Patience... Sabr..

Re: Patience... Sabr..

PhatBalongri, we are all praying for you here. Also, try to solace yourself with the fact that there are ppl out there who are (maybe) going through worse. My mom always tells me to look beneath me everytime I am stressed out.

I am also going thru a tough patch in life right now. I used to be very very regular with my salah before I got married, but after married life (alhamdulillah I was very happy), I started getting lax. I just lost that connection with Allah SWT b/c I often had no time to be home or just take note of the fact that I'd missed my salah. And I clearly remember that this one fine day I said to Allah to not give me so much peace in life that I forget HIM.

Like everyone's told you, if Allah puts you to it, he will pull you through it, and every little pain is a way of washing away your sins. Be strong, and I don't think there is any bigger solace to the heart that praying to Allah. Keep your iman strong, Allah is just testing you. And ask Allah to give you sabar, and to give peace to your heart. Nothing is better than just reading the Quran... I personally find that brings peace to me, as opposed to just fixing a few surahs with every salah. I also sometimes read Durood e Muqaddas (you would prolly have access to it in a pansuurah). I find that also brings a lot of peace to my heart and I usually read it after I've read the Quran for a bit. Just keep you faith strong. I will remember you in my prayers :)
