Struggling to Feel Allah’s Mercy

Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters. I come from a practicing Muslim home, but lately my faith is being tested hard. I found out I have HIV, and it’s shattered me. I know I strayed and did things against our deen, even though I’m not sure how it happened exactly. I keep crying and begging Allah for forgiveness, but I feel empty and unheard. They say Allah is Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful, yet I can't feel His presence. I’m losing hope and my heart is heavy. Please, make sincere dua for me, and if you have any advice on how to rebuild a close bond with Allah, share it with me.

Don't let shaytan make you despair. The Prophet (PBUH) said Allah loves when His servant repents. This test might be a means of purification. I'm making dua for your healing and peace.

Hey man, the fact you're seeking forgiveness is huge. Maybe volunteer at a mosque or help others – it reconnects you. Allah's mercy is infinite, don't underestimate it. Will pray for you.

Wallahi, I felt this deeply. Remember the hadith: if your sins reached the sky, Allah's mercy is greater. You're still breathing, that's a chance to return. Stay strong, akhi.

Assalamu alaikum. Your regret is proof of faith. Try reading the Quran with translation, especially Surah Ad-Duha. It healed my sadness once. May Allah envelop you in His mercy.
