I need help with my life

Young woman looking thoughtful, pensive

Assalamualaikum dear brothers and sisters.

I am currently writing to you on this blog because I just can't understand anything in my life anymore. I feel so lost. I am 18, in my last year of high school, and currently sitting for my A level exams. I constantly feel like my life's a wreck. In fact, I just broke up with my boyfriend after two years of relationship.We both realized things were going too far and we'd probably end up doing zina if we continued. So we broke up.

I feel empty now and I don't wanna study. I just don't feel like doing anything, though I know I have to since it's my last chance of having a good life. Before being with him, I was super happy and viewed as someone perfectly normal by my friends. Now I've lost all of them mainly because of his jealousy, and the fact that he told me fake things about them for me to stay away. I also lied to my friends so many times.

  1. Things would have been worse if you had committed sexual interciourse (Zina) with him. Think about getting some good education and a good job. Don't tell lies. You can do any thing you want.

  2. Try to keep yourself busy. Make a list of things that you love doing. Create a daily plan and keep your self busy as much as possible.Time heals everything.

  3. Sister,

    You made a wise decision to end things with your boyfriend. What you need to do is refocus on what is important in your life and think long term. I cannot say it loud enough...education, education, education. Study hard for your A levels. What is it that you want to do with your life? How is it that you want to help shape the world you live in?

    Some day God willing, you will have a family. You will have a husband to adore you and children who will look up to you for guidance. Work hard to be the best that you can be. Allah has given you the power to overcome any obstacles in your path, you just need to believe in him and trust in yourself.

    Make repentance to Allah for your past transgressions and commit yourself to staying true to your deen. Know that you are truly blessed for it is Allah who has saved you from committing zina. Good luck on your exams!

    Salam

  4. only Allaahu 'Azzawaj'al knows what true and whats false ,,,,,cant belive things of stories saying these things happening witrh Muslims

  5. Assalamu alaikum. I am asking you for answers.

  6. Your life doesn't sound like a wreck, it sounds more like you have lost your motivation to do the normal things that you do in life, which, I guess, is normal when people break up with someone they care about.

    I think the first step for you is to brush yourself up and make a list of things in your life you want to get back to normal. And then think carefully about what you can do to achieve your goals. A thing you could put right is the relationships to your friends. I think it would benefit you a lot to try to make mends with them, but it will definitely require some effort on your part, to gain their trust and loyalty again. A couple of years ago I reached a point in my life where I decided that some of my oldest friends weren't right for me, because I judged them on small things that had happened over the years and, accumulated, I was bothered by them. I put my friends to an impossible standard where they practically needed to be perfect before I felt like I could be happy with them in my life. It's not exactly the same scenario as your's, but my point is...when I finally regretted I had cut them out of my life - because I realized NO ONE is perfect, but people who have remained in your life for so many years are important to hold on to - I was very surprised to learn how forgiving and understanding my friends were when I got back in touch with them and apologized to them. And to this day, none of them even hold a grudge towards me. I'm sure your friends would be happy to hear from you again, and I think it's worth a try to apologize to them and be honest about the fact you haven't been yourself.

    Also, I would suggest you speak to a counsellor at your school. You can tell her or him that you lack motivation to do well in school, I'm sure the counsellors are experienced with such students and know exactly how to guide you and help you.

    I basically think it's important you move your focus away from all the negativity to the things you can make right and so positively. Life is short, and it's a shame to let so much of it slip because of bad people. They exist everywhere, but YOU have the power and control of YOU, so YOU choose who to let in and out of your life, mind and sight.

    • Nightof Sin: Are you trying to say you were forced to have sex by a girl? If you did it of your own free will, repent and marry that girl. Did your friend also have sex with her? You can tell your parents also.

    • Sister, you simply have to experience the emotional suffering until it passes. You can try to distract yourself by having some hobbies, spending time with female friends, participating in Islamic activities, etc. This is why there is no such thing as men and women being "best friends". Men and women do not develop close friendships in Islam for exactly this reason.

      He does not love you, so why he wants to talk to you? You are lucky you did not get involved physically. The guy you met, may already be married.

      Finish your graduation. You seem to be depressed.

  9. Jazakallahhh khair bro! as a weak human I dont not hv control on my thoughts nd heart. I still feel him. I want to ask u tht can I pray to get him in my life in halal way? ?? or its wrong to pray? because I read in Sural al isra Ayat 18- 19

    18. Whoever wishes for the quick-
    passing (transitory enjoyment of
    this world), We readily grant him
    what We will for whom We like.
    Then, afterwards, We have
    appointed for him Hell, he will
    burn therein disgraced and
    rejected, ( far away from Allah's
    Mercy).
    19. And whoever desires the
    Hereafter and strives for it, with
    the necessary effort due for it (i.e.
    do righteous deeds of Allah's
    Obedience) while he is a believer
    (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic
    Monotheism), then such are the
    ones whose striving shall be
    appreciated, thanked and
    rewarded (by Allah).

    please tell me tht my desire to get him is right or wrong in Allah 's sight.??
    should i pray or not.?
