You’re a hypocrite if you only make dua for Palestine yet feel nothing for the Muslimeen elsewhere. Palestine isn’t the only one being attacked. Our sisters in Al-Hol and Roj camps in Syria have been neglected for so long. Ahlus Sunnah in Iraq are being put into ovens. Houthis are imprisoning our Sunnis brothers and sisters. Hindu mobs openly torture the Muwahideen. Don’t forget Kashmir, Pakistan, Burma, Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia, Mali, Nigeria, Congo, Chechnya, Dagestan, Libya, Thailand, etc. Make dua for every single Muslim in every corner of the world. Dua isn’t even the least we can do, wallahi.

وإن كان لقائي بكَ قد إقترب، فارزقني خاتِمة حَسِنة يا الله.

And when my meeting with You is near, grant me a good end, O Allah.

The Prophet peace be upon him said, Allah عز وجل gives worldly provision to those whom He loves and those whom He does not love,

but He gives religion only to those whom He loves.

So whoever is given religion, Allah loves him.

Ibn Al-Jawzi رحمه الله said: “It is not knowledge per se that is beneficial but rather what it entails that matters: The essence of knowledge is obtained through acquiring knowledge for the sake of acting upon it.

Each time knowledge points at a virtue, the student of knowledge works hard to attain this virtue. And each time knowledge points to something lowly, then the student works hard to avoid it. This is how knowledge reveals its secrets to a person and becomes a road that is easy to walk upon.”

[Captured Thoughts by Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله pg. 393]

الحلال لا يمكن أن يكون سهلا أبدا

Halal can never be easy.

لكن البركة التي فيها تستحق كل صعوبة

But the Barakah it contains is worth every difficulty.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ دِقَّهُ وَجِلَّهُ وَأَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ وَعَلاَنِيَتَهُ وَسِرَّهُ

The Prophet ﷺ used to say while in sujood, “O Lord, forgive me all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.”

Sahih Muslim 483

if this life is a test, how do you say that Allah’s plan is the absolute best? There’s wisdom and always a reason for what He does but there’s no “best” in imperfect dunya. so what do you mean?

Assalamu Alaikum

Well, what we think is best for us within our limited knowledge isn’t the best most of the time, while what Allah swt chooses for us to go through even though we don’t like it (the tests and trials) are best for us if we are making an effort to get closer to Allah through them.

So it’s like anything that He gives us (the good, the bad) if it’s making us close to the deen and making us prioritise our Akhirah and well being is best for us.

While the test and hardships will tire us and pain us, it’s natural, if we are true believers we will make them a mean to become more faithful. Anything that will benefit you in the hereafter that you go through in this dunya regardless of it being a test or a blessing is his best plan only when we choose to be righteous servants of Him, because He wants that and this is for our own benefit i.e Jannah; and the greatest success of meeting your Lord pleased with you.

I remember this saying that “the dunya is made for us but we aren’t made for the dunya”, so while all of what this dunya contains might overwhelm us but we aren’t made for here that’s why we are reminded again and again that it’s a test so that we don’t get lost here and yearn for our eternal home constantly.

Hope that answered your doubt and Allah knows best.
