Hmm. So you dont believe the West has been a catalyst for war in Islamic nations?

Reading the history of wars in most Islamic countries, they didnt decide to start wars for no reason. The wars usually started as a retaliation. Nonetheless, because those people are muslims doesnt mean they're perfect muslims. It's normal for humans to retaliate under attack and the Quran doesnt go against that.

There are plenty of examples where the West has incited war between two Muslim countries and the general public ( the citizens) are completely innocent in the decision to get involved. Those are the ones who pray everyday and would help their Muslim brothers.

And also don't be depressed when you have sinned to the point you feel Allah may not forgive you, remember Allah is always ready to forgive you no matter the sin.
Also do not hang around with toxic people, unless you know you are strong enough that they can't influence you. And also being a Muslim doesn't prevent some people from being stupid, I have met several Muslims in my life that I feel like spitting on, they are deep in Islam but they make you feel like Hell is your abode and look down on others because they feel they are better than them in the sight of Allah. Just ignore them please because they will only make you hate yourself and feel like you Re shytan. No one is above mistake or sin

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to render me some advice. May Allah bless you abundantly.

It's not like I dont know what you're saying, I do. In theory, I know what to do but practicing is so hard. Even daily prayers are becoming such a chore for me and I'm so dissapointed in myself. God is so so so good to me and I feel like such a disappointment that I'm not able to fulfil my part as a Muslim.

I'd like to think I'm knowledgeable in my deen but honestly practicing is sooo difficult for me. I have pretty bad OCD and Anxiety so I don't have much friends and I dont exactly live in a society that breeds the most pious of muslims. Because of my OCD I listen to the Quran every night but only surahs I understand. It motivates me that night but then life just happens and I'm not practicing anymore...

ModestGal:

You don't have any Muslim around you ko?

No not really. Especially not Nigerian muslims.

Do any of you struggle with your faith? How do you keep up your faith when life gets in the way? Does anyone have any advice holding steadfast to Islam when life gets busy?

Thank you.
