Feeling Lost and Heartbroken About the State of the World
Assalamu alaikum, I'm 16 and Muslim, and honestly I feel really confused and helpless right now. With everything happening globally-the suffering in Palestine, all the corruption and injustice we hear about-my heart feels so heavy. I'm just watching it all unfold online, and I keep thinking about how the actual victims must be feeling. SubhanAllah, I can't even imagine their pain. These past few days have been really tough. I haven't been sleeping well-I wake up anxious and restless. It's gotten to the point where I even teared up during iftar with my family without meaning to. I just feel so disappointed and hurt by the state of the world, and it's constantly on my mind. Sometimes I find myself wondering why Allah allows such terrible things to happen, and that thought scares me. I know it's wrong to question, but I can't help feeling this way. Does anyone have any advice or reminders that might help? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
