I know we’re not supposed to have male friends, but I still have a few from school and uni that I find really hard to distance myself from. Does anyone else struggle with this?
I seriously can’t wake up for fajr no matter how hard I try. I go to sleep at a decent time, I even put my phone across the room so I have to get out of bed to switch my alarm off. I thought this would help, but I just get right back into bed. I make the intention before I fall asleep to wake up and I repent before bed, but I still can’t wake up.
Every morning I wake up with so much guilt. I always make the salah up when I do wake up and I repent but I hate myself for not waking up for fajr. I seriously don’t know what’s wrong with me😭
I’m struggling a lot with music mainly on instagram. Alhamdulilah, I stopped listening to music for fun, eg in my room, while driving, working out etc about four years ago.
But I still fall into it because of social media, mainly instagram and I feel like I can’t give it up. I even deleted tiktok because music is everywhere on that app.
Instagram is my biggest challenge, especially reels. Most days during the week, I’ll just check my friends and family’s stories and then exit the app. But at least once or twice a week, I end up opening the reels page and falling into it. If someone I follow posts a story with music in the background, I’ll click on the audio and listen to the clip a few times and then I feel ashamed and full of regret.
I’ve tried to make my reels page to include more islamic
content but here and there a video with music still appears.
I try my hardest to repent but I keep slipping. I know people would say just delete instagram, but I think I have really strong fomo when it comes to the people closest to me. I only follow close family and friends and I genuinely enjoy watching their stories and posts, so that’s my biggest issue.
