Breaking Free from a Haram Relationship
Assalamualaikum, just want to share my story so maybe others can relate. So early July, I finally got out of an on-and-off haram relationship that lasted a year and a half. I won’t go into the bad stuff we did-that’s between us and Allah. But honestly, those months were so exhausting, always stressed, anxious, and upset. Even when I was happy with him, I couldn’t shake the religious guilt. It was stealing my noor and barakah, and pulling me away from Allah. Now, after so many breakups and makeups, it’s really over. He blocked me everywhere and did things that hurt. I don’t know everything he does online, but Alhamdulillah, I deleted all the apps that mess with my healing and deen. I started listening to Quran, praying tahajjud, and keeping salah on time. Sometimes I miss him, but then I just play Quran recitations on Spotify lol. I finally get that you can’t find peace in what Allah forbids. Alhamdulillah for this new chance. So inshaAllah, I’m sticking to my decision to heal, focus on studies and blessings, so if Allah grants me a halal marriage one day, I’ll be ready for my naseeb. Any advice is really welcome. Edit: Right now I’m listening to Surah Yusuf because he reached out to apologize, but the talk ended badly. I fought the urge to message him again-Alhamdulillah. So we didn’t end on good terms, but I trust Allah’s plan.
