ANSWER:

Allah is testing them with what they can bear. 

Millions of people are being tested and they don’t commit suicide! 

Millions of people become depressed for some time and then they get out of it stronger and better people.

QUESTION: If Allah doesn’t burden a soul beyond its capacity, as stated in the Quran (2:286), why do people still struggle with depression, memory loss, schizophrenia other mental health issues after a trauma Or massive hair loss post trauma ? Why might someone in such a situation consider suicide?”

QUESTION: Is it permissible to seek advice from my therapist about my mom emotionally abusing, manipulating, backbiting me, and trying to ruin my image in the family? The abuse is so bad I fear there might be sihr on me. I only want advice and help bc I don’t know how to cope. Would sharing this in therapy be considered backbiting?

QUESTION: I have a genuine concern. I’m a medical student and also try to share what I learn of deen. But I struggle academically, and this makes me question whether I should be a daa’i. I worry that people may think, “She’s so into religion, but doesn’t even do well in medicine,” and that I’m misrepresenting deen. How should I understand and deal with this?
