Someone harmed me in really bad way. They oppressed me and because of them I stopped eating and sleeping. I made dua against them and because of them I no longer go in the library as their friends oppressed me and bullied me and I had to quit my job as a tutor.
I began studying in the mosque and first time in my life I felt welcomed and safe.
However the person's parent came today to the mosque. I didnt say anything to them but felt insecure and scared. My whole body was shaking. I know this person's parent never harmed me and the mosque is the house of allah but I felt violated and unsafe. I honestly am worried and scared what if the person who harmed me comes to the mosque. Will allah forgive the pain and harm the person made me?
I mean I became suicidal and depressed because of them.
I want to keep going to the mosque because I love the mosque but I am scared as eveytime I see this person or anyone related to them I suffer from PTSD from the pain they made me suffer.
Honestly what can I do? I'm trying to be patient but what would help me sleep at night and move on is that this person will be punished and held accountable? It's what kept the sahabas strong because they knew the disbelievers would be punished. Problem is that Is person is muslim...

You can recite this Dua:
"O Allah the stars have gone far away and the eyes are rested. You are Alive and Infinite, You do not slumber nor does sleep overtake You. Oh Alive and the Everlasting One, grant me rest tonight and let my eyes sleep (close)".
Everyone is held accountible. All will be questioned on that Day for every single deed each one has done. So dont worry, you just have to trust God that everything will be good. Quran says that God is with those are patient. So try your best to be patient and not to think about them. Allways think like this "thats ok, tomorrow it will be a new good day". This is one of the times in which it is a great opportunity for you to seek closeness to God. You need to make constant Dua and be firm that you will find peace.

Injustice happens all the time, and often we cannot get real justice on this earth; this is the cause of anger.
Anger is like picking up a burning coal with the intention of throwing it at the person who angers you, and the person who gets burned the most is you. The longer you hold onto this burning coal of anger, the hotter it becomes. This is what is happening to you.
The person who angers you; controls you. It is like they have a remote control, and they just keep pressing the buttons that cause you pain. They could be thousand miles away or even dead, and they will still control your thoughts. This is what is happening to you, because you give them permission to control your thoughts. You should be the only person that controls what goes on in your mind - not them.
You have the power to take this control away from them by forgiving them, look back on some of the posts on this thread, a number of people have given you good advice.
Blessings,#

You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.
