I was struggling with specific things in Islam or what was portrayed to me as Islam.
The fact that I had an oppressive childhood where Islam served others to cut my rights notably my father didn't help it.
I realised my thought patterns were inevitably caught up in this internalised conflict over authority over my own life and an oppressive image of Islam.
As a result I had diverted from being a Muslim who held his ground to a fighter of so called justice or my personal justice.
However when hardship struck me and I turned to Allah I didn't receive help. I tried figuring out why for 3 years.
1 week ago I met a guy at a workplace who I used to think is a clown. However he talked to me sense and showed me the big picture I was missing being all caught up in debates and issues.
He also let me express my frustrations. Then I was calm enough to see what I should hold on to. He offered me hope to get my life together in that he elaborated on Allahs boundless power to help his servants out of hardship into ease by referencing tasawwuf, the benefit of specific dhikr to invoke Allah's help. He spoke from personal experience.
Now I am hopeful again and have a peace of mind that I couldn't achieve before.
