Please make dua for me, brothers and sisters

Assalamu alaikum. Please make dua for me. I saved every dirham since I was a child - all my Eid money, working from 14, putting everything aside with the hope that by 28–30 I’d have enough for marriage, renting a home, and raising a family. I never traveled or treated myself; I lived simply and sacrificed enjoyment. Astaghfirullah, when I was 26 I was introduced to gambling. I won some money at first, then lost it, then chased losses trying to get it back. I kept gambling to recover what I had saved and never won. In one year I lost 300k. The next week my car broke down. Now I have no job, no money, no car - every dollar I saved is gone. My life has felt like hell for the last year and a half. I lost hope. I’ve been praying for relief every day. SubhanAllah, I became more diligent in prayer, I pray five times, I’m memorizing Quran, doing dhikr and dua, but the loss is always on my mind and tortures me. My family doesn’t know. I cry every night and I’m in despair. I love Allah swt - if He had to take everything from me to bring me back to prayer, I will accept it - but honestly, wallahi I haven’t smiled or felt relief this whole year. I’m typing this with a broken soul. I feel it’s impossible to get back my savings; marriage, children, and happiness feel out of reach. I keep praying because Allah deserves it, but I’ve lost hope in my life and sometimes I only wish to die shaheed. Brothers and sisters, wallahi, stay away from gambling. I promise you the “win” you chase today can become the loss of tomorrow. My only aim was to recover the money I worked hard for, but it never came back. Please read my story, reflect, and make dua for me. Ask Allah to forgive me and, inshaAllah, to restore my life and replace my losses with better than what I had. Jazakum Allahu khairan.

I’m really sorry. I’ll pray for forgiveness and for Allah to give you peace and a job soon. Don’t hide it from family if you can - they might help more than you expect.

My brother, keeping up with prayers already shows your sincerity. I’ll make dua that Allah fixes this and opens doors for marriage and rizq. Stay strong, one day at a time.
