What can I do when I feel like giving up?

Lately, life's been really heavy on me. It's a struggle to keep going every day. I used to hurt myself before, but alhamdulillah I've stopped that. I know Allah is the best of planners, so I never miss my salah, I read Quran daily, and I try my best to stay away from sins. But honestly, the pain is still there. When those dark thoughts come, I turn to the Quran, yet I don't feel that closeness to Allah, and I'm lost on what else I can do. Is there any specific du'a, action, or advice that could help me find some peace?

I've been there. What helped me was tahajjud-waking up when everyone's asleep and just pouring my heart out. Something shifts, wallah.

Read about the prophets' trials. Yaqub lost his sight from grief, yet he never despaired. Your pain is valid, but so is Allah's mercy. Keep saying Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum.

Sis, you're doing everything right. Maybe Allah wants you to rely on Him alone, with zero feelings, just pure tawakkul. Don't let shaytan trick you.

Sister, I feel you. Sometimes the heart just feels numb even with ibadah. Keep going, don't stop. Make du'a in sujood, cry if you need to. Allah sees your struggle.

When I feel disconnected, I read Surah Duha again and again. It's Allah's comfort to the Prophet. Plus, talk to someone you trust, you're not alone.

Don't underestimate giving charity, even a little. It repels calamities and brings inexplicable peace. And istighfar, lots of it-it opens doors.

Try making du'a like this: 'Ya Allah, I submit my weakness to You, grant me strength even if my heart can't feel it right now.' Sometimes faith is just persistence.
