Question:
Salam eShaykh,
MSH(qs) speaks about humbleness and how we behave but sometimes its so difficult to keep this property.
For example, in my case, my son and me have become Muslim, alhamdulillah,but my husband (we are divorced) and my daughter are not, their relationship is very cruel, they disregard and despise us very often, especially my daughter and her family. The strange people are more welcome than we, if we called them their children have no pleasure to speak with us only because we become Muslims. Many years we tried to show them that we are not extremist or terrorist, we are just believers but it has brought nothing.
My question is: how we can we be humble if the other never understand humbleness and don’t like to accept us as we are,on the contrary, he sees our humbleness as a weakness. How can I act in this situation please?
Thank you,
Salams.
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Our troubles are messages from Allah Most High to correct our characters even when others are 100% blameable – ostensibly. So you may protect your interests firmly in your role as mother and provider; at the same time, resort to Allah, dua and dhikr for self-purification and the redress of every aspect of your life because entire creation cannot help
itself nor you.
