Ramadan is here, and I do not want to spend this month with such doubt, negativity, and lost connection. I want that connection to be restored and I do not want these thoughts to ruin me. I want my previous relationship with Allah back, where I always relied on Him and my heart was at ease even when people around me would tell me that I needed to focus on worldly affairs. In the bottom of my heart, I know am at the path of truth, but then why such thoughts are not leaving my mind? I am praying harder for my guidance, crying and begging to Allah but something within me feels seriously wrong. When I would to make sujood and talk to Allah in duaa, I used to feel strongly connected and at ease. I had a very strong connection with Allah, but the consciousness of Allah watching me, seeing me, hearing me is fading. I am scared day and night that one day I may turn into disbeliever or a hypocrite. I don't know how it happened and I’m trying hard to cut off such doubts, but they are increasing. These thoughts have been increasing since then. I wish I never existed what if there is more than one God how do we know that Allah is speaking the truth in the Quran why Allah always keeps on telling us to praise him. Such things which have never occurred before, and which are so shameful that I wish the earth would split and I would bury in it. I was reading the translation of Quran, which I usually do, and suddenly out of nowhere dark thoughts came into my mind. However, something terrible has happened in the past one. I am also not involved in any haram relationships. I pray five times, recite Quran, listen to lectures, and draw inspiration from hearing the stories of the Prophet, companions and great scholars of Islam. I won't say I’m a very good and pious Muslim, but Allah has always been merciful on me and guided me. Currently, I am in a huge crisis and I want to scream and ask someone for help, but I have no clue whom I should ask.
