Feeling Overwhelmed - Need Dua and Strength
As-salamu alaykum. I feel completely worn out and wish I could disconnect from everything. Everywhere I look I'm faced with pseudo‑liberal ideas. If it comes from non‑Muslims I can understand, but what's really painful is when Muslims from Muslim countries with weak understanding and shaky identity normalize sins and twist the Quran to suit their desires. They make their own rulings and that's a big fitna. I can't go fully offline because of work, though I've stepped away from most social platforms. I'm making dua that I can unplug completely soon. My blood is boiling sometimes - I'm trying my best, but it's so frustrating. Why are so many people, especially those born in the 2000s, so confused? I know part of the reason. What breaks my heart is how quickly some fall for Western propaganda, whether it's LGBTQ agendas or other harmful feminist extremes. They risk harming the community by excusing behaviour and overemphasizing a version of “freedom” that clashes with our values. Please just follow Islam. Call out wrongs when you see them. Don't twist verses to justify sin. I'm so fed up - I nearly smashed my phone today. I haven't been like this before; I'm emotional and feel powerless watching this fitna spread. Make dua for everyone, and protect yourself from harmful propaganda. Let Islam be your primary identity, then hold on to your nationality and culture beneath that. I'm heartbroken right now - please pray for guidance and patience.
