Signs from Allah After a Painful Experience
Astaghfirullah, I was in a haram relationship before. I started praying istikhara, and Allah showed me so many red flags about the man I was speaking to. Once I began praying again, he suddenly changed and ended things with me. Alhamdulillah, I feel protected because it was only a month and a half, even though we were deeply attached and things felt so natural. It still hurt because he told me he’d been cheated on, and then he kept mentioning my "friend" who had also been cheated on. I think he left me for her. That "friend" was messaging him on IG-she’s not really a friend. I was shocked and in pain, but then at the gym, a girl just started talking to me. She went through something similar-she loved a man, found out he was cheating, and it was a short two-month situation. She's Christian, but she believes in God, and I'm Muslim, of course believing in Allah SWT. We both felt Allah protected us early. I'm so grateful to have her; it was like a miracle easing my hardship. Another thing happened: we were having food, and when I went to the counter, a thought crossed my mind that this "friend" gave me the evil eye. Wallahi, I went back and told my friend, and she was freaked because at that exact time she had posted about her ex giving her evil eye. I've seen so many signs from Allah.
