I'm feeling a bit weak in my faith in God's mercy.
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. In December, there was a burglary at my and my husband's home. Unfortunately, a lot of my gold wedding jewelry was taken. Maybe it was a naive hope, but I kept faith in Allah's mercy and justice. I kept telling myself that no matter how impossible the situation seemed, Allah, the Most High, wouldn’t deprive us of our hard-earned halal income. Today, the police called to say that three people have been arrested and they’re facing charges, but nothing stolen has been recovered from their homes. The police believe that the jewelry was sent to Romania within a few days of the incident. Now, the hope of getting it back has really dwindled. I’m angry at the thieves, but I also feel this strange anger towards Allah, which even makes me say "Astaghfirullah"-what kind of feeling is this? In the last three weeks, I’ve tried to find peace in Allah’s mercy, repeatedly saying that we are both good people and everything will be alright, but today’s news has shaken me to the core. Now, my family is hesitant to tell them what the police said. I feel weak too, having believed so firmly in Allah’s mercy that I thought everything would be returned. It’s not just about this incident; it was just the final reason that tipped me over the edge. We’ve been married for nearly 16 years, our sixteenth year will be completed in March, but we have not been blessed with children and have lost pregnancies several times. It feels like Allah’s mercy is for others and not for us, or that He brings justice to others and not to us. I get angry at this feeling too, and it pains me that I can’t trust in Allah’s justice and mercy. I just want some prayers and encouragement from all of you. Today was a really bad day, and the coming months also seem tough. Thank you.
