I have a problem, I wanna be a really good muslims bc without Allah I'm a failure and I don't wanna go to hell but the thing is my intentions are not right. I'm supposed to change to please Allah but is like I'm doing just for myself. Also, I'm so unmotivated to become who I wanna be and there's this person that occupies my thoughts and makes me feel depressed as I won't ever have him :(
Assalamu Alaikum,
We are all in need of Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala. Sinceritywill come with time and ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala to give us sincerity inour prayers and any good act that we do should be only to please Him in shaaAllah. If something is meant for youthen you will eventually get in halal way. Always remember Allah plans arebetter than our wishes. Make lots of dua and while asking Allah Subhanahu waTa’ala always say “if it’s good for me” because we don’t know what’s good forus only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala knows. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala loves usmore than our mother so His decisions are always for our own good and we haveto trust Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
“Butperhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thingand it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.” (Quran 2:216)
Always remember this:
“No amount of guilt canchange the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy onyourself for the outcome of all affairs is determined by the decree of Allah.If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come on your way, but ifit is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee.”Umar ibnal Khattab (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu)
I hope it will be helpful. May Allah guide us to thestraight path.
Ameen
