Bismillah Ir-Rehman Ir-Raheem

Assalam-Alaikum:

May Allah guide you, me, and all of us to the Straight Path and our hearts shine with iman.

The one who asked is better than the one answering.

This is based on my own experience and

, this advice is relevant to me first before anyone else:

1. Zikr in adundance.

If the person does not feel like doing zikr, the person should recite Surah Nas and Surah Falaq until the heaviness of doing zikr goes away.

2. Salawat in abundance.

3. Praying the prayers on time.

Know that Allah knows the interests of His servants better than themselves. This is why sometimes a believing servant might do his best to polish his heart, but Allah does not let him feel the effects of the polishing. It is not due to disfavor of Allah but a favor of Allah upon the servant: In this state, a believing servant strives harder for Allah. Conversely, if the believing servant did not feel sad about the state of his heart or did not get angry at his own blameworthy self for his condition, he would be overwhelmed by self-admiration leading to his self-ruination: That person might feel superior to Allah's other servants or have the impression of being a good worshipper when in reality he has distanced himself from Allah by his ego. Success is from Allah, not ever from ourselves.

The one who asked is better than the one answering.

And Allah and His Prophet

know best.

If I have said anything that is good and true, it is from Allah, and anything other than that is my own mistake.
