam yulad walam ya kullahu kufu wan ahad(I believe in Allah and His messengers,Allah is one Allah is self suffiecient,neither He begets nor has he been begotten and there is nothing like Him or co equal to Him.)

Repel evil with good as it has been mentioned a few times in the Qur'an to repel evil with that which is good.
This Ramadan offer more salah and earn more hasanat,try getting closer to Allah through compulsory and voluntary acts of worship.
Make dua to Allah when you are alone and no one is with you ,like at midnight or when no one is around.
Read Qur'an,listen to iman boosting lectures.
Avoid getting into debates about religion as much as you can.
Be certain that you are going to meet Allah!As if it were a part of your daily routine.
Listen to lectures that brothers and sisters have posted for you insha'Allah.

Torah isn't right ,their Rabbis have used their writings to corrupt it,similarly the case with Bible.Allah never promised to protect these books but Allah has promised to protect the Qur'an.
No other book acquaints human beings with their Creator in a manner Qur'an does.It acquaints human being not only with their creator but with their ownself and gives rise to an introspective spirit in people.
Just read the starting few verses of Surah Al Baqarah
and you will understand what I am talking about,it's like a mirror in which a person sees themselves and then through introspection within and outside of themselves are acquainted with their creator.
May Allah help you and be with you.Ameen

Dear sister, it is the job of shaitan to shake the faith of the believer he is our enemy , he wants us to go to hell never surrender.......have more faith more knowledge in Islam do more good .....be strong then shaitan will surrender. When you are away from Allah he will return ......come closer by faith and good deeds say diker you will kill shaitan if you are sincere.
