Back when I used to post Islamic stuff and preach the stuff at home, I was really being selfish. It looked good and I felt I was trying to get everyone to become more religious. Fast forward 10 years and I understand the perspectives of others. Its really difficult to find external motivation to be a good muslim.
It's only in times of hardship that we really connect with Allah. It's unfortunate and it should not be like this but really the khushoo we have in our duas when we badly need his help is not found in times of peace and happiness.
Also, I've realized that the company really matters. You don't need someone to constantly throw hadith and ayats at you. You just need someone that understands your state and just gently guides you when you fall behind.
To whoever reading this and is at low state of Iman. I understand what you are going through and its okay if you are not in the best headspace as a muslim but know that having this feeling and realization of having low iman, is a sign that you've Iman.
May Allah ease it for all of us.
Need this reminder again and again.
btw everyone who has survived the Tumblr Muslim era and are still active here. AssalamuAlaikum and Hows life?
