Hi, im new to tti, i dont know where to start so i'll start from the beginning...or from where it all went wrong for me.

Firstly, yes i am a Muslim.
So what happened was that i was going to get married to someone, i kind of knew her and we talked for a bit before deciding that we wanted to get married, and back then i used to practice quite a lot, so we never made out or anything, i tried to keep it as halal as possible. So my parents and her parents had discussed everything and we were going to get married, but then very close to the wedding there were rumors about her and that she was seeing someone else. At first i ignored them thinking that it might be a friend of hers from work or something and i was getting really angry at people who were talking about her. But then my friend asked to go with him and see for myself one day, so i went along and i saw with my own eyes, she was with another guy and was sitting on his lap. I asked my friend to drive me back and then i left home for about yr and i left my job and lived with one of my uni mates. Everyone was worried, i felt really bad for my mum, cos they thought i was to blame for everything, and i didn't tell anyone what had happened. But they eventually found out through my friend and then my brother got in touch with me to let me know that they know now what had happened and that it was ok for me to come back. So i came back, and its been about 3 months since i moved back in. But since that incident i have lost all faith, in everything, i stopped practising, and now my parents are talking about me getting married again but i don't want to, i just feel like its gonna happen again, i have lost complete faith in finding someone and have almost taken on oath to myself not to marry, ever.
So now i need help in finding my way back to islam, im finding it hard to concentrate when i try to pray, what happened is always on my mind, especially in times of silence. How do i fix this?

Read the quran and say Dua. Also remember your death. There is a hadith on this where a person asked the prophet of God (pbuh) how to make the heart soft he said to read the quran and and think about death.


May Allah help you in your test.

Salam Alaikum Brother

Dont lose your faith on the account of no one. Make Du'aa and remember Allah always. You know I say this alot people are put in your life for a reason and some people have to leave for another reason. I am glad you found out brother because obviously she was not for you. Allah has his way of letting us see things in different ways to stop us from making mistakes. You said you were practising your deen when this happened. Test will come to the pious to see who still follows Allah dont lose you faith and fail. Stay pious for Allah Ta'ala will bless you with a pious woman with the same characteristics as you inshallah. I hate to say I am glad you found out because as a pious man you want a woman who fears Allah like you do. Remember Allah takes something from us but believe me he will give you something better.

Assalamo alikom wa rahmato Allah wa barakato

Sorry, but it seems your faith was based on this woman, and not on your Creator. Everybody commits mistakes and more when their faith and commitement is not the strongest, but that doesn't have to affect our relationship with The Most Merciful, with our Sustainer and Judge.

It must've been very difficult for you, but that is actually a very good reason to cling unto Allah and His word. Surely Allah was just protecting you and I think you should be thankful for that. Can you imagine you seeing that after being married?

I also think you are finding it a bit hard to get back on track, because you had a long brake from Allah, and it is all a process. If you intention is the right one, be sure that Allah is already there for you, you just need to open your mind and start working hard again.

It is also important that after getting back to Allah properly, you make sure to find a commited and pious sister who won't have male friends and won't mingle in this manner.

Remember please, that Allah is never unjust, and He just wants the best for us.

May Allah sunhana wa taala help you and guide you.

