![]() ![]() A saint is just someone who has reached a state where nothing that God does to them will reduce their love for Him. Always think of God the way He describes Himself (the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful), regardless of how you feel. If you feel as if God dislikes you and has turned away from you then realize that this is just your depression making you think these thoughts. But it is even better to worship Him when you have to force yourself to do it, because remaining steadfast despite difficulties and turmoil is what distinguishes the best believers from the average ones. It is good to worship God when it makes you feel good. Even if you get no satisfaction out of the acts of worship, continue to perform them as a proof of your faith in God. If you think you are depressed, then remind yourself that it is your psychology that has changed, not your relationship with God. In my experience when Muslims speak of “low iman” it is not actually a problem with their faith, it is just that they are depressed and their depression makes them feel abandoned and unspiritual. ![]() Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh, ![]()
