Question:
Salam,
My question is a personal one, I need help with finding faith.
I pray five times a day, but I don’t feel a connection to Allah (SWT), I have so many Shaytanic thoughts daily, more than peaceful ones. I’m an ungrateful person and I know that; but I hate all these things about me. I live with all these negative qualities, which I do not know how to get rid of. Please advise me how to go about my daily life, without forgetting Allah, how do I connect with Allah, how do I become patient? How do I find faith?
Thank you
Answer:
Wa`alaykumussalam,
Rumi said he found God in his heart. It means, in love and faith there is no separation. Touch your heart and call out His Name…Allah! Ask Allah Almighty to fill your heart with true faith and dress it with His Love. The one who has Allah in his heart shall be a vessel of His Love. The rest shall fall in their places.
