Hello im Ayman I’m 22 and trying to get my life back in control after a cancer diagnosis at 17. The hardest part that gets neglected is the recovery after the initial treatment. I’ve been listening to the podcasts and trying to better my health despite the setbacks but I feel like my life is at a pause currently due to the fact of how abruptly it happened and having to drop out of school. I’m kind of just playing the cards Allah has dealt me currently.

Salem Alikom brother, I pray that you are safe given the current situation. Inshallah we will get an update from you soon 🤲

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ, I wanted to kindly ask you to remember me in your duʿāʾ. I recently applied for a part-time role at my local masjid which was recently posted that I felt aligned with my values, my circumstances, and my longer-term goals. I applied for it and I think I am through to the interview stage. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ The position would allow me to earn halal income, support myself responsibly, and save towards a major opportunity I am working towards, while remaining close to the house of Allah and serving the community I love. The pay and structure would be a real ease for me at this stage of my life. I truly believe that if this is khayr for me, Allah will open the door — and if not, He will replace it with something better. I ask you to please make duʿāʾ that Allah grants me what is best, places barakah in it, and makes it a means of goodness for my dunya and ākhirah. If you could make duʿāʾ in the last hour of Friday (before Maghrib), when it rains, when doing tahajjud, if you could ask family and/or friends to make duʿāʾ for this Muslim brother in need, it would mean so much. جَزَاكُمُ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا for your duʿās. They genuinely mean a lot to me.
