Sometimes faith feels really hard to hold onto...
Salaam, I know this might sound like a weird question, but I really need to ask and get some guidance, insha'Allah. I tried talking to my family but it didn’t really help. I’ve been praying on time, trying my best to be a good Muslimah, and I made so much du’a for one specific thing-it honestly meant everything to me-but it feels like Allah hasn’t answered it. I even stopped praying for a bit, which I know is wrong, but I just felt so stuck during salah and still do. I really thought if I kept praying and believing, things would change, but I’m still struggling to find work, my future seems so unclear, and sometimes I wonder what the point of hoping even is. I prayed tahajjud, did everything I could think of… and it’s still not happening. I’m in my early twenties, just doing a short nursing aid course because I can’t afford anything else right now. How do you all keep your iman strong when it feels this tough?
