Pray for my cat to get home soon and help me finding ways to stop thinking badly of Allah
Assalamualaikum,
Recently my cat went missing because when I was away, my father let my only cat chased down some stray cats despite how I constantly reminded him not to. Btw my cat has been neutered and vaccinated.
It has been 36 hours since he was gone and I tried my best to pray, dua, and reading Quran to soothe down my heart. But I couldn’t stop feeling down and constantly got angry, even during Quran recitation. The first night I couldn’t get sleep but after 24 hours, I keep taking naps and went into deep slumber.
I really, really try my best to stop sulking or getting myself stray from Allah’s path but it is really difficult. I even considered on stopping praying or keep thinking how alcohol would stop me from feeling down. I think I was the verge of breaking before my cat went missing; I had to deal lots of things, my study, my unstable part time job and the worst of all, my parents. Staying with them mostly because I don’t want them to get each other’s throats. The only positive thing that I could think of is how my parents stop or withheld themselves from arguing because I am in my lowest state right now and their arguments would make me be in a fit of rage. I know if I actually get angry, I would be an aggressive one than both of them.
Getting back to the topic, do you have suggestions on how to stop myself from feeling down and angry? And also, it’s Friday here so I would be grateful you guys make prayers for my cat to get home to me safely.
May Allah guide us.
