Request:
asalaamu alaikum
Over the last few years I have had some big changes in my life. Unfortunately this included changes in the structure of my friends too, leaving me closer to those who are not practicing. I have noticed many bad patterns developing in myself which I know I never had before eg. being negative about almost everyone around me.
I am aware of it and it makes me feel sick that I do this. Please pray that inshallah I am able to better myself with your help. thank you

Don’t cut from the Mercy of Allah. “O you who believe, fear Allah and be with the Sadiqin – Truthful Ones”. Spend time focused on the heart of the Shaykh and his presence and ask Allah for good friends.
wa’Allahu a`lam.
