Im so lost... losing Islam?

I think this is a common feeling during the teenage years. Muslim or not you may feel like you hate certain things about yourself because you feel self-conscious. But know dear that Allah swt tests every soul. He does not hate you. How can the creator hate his creation? He loves you more than you know and he gives you endless chances to come to him and seek guidance or forgiveness. You may feel these feelings you are having are negative, but know they have a silver lining. And that is the fact that you feel bad means you care. It means you are a better Muslim than you think, believe me. Because there are many people who commit worse sins and never give it a second thought. Do not feel you have to be 100% perfect or else all is lost. That is a standard no one can achieve. I am sure this change did not happen over night, it was most likely gradual. So take some gradual steps in the other direction. When you go to sleep at night, make a du'a before you close your eyes. Keep good company with people who will encourage and support you. Keep a Quran on your night stand and read from it before you sleep. Know that every step you take towards Allah, Allah will make the next step easier for you. The prayer as you know is so very important. Even if you pray late its better to still do it. Take your time with it, don't just rush through the motions. Inshalah Allah swt will accept your efforts. Inshallah you will feel better about yourself and it will make it easier for you to come back to practicing Islam more and more. Take care dear.

I know how you feel sister. Sometimes, I feel like that too. And just by thinking like that, you can become a better muslim. Just by thinking and worrying about yourself is making you a better muslim (I know it sounds wrong, but you get the point). You should go to friday prayers and listen to the khutba. Maybe it will clean your heart. Read some Quran. Even if you don't know what it means, it still brings good feelings. You know what I do? I right down all the bad things that I've been doing and I look over them. And it makes me feel bad and it makes me want to do better. It helps. At least it helps me. Also, you can share the things you wrote with your mom or a muslim friend (even though it's hard to show them!) and you can talk to them. Sister, I hope you feel better and I really do hope Allah guides you to the right path. I'll make dua for you.

Asalamu alaikum.

True Islam can be discovered only through a combined study of the Qur’an and the Ahlul Bayt.

everybody has days where they just feel down

everybody makes mistakes.

u just have to believe that ur gonna make changes, make a decision n stick to it. u'll feel proud of urself when u accomplish such things.

take it at a step at a time

always think positive and learn from the people around u

u say u have good friends, ask them for encouragement, im sur they want ur happiness

everybody has flaws, but its up to them to handle it n change it

be optimistic n smile =)

Sounds like ur really down. Maybe talk to a therapist. Best thing to do right now though is do wuzu, put on a scarf, and do a nice, long dua to Allah swt. Nothin could help u more. :)

How is track haram?!

sister. start with wearing a hijab and doing good in school. but not like extar creedit. i have been appecited to styversent and i have not done nothing but get a 98.82 as a grade point aavgera

Suicide is never good. Its a major sin. Just imagine if you go to hell, people killing yourself will get rid of your pain but you learn you just will suffer more.

Inshallah I hope you get better sister.

I'll pray for you

sister, just pray!!!! it's hard, but do it constantly for 20 days and then hopefully you'll see that it becomes a habit and becomes easy.

and if u miss a prayer, when you come home, read kazaa.

the importance of this life compared to the next is like a droplet to the ocean... think of all the people who lived before you and had happy succesful lives, in the end, we all have to die and face God.

the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath.

the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Allah the Almighty said:

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it.

just prey to Allah and he shall help

stop thinking sucide do something other than Track, drama, talent show and do something that would get your mind into islam and studying

Salam

Do what your heart wants; believe in yourself habiba ill pray for you. That god will forgive you for your sins and mine.
