Struggling with Hurt from Family? Here's How to Cope Islamically

Assalamualaikum, everyone. I'm going through a tough time with some relatives who've really hurt me and my family. It's been weighing on my heart and messing with my focus, especially during salah and when I try to study. I keep replaying what happened, and it's tough. I know cutting family ties isn't allowed in Islam, so what are some better ways to handle this? Any advice or duas that have helped you in similar situations?

Been there. I found reciting Ayat-ul-Kursi and focusing on forgiveness helped me stop replaying the arguments in my head. It takes time.

Hang in there. Sending you virtual hugs! Remember your reward with Allah is greater for your patience.

Try writing down your feelings, then make sincere dua for them and yourself. Helps to release the anger before salah.

I feel you. The pain is real. Just keep turning to Allah, He is Al-Wali (The Protecting Friend). It gets easier, insha'Allah.

Distance with respect can sometimes help. You don't have to be super close, but maintain basic ties for Allah's sake. Protect your peace.

May Allah ease your pain, sis. It's so hard when it's family. Keep making dua, He knows what's in your heart.