He is suffering from a psychological problem: fear of marriage
I want to marry. I wish I have a good wife to live with in happiness and satisfaction, to have a loving relationship with, to pray at night with, her to be my source of comfort and I be her shelter. I am a man who lives with a big fear of marriage and women. I live in shyness and timidity. I feel I need to marry for some time now, my parents are persisting but I am too shy to say I want to marry. Although I feel like I want to scream and say I want to marry.
I feel that I have made my shyness and doubts about my sexual abilities a barrier between me and marriage. Yes, I would love to get married. I do not know why I run away from marriage, is it because I fear failing a lot or because I am not confident? I am a hesitant person as for the matters of buying and selling. I grew up in a conservative family; I rarely hear any talk about sex or even references to it. Although I hear a lot how our relatives talk to their sons about sex and make jokes, and the sons feel free to express themselves about sex and marriage.
I fear a lot I fail sexually in my marital life; I even went to have a fertility test, blood tests and other similar things. I do not know if it is my fear of marriage or my desire to stay away of it. Some of the investigations made me doubt myself even more, yet, I still feel it is not the investigations that make me hesitant to marry, it is my fear of it more than anything else. Every time I intend to talk to my family about my marriage I feel terrified.
Since my childhood, to be honest, I have convinced myself that it is impossible for me to marry, and that I will stay lonely until I die. If anyone one asks me about when I intend to marry, I immediately answer saying: “in paradise”. I feel that this has been imprinted onto my subconscious.
I want to marry, by Allah I want to marry. My fear of women and failing stays as a barrier between me and marriage. Also I cannot imagine that I am having intercourse with a woman, I cannot imagine that I am sleeping and travelling with a woman, all these matters stay as barriers between me and marriage.
I encouraged myself some time ago and talked to my family, and they engaged a girl to me and her family approved. But when the time to meet her came, I felt big fear from the whole matter, and then said to my family that I do not want to marry this girl.
I am over thirty years old now. I feel helpless although the hope is there. I feel hesitant although I have a great desire to marry. I am badly affected by my problem; I saw many psychiatrists complaining from my great worry and depression. They all said to me I have to take tablets, while they do not feel my suffering.
Except the last psychiatrist, he really put his hand on the root of the problem, which is my great fear of women, marriage, failing, and sex.
Please guide me. I need your advice and guidance. I want to destroy these barriers between me and marriage. Any word, negative or positive, will affect me a lot. I need who takes my hand to rest, comfort and marital happiness.


Praise be to Allaah.

You may be certain that we understand your problem and feel your pain, and that any Muslim in this world is our brother and what befalls him affects us too. We feel his joy if he rejoices and we feel his sorrow if he grieves. We will try to offer you a solution because we share your pain, so that you may be rid of this problem quickly, in sha Allaah.

You should realize that you are not the only one in this world who has problems and suffers worries, anxiety and depression. Right now you are facing a test from Allaah, and this test requires you to do some things so that you may learn from it and emerge from this calamity with many great benefits. These things include the following:

1 – Think positively of Allaah, for He has only decreed this thing for you for a reason that is known to Him. He wants good for you so long as you adhere to His commands and guidance, and obey His commands and avoid overstepping His limits and falling into that which He has forbidden. You do not know, perhaps this calamity has befallen you so that Allaah might ward off thereby something that is even worse; perhaps Allaah has warded off thereby some major sins and some destructive calamity without you realizing. So think positively of your Lord and believe that He will bring you forth from this calamity as a hair is pulled out of dough.

2 – Trials require patience and seeking reward. Allaah has praised those who are patient in His Book and has prepared for them a reward like no other, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning”

[al-Zumar 39:10]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also praised patience and those who have the characteristic of patience. He said – in a hadeeth whose authenticity is agreed upon – as was narrated by Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him): “…whoever is patient Allaah will bestow patience upon him, and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1400) and Muslim (1053).

So you have to be patient, for it is your provision at times of calamity and times of ease.

3 – Medical doctors say that diagnosis is two-thirds of the cure. From examining what you say about your situation in your question, it is clear that your problem is neither physical nor psychological, something that can be treated by a psychologist; rather it is persistent waswaas that is affecting you in an important aspect of your life. Waswaas is a serious disease, which if it takes hold of a person may lead to his doom and may put some people beyond the pale of Islam – we ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound. But, praise be to Allaah, your waswaas does not have to do with ‘aqeedah or basic matters of Islam, or with acts of worship or the pillars of Islam, rather it has to do with your hesitation to get married and in buying and selling, as you say. Although this seems to you to be a big issue, it is in fact minor, if you compare it to the waswaas experienced by other people about tahaarah. For some people may do ghusl several times, after which they are not certain that they are now in a state of purity, or they may do wudoo’ more than ten times and still not be certain that they have wudoo’. Perhaps a person catches up with the opening takbeer (of prayer) with the imam but he misses the first rak’ah because he is trying to do the opening takbeer, then he completes his prayer and does not know whether he has done it or not. Praise be to Allaah, no such thing is happening with you.

Hence your cure will be achieved in the following steps, in sha Allaah.

