Question:
Assalamalikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatuhu, may Allah (swt) give Mawlana and his family long life. Because of excessive thinking and talking to my self about those I love; my Creator Allah (swt), my beloved leader master Muhammad and spiritual teacher Mawlana. I cannot even go out because I can’t bear to look at the non-Muslims, or watch TV because it reminds me of waswas and now eshaykh because of the horrible questions people have asked about what others have done to the ones I love as it’s ruining my joy in salah, awrad. I fear every evil word. It’s just my mind that’s troubling. I feel as if i can’t control as it is dangerous for me when sitting quiet and also when praying I fear when I want to pray with humbleness and focus like I used to. Is it because of being stuffed in the house?
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Try not to be pessimistic as this is not the way of Prophet (upon himĀ blessings and peace) or his Awliya, but rather cheerful and helpful.
Attend the group dhikr in your area assiduously and you will get better
in sha Allah.
