Suhaib Webb – Embracing Prayer- Overcoming Guilt and Self-Doubt

			But the guilt that leads me to want
		

			to live better.
		

			So for someone in that position that say
		

			that's saying to themselves, like, I'm unworthy of
		

			prayer.
		

			I I shouldn't be praying because I had
		

			a pastor. I'm doing evil.
		

			If you were unworthy of prayer and if
		

			you were unworthy of worshiping Allah,
		

			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would not have called
		

			you to worship Him. You wouldn't have the
		

			thought.
		

			So you should feel confident
		

			that that signal,
		

			that that lighthouse,
		

			right, in the storms and difficulties of dunya
		

			that's calling you to worship
		

			is Allah
		

			wonderful beautiful way of reminding you that you
		

			are worthy.
		

			Allah has not abandoned you nor does Allah
		

			hate you.
		

			So take advantage of that opportunity. Don't shy
		

			away from it.
		

			The Quran says race to Allah.
		

			And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
		

			what?
		

			Compete to do good.
		

			So don't allow a bad past to keep
		

			you from a good future.
		

			Don't allow a dark history to keep you
		

			from an illuminated present.
		

			Push in and be more confident in Allah,
		

			then you are insecure of yourself.
		

			And
		

			understand that Allah loves you more than you
		

			love yourself.
		

			The third
		

			component sometimes that people struggle with prayer and
		

			I did mention it. I know I experienced
		

			this as a new Muslim is they don't
		

			know how to pray.
