Feels his faith has weakened in UK

26-4-2004 | IslamWeb

Question:

I am an asylum seeker in the UK and things have not been going well for me. I was a better Muslim before I came here; now I feel my Iman (faith) has lessened and I feel a less of a Muslim. Am I not doing well because of my deeds? I just want things to work out for me so that I can go back home, Insha Allah. Please remember me in your Du’a.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

 

We ask Allah to protect you from seduction and temptation.  Know, dear sister, if a Muslim cannot make his religious duties public, it is forbidden for him to live in that country.  For more details, please read the Fatwa: 81642.

As for how to be steadfast and to increase one’s faith, please read the Fatawa: 85275, 83086 and 86121.

 

Allah knows best.
