Feeling Overwhelmed by the World’s Pain
Assalamu alaikum, I just wanted some advice on how to cope with this heavy sadness about all the wars and injustice everywhere. It hits me hard, realizing how short life is and that the Day of Judgment feels so near. All this AI and tech stuff popping up, it just adds to the unease, you know? I’m struggling to find contentment and peace, even though I know Allah swt has promised ultimate justice. I wish I could do more to help, but it never feels enough. And when I think about my children’s future, it breaks my heart that they might not experience the sweetness of life and simpler times. Honestly, I’m looking for some Islamic guidance. I get that I should cut down on social media, but that’s not the real issue-the injustice is happening regardless. Giving charity is good, but I still feel terrible for those suffering. It’s so painful knowing there are kids, babies, women, men, and elders living in the most inhumane conditions with no justice right now. I feel awful and don’t know how to manage it without constant guilt or sadness in my daily life. Sorry if this is all jumbled. May Allah bless you all and protect everyone from the evil of these times, from seen and unseen harms. JazakAllah khairun.
