How do you deal with anxiety about world events? (Islamic perspective)

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I'm trying to understand what Islam says about handling the worry and stress from everything going on. So, how do practicing Muslims manage their anxiety and uncertainty these days? Sometimes when I think about what’s ahead, it gets too much and I have anxiety attacks. With all the crises-like what's happening to our brothers and sisters in Sudan, Palestine, Congo, Mali, plus climate shifts, possible famines, and never-ending conflicts-I often feel drowned in it all. How do you, as practicing Muslims, build your *tawakkul* (trust in Allah) when facing so much chaos? How do you respond to these events without letting fear and anxiety take over?

Surat Al-Insaan really hits different when you’re anxious. Makes you grateful for small blessings. And honestly, reminding myself that this dunya is temporary keeps me from spiraling.

Brother, remember: ‘Verily, with hardship comes ease.’ I reflect on that verse daily. Also, joining a charity that supports our people in Uganda or Kashmir-action builds tawakkul.

Wa alaikum assalam, bro. I feel you. When the news gets heavy, I read Surah Al-Fajr-reminds me that after hardship comes ease. Also, making dua for our oppressed brothers eases my heart.
