Assalamualaikum,
There are times when things get a little frustrating ok fine REALLY frustrating but have no fear Allah is always by our side :) some people face hardship everyday, some face it once in a while regardless of how many times they face this....what i'm talking about here now is struggling with ourselves; trying not to surrender to our ego & desires, constantly boosting our imaan. there are days when our imaan are high, there are days when our imaan are low. there are times we wonder why our du'a is not answered, there are times you feel doubtful and confuse, there are times when you feel lonely, there are times you feel you're displeasing Allah and you feel as if you have hit rock bottom but despite all this true believers are content with themselves, that's the beauty of Islam. Islam is a way of life..the true way of life, one way or another we return to Allah, we make du'as...we asked for guidance, protection, strength & patience, well that's what i normally ask for.
During the time of hardship is when you need to hang on to your imaan tightly, never lose hope in Allah. Allah is the All-knowing, Allah listens to our prayers. if we keep knocking on Allah's door one day we will be let in :) so have patience, pray to Allah to make this worldly life easy for you. trust Allah, if you give up something for Allah, Allah will give you something better. Always remember that. :)
I might not know everything about Islam, but I am trying, I fail at times...but we just gotta keep walking and return to Allah, our creator. May Allah guide as all to the right path and save us from hell fire. Amin.
Lots of love,
LMH
