We are living in a time of global financial instability, rising costs, increasing debt, job insecurity, and an economy that makes even the basic necessities feel heavy on many households. These hardships are real and have tested the emotional, spiritual, and financial resilience of many households. Yet these struggles are not new; they are part of the divine Sunnah of Allāh in this world.

And sometimes - may Allāh protect us – many people, especially young people, begin to think: “Maybe it’s better if I’m not here!”
