hi, i really wanna thank you in advance for writing this four years back. i was really down and burying myself in guilt lately, and i just reached the peak today that i cant help but bawled my eyes out for crying. i find it really hard for me to actually forgive myself for things ive messed up in the past. i finally spilled it out to some of my closest ones and come down to pray, and maybe its just the way of Allah answer my prayers, i found your post and it strike through me. so thank you, thank you so much, this means a lot for me. i wish a happy and barakah life ahead, aamiin aamiin aamiin.
barakallah

JazakAllah khair for such a hope-inspiring article… I still have an issue though, that I believe is preventing me from moving forward… I happen to have some oppressive immediate (blood) relatives, who’re more affluent than my family (my parents are divorced and my mother n I live alone), but who’ve suffered some tragedies and so they want me to leave my job, my friends, my life… and go serve them like a slave (I know it may sound strange, but they’ve become very embittered by the trials that have befallen them)… I was gearing myself up for giving everything up and going to live with them… but another aunt, who knows about their selfish ways, tried to stop me and told me that what they’re doing to me was unfair… but in my mind, I had been thinking that since I’ve been so irresponsible in my past… I won’t amount to anything good anyway… so maybe I just deserve to be kicked around by my narcissistic/ oppressive relatives for the rest of my life…

I would be grateful to the author for a personal reply regarding my predicament via email… if possible!

Thanks and JAK

Asalaam Alaikum sister Lily,
I am also guilt ridden, so much so that I cant forgive myself. I have let down my parents who trusted me blindly. And whenever I want to start afresh, something comes in between, and I land up to the same place where I started. I asked Allah for Tawbah and Hidayah multiple of times, to the point that I haven’t EVER asked anything except that to Allah as seriously. But I fail every time. And now I am kind of losing hope and confidence in my own self that I would ever change for real. I read many articles and stories of people reforming miraculously but I certainly don’t think that would be the case for me anytime in real.

Bismillahir Rehmaanir Raheem

Assalamu Alaikum

I have heard that in Islam if you have hurt someone or done something wrong to anyone, Allah will forgive you only, if the person you’ve done wrong to, forgives you.

What if you know if i seek his or her apology by informing truth& it will be more big mess or fitna ?
