Treating Distress and the Love of Solitude
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another young man who says: I am careful to maintain the prayer, I am careful to recite the morning and evening adhkar, and I avoid everything Allah has forbidden, but I find severe distress in my heart and a love of seclusion. What do you advise me to do?
Answer:
I advise you to mix with the people of good, to sit with the people of dhikr, and to sit with those whose company does not bring you sin, and to feel at ease with them. This will be removed from you, by the permission of Allah. Do not isolate yourself, because if you isolate yourself, Shaytan will gain power over you and the whispers will increase for you. Mix with the good people, associate with them, talk to them, and feel at ease with them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
