I am very depressed and feel like committing suicide. I am a Muslim. I feel like life has no meaning and feel like questioning the existence of God. I feel like God doesn't care and just wants to make my life a living hell. I apologize if what I am saying is against the rules because I had no time to read. So I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me if I said anything wrong. I really feel like committing suicide, I don't know what I should do, I don't know if God will forgive me for the things I've done.

I pray five times a day, I read the hadith, I try to please God but I find life so difficult. I don't know why God would want to do this to me. God doesn't talk to me or answer my prayers, God seems so harsh and unapproachable, God just seems like he isn't there. And my so-called brothers (and sisters) in Islam aren't much of a help either. I feel like there is not one single human on the face of this planet who can help and understand. I feel like there is no point in living. I might lose my faith any time and just commit suicide.

What can I do?

Once again, sorry if this goes against the rules or offends anyone, I am unable to think clearly at the moment. I just hope I can find help.

my brother dont lose hope,be patient because all good things come to those who wait.what is better,to suffer on earth and enjoy in heaven or vice versa?dont be sad,be happy,dont compare yourself to people who are better than u,compare yourself to people who are worse than u,u want to commit suicide,think of those who are killed innocently,those who died without knowing the truth,look at u,u even have money to surf the internet,but do u know that there are people out there who wish to have what u have?think of the orphans,think of those who are mad,think of those who are sick in hospitals,look at the poor,look at the lame,just look at the less privaledged in society and compare yourself to them.dont u think allah is very merciful to u?dont only thank him when u are in good health and everything is moving smoothly in your life but let your faith be strengthened when u are in problems,because others have WORSE PROBLEMS THAN WHAT U ARE GOING THROUGH.so begin by asking Allah's forgiveness by doubting his existance,then thank him for whatever problems u are facing,because otherts have worse problems than what u have.

Brother Allah has answered your question, read the following carefully,

And as far as your question, regarding answers from ALLAH. I want to tell you that if you are thinking that Allah will answer your prayers directly in a way that you talk to you parents or friends, then sorry to say you are disrespecting ALLAH, and shaitan will drag you to hell. I hope you know what happened when Musa (Moses) {Peace be upon him} asked Allah (SWT) to unveil so that Musa (PBUH) could see Allah (SWT), here is the quotation from Glorious Quran,

And when Musa (Moses) came at the time and place appointed by Us, and his Lord spoke to him, he said: "O my Lord! Show me (Yourself), that I may look upon You." Allah said: "You cannot see Me, but look upon the mountain if it stands still in its place then you shall see Me." So when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it collapse to dust, and Musa (Moses) fell down unconscious. Then when he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to You, I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers." (7:143)

Moses [Peace be upon him] when recovered his senses asked Allah to forgive him as for what he has asked he was not capable of.

And brother you are no Prophet no near a Prophet and asking Allah (SWT) to answer you like you chat with your friends. You should repent crying.

Your and my Lord has answered your question and he made me a reason to answer you. Look this is how Allah give you answers, remember that I have quoted the verse from Holy Quran, these are the words of your and my Lord he has answered you from his words and not mine. Do u still doubt in his existence?

I want to tell you that if you are sincere in your prayers Allah answers your question by giving answers to your heart, or put you in a situation in which you will find your answer. But

Brother if you still have any question regarding the existence of Allah (SWT), ask here. We will try our best to answer you as much as our knowledge is capable of.

I myself unfortunately have lost my way, I felt as though I was reading glasses my own story and thoughts upon stumbling across this forum.

Although I feel I have got over the worst year of my life which consisted of dark thoughts daily, and I have begun growing closer to part of my family with whom I was totally detached from for many years, my worst evil of being g stuck in nightmare of class A drugs for over 10 years now on and off is driving me to despair. What ever I do seems to circle around this nightmare life and I just don't know what more I can do after finding g that rehabilitation and recovery is designed for those who don't work for a living.

If I focus on rehab with faith as my guidance, I'm forced to give up work and unable to support my family the little I do, if I don't give up work my health care support network us minimal, I just feel I'm in a continuous vicious cycle with no end in sight.

If anyone with similar experience and difficulty can offer productive advice I would much appreciate
