Question:
Dear Shaykh
Assalamualikum
I am not happy with my job but still continuing due to my mother’s wishes. I also feel very stressed in my country, Singapore. I do not know if I am unable to work for others and if it is better to do my own business. I am considering to apply for work overseas either in Australia, Mauritius or London, but currently I still have 8 months to complete my contract here.
Please give advise on how to proceed
Thanks and Sallams
Your Grateful Servant
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Complete your contract and it is better to apply for Australia, especially in Melbourne. We have a big Naqshbandi group you can be part of. And Prophet (s) as Grandshaykh and Mawlana Shaykh Nazim mentioned, used to say, “saahu asaahu” – it means travelers, when you travel, you become healthy physically, spiritually and money-wise. So if Allah opens for you go travel but don’t forget daily to do 100 times Ya Mufattah al-abwab iftah lana khayrul-bab and then go, bismillah. And make sure to get blessings of your mother.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