1 – You should understand that waswaas comes from the Shaytaan, and in fact Allaah calls the shaytaan the waswaas (the whisperer) in Soorat al-Naas, as is well known. This means that you have to declare war on the shaytaan and remember that he is the one who started it with you and that he is the one who transgressed against you and tricked you and wanted to deny you your rights, so do not turn your back to him or show him your weakness, for he is weak and defeated, and withdraw easily. So be of good cheer, and be certain that you can overcome him so long as you are with Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“… hold fast to Allaah [i.e. have confidence in Allaah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs]. He is your Mawla (Patron, Lord), what an Excellent Mawla (Patron, Lord) and what an Excellent Helper!”

[al-Hajj 22:78]

2 – You should read Soorat al-Baqarah a great deal, and complete it every three nights, and if you do that while praying qiyaam al-layl that is better. It is proven that our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Read the Qur’aan, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection interceding for its companions. Read the two bright ones, al-Baqarah and Soorat Aal ‘Imraan, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or shadows, or like two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading on behalf of their companions. Read Soorat al-Baqarah for reciting it regularly is a blessing and forsaking it is a loss, and the magicians cannot withstand it.” Narrated by Muslim (804).

The devils cannot bear to hear Soorat al-Baqarah; they flee from it and weaken before the one who recites it, and they are afraid of it. It is proven in a hadeeth that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not make your houses into graves, for the Shaytaan flees from a house in which Soorat al-Baqarah is recited.” Narrated by Muslim (780).

3 – Always recite the dhikrs for various occasions, such as the dhikrs for morning and evening, the dhikrs for going to sleep, entering the mosque or the home, entering and leaving the wash-room, dhikrs for eating, drinking and putting on clothes, and so on, for in all of them there is a great benefit for you and they will prevent the shaytaan from reaching you.

4 – Say a lot of du’aa’. Turning to your Lord with du’aa’ will bring you relief and deliver you from this trial. You should seek out for that the times when du’aa’s are likely to be answered, and allocate a time for du’aa’ every night during the last third of the night, in the last part of the day on Friday, and following the prescribed prayers. Pray for everyone who is afflicted with calamity for the angels say ameen to your du’aa’ and say “May you have likewise.” Pray a great deal for forgiveness and repent to Allaah, for Allaah has promised a great deal of good to the one who prays for forgiveness. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft‑Forgiving;

11. ‘He will send rain to you in abundance,

12. ‘And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’”

[Nooh 71:10-12]

5 – In all of that it is essential for you to do your utmost to ward off the waswaas and treat yourself by convincing yourself that you are normal and that you do not have a problem; you should ward off all thought that may weaken you. You should remember that all of this stems from one source, which is the waswaas, and overcoming it is easy, by Allaah’s Leave.

6 – Seek the help of Allaah and go ahead and get married. Seek the help of your family and sincere friends to do that. We know – personally – someone who had the same problem, whose situation was exactly the same as yours, or worse. Then some of his brothers and sincere friends forced him to get married, after they had made sure that he was not suffering from a physical problem. Then Allaah helped him and relieved his distress, and his marriage became normal like anyone else’s.

7 – There is nothing wrong with consulting a psychologist and using some psychological treatments that may help in this case, because waswaas is also a kind of mental illness that is well known to the specialists. So there is nothing wrong with combining the remedies that we have referred to above with psychological treatment.

I ask Allaah the Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to heal you, and to hasten your relief and bring you happiness, for He is All-Hearing and Ever Near.

Shahid abdullah
I will not blame you at all. May be after that incident you were questioning to Allah why me? Why not anyone else? my friend i can understand this situation. But there is a very very very good point as Allah has seen that my servent is praying to me but his heart is not pure so he wants you to be pure thats why this incident happen. i am not allah this is just assumption. You were not really in love with Allah i mean really praying for Allah so you can see it as a warning. I can understand that as i am suffering from same situation but reason is not women(Allah save me from .....).

And for the lover part all i can say why you did not read the saying of Hazrat Ali(RA). It was like this you must like women but not fall in "deep" love(ulfat) with women.

And another fact if you were that disturbed than why you only left praying and practicing Islam why you did not leave eating and drinking. :)
