Salam, I was recently alone with a male colleague having a normal conversation. Nothing happened. However, the guilt of being alone with him is making me feel terrible. I've never felt this guilty and I'm not sure why. I definitely know to never let it happen again. What should I do?
I ask Allah to fill your heart with īman and hayā’.
As to my advice to you: you should sincerely repent to Allāh, and make istighfār. Allāh accepts anyone who turns back to Him. Maintaining a living heart is a great blessing in these times, but also a great responsibility to upkeep.
For everyone else, especially the sisters who complain about not finding a taste of faith in their heart, or being numb to the sins they commit: This is what a living heart looks like.
The Messenger of Allāh said: Sins are heavier than mountains on the chest of a believer, and lighter than a fly on the nose of hypocrite.
If your heart has hardened, then look at the snow outside, and remember how Allāh can bring it back to green gardens. Allāh says:
"Is it not about time for those who believed to have their hearts humbled at the remembrance of Allāh and that which has been revealed of the Truth; instead of becoming like those given the Scripture before — who were spoiled for so long that their hearts became hardened. And many of them are ˹still˺ rebellious.
Know that it is Allāh who revives the earth after its death. We have certainly made the signs clear for you so perhaps you will understand."
