How can one deepen their good presumption of Allah and overcome the whispers of hypocrisy when drawing near to Him? And must acts of worship be solely with the intention of drawing near for prayers to be answered? And is the feeling of not wanting to live a normal life and the depression resulting from a son's illness forbidden or natural? And how can one achieve patience and a good presumption of Allah while being able to live life normally and draw closer to Allah?

Be reassured by Allah's decree and destiny, for all that Allah ordains is good for you. There is no blame in performing good deeds with the intention of your son's recovery, for this is part of faith and seeking refuge in Allah during hardship. Remember the Hadith: "If you ask, then ask Allah..." Get rid of sadness by contemplating Allah's wisdom and mercy, for He is more merciful to you and your son. Strive in obedience to Allah and frequent supplication, and have a good opinion of Allah, for supplication is one of the greatest weapons of the believer.
