Summary of the answer to the questioner who feels despair and frustration:

- Happiness and tranquility lie in obedience to Allah and fulfilling His commands, while misery and worry stem from neglecting obedience and committing sins. - Sins cause a feeling of estrangement in the heart between the servant and his Lord, and between him and people, and make matters difficult for him. - Residing in countries where temptations (fitan) are widespread is a reason for falling into sins and transgressions. - To overcome despair and frustration: Be constant in obedience, increase in the remembrance of Allah, and be content with Allah's decree and destiny. - We advise accompanying righteous women who invite to Allah, and caution against becoming attached to created beings. - It is not permissible to despair of Allah's mercy, nor to wish for death due to an affliction, and suicide is forbidden. - Do not abandon or delay marriage; if you seek a righteous husband, he will be a helper to you. - Be good companions to your parents and dutiful to them, and try to be kind to them and bear their words and actions. - Seek help through patience, overlooking, and forgiveness with your siblings, and ask them to stop harming you. If they do not desist, ask your parents to restrain them. - Increase in supplication that Allah may remove worry and grief from you and expand your breast.
