Salam everyone. I am sure this probaly sounds ridiculous, but hear me out. I am someone who grew up with a lot of hardship and I grew up learning that hardships are a way of Allah showing His love to His believers, so I did not completely suffer. And when blessings DID come, they would be short lived.
However, this week I realized a lot of goodness has happened. I am healthier, more fit, more optimistic, my family and I are on good terms, we recently came upon a good amount of money, I am doing well academically, I have begun to gain friends again etc. But I am scared. I have never had so much blessings happen at once. I am begining to worry this is from Shaitan. I still thank Allah deeply but I am just not used to all this. The biggest difference this time from all other times is prayer: I was someone who rarely prayed, but now for the last 6 months have never missed one prayer to the point being on my period makes me angsty because I can't pray! Does prayer really give you what you want when you ask of it? I remember reading (a Hadith I believe) that whoever asks/strives for wordly things, Allah will give it to them, and whoever asks/strives for the hereafter, Allah will give it to them. I ask for both always but I just feel unsettled and bad..I can't help but feel this is a trick as I am so unused to it but at the same time, if it truly is a blessing from Allah I feel bad for being so doubtful. Can anyone please explain this? Thank you.
