Jannah is expensive. It costs your ego, your sins, and your comfort.

Imām Ash-Shafi'i ul, said: "When the people abandon you when you are in a time of distress, then know that Allah wants to take over your affair and [make you] suffice with Him as a guardian." إضاءات ايمانية ٢٩٨

Allah doesn't ask for perfection, He asks you to turn to Him with a sincere heart. Your struggles are not a sign of His absence, they are a call to draw you closer to Him.

Oh Allāh, indeed the path is long and weary, and I have no one but You and my fragile self. Guide me with Your wisdom and not with mine, direct me to what You desire and not what I desire. You are the Owner of my affairs and I own nothing of my affairs. Do not leave me to myself for even the blink of an eye, ya Rabb.

Perfection is not the goal. Islam values effort, not flawlessness. "Indeed, with hardship comes ease." [Qur'an 94:6] Struggling doesn't mean failing - it means you're growing.

"When you think you have no one, just remember Allah is calling you five times a day."

لاتتردد في العوده الى الله مهما لوثتك الخطايا والذنوب فالذي سترك وانت تحت سقف المعصيه لن يفضحك تحت جناح التوبه Do not hesitate about returning to Allah Despite your mistakes and no matter how sinful you might be For if He covered (protected) you under the roof of sin He will not expose you under the wing of repentance.

Stop telling temporary people so much about you

Ibn Mas'ud said: "You cannot attain the pleasure of Allah if you try to please people by displeasing Allah" [Shu'ab al-Iman (209)]

Take your time this year. Do things at your own pace, no rush, no pressure. You are in control.
