Striving Against Doubt: The Inner Battle with Faith and Arrogance

As-salamu alaykum, brothers and sisters. This hadith about arrogance and faith really resonates with me, especially as someone dealing with waswaasa (whisperings) that feel a lot like OCD. Sometimes, I'm left wondering where I stand-do I have that mustard seed's worth of faith or arrogance? I find myself falling into sin, asking Allah for forgiveness, yet struggling with genuine regret. The deeper I delve into Islam, the more intense these doubts can get, and I often feel like a hypocrite. I know that true repentance starts with sincerely seeking Allah's forgiveness, but that sincerity is where my struggle lies. When I pray or read the Quran, I don't always feel that spiritual connection, and it's disheartening. May Allah guide us all and strengthen our iman. Alhamdulillah for this journey, even with its challenges.
