Is This a Test or Punishment?

Assalamu alaikum, I’m not sure who to turn to, so I’m sharing here. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m being punished and I’m at a loss. I lost my job, my engagement ended, and every time I get close to someone, I end up being replaced. On top of that, I’m dealing with a lot of personal struggles. I know I still have blessings, and others are going through much harder trials, but it feels like no matter what I do, things just keep getting worse. Even when I pray Tahajjud, my duas feel unanswered, and every door seems closed. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Uff, this hit hard. Maybe it's not punishment, but protection. Allah closes doors to open better ones. Keep making dua, even if it's just crying in sujood.

Girl, I get it. My duas felt like they were hitting a ceiling. Then one day, everything flipped. Just hang on. Make dua in the last third of the night.

Reading this in my car, bawling. Same. But my grandma always says: when Allah loves a servant, He tests them. You're not alone.

Wa alaikum salaam sis. I feel you so much. Sometimes Allah tests those He loves the most. Don't lose hope. Your Tahajjud is seen, even if answers are delayed.
