Have you ever prayed with doubt? "O Allah, if You're willing, grant me this... but if not, that's okay." Or perhaps you pray while thinking, "There's no way my prayer will be answered, I've done too many bad things." Without realizing it, we sometimes pray filled with doubt, as if we're uncertain Allah will answer.

When the word 'jihad' is mentioned, many people immediately imagine war and violence. However, the meaning of jihad in Islam is far more comprehensive. Every Muslim has their own jihad to pursue, based on their abilities and situation.

You feel obligated to help everyone who asks for help because you're afraid of sinning. Someone asks for a loan, and you immediately transfer money even though your own savings are low. But by the end of the month, you struggle to pay your bills or sometimes even have to go into debt. Giving charity is noble, but it doesn't mean we should empty our wallets to the point of burdening ourselves or even others.

Think for a moment, who has helped you before? Maybe your parents who were always there, a friend who helped you in difficult times, or even a stranger who gave unexpected assistance. What have you done to appreciate their kindness?
