Allah's plan is perfect.

He is teaching us constantly and aligning our affairs in the way that's best for us.

Sometimes that doesn't look like what we prayed for.

Asking for what's best means staying open to whatever comes, even if it looks like the opposite of what we wanted.

“W Aleikum Assalaam Sis, please be consistent with your Istighfaar and aim for high numbers 30k and above. When you are constantly doing Istighfaar there is little to no time for these thoughts, and even if Shaitan persists with these negative thoughts keep up with your Istighfaar and say it out loud ( loud enough for you to hear it ). You will see with time that these thoughts dissipate. You will also see that your Iman grows stronger with Istighfar.

Istighfaar does internal Cleanse of negative thoughts and Emotions, keep up with it and see the change for your self. May Allah Swt aid you in overcoming these emotions and strengthen your Iman.”
