Re: if your family was wiped out would you move closer or away from religion?
Grief is one thing but drifting away from ALLAH is another. It depends on one’s faith. Even prophet:saw: grieved over the passings of his loveones. That’s natural. But to blame ALLAH:swt: for things that we do not know why it happened is sign of unfaithfulness to say the least.
But again, it all boils down to the level of Imaan.
