Feeling despondent and hopeless

· 12 Jumada II 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am suffering with a lot of pressure and I also have alot of problems. My family is not that family who has peace. We will never have peace only if Allah wills.

I lost two of my friends, meaning they stopped talking to me. I feel like I did something wrong which I didn't. They make me feel unworthy to live. I feel ugly. I feel like nobody loves me anymore. I don't know what to do please help me as I might just kill myself.

Answer

There is no need for you to become despondent and hopeless. People may desert you and abandon you, but Allah Ta`ala will never abandon you. Allah Ta`ala's mercy and blessings are unlimited, and His love and compassion are unlimited. Hence, look at Allah Ta`ala's kindness and love, that He has still blessed you with so many bounties which others have not been blessed with. Hence, turn to Allah Ta`ala and use this as an opportunity to get close to Him. Once you have gained the true attachment and friendship of Allah Ta`ala then other links of friendship will become irrelevant. Form the habit of daily taleem of the kitaabs Fazaa'il-e-A`maal, Fazaa'il-e-Sadaqaat, Bahishti Zewar and Seeratul Mustafa. Ponder over the contents and make an effort to practise on the lessons.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
