I used to have such strong faith...I used to be the kind that would do so many things for the sake of Allah swt...I used to be a regular on this forum giving Interfaith discussions for the sake of spreading the truth about Islam and now I'm so different. I'm not saying I do bad things now I mean ..my faith just not as strong as it once were.
In Ramadan that just passed us I was fasting and this co-worker an older Saudi lady nearly twice my age was asking me if I'm fasting and I told her yes for then she told me that she doesn't know if she believes in Islam anymore.
I didn't say anything to her but then she went on as to say, how us women have to cover ourselves just to pray even if we are our own homes away from non-mahram men..and that it's strange we should face Allah in any way for He is watching us anyhow..why do we cover infront of Him?
I started thinking over that once she mentioned that to me...made me think of times where I couldnt find a covering and was wondering if that means I can't pray to God?Why should we have that limitation we should be able to reach out and ask for help and guidance and give thanks in a limitedless way....
she then went on to say about the Qiblah for at work I was asking about it's direction and some were unsure and when I wanted to pray they said no don't that's the wrong direction..and so it's prevented from praying....
I want to be closer to God..and that's why I've come back to this forum...may Allah increase my Eman please help me guys
