Assalamualaikum - Help Me Return to Allah
Assalamualaikum sisters, I’m a female student and teacher, and lately I’ve let myself get completely caught up in the dunya. I’ve also allowed my heart to wander and fallen for a man who isn’t certain about his feelings, yet gives me just enough attention to keep me attached and unsure what to do. Now I see how heavy all this has become. These distractions have pulled me away from Allah and the Deen. I want to sincerely repent and find my way back to my Lord. Can you sisters please share practical tips, short duas, reminders, or beginner-friendly routines that helped you reconnect? Simple things I can do daily at home or between classes would be especially helpful - like short adhkar, books or lectures that aren’t too long, ways to lower my attachment to someone who may not be right for me, or steps to make sincere tawbah and stick to it. I miss the person I used to be who knew many du’as, had memorized hadiths, and loved learning the Seerah. Now it feels like it’s slipping away and I’m afraid my heart might harden. I don’t want to be among those who go astray. Please make dua for me and share any advice you can. JazakAllah khair.
