When you drift away from Allah he invites you to him through 4 stages #islam #youtubeshorts

Summary

If ignored, the second stage involves discipline, akin to parental guidance, using problems as learning experiences. The third stage is more compelling, presenting unavoidable challenges. Finally, if all else fails, the catastrophe is Allah letting the person go, allowing them to pursue their desires without divine guidance, leading to a life devoid of spiritual fulfillment.
