Making yourself doubtful if someone can give luck
I am struggling with having doubts of my Islam from thinking
Did I become a kafir or a mushrik from thinking “I don’t know if someone or something can give luck to someone or make someone fortunate and so on” and I have so many similiar doubts and I am young for these things please answer
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Dear child,
May Allah protect our precious precious iman.
1:Thoughts do not make one kafir or mushrik. It’s shaytan, wanting to put doubts in your mind to rob your precious imaan or at the least make you emotionally incapable. Do not let him win. Just ignore his whisperings.
Learn basic islamic creed to strengthen your imaan and make duas for mental strength, like;
أَعُوْذُ باِللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمْ
“I seek refuge in Allah from the dejected devil.”
اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ وَسَاوِسَ قَلْبِىْ خَشْيَتَكَ وَ ذِكْرَكَ وَ اجْعَلْ هِمَّتِىْ وَ هَوَايَ فِيْمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى
“O Allah! Make Your fear and remembrance the obsession of my mind and divert my will and courage to the performance of deeds that please You.”
(Al Hizbul A’zam)
وَقُلْ رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ . وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ
“Say O Muhammad r, ‘O Allah! I seek your protection from the whisperings of the Shaytān, and, O my Rabb, I seek Your protection that they (the Shaytāns) approach me (because they always approach with evil).’”
(Surah Mu’minun – S. 23, V. 98)
2: Muslims may take good omen or pray for good luck from others but there is no bad omen or others bringing bad luck in Islam.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
