QUESTION: I live on the 8th floor and my cat fell from balcony yesterday and died. Im feeling so guilty about that, because it happened in front of my eyes and could not do anything. I made dua in the past a lot of times for my cat to not fell cuz i already had this bad feeling but it seems it wasnt accepted. Do you have any tips for me to get over this. May Allah reward you.
