Jazaki Allah khair sis, u really made me have a hope, I do consider my learning now as a big project in my life that is attached to some other projects.
I am a sis btw :)
1) This is not the right time for you to be engaging yourself in these matters (giving dawah). Sometimes, for reasons Allah knows best, things don't go the way we want, because there might be more harm in it for us than good. (Just like my 'projects' are just beginning to take off now.) :)
I thought of that before few months since I was busy with studies and such so I thought that this feeling may be due to me not being concentrating in one thing, but since I graduated now, I keep drawing many plans for my way in life and I really made a very good progress in learning Alhumdulilah but that fear is still there. The more deep I go in certain topic the more fear I get subhanAllah
2) You may have been afflicted with the evil eye. Your abilities may have caused envy in someone's heart? Of course there is no way to prove it, but it seems a likely cause for your situation.
Maybe thats true, to be honest with u, I dont like to talk about my interests to anyone, the dawah here is kinda of something not been interested in by people, some people here got surprised if they know about it, thats why I try to keep my affairs and interests to myself!!!
If I may answer the question.. There is no reason to stop learning the deen and doing so will not achieve anything. This is fardh upon us all. InshaAllah, you will defend the deen bro and bi idhnillah, many will revert from what they hear from your mouth, but while you await progress, utilise this time to increase salah, repentance and duaa and seek advice from knowledgable people who will be able to understand your situation far better and thus advise you much more effeciently than we can. I will pray for you inshaAllah. :statisfie
Exactly!! this is what I think as well, I dont think that I should stop learning about my deen
Ameen to ur duaa sis, jazaki Allah khair

We all are very ignorant. It is just that as we learn we do not necessarily become smarter until we understand we are not smarter then anybody, only slightly less ignorant in some subjects.
This is the exact thing I feel now subhanAllah, you explained it very perfectly Uncle Woodrow!
It is good to have fear that we may be in error,but we need to make Du'a for the strength to overcome this fear as it is vital for us to speak what we have found to be true and become willing to speak even in the face of ridicule or persecution.
I always have the fear of making mistakes when talking about my deen that may lead someone away from Islam. That is my main concern. InshaAllah I will keep making duaa that Allah will grant me strength and confidence to be a good image of my deen
Jazakum Allah khair everyone, your advices were very much appreciated, plz keep me in your duaa inshaAllah :)
