Overwhelming Fear of Losing My Parents and Constant Desperate Duas

Salam everyone. Out of nowhere, a few months back, I started getting this terrifying fear about my parents dying, especially my mom. It’s like I can’t focus on anything-eating, sitting with family, studying, whatever. Then my uncle passed away suddenly, and it hit me so hard. Now the fear is even worse, like a wild, suffocating thing that won’t let go. I can’t even look at my mom without panicking about losing her. I’ve been trying to get closer to Allah and do my obligations, but I don’t know what else to do. I just want peace. Please make dua for my uncle. Also, whenever any worry comes to mind, I immediately make dua. At first it felt good, like I was connected to Allah. But now it’s become obsessive-like if I don’t make dua right this second, I’m sinning. I know it’s not logical, but my mind won’t listen. Any advice would mean a lot.

This is so normal after a loss, grief messes with your mind. Don’t beat yourself up about the dua thing, it’s not a sin. May Allah grant you tranquility.

Bro I get it. Maybe read Surah Ad-Duha often, it calms the heart. And istighfar works wonders for overthinking. Big hug!

Ya Allah, this hit me deep. Currently going through the same. Sometimes I just hug my mom and cry. InshaAllah this phase passes, keep your tawakkul strong.

Sis, I relate so much. The fear can be paralyzing, but remember, our parents are a trust from Allah. Making dua is beautiful, don’t let shaytan twist it into waswasa. Try to breathe and trust Allah’s plan. You’re not alone.

Salam, sis. First, my condolences for your uncle. Second, have you tried ruqyah? Sometimes obsessive fears need spiritual cleansing. And talk to a trustworthy sheikha, it helps to vent.

Allah yerham your uncle. What you feel shows your pure heart. Maybe set a specific time for dua instead of every panic moment, it helped me. Obsessive thoughts are tough, may Allah ease them.
