Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu :)
Do you have sometimes the same feeling like me. You do something wrong and you are kind of embarassed of it.
Because you know that you have done something wrong and maybe it was the second time you have repeated the same mistake.
Mostly many people who have done many mistakes or the same mistakes over and over again think that why should they apologise for the sins which they have done. The Argument they mostly use or the thinking behind of this is No hope. Some say:" I have done such a big sin , how can Allah (God) forgive me".
And now I want to ask you a question do you really think that this people have fully acknowledged Allah the Almighty with all his attributes, like they should.
There is a simple answer to that .No. They didn't.
Who can better understand you and me than Allah. Who is the only one who can forgive you and who will accept your request. Who makes your dream come true. Who gives you things or provide you even thow you didn't asked for it. And the List goes on and on. It's simple it's Allah.
If you believe that you are a Muslim or a beliver in God than you should know that making mistakes is a part of your Human nature. The human being was not created perfectly from Allah on purpose.
If Allah the Almighty had created us perfect then how could we ever had acknowledged his Mercy. Him being on our Side when we are going thru the Worst, when we are lying at night on the bed and have sometimes thought of not opening the eyes at the next day. Not everybody but some people, being religious(meaning beliving that God exist) do sometimes think like that.
But if you believe in God and you think like that (..not opening your eyes). It means Shaytan or your own Brain is trying to fool you. Please seek help if you are in that state. Ask somebody for help and to talk to. Don't let your feeling rush you into things you will regret later on. In that kind of stage it's important to stay calm. Breath in and out. Say to yourself: " I have faith in Allah". Make wudhu and stay calm. If you like to remain silence. Rest for 2 Minuites in the "Sajda position". And say :"I have faith in Allah". Say the Qalimah. But try to remain calm. Because hectic is the worst solution which can cause an "explosion of feelings"- and especially feelings who melt to each other.
If you stay in those stages of depression oftenly or you have depression, seek help from a doctor and what to do also,next to seeking help from a doctor, is making dua to Allah.
Feeling alone or like mentioned above is a sign that you are either going thru a phase, where Allah wants you to seek his help and wisdom or you are not fully aware of Allah and Allah is showing you that. You are not fully connected or you lack on practicing you deen or acknowledging Allah and his attributes.For example if you don't eat you get hungry, to an action comes an reaction. I hope I am not bad in giving examples.
Like I said before, only believing in Islam isn't enough. You can compare it to believing that sport is good for the health but doing no sports even thow every Human needs to make sport, either you say walking is sport for me I need to do or to go jogging. You have to practice Islam. Making it a part of your Life.
Back to making duas. If you are in a depressing stage from comitting sins or you have depression, feeling uneasy in your own Life than you should do "Tasbih" or in arabic called "Misbah". They are Prayer breads and you say something on every stone.
The Tasbih I am going to tell you now is very effictevely. I had a rough time in my Life like every Person on this earth and I started it to do because my Grandma also did that and just by seeing her in her state and because it is so beautiful and I cant even describe the beauty of saying those Words. I had a mesmerising feeling and everything in my Life fell on his right place. And I feel so good and healthy and strong. Iam enjoing Life more than in my past.
What I do is in the Morning after the morning Prayer is saying at least 100 times, you can either use your fingers on your hand to count or Prayer breads, you say 100 times :
+Toubat astaghfirullah ((I seek forgiveness of Allah)Some of many benefits::
Istighfar (Astagfirullah) is the gateway of relief and happiness. Whenever you are in distress start reciting it and Insha Allah it will take you out of your anxiety and will put you in a peaceful situation and will give you happiness.Istighfar removes anxiety and duas are answered.Istighfar opens the door of sustenance.Istighfar opens the door of mercy.Istighfar opens the door of knowledge.Istighfar is also gateway of productivity.
from:https://orbitislam.com/virtues-benefits-of-istighfar-astaghfirullah-dua/
+Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) Some of many benefits:
The Holy Prophet Muhammed (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam)said: "Any important work that does not begin with Bismillah is imperfect". Protection against shaytaan. Closeness to Allah.
+ Subhanallahi wabihamdihi suhanallahil azeem(Subhaan-Allahi wa bihamdihi [Allaah is free from imperfection and all praise is due to Him] AND Subhaan-Allahil-Azhim [Allaah is free from imperfection, The Greatest] ) Some of many benefits:
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful: 'Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azhim [Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection)'."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].NOW VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
+ Darood Shareef:(I say it 35 Times than I pray to Allah- making dua, then 35 times after the dua. Then at Night I say it 15 Times and make dua than 15 Times after it, equals to 100 in a day.)
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima Innaka hameedun Majid Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima Innaka hamidun Majeed.
O Allah, let Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.
Some of theBENEFITS:
1. Allah Almighty recites Durood at least ten-times over;
2. Angels invoke Blessings and Salvation for him;
3. During the period that he recites Durood-e-Pak, the Angels continue praying for him;
4. Durood-e-Pak balances the sins committed;
5. It purifies one's actions;If you say this is alot than start small make little easy steps. But believe me Iam saying the Truth that it will help, inshallah. It helped me so much I cant even tell you. You have to go on your own journey and you have to stick to it, thats why Iam saying make easy little steps if this is too much for you for the first time but try and stick to it.
To clearify something I am not saying that all mistakes or Sins are on the same level. No, that would be wrong to say. Not all Sins are like the same even thow in the outcome a mistake or a sin is a mistake or sin. You should know that Allah loves the person who acknowledges his mistakes. Acknowledging his own sins plays a big role in Guidance, Acceptance of Duas and Forgiveness.
Don't give up and make small steps. Dont rush into things. Make small but strong steps. in making Tasbih. Don't force yourself too much. Make easy steps. But TRYYYY it. TRY TRY TRY I cant say it enough. Open yourself for it and Allah will open his Doorss for you, Inshallah.
