My Faith Is Not Strong, Yet I Don’t Want to Lose Hope

08 April, 2024
Q My question is that I am sinful and I know that after Allah guides a person, He will test them or if He loves some will be test. For me the day he is testing me and go through challenge I fail keep sinning and not lowering my gaze. In my heart I do feel anything and my imaan is not strong and now give up and lost hope is my way. I don’t want that to happen, what should I do?

Answer

You are in your mid-teens, and it is the time of huge changes in your body. Normal hormonal changes affect not only your look but also your emotions and sexual drive.

You start noticing the opposite gender, yet you feel guilty, as you know that is not what Muslims should do.

You want to please Allah and try your best, and this is what matters. Just keep your hope and faith, and know that He sees you and knows what is in your heart.

How can you combat this challenge?
