This is deception from shaitan. When a person repents after living a misguided life, shaitan tricks by playing with emotions: "Don't you have sympathy for your old friends? The person, now praying and reading Qur'an, may ponder meeting old corrupt friends. But how can those friends, once partners in committing sins, be pleased with him? Human shayateen are worse than shayateen from jinn. They will lure him to visit sinful places as how they used to vist before, and at the end he will become like them Therefore, leave your old corrupt friends if they are insincere about seeking the truth. Do not show sympathy towards them; they are already drowned and want to drag you down with them

As for those who are addicted to desires or lust, claiming that this is love, there is no cure for your disease except to come out of this state of intoxication and face the reality of the person you are obsessed with. If you want to know whether this is true love or not, give yourself one month to spend in solitude and in nature. During this time, you will feel emotional pain. This is your reality. How can you emotionally depend on something temporary while leaving your Lord, who is first and last? And you will realize the true reality of that person you were obsessed with. Once you realize the reality, you will be cured.

What is true personality and how can you discover it ? Your true self is revealed when you spend time alone in solitude. If your behaviors are driven by external pressures like the fear of losing your job or responsibilities, consider how you would act if faced with the loss of everything important to you ! To strengthen your inner resolve, focus on developing self-discipline, which will support you through all challenges. External discipline, rooted in outside influences, is the weakest motivator. Take time to be alone in quiet reflection, disconnected from distractions like the internet, immersing yourself in contemplation with the Quran as your guide. This introspection will uncover your true nature, free from the illusions of online praise and recognition, helping you confront your true self. Recognizing this reality will cleanse your nafs of harmful traits like ego, paving the way for you to achieve your goals..

How can we increase emotional tolerance or resilience power?: First, we should break the addiction of coping with emotional pain in an ineffective way. For example, if your parents, family members, or friends discourage you from practicing the Deen, then people try to escape or distract themselves by taking deceptive remedies What is the deceptive remedy? 1. Scrolling through reels or shorts 2. Listening to music 3. Excessively talking with fools 4. Binge eating 5. Endlessly watching YouTube Remember, these things weaken you emotionally and lead to a lack of emotional intelligence. Even a small hardship in your life will seem like a major struggle. so before following the right methodology to treat such emotional pain common in ghurabah, we must first remove deceptive cures from our lives and make those things hard to access, because if deceptive medicine and bitter medicine both easy to access in a room then nafs will incline to take deceptive medicine to get instant "relief" We must follow the methodology of prophets to handle it; indeed, no one has a stronger resilience power than the Prophets. The reason Allah mentioned the stories of Ibrahim, Musa, etc., to the Prophet is that those stories contain lessons and serve as motivation for the Prophet to remain firm on the Haqq. This is the reason I mentioned earlier that we need to reach a level where we should perceive the comfort of warriors as our own comfort because our hardships are their comfort. Indeed, nobody has more resilience power after the Prophets than warriors. Therefore, make it a habit to listen to the Quran and ponder over it whenever you feel burnt out or distressed. Make it difficult to access those deceptive remedies; otherwise, the nafs will incline towards those things when you are sad. The nafs craves more for evils when you are going through hardship to escape from the reality, which is why Shaitan loves a sad person. The effective strategy : 1. Quran 2. Prayer mat 3. Notebook and Pen (To purify your thoughts) 4. Calling a righteous friend if you don't have then Quran is your best companion 5. Reading stories of the prophets or salaf Strive for purifying your intention because during tough times, your sincere intentions are the only thing that will truly support you and how can we purify it ? Replacing deceptive remedies with the right cure

There are two types of people who struggle with practicing patience in giving dawah: people pleasers and arrogant individuals. People pleasers often hesitate to speak out against societal evils because of fear of rejection, leading it to minor shirk in fear. For example, some may shave their beards to please their parents or colleagues. Arrogant individuals struggle to handle criticism of their dawah work, reacting aggressively out of wounded pride rather than a genuine concern for the truth. This behavior is common among corrupt scholars. Before doing dawah , it is important to address these negative traits. Self-reflection and accountability are key to overcoming these challenges, but many people fail to recognize their flaws, let alone work on improving them.

Some people believe that Oman is a good place for practicing the Deen, but the reality is that the majority of Ibadi (70% citizens) live in Oman. The Ibadhiyah sect makes takfir of major sins, believing that the Quran is created, rejecting that people of jannah will see Allah, and making it permissible to rebel against sinful rulers. Therefore, it is better to investigate and talk to people who live there before deciding to migrate. Additionally, living in a place for at least a month to get a better understanding of the situation before making decision

How can you claim that you love Allah while loving what Allah hates? If you consistently commit major sins that Allah hates, then your love is incomplete. Moreover, if these sins lead to disbelief, such as abandoning Salah, it will nullify your love for Allah { قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِي يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ } [Surah Āli-ʿImrān: 31] If you love Allah then follow me , Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

As for saying "focus on what would benefit you in your grave" instead: We know that angels will ask three questions in the grave: 1. Who is your Lord? 2. What is your Deen (religion)? 3. Who is this man who was sent among you? 🔹If a person takes a ruler as his lord (legislator), he won't be able to answer the first question correctly. Instead, he might say, "My lord is Pharaoh" ٱتَّخَذُوۤا۟ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَـٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابࣰا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِیحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡیَمَ وَمَاۤ أُمِرُوۤا۟ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُوۤا۟ إِلَـٰهࣰا وَ ٰ⁠حِدࣰاۖ لَّاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا یُشۡرِكُونَ﴿ ٣١ ﴾ They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and Messiah, son of Maryam, while they were commanded to worship none but One Ilah,La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)." At-Tawbah, Ayah 31 🔹And if he follows other adhyan or religions like democracy, nationalism, secularism, etc., he won't be able to say they follow Deen Al-Islam. وَمَن یَبۡتَغِ غَیۡرَ ٱلۡإِسۡلَـٰمِ دِینࣰا فَلَن یُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُ وَهُوَ فِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِینَ﴿ ٨٥ ﴾ And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. Āli-ʿImrān, Ayah 85 🔹Whoever claims that their prophet is Muhammad but seeks judgment from other than the Sharia of Muhammad will not be able to say that Muhammad is his prophet. فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ یُحَكِّمُوكَ فِیمَا شَجَرَ بَیۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا یَجِدُوا۟ فِیۤ أَنفُسِهِمۡ حَرَجࣰا مِّمَّا قَضَیۡتَ وَیُسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسۡلِیمࣰا﴿ ٦٥ ﴾ But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. An-Nisāʾ, Ayah 65 So, the question that person has asked is indeed part of focusing on what would benefit one in the grave. However, woe to such evil scholars who hide the truth for seeking temporary comfort in this worldly life

This is the common reply of many people when we explain them the importance of dissociating from the rulers who support the enemies against Muslims. They say, "Allah won't ask about this on the Day of Judgment." This is slandering against Allah. Indeed, the strongest bond of iman is love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah. Iman is not firmly established in a person's heart until he dissociates from tyrant rulers and their actions‏ Prophet ﷺ said : Listen, have you heard that after me there will leaders, whoever enters upon them and condones to their lies, and supports them in their oppression, then he is not from me and I am not from him, and he shall not drink with me from the Hawd. And whoever does not enter upon them, nor help them in their oppression, nor condones to their lies, then he is from me, and I am from him, and he shall drink with me at the Hawd (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2259)
