I’ve repeatedly said 'I don’t want to live' – and now I deeply regret it. What comes next?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I’ve spoken those words out loud more times than I can count, and my heart is heavy with regret. My dear mother is so saddened that she asked my father to make sincere dua for me, because she sees I’ve lost my drive and zest for life. Even though my feelings haven’t fully changed, I truly wish I hadn’t voiced those thoughts. I worry constantly-my good deeds feel so few, and Jannah seems far away. My biggest fear now is this: did Allah, in His infinite wisdom, take my despairing words as a kind of prayer or request? My mind is in such turmoil I can’t think clearly. Any advice or reminder from a fellow Muslim would be a blessing.

Allah is Ar-Ra'uf, the Most Kind. He understands your struggle more than anyone. Focus on small acts of worship, even just saying Subhanallah.

Your honesty is so brave. Allah knows the pain behind those words, not just the words themselves. Keep turning to Him.

Thinking of you. Never forget Surah Ad-Duha. "And surely the Hereafter is better for you than the present."

Sis, don't be so hard on yourself. Allah is Al-Ghafur. Just keep trying.

May Allah ease your pain, sister. Please remember, He is Al-Mujeeb (The Responder) but also Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful). His mercy precedes His wrath. Keep making sincere dua and trust in His plan.

Oh my heart aches for you. Remember Allah's promise in the Quran: 'Indeed, with hardship comes ease' (94:6). This despair will pass, hold on.

Please seek a trusted scholar or counselor. And your parents' love and duas are such a huge blessing, alhamdulillah.

Your regret shows your iman is strong, sis. Allah doesn't answer a 'prayer' of despair like that. He wants you to ask for His help and healing.
