unrealistic-awkward-piece-of-art asked: Assalamu'alaikum, sisters & brothers. I'm a soon-to-be freshman in High School in Indonesia. I've been having anxiety attack, bad thoughts, worries, insecurities, and questions that I'm not capable of answering lately. I'm wondering what should I do as a muslim girl to deal with it? I don't wanna start off High School with those sorts of things. So, I really need your help and I'm actually a bit scared. Thank you, Assalamu'alaikum :)
Salaam sister,
the best advice I can ever give to anyone, especially as a Muslim woman, is seek counseling or medical facilities that will help you understand any type of issues you may be psychologically dealing with. I cant stress how important that is, I really cant.
There were moments in my life where i thought that I had no one to turn to because I just felt like there was no one who would be able to understand my troubles. When that happened, I lost sight of Allah. I lost sight of what was most important. And I lost understanding of seeking help. But when I knew that I needed to talk to someone, I sought help, and Alhamdulilah I am better.
Theres nothing in this dunya that will not try to challenge you — this whole life is struggle after struggle. But whats important is that we figure out the tools we need to overcome them, even when we might be doing it alone.
Just remember that Allah is with all of us, especially the most silent of us. Remember that there are centers that are willing to clinically help you; dont be shy in asking for help!
InshaAllah this helps. — Dee

Surat Alinfitar, I absolutely love this surah. SubhanAllah!!
Verily never will God change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.
Qur’an 13:11 -
Reminder that your desire to change starts from within you.

faahrishta)
If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless.
Jalaluddin Rum {Alayhi Rahma}
an extensive aspect of identifying as Muslim is simply recognizing that a Muslim, by nature, is an individual that creates and allocates peace.
can we consider our jealousy, our anger, our temper, or our lack of self control things that allocate peace?
when we are on the edge of losing control, we should ask ourselves, will this be evidence of my peacemaking on the day of Judgment? if not, cool down, and take a step back to rethink.
allyxandra asked: I'm trying to understand Islam more. In Christian beliefs Christ made an Atonement for the people's sins so that Justice could be satisfied and Mercy able to enter their lives. Is there something like this in Islam? How are sins and transgressions forgiven? Simple by Allah, or is there more?
peace and many blessings,
what both Christians and Muslims can agree on is that God is the Supremely Merciful, most Forgiving. And what that means is is that God places love, serenity, sincerity, and justice into our hearts (so that we may recognize beauty and truth) — when we maintain these ideals to the best of our abilities, He showers us with Forgiveness.
But when we purposefully ignore these ideals, for our own selfish reasons, God is oft Merciful, and provides us with a number of guides and examples to remind us of Goodness.
Thats how Muslims and Christians view Jesus Christ. He was a guide to those that have forgotten what it means to display sincerity, love, and justice in the world. He was a lover of God, and God loves him deeply.
But when we ask God for forgiveness, we raise our arms for His mercy. And when we ask God for mercy, He sends us people like Jesus Christ.
I pray that this reaches you in the best of health and faith, my friend. — Dee.
