Question:

I'm an Arab that left his home over 10 years ago and I'm very lost and can't control my acts life has no meaning. And faith too but the problem is if I believed in that I would become just another capitalist I don't know where to go. I feel weaker by the day. I don't know if I'm a believer or not any more at least in my heart.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

Dear brother, the door of repentance is wide open for every person as long as he does not face the agony of death. So, you have to repent sincerely from all sins immediately. Allaah welcomes every repentant regardless of his sins and forgives all his sins if he is sincere. The one who repents is like the one who has never sinned at all. To know how to repent refer to Fataawa: 81467 and 84677.

We also advise you not to mix with bad people and the opposite sex. You should only befriend good and pious people, because this helps you remain steadfast. For more detail please read Fataawa: 85277 and 85477. You should also consider returning to your homeland if it is a Muslim country. See Fataawa: 81464 and 83200, regarding living in non-Muslim countries.

Allaah knows best.
