Will a disabled girl who is plagued by suicidal thoughts and fears the future due to her weak social connections, despite her commitment to prayer and reading the Quran, be punished for these whisperings (waswas)?
A believer's faith should not weaken to the extent of wishing for suicide, for this world is a realm of trial and test, and the blessings of the Hereafter are greater than any worldly pleasure. Patience in the face of tribulation magnifies reward and recompense, and a believer continues to be afflicted until they meet Allah without sin. Faith and contentment with Allah's decree enable a believer to find happiness even if surrounded by ailments. Allah's blessings are numerous and countless, and the greatest of them are the blessings of faith and uprightness. The true impediment is he who has not utilized Allah's blessings as He ordained. The strong believer strives and exerts effort and does not surrender to weakness, and can, with their intellect, tongue, and hand, attain elevation and glory. The sister who asked the question should seek Allah's help, strive in seeking religious and worldly knowledge, associate with righteous women, and rely on Allah concerning her provision, for Allah is sufficient for His servants.
