  • Worshipping Allah to have prayers answered

    My problem is that I feel that every act of worship that I perform is done for the sake of having my prayer answered.

  • Fearing insincerity of intention in doing good deeds

    Asslaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I have read almost all the fatwas regarding the intention, but I still have the same concern.

  • Pardoning others but continuing to hate them
