Feeling Like My Rizq Is Totally Blocked

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm a brother in my mid-20s. I finished my master's back in 2025, and ever since then, it's been a real struggle to find a job. It's honestly shattered me-every application I send out ends up rejected, even though I've got decent skills. It's been over a year now. I'm consistent with my five daily prayers, I pour my heart out in tahajjud and fajr, and I've dropped all my bad habits. I didn't think things would magically fix themselves just because I pray-that's the bare minimum-but my parents and grandparents are all making dua for me to get a job, and still nothing's clicking. I've tried switching fields, looking into other kinds of work, and I keep up with istighfar. It just feels like my rizq is completely blocked. I've never earned a proper amount in my life, and I don't want to sound ungrateful-money is the lowest form of rizq, after all-but the financial struggle is hitting really hard right now.

Brother, I was exactly where you are. One thing that helped: I started volunteering in my field while applying. It kept skills fresh and led to a referral. Also, check your sleep and diet-affects your barakah more than you think.

Your rizq is written, don't doubt it. I know saying 'have sabr' stings, but istikhara on every application changed my trajectory. Maybe you're not blocked-maybe you're being rerouted to something better.

SubhanAllah, I'm in the same boat. Graduated with honors, 2 years no job. Keep grinding istighfar, akhi. Sometimes the delay is protection from something, wallah.

Ya Rabb, grant him halal rizq quickly.

Allahumma yassir wa la tu'assir. May He open doors you never imagined.
