Finding Comfort in Faith After Loss

Since my brother passed away, I've felt closer to Allah than ever before. I hold onto the hope, insha'Allah, that I'll be reunited with him in Jannah-it's what keeps me going. At the same time, I've noticed my interest in worldly things has faded. Most of my days are filled with salah, looking after my parents, and, if I'm honest, quietly waiting for my own time to come. I don't really make plans for the future and try not to dwell on it. Maybe I'm struggling, but all I genuinely want is to live in a way that pleases Allah, so that when I meet Him, He's content with me and I can see my brother again. The thing is, I'm only 22, with many years ahead, yet I have no drive to build a career, start a family, or chase other goals. Sometimes I feel guilty about it, but focusing on my deen and family is what gives my life purpose right now. Just needed to share this somewhere.

May Allah accept your brother into the highest Jannah and give you sabr. You're not alone.

Been there. That lack of drive for worldly things is real after a loss. Just take it one day at a time, brother.

This hit hard. Lost my dad last year and feel the same shift. Don't feel guilty; your priorities are right.
