Navigating doubts in my faith journey
Salam everyone, I'm writing this with the hope of not being judged. As a sister who wears hijab, I've been going through a period of questioning for about seven months now. Sometimes I find myself feeling unsure about my beliefs. I've tried talking to some family members-one got upset, and another tried to help but I still have unresolved questions about certain aspects of our faith. I feel really disappointed in myself because I used to love Islam so much, but now I'm struggling, especially with wearing hijab since I'm the only one at my school who does. It's difficult to represent something when I'm still figuring out what it means to me. My doubts started with hijab-I worry someone might ask me about Islam, and how do I explain things I'm still learning? Sometimes I look at others and wonder how they seem so carefree, but I know my journey is different. The hardest part is that I feel distant in my prayers and iman, and I'm trying so hard to reconnect. I don’t want to lose hope in Allah’s mercy, even when things feel low. I'd really appreciate talking to someone who can help guide me through these thoughts. JazakAllah Khair for understanding.
