JazakAllah Khair.1
I feel exactly the same now.
I feel sad about the facth that I was here 2 or so months ago feeling the same way. And then I made a “commitment” to change and “performed tawba” but I really did not change at all.
I simply pretended to try be a good Muslim while making insincere and fake dua and like you said, it kills me on the inside.
It is not Allah that I despair in, it is myself that I despair in, that I will ever change or ever even make an honest effort to change.
I really do not think I can ever get out of this cycle of depression (now), “tawbah”, then trying to be good Muslim and then goong back to stage 1 (now).
Until death overtakes me and I will just regret and bite my arms off for not changing.

Your article is really beautiful and may Allah reward you infinitely for it.

Me, I just dont think that I can ever actually do what you said.

Yes been feeling similarly to a degree these last few months. Jazak’Allahu Khairan for the reminder. Insha’Allah all of us feeling this way can get back to what we know we are capable of in regards to our Imaan.

Jazakallah for the article. I think you touched upon something really important here, especially when you mentioned regurgitation of information without understanding them or thinking about them.

Abu Sulayman ad-Darani said “I certainly recite a verse [of the Qur’an] and then remain with it thinking for four or five nights. Unless I cut off my thinking on it I do not pass on to another verse.”

And sA, many of us myself included barely manage 4 or 5 minutes on a single verse! Just wanted to share that as this highlights the importance of actually pondering over something like an ayah or Hadith in order to be able to extract all its sweetness and reap full benefits iA. Like you said, we are cheating no one but ourselves. And if we do not take all the benefits from the gifts Allah (swt) has bestowed upon us, such as His divine speech, and integrating them into our actions, then we become the perpetrator towards ourselves.

May Allah (swt) grant us the ability to reflect on His signs, fill our hearts with Him and return to Him with sincerity.
