Two points:
- There are very limited things that you do not find answers for in Islam, and they are just the questions about the substance or the "being" of God, if I might say so. The problem is that I am certainly not the person to give you the answers. I know very little. Although I know much more than I write here. There are many things that I had inquired and got answers about. I was convinced, but I cannot explain them to others, first, I am not a scholar, and second, it is even more difficult to go in such deep questions/ explanations in a language that is not your own. I wish there is any way you could get a translation of explanations or answers given by some scholars who I deeply respect and with whom logic I am deeply convinced. I wish there is anyway that you could pose your questions to these very people, but I don't think there is a way to do this, and I do not want to refer you to any website because websites that are disguised as Islamic but are giving wrong and misleading info about Islam are so many that it would be extremely dangerous to refer you to any online source.
Second: I am so sorry you have to settle for what is least worst. I don’t understand why would anyone settle for this option. I would never settle for anything less than complete tranquility and peace of mind
