Feeling Confused About My Studies and Trusting Allah’s Plan - Looking for Advice 🥺🥺
Assalamu Alaikum everyone 🌸 I’m a 20-year-old Muslimah living in Senegal, and I’m really needing some guidance. I was studying international management at university, but things got tough when I faced health problems in my second year. I ended up stopping because I felt like I had chosen the wrong path - I still feel lost to be honest. I took a gap year to try and figure things out, even looked for work, but finding a job without a diploma is so hard. I’ve always been interested in audiovisual work and even bought a camera, but it didn’t go well because people kept asking me to add music or post pictures of sisters who don’t wear hijab. I just wanted to stay true to my deen and become a better Muslimah, so I felt stuck. Then I tried starting an online business, but that didn’t work out either. 🥺 I pray a lot and trust Allah’s plan, but I’m tired. I’m very sensitive, and living here can be hard because people judge you if you stop studying or take time off. Now I’m thinking about stepping out of my comfort zone and going abroad - to learn more about myself and find my real path. Deep inside, I know I love helping others. I even started a small association once to help those in need, and it made me feel alive. That’s truly who I am. So I’m wondering if I should go back to studying international management or maybe switch to international relations, since I’d love to work with NGOs or humanitarian groups someday. But I’m scared of making another wrong decision. If anyone has been through this or has advice, please share. I’m a Muslimah wearing hijab, just wanting to find peace and clarity in my journey. Jazakum Allahu khairan for reading ❤️
