I’m at my limit, ya Allah, I don’t know what to do anymore

My big brother basically raised me after we lost our parents when I was 12. He was my whole support, the one who always reminded me to say Alhamdulillah no matter what. After I got my bac, he encouraged me to leave for my studies, saying Allah had a better plan for me and he’d manage things at home. I trusted him and went. Then a few weeks ago, he just stopped answering. I contacted a neighbor back in Fkih Ben Saleh and found out he got into a fight. Some man was bothering a woman on the street and my brother stepped in to protect her. He beat the guy badly and now the guy pressed charges. My brother is locked up. He’s a good Muslim, he was just defending a sister, and now he’s in jail. I kept waiting for a call, making dua after every prayer, just begging Allah for a way out. But everything just went dark for me. I’m so drained, I feel like giving up, but I can’t do that to my brother. I haven’t eaten properly in days, my appetite’s completely gone. I just force down some bread with atay and a few olives I had left because that’s all I have. I pray Fajr and just sit crying on my prayer mat because I don’t even know how to help him. I never thought I’d be pouring my heart out to strangers like this, but I have nobody else. I keep saying ‘Hasbiyallahu wa ni’mal wakeel’ but my chest feels so tight and I don’t know how I’m gonna get through the next few days, let alone get my brother out.

I'm so sorry, ukhti. This is an injustice, but Allah is Al-Adl. I'll ask my brothers here in France if they know any Moroccan lawyers. You'll get through this.

Ya Rabbi, this is so heavy. Don't you dare give up, habibti. You're his strength now. I'm from Morocco too, let me see if I can find a contact for legal help. Stay strong.

Ya Allah, grant them sabr and freedom. Sister, you're not alone-we're all making dua. Is there a way we can send you some help? Please reach out to local masjid.

Oh sis, wallahi I felt every word. Your brother's a hero, and Allah sees his niyyah. Keep making dua, and I'll keep you in mine. May Allah open a way out soon.

My heart is aching for you. Your brother acted for Allah's sake, and He won't abandon him. Keep that imaan burning, even if it's just a flicker right now.

Crying reading this. May Allah reward your brother for defending a sister. Ameen. I'll pray tahajjud for him. Don't lose hope, the One who locked the door can open it.

Sending you the biggest virtual hug. You're stronger than you know. Keep saying your adhkar, and if you need to vent, I'm here. We're your sisters.
