Am I Losing My Faith in a Time of Trial?

Assalamu alaikum, I’ve been carrying a heavy weight of pain lately and it’s grown so much that I feel isolated, as if I can't sense Allah's presence anymore. I’ve lost people dear to me, faced many failures in life, and lately, I’ve even thought about ending things. As a revert, I’ve been praying my daily Salah consistently for over a year now, but I’m struggling: if someone were to take that dark path, does it mean they’ve become a disbeliever? Like, if I felt that way, would it mean I stopped trusting that Allah provides or has mercy? Or does thinking this way already signal that I believe Allah has abandoned me or won’t make things better? Jazakallah khair for any advice-barakallahu feek.

May Allah ease your pain. Struggling doesn't mean disbelief. It means you're fighting. Keep fighting.

Stay strong, man. The fact you're still praying and asking questions shows your iman is alive. Dark thoughts don't make you a disbeliever; they make you human.

Brother, you are never alone. These feelings are a test. Keep praying even if it feels empty; Allah hears you. Seek support from trusted people in your community.
