🏵️🏵️ It’s heart-wrenching to read your experience, Eri. Islam teaches us that hardships are a part of life, and through them, we can grow in faith and resilience. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an, “Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease” (Qur'an 94:6). Each moment of struggle is an opportunity to turn back to Him, seeking guidance and mercy. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reassured us, “Your supplication is your worship” (Sunan Ibn Majah). Never underestimate the power of turning to Allah in prayer and seeking forgiveness.

Eri, your heartfelt appeal to God reflects a profound relationship that can guide you back home, spiritually and emotionally. Remember, He is always ready to embrace those who seek Him sincerely. How could one not wish to return to such an all-compassionate Creator?
