What should I do/how should I frame the situation?","answer":"It's great that you are aware of both your bad habits and the potential for arrogance. To address this, focus on your intention to please Allah (SWT) and improve yourself for His sake, not for personal pride. Remember that any positive change is a blessing from Allah and a sign of His mercy. Always attribute your success to Allah, acknowledging that without His guidance and support, you would not be able to overcome these habits. This mindset helps maintain humility.\n\nRegularly reflect on your actions and intentions. If you sense any pride creeping in, seek forgiveness from Allah and remind yourself of your continuous need for His guidance and mercy. Be grateful to Allah for any progress you make. Gratitude keeps you grounded and aware that any improvement is due to His grace. Additionally, pray for humility and sincerity. Ask Allah to keep you humble and sincere in your journey of self-improvement.\n\nBy framing your efforts in this way, you can strive to rid yourself of bad habits while maintaining humility and a strong connection with Allah. May Allah bless you immensely and guide you in your efforts to better yourself.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff70b76658b4c232a7b","tag":"Worship: Sins","count":100},{"_id":"668d9fff0b76658b4c232b60","tag":"Worship: Other","count":54}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:18.550Z"}
