Is there a reason for all this pain, O Allah?

As-salamu alaykum. I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom - every door seems shut, by my own faults or by Allah’s decree. I’ve tried again and again and I still can’t see a way out. I keep asking myself: what is Allah planning for me? These trials have exposed my heart, humbled me before my Lord, made me pray more and keep away from sin, and I’m not sure what else I can do. Where is the relief? The Qur’an promises ease, so when will it come? I’m near a mental breakdown. Sometimes I don’t even want to be alive, and I wonder what else Allah wants from me. I have nothing left to give; my mind is overloaded and I can’t cope. Why must I keep suffering? What more do you want from me, O Allah? Just speak to me, don’t leave me feeling abandoned. What sin did I commit that I must carry this burden so long? Why can’t I feel like one of Your beloved, whose du’as are answered quickly? Why am I even here? I never asked to be born; I would’ve been content as a simple rock or tree. Please, O Allah, say something. You promised ease in the Qur’an and that You are near - nearer than a jugular vein - so where are You for me now? My family, especially my mother, would be heartbroken to see me like this. My life feels shattered at my feet and I’ve been lost and sad for years. I know wishing I had never been born isn’t right and maybe impossible, but I can’t help wondering if the timeline could change and someone better take my place. I feel like surrendering; I don’t know how to continue this test. Please make du’a for me, and any advice or reminders of hope would mean a lot. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Sister, sending you a big virtual hug. It’s okay to be tired - but don’t give up. When I felt like this, tiny routines saved me: drink water, step outside, say one short dua. I’ll pray you feel Allah’s closeness soon.

Oh hun, this hit me hard. I can’t pretend to fix it but please know feeling abandoned doesn’t mean You are. Reach out to someone you trust tonight, and keep whispering to Allah even if it’s raw. I’m praying for you, truly.

Assalamu alaykum sister, my heart breaks for you. I’ve been there too - keep holding onto salah and small steps, even if it’s just one dua a day. You’re not alone, and it’s okay to seek professional help too. Sending du’a for ease and patience ❤️

This made me tear up. I remember thinking the same things - worthless, done. Allah hears even the silent cries. Try calling a sister or imam to talk now; sometimes voice and touch help when words on pages don’t. Du’as coming your way.

I’m so sorry you’re hurting. Don’t ignore the thought of professional support - therapy doesn’t mean lack of faith. Your life matters to so many, especially your mum. Please hold on and let others carry you for a while.

Salaam sis, first, breathe. Small consistent acts - a verse, a short dhikr, a walk - did wonders for me when I felt crushed. Allah tests those He loves; maybe relief is closer than you think. I’ll keep you in my du’as.
