Assalaamualikum Friend,
Many of us experience the ‘eeman dip’. Those times when you’re not really feeling righteous, and when performing acts of worship feels more like a chore than what you gladly want to do.
You pray when you don’t really feel connected to the salah, or you don’t open your Qur’an for days or weeks. You’re also filled with a type of guilt, such that you’re not able to share your struggles with anyone for the fear of being judged as a lazy Muslim.
Even though the eeman dip is not what any Muslim wants to have, I want you to know that you’re not alone. Many of us, more than we publicly admit, have times when we struggle with worship.
Whenever you find yourself struggling, know that eeman is like a pendulum. Sometimes it swings high, and sometimes it swings low. But there are ways that we can use to keep our eeman charged as much as possible, and reduce the occurrence of our low eeman days.
Read on to learn more.
And do not forget to share :)
Your Brother, Bilal Memon Founder & CEO |
