I have tried praying to Allah to close my heart and made active efforts to fight the feelings and draw clearer boundaries. However, it doesn't seem to work out. I still feel stuck in a loop.\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"You can begin by acknowledging your emotions and understanding that it's a natural part of being human to experience such feelings. There is no need to feel guilty or ashamed about having these emotions. As much as possible, try to minimize or cease communication with this person and distance yourself from anything that reminds you of them. It's essential to remind yourself that, like you, this person is also a human being with flaws and imperfections.\\n\\nRedirect your focus towards self-improvement, engaging in hobbies, and spending quality time with family and friends. When you catch yourself thinking about this person, consciously redirect your thoughts towards Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), or other revered prophets and companions. Dedicate time to learning about the life of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions.\\n\\nRemember that Allah (SWT) is the One who can change hearts, and He possesses complete knowledge and wisdom. Pray to Him, asking for the best outcome. Instead of attempting to directly combat these emotions, request from Allah to either transform this person's heart if it is in your best interest, or to free you from these feelings if they are not beneficial for you. Place your complete trust in Allah to select what is most suitable for you and have unwavering faith that as long as you turn to Allah and entrust your affairs to Him, He will decide what is in your best interest. Therefore, be content with whatever Allah decrees and be patient as this process might take time.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da0320b76658b4c2330a7","tag":"Worship: Tazkiyyah","count":87},{"_id":"668d9ff10b76658b4c2329d2","tag":"Relationships: Opposite Gender","count":80},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:18.167Z"}
