Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Also, there is a question: if a person feels, I mean, distress in his soul and feels that he is, I mean, always feels that he is, I mean, not performing his work correctly, I mean, I cannot express it to you, but he always feels distress in his soul, or feels that he is falling short, or feels that he is not... what is the cause of that, I mean?
The Shaykh : The cause of that is, without a doubt, I mean, sins and disobedience. Sins and disobedience are the cause, without a doubt. Therefore, we advise adhering to reading the Qur'an, especially in the month of the Qur'an in which the Qur'an was revealed, which is the month of Ramadan. For the Qur'an is a healing for what is in the chests, as is well known. And increasing the reading of the fixed invocations and remembrances established from the Messenger (peace be upon him) in every occasion of the occasions. In this way, the distress is cleared and the heart finds rest. And that is by turning to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and seeking help through His speech and the invocations of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Is there any other need?
The questioner : O Shaykh, we ask you to convey our greetings to all the brothers who are with you.

The Shaykh : We ask for them that He make their fasting and their standing in prayer the fasting and standing of righteous people, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. Do you command us with anything, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Greetings to everyone.
The questioner : It will be conveyed, if Allah wills.
