Question:
AssalamOAlaikum Sheikh
I grew up a “lonely” child and felt I was never good enough for my parents. I see my friends/family doing well whereas I have troubles throughout life, from family to school, no job ever. I was at a point in my life where I would be in the mosque 5 times. I was even the muezzin. I do not mean to boast. I used to recite salawat a lot and at one point I believe I saw RasullAllah (SAW) while awake. Maybe I’m delusional.
I am also married now, and the way it happened it felt like I was not in control. I did istikhara/tawassul before it and I felt immense peace in my heart and before I knew it I was married. It happened without my parents’ permission, but this is not what I wanted. I don’t understand what is happening to me Sheikh. Please help.
