The love for my faith that fills my days
Assalamu alaikum, everyone. Have you ever felt like Allah is always on your mind? For me, it’s like that-whether I’m cleaning, eating, or just going about my day, thoughts of Allah and the deen keep coming back. I know I’m far from perfect; I need to improve my salah and do more charity, but the faith is always there in my heart. Sometimes it feels heavy though, like I might be overthinking. I often reflect on death, and if I miss a prayer, it weighs on me until I make it up-and then I feel so elated that I want to share with family or friends about how Shaytan tries to lead us astray and Allah’s endless mercy. I get these bursts of strong religious emotions, even though I’m not where I want to be in my journey. It’s like my heart loves Allah so much, but my mind reminds me of my past mistakes and how my good deeds might not feel enough. Does that make sense? Any advice on how to turn these thoughts into something more positive?
