Request:
As-salam-alaikum ya Sayadi,
I’m depressed because I misbehaved with teacher…I was impressed by his character and misbehaved with my parents from that day my heart is so heavy when I offer prayer and I’m becoming weak spiritually. Day by day my interest in namaz becomes less and feel I that I’m losing my iman. Please pray for me.

Wa alaikum Salaam,
Know that despairing of Allah’s mercy is forbidden. Use the feeling of guilt to correct your behavior and relationship with your parents. Instead of letting guilt drown you move forward with good action that waives the bad with confidence in Allah’s mercy.
Wallahu Alam,
Kamau Ayubbi
