Bismillahi Rahmanir Raheem (In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)
As salamu alaykum Sister
At the very outset, I ask Allah Subhanahu wa Taala to guide you in the path of Righteousness and May He help you in each and every step of your life. Whoever Allah Subhanahu wa Taala guides, none can misguide; whoever He leaves astray, none can guide. Always start by taking the name of Allah Subhanahu wa Taala: Bismillahi Rahmanir Raheem. So please don't be confused about that from now on.
Masha Allah, the brothers and sisters are out here to help you. I suggest that you start reading the stories in the Quran and the lives of our Prophets and Messengers, one after another. The stories are meant to give us lessons as to our purpose in this world, the trials which we might face being a Muslim and how we can achieve success in this world and in the hereafter. If you have read enough, you should know by now, that all the Prophets and Messengers came to spread the message, that the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, is One.
Please remember that the road to Jannah is not an easy one. As we study hard, put in a lot of extra hard work and efforts to get an A+ in an exam; likewise if we want to achieve success in this world and in the hereafter, we need to put in hard work. I am not trying to scare or discourage you by saying that. What I am trying to tell is, be patient and work hard. The world is nothing but a place to test our heart, mind and soul; a kind of lab.
Another important thing is to keep in touch with pious muslim sisters, most of the time if not all the time. Companions are like assets for us. The better the companion, the better we tend to be. Sometimes we try to strive hard, in order to be better than our companion. Increase the level of challenge everyday. Remember that as muslims, we should try to be better than the best.
Above all, please forgive and forget. If somebody does bad to you, do good in return. Allah Subhanahu wa Taala will judge the scales on the Day of Judgement.
Walaykum as salam !!!
