My physical self struggles to bear calamity after calamity (OP)
Assalam Walaikum
Being met with calamity after calamity, the latest one being last night. I'm finding my physical self struggling to cope with serial and concentrated calamities, one followed by another due to human behaviour of other people.
I read and believe with conviction the following from surah bakarah.
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (02:286)
The nafs or the soul can take anything, I understand that, it's part of being spiritual, we can neither see it or touch it.
But what about our physical self? The stress and worry in our physical mind, the calamities affect way of life, eating and breathing habits and it brings our self esteem, our steadfastness and self esteem down.
Does the passage exclusively refer to the nafs / soul or is it supposed to refer to all entities attached to our existence spiritually and physically.
I am stuck brothers and sisters, it depresses me and makes me regret a lot of things.
I continue prayers, make sincere dua with tears, do istigfar,, losing the will to live, from what was a content and humble life I now face intimidation, deliberate damage, worry for lives I am responsible for and also always trying to do the right thing. Feel whole world is against me.
I appreciate all the prayers, I know they're all being heard but worried what lies ahead in this world.
I have immediate family members, nephews, nieces, got my own child.
How can wicked people get away with all this, I pray for it to all stop but it doesnt stop.
Exactly how I am feeling now.I am unable to speak much so yeah I am being prevented from sinning by idle talk
Subhanallah! I've had throat incident earlier for similar thing.
In the earliest times of my deen, looong time ago, when I started learning Quran I used to have same throat incident, unable to speak. Now, it's the opposite

Makes me ponder if I have been forgiven for my sins or not as the test / punishment continues.... which wears me down every now and then .
Re: My physical self struggles to bear calamity after calamity
im aging 36 next year,i see my life is already passed.What remains is nothing but years of battling fears of death unless gets a guaranteed dreams of Jannah that momineen do get by the mercy of ALLAH.
Though i do hope & make dua for good times & bit of dunya rewards from Allah - He Ta'ala,promised us in His Qur'an & Ahadeeth,if we do taqwa,repent,shed tears & do good.
We are living in times of extreme hardship where our faiths get extremely punctured.It's a mess & good things don't come to many of us upon Deen,so easy & soon.
Won't we be patient & take joy in doing good deeds by trying even?
Kindness is bestest happiness bringing act. Smile & give regular dawah online esp on all platforms . It's so easy & simple to copy/paste Daily Aayat & Ahadeeth on all social medias.
An excellent act,InshaAllah - in the Sight of Allah Most High.
My focus is hereafter.Was,is & undeniably true that im passing to hereafter life & it should not be a trouble afyer years of painful pangs 24/7.
I can't do anything about anything that happens to me.Just sideline though as in the hadeeth:
"Dua is worship"
I try a bit of ibadah routine as when I'm in good state of imaan - ALLAH knows my tries.I know He knows me in terribly horrible situation - extremely paranormal so i just leave it on to Him & engage in worldly things.
Total Escape.
Azaan brings me back & at times im grateful to Allah Almighty for obligation of namaaz.
Shukr Alhamdulillah
Prophet (sallAllahu alayhe wasallam) told us :
"Thinking well of Allah is an act of ibadah"
Think good.Think ALLAH will never abondon you.Think of meeting ALLAH Most Compassionate with your daughter.Think that it's a tŕial.Think,good because how we assume of ALLAH - He is that.
May Allah Ta'ala protect & bless you in both lives!Aameen
