Demotivated from Ibadah: Now What? | Dr. Ali al-Barghouthi | 042

We have all felt this in our lives. Sometimes, our iman takes a dip. We might feel weak and demotivated from worshipping Allah. We feel helpless, vulnerable, lost, and wrestle with thoughts of losing hope altogether.

Are these feelings normal?

Should we feel guilty about having these thoughts?

What should we do if we feel this way?

How did the righteous people of the past handle these feelings?

Join us this episode with Dr. Ali al-Barghouthi as we discuss and ponder upon what Islam says when dealing with demotivation and how to successfully overcome it, bi idznillah.
