\n\tFatwa ID: 04033<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswered by: Maulana Naieem Mohammad<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tI am facing a big issue. I want to live completely according to Deen. However, I am not able to do so because of society and the Fitan and Fasad around me. Also, I am a weak person. I am not that bold or emotionally strong. It is extremely difficult for me to bear the opposition that occurs when I try to keep many laws of Deen.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite my weaknesses, I have been trying to boldly live according to the Deen. I have been sacrificing my worldly resources for the sake of living according to the Deen. However, because of this, I have reached a very low state in a worldly sense. I lost my source of wealth and income. I'm struggling a lot. People look down on me. I am like a mad person to them. I'm alone.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have reached such a low state that I don't think I can bear anymore. However, I also hate to break the laws of Deen. Hence, I am in this conflict. I don't know how to balance Deeni and Dunyawi life.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy brain says that I should break some rules so that I can have a settled life in society. It says it's okay because of the evil of these times and that Allah will forgive. However, my heart breaks when I think of breaking the rules of Deen. It is unbearable for me.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tBecause of this conflict, I am not able to come to a conclusion. I am a weak-hearted person. I am getting so sad that I just wish to die quickly. I get thoughts of suicide but I'm not doing suicide because it is haram. I feel like I want to run away from society, away from all this evil. However, I can't find a place to run away to. I don't know what to do.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat should I do?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have already lost everything sacrificing Dunya for Deen. I don't think I can bear more losses. I'm afraid that if I get more worldly losses, I might lose control and do suicide, which is the worst thing that could happen. At the same time, I can't get the strength to break our rules and sin. I'm wasting away because I cannot come to a conclusion on this. I can't do anything. I am just wasting all my time thinking about this.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tPlease, please help me. What should I do? How should I balance Deen and surviving in a society full of evil?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs it okay if I break some rules when following those rules unbearable hardships are expected to fall on me? Will Allah forgive me?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy brain is saying that I should concentrate on getting a good income and settling down in society and becoming a respected person, even if I am forced to do some sins in the process. After I achieve that,  it will be easier for me to live and work for Deen because I will not have to depend on anyone, and because people will respect and support me.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs this a good plan?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tBut my heart just wants to leave everything else and fully live according to rules of Deen. I am not able to control this urge. I get so much grief when I see the evil that is unbearable for me. I am afraid that because of this I will get great worldly losses till it becomes utterly unbearable for me. I am afraid that I will really become a mad person if I keep following my heart. I am also afraid that I might end up doing suicide if the hardships are beyond my ability.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHow do I control and subdue my heart? Is there a way to reduce the grief that I feel when I see evil or do sins? I can't handle the grief that I currently feel.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tPlease help me somehow. I don't know what to do. Please also make dua for me.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
