Divine Signs of Protection
Assalamu alaikum, I asked AI to help me write this better, but the feelings are all mine. Something happened lately that made me really think about how Allah shows mercy and protects us. For a while, I’ve been making dua to stay away from any haram relationships and keep my iman steady. But the other day, in a moment of weakness, I reached out to someone I’d met before, looking for closeness. I went as far as booking time and paying a 25% deposit. Then, out of nowhere, a bunch of things went wrong all at once: - My WhatsApp suddenly got flagged for review, so I couldn’t message her at all. - An unexpected emergency came up right when we were supposed to meet. - Later, when I tried getting a new SIM to contact her, the OTP for WhatsApp just wouldn’t work. Looking back, I see these weren’t just bad luck. They were Allah putting walls between me and something that would’ve gone against my own prayers and iman. I messed up by even considering it, but honestly, I was just lonely and craving some comfort. I’m a guy in my late 20s. I’m not innocent, not a virgin, and I’ve fallen into zina before. Sometimes I end up at those massage spots where things happen that shouldn’t. Now I’m seriously looking for a spouse, but nothing’s worked out with anyone I’ve met. I feel like such a munafiq. I just want some advice or anything that can help me get back on track.
