I just realized something. I'm seeing a counselor who is a Christian chaplain. I've been telling him how low I feel about myself for not being able to achieve anything in life. My parents are upset on me because I have not lived up to their expectations. My family make me feel sorry for myself. shame on me, how ungrateful am I to Allah? He is giving me strength and support and Im doing things which I never imagined that I was capable of doing. He is helping me to achieve my goals. I may be a failure to my family, to dunya but I know I am a winner in the sight of Allah. and I worry about what people expects of me? what they think of me? Shame on me. I should only worry about what Allah think of me.
Another reason I feel so ashamed of myself is that I dont know how to give dawah because I dont have much knowledge. I have not been able to give dawah to my counselor. I cannot quote a hadith or Quran verse because I havent studied well. everytime i try to give dawah i just screw up. shame on me I feel so bad. I want to be able to make Islam look superlative. I have a question here, a person who made many non Muslims into Muslims is a better Muslim, and is better in the sight of Allah even though he lacks other qualities of Islam? like i have seen some people who are so religiously overconfident, they think that they can get away with all other sins just because they have made many people Muslim.
One of the main things you need to understand when seeing a counsellor, therapist or anything of the like, is that they are nothing but a means. You need to ask help from Allah swt, turn to Him and acknowledge that nothing will happen without His consent, if Allah swt answers your dua, then it can be answered through the help of a counsellor etc. If He doesn't answer your prayer then know He has something better planned for you inshAllah.
Never give up hope in Allah swt and never underestimate the power of dua.
I urge you to read the book "La Tahzan" (don't be sad) by Aidh Al-Qarni. Excellent book. I have PDF, let me know if you want it.
Do not think of minor sins as insignificant,
for mountains are made out of pebbles...
