Eid Mubarak everyone! I know its Eid but I would like to post about- something else which is playing on my mind. I'm sure I've posted about her before here. Its about my sister (the eldest) and forgiveness. I keep thinking she will end up in hell. She is extremely depressed but she never prays, and her whole outlook on life is wrong. She constantly blames my parents and the rest of our family for not helping her or apparently not caring about her or taking interest in her daily activities. Which is all untrue. She has IBS really badly. All we can do is keep an eye on her. But no she expects us to pay attention to her all the time so that she doesn't feel 'ignored'. She's accused my sister (who is very good and keeps her Islamic duties) for eye rolling her. Now she has gone completely in silent mode and doesn't speak to any of us. The only time she does is to argue with mum or dad. Or to take food from my mum which mum or me gives her every night for her majesty.
I tried to give her Islamic books once very easy to understand and she came downstairs and said Is this a joke and gave me them back. So one one hand she is dealing with these horrible illnesses and on the other hand she is not and never tries to help herself.
I think the biggest step in curing depression for the person to realize it herself that she has this and she wants to get out of it. IF she is not willing to do something about it then there's little others can do to help.
But nonetheless, here's some resources i hope helps.
