My trust in Allah is fading and I feel so lost

Assalamu Alaikum. I truly love Allah. When I think about Him, there's this deep feeling inside me that's hard to explain. It’s comforting, but lately, I just can't hold onto it. Every day ends with me crying alone, and nothing ever seems to get better. For two years now, I’ve carried sadness every moment-I can’t find any happiness. I'm still young, but I've tried everything to feel okay. Maybe this isn't the perfect place to share this, but honestly, my faith in Allah is slipping away. To put it simply, when I was 16, my dad was sent to prison. After school, I worked for 2 hours, and on weekends, 12 hours every day. I had no social life, no one to talk to, nobody ever checked if I was alright. I felt so alone; I tried to connect with others, but they treated me like I wasn’t even human. I faced bullying often, and home was its own kind of misery. I felt trapped in my own thoughts. From that time, I turned more to my faith. I prayed, I wept, I only spoke to Allah. I begged Him. I thought about leaving this life, but I held on. I stayed, hoping Allah would rescue me. There was hope in my heart-I believed things could change, that life might improve. But everything is still the same. I switched schools, but nothing changed. I tried so hard to make friends, but it didn’t work. I tried talking to my parents, but they saw me as the 'ungrateful child' just because I have food and they’re around, even though they complain about every bit they spend on me. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it's been a year and nothing is different. Please don’t just say 'Allah is testing you.' Why should I keep believing in Allah? I see others who insult Him living their best lives. I’m exhausted, and I’m genuinely losing my belief in Allah.

The part about seeing others live their best lives while struggling… I get that. It’s the hardest test. Your honesty is brave. Don't lose that spark inside you.

Bro, I've been there. The loneliness and feeling unseen is crushing. Please don't give up on Allah. He hears you, even when it feels like He's silent.

This hit home. Remember, faith has its seasons. This winter will pass.
