There are times, I ask myself am I guided by Allah? I mean I did some sinful things, I didn't read Qur’an thoroughly, I didn't pray sunnah. Sometimes I feel like I wasn't in Allah’s guidance.
Then today I learn from Ustadz Nouman Ali Khan youtube lecture titled What is pure heart, he said that there were days when some parents came to him ask about their children. Once, their child didn’t pray in the mosque before adzan, or they didn't recite Quran. But they didn't do drugs, didn't free sex. Ust Nouman said that they did a good job already. Someone who recite Quran beautifully doesn't mean he/she was more guided by Allah. But what inside their heart is, what makes you want to do that is.
How to know that Allah guide us? Deen is simple, Islam is simple. Every single change that is make you a better person was Allah guidance. It was not all the big deeds that means guidance. You can be just feed some person or reading Quran mindfully. Allah already guide you.
MasyaAllah, alhamdulillah. InsyaAllah Allah never leave me alone.
Wallahu alam bi showab, I wish Allah always guide me to be better and closer to Allah
