Salam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu

I still have the problem that I can not notice when my period ends.

Almost always i don't have to because my period (red to yellow) stays the full 10 days. So it ends by the hanafi rule.

But sometimes it ends a little bit early and i dont know what to do. I know about the thing with the piece of cotton. The piece of cotton is almost white. There is only a faint of yellow glimmer.

I didn't take a look in my cycles if the yellow glimmer stays all the time.

But I think the mucus will never be really 100% white.

Tomorrow will the period end by the rule but I don't know what to do.

Should I wait till tomorrow or should I take ghusl and start praying?

As-salamu alaykum,

I converted to Islam 1½ years ago. I don't come from a religious family. Just so you know.

I have a problem and I hope I can find some help here.

I'm always "astonished" when I read about other Muslims who say that their first thought when they do something is always, "I do it out of love for Allah."

I somehow miss the feeling by myself.

For example: I pray because the Quran prescribes that I should pray five times a day. I dress modestly (without hijab but inshallah) because the Quran prescribes it and out of respect for my husband.

I do good deeds because Allah prescribes that we should do them and I want to do good things to other people, but I always miss that my first thought is, "I do it out of love for Allah."

Please don't misunderstand me, and I hope you understand what I mean.

I believe in Allah, in His Prophet Muhammad, and in destiny through Allah.

I also fast during Ramadan, but my reason is always, "It's written in the Quran."

What about you? Am I missing something? Do i need time to get this feeling? Is there anything I can do to change my mind?

Please don't judge me. I already feel bad just writing this.

I hope you can help me.
