Lost and losing faith

This is my last year of high school. My mother prefers my brothers over me, which is odd because I’ve always been there for her, and comfort her and almost never disobeyed her. Yet my brothers do worse. I don’t have a relationship with my family. I feel alone, all the time. Yes I pray, fast, etc yet I feel empty. I used to feel full of faith, but now I feel nothing and it breaks my heart because I love Allah and I want him to love me.

Does piety count at all?

Alhamdulilah, I’ve abstained from drinking, smoking and casual dating, and have in fact always lived a pious life, but it seems to me that piety just doesn’t count at all. People look down on you, and there are high demands and expectations that sisters have. I mean in all that, where would pious men of limited means go? What will they do if sisters have so high standards and aren’t ready to compromise at all?

A friend with no faith.

I cannot bear to see this person going down the wrong path. Nothing I say helps. I have even told this friend that I cannot be their friend anymore if they continue like this, but as much as this person does not want to lose me they are still not willing to give up the haram. This person does not care that they are pleasing the devil and not pleasing God.

I need a door opened to me.

Allah Almighty has always helped me in circumtances of all sorts. I won’t say He didn’t do good to me or anything like that. He is my Malik, He has a right to do whatever with my life. But as my exams have gone I didn’t get admissions anywhere. All my collegues got admissions and are happy and excited, but when I see this and my own condition I feel hurt deep inside of my heart.

I feel my heart is black, that I am close to apostasy

I feel that my heart is black and that I am a munafiq or a kafir. I stopped praying a long time ago. I don’t want to feel empty and at war with myself any more.

I don’t want to marry him… Now he won’t leave me alone.

Many times I told him I don’t love him and can’t marry him. I want to marry a guy with strong faith… this boy wants to be a rich person with a modern lifestyle.

Scared of having no faith in Allah

Does true faith just come effortlessly, or are there certain things I should do to achieve it? I wish I have just a little bit of it in my heart.

A Muslim who does not believe in Allah

Recently one of our family friends introduced her to this person, and the guy started talking to her on phone or chat, he seemed a very nice guy; respectful, humble and all the good traits, but after a couple of weeks he told her that even though his family is Muslim and he is also, he doesn’t believe in Allah SWT.

Having very sinful thoughts about Allah

I am a practising Muslim married lady. Recently I have started getting these thoughts about Allah wuthalla which are really bothering me.

Communicating with non mahram, to guide him in iman

I feel like guiding him to the straight path just like a sister. When he missed his prayers he felt strongly dissatisfied, but he is not realizing the cause of this dissatisfaction. I believe once his imaan is strong, he can guide his wife and children the same way and he would not even feel the need to chat with me.
