Assalamu Alaikum, I felt this piece so much, Jazakillah khairan. I truly pray Allah makes it easy for you. The truth will always prevail. Remember in times you have no one you have Allah. He is right there with you, closer to you than your jugular vein.

Also even a punishment if you think of it is a mercy from Allah. A mercy, that you are receiving here in the dunya and not in the hereafter. Plus is it really a punishment if the very thing is reminding you of Allah and bringing you near to him? I pray this is just a moment Allah is using to shape you to become your best self and grant you the highest rank in Jannah. May As Salam grant you peace, solace and heal you. Amin Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum.

Hi there! Salāmun ‘alaykum.

I know this is random, but if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m a very good listener.

I wanted to say that this long piece is so beautiful that it should definitely not have stayed in your drafts. It’s not just for you, it’s for everyone who feels how you feel.

The top comment captured it all: “is it really a punishment if this very thing brought you closer to Allāh?”

Your struggle, your strength, your ease and your relief have all been written.

I also went through a phase some years ago when I was around the same age you are right now, my heart would tug and constrict because of the feeling that I had lost the love of my Lord and it was so hard and so painful.

But like every struggle and hardship, it passes, it ends, and when borne with patience and reliance upon the Rabb of the ‘Ālameen, it becomes soft, eased, a faint memory, your comeback story and the very link between your weak self and your renewed self.

I’m happy that you’ve found your voice and proud of how articulate you are able to word your feelings and how you were guided towards the healing power of the Qur’ān.

From another striving soul, it only gets better from here.

Your tranquility is in the perfection of your Tawheed and in the service and love for your Creator.

🎐🤍

wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullah. i don't even know what to say. the way i teared up reading and reflecting on your beautiful comment. thank you *so* much. this means so, so much to me, more than you know. (blinking away my tears, hold on).

it's so comforting to know that i'm not alone in those feelings. 'it becomes soft, eased, a faint memory, your comeback story and the very link between your weak self and your renewed self' - this is so beautiful. i truly have no words to express how happy and overwhelmed this comment has made me. i do feel it getting better. things still hurt. but i'm grateful to be able to write and let it reach beautiful souls like yourself. may Allah bless and reward you abundantly, and make all your du'a's come true 🩷.
