i dont know whats wrong with me, first of all, i have been living in the U.S. for about 13 years now, i came here when i was about 4-5 years old, my mom always encouraged me to read Quran and Salah, i never listened, recently I have been thinking about death and whats going to happen afterwards, and I started rereading the Quran in arabic and in english to get the meaning, I began praying 5 times a day, and then all of a sudden i just strayed away and focused on meaningless things again and stopped praying, this is happened a few times, its not dat I dont believe or anything, I just need sum advice on how to get on to the right path and stay there. any advice would be helpful, and please no cheap shots.
Re: Straying from the Right Path
MashAllah, thats good to hear.
Only a concerned muslim would realize hez straying away.
Brother, I recommend that whenever you do things that are straying you away, always remember about *death, Allah watching, the evil around you, society around you. *
And when you realize all that, you will return to the state u were at :)
inshAllah!
And Always ask Allah swt to guide you.
Re: Straying from the Right Path
You should listen to the scholars like Hamza Yusuf Hanson from i think California........
Re: Straying from the Right Path
I have noticed that when I am with people who pray five times a day(like some of my friends and my parents and brothers) I pray too. If its possible, try to be friends with people who are better muslims than you.
Re: Straying from the Right Path
Excellent thread.
Alot of us might have experienced this and its good to share ideas to make us a better Muslim.
Re: Straying from the Right Path
check out the mosques in your area…grab a friend and start hanging out @ the mosque. the environment totally influences ur psychological attempts at ‘trying’ to be more faithful.
