"Oh you who drinks alcohol, does drugs, commits zina, and everything else. Don't feel hypocritical or too ashamed to pray. Don't feel hypocritical if you want to go to the masjid or come to Allah and do deeds to make up for when you've fallen. Don't lose hope in Allah's mercy. The people judging you are not Allah. Shaitain is cunning and will make you feel you're too far gone, that you're not good enough to do these things. No one is perfect, not the most "religious" of "religious" person. Allah knows you, He created you, and this struggle you are going through is not in spite of Him, it's actually from Him. He dropped you to rock bottom maybe so that you'd remember that no one else but He can help you. So you'd turn to him and put your head on the ground and beg for help. Falling down time and time again and pleading to Allah that you're doing your best but you need his help cause you keep screwing up is not hypocrisy. That's jihad and repentance, two things Allah loves."- Issam Bayan
