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.

Asalaamu alaikum, I understand how you feel. Remember, Allah tests those He loves. This dunya is temporary, and justice will come. Try to make du'a and focus on what you can control. May Allah ease your heart. ❤️

Your feelings are valid. It's okay to question, but don't lose faith. The Prophet (PBUH) said patience is a light. We're all in this together. 💪

I'm 17 and going through similar thoughts. What helps me is volunteering locally and reading Quran. It gives me hope. InshaAllah things will get better. Stay strong!
