Thinking about asking for relief... Is it wrong to pray for my death?

As-salamu alaykum everyone. I'm really struggling with deep sadness right now. It feels like nothing will ever improve. I know these trials are from Allah SWT, and it's His test for me. My question is... would it be a sin to make du'a asking for my own passing, just to prevent myself from doing something foolish in this state of mind? I just don't know what to do.

Wa alaikum salam. I've been there. Making that du'a feels like giving up on Allah's plan. Seek istikhara, talk to someone, and ask Him for ease, not an end. He loves you more than you know.

Hold on. Please. The fact you're asking means your iman is still fighting. That's huge. Don't make that prayer. Ask for strength instead.

Sister, please don't pray for that. This feeling is shaytan trying to make you lose hope in Allah's mercy. He tells us He does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear. You are stronger than this. I will make du'a for you.

Your life is an amanah from Allah, sis. Please reach out to a trusted scholar or a helpline. This sadness is temporary, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Sending you so much love. This dunya is a test and it's so hard sometimes. But your soul is precious. Speak to Allah, cry to Him, ask for healing. He is Al-Shafi, the Healer.
