Sometimes we may feel guilty when we feel sad at the suffering or pain of someone close to us because we start having thoughts like, ...but there are people suffering all around the world, who are going through worse, how come we dont feel the same way about them? There is no reason to feel guilty, dont let Shayṭān make you feel this way. Yes we should feel for others, yes the pain of our brothers and sisters should concern us, no matter where they are in the world, and yes we should be making dua for them. However, it is perfectly normal that we are going to feel it more when it is someone close to us. That is a normal human trait. It is normal that the closer we are to someone the more it will hurt. The Prophet (ṣalAllāhu ʿalaihi wa sallam) cared for this ummah more than we can even imagine, but there is no doubt that the death of his close ones hit him extra hard, for example his wife Khadījah, uncle Abū Ṭālib (who wasnt even Muslim), son Ibrahīm, and so on. O Allah grant shifā to our close ones who are ill, and to the ill of all the Muslims. O Allah bring relief and comfort to all those who are suffering. Ameen.
