Feeling Lost in My Trust in Allah During Duas

Salaam, I'm really struggling and need to get this off my chest, even if it sounds all over the place. For around a year now, I've been making dua for something important, and it feels like I'm hitting a wall. I keep hearing about having tawakkul, but no matter what I do, I just can't seem to grasp it fully. Sometimes I wonder if there's something off with me-I've watched videos, read Quran translations, and still, that deep trust in Allah feels shaky. I worry that this lack of trust might be why my duas aren't answered, and then I spiral into anxiety because I remember the hadith about Allah being as His servant thinks of Him. Now, thinking these doubts just makes me feel worse, like I'm stuck in a loop where I can't even hold positive thoughts. There are moments when the anxiety gets so bad that I feel like I can't breathe right, all because I'm overthinking and fearing I'm doing everything wrong. If anyone has been through this or has advice, please, I could really use some support. JazakAllah khair.

Girl, same. The overthinking is real. Sometimes just focusing on doing a small good deed helps shift my mindset. Your duas are heard.

Your post is like reading my own journal. It's so comforting to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. Praying for you.

Sister, you're trying so hard. That itself is a sign of your love for Allah. Don't be so hard on yourself. The fact you're even worried about this shows your iman is alive.

I feel this so deeply. Try to focus on the blessings you do have, it helps ground you. May Allah ease your heart and grant your request.

I've totally been there. That loop is the worst, especially the anxiety part. Just keep whispering 'hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel' when it hits. You're not alone, sis. ❤️

The struggle for tawakkul is a journey. My grandma used to say, 'Plant the seed of dua and trust the Gardener's timing.' Be gentle with yourself.
