I obviously don't really know these people anymore but a lot of them from what I can remember weren't holy at all. And getting in touch with some of them further solidified my opinion. I just feel like I'm being punished when it comes to careers and having a good future. Whenever I get an interview it either is fake or I don't get it due to racism or I was just invited because of the discrimination act. I really don't know what to do anymore. Last yr I thought things would get better. This yr theres even fewer jobs to apply to. And I'm working on a business idea (but I'm starting to get cold feet, because of everything that's been happening). I thought this yr I'd find a job. I still haven't found anything. I don't know how I'm supposed to cope anymore. I get so upset when I see my acquaintances doing alright and I'm wondering when's my turn?

Dear sister,
Everything you mentioned are temporary in this world. For how long will a person drive a nice car? For how long will a person be doing a job? Further, Allah SWT some times test a person's patience who is dearer to Him. Still you will get everything, believe me, but just try to be happy with whatever Allah SWT has decided for you. A few might be looking better to you but remember that more than a million will be more miserable than you. Better are not those who drive a nice car or have a nice job, better are those who have a satisfied and calm life. So try to be happy with whatever you have, you will be always better than others.
Remember the quote :
“He who avoids complaint invites happiness.” Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (RA)So always be happy and keep smiling, you will get whatever you want, sooner or later.
Stay blessed.
