Question:
Dear Shaykh Gibril Haddad,
Assalamu alaykum wa Rahmat Allahi wa Barakatahu.
My height is 5′ 2″ (female). My torso is that of a 5′ 8″ woman but my legs are very short and not in proportion with my torso length. I am saddened, feel low and like a ‘freak’ to have such short legs.
I have been reciting ‘Rabbi zidni‘ 100 x daily, to increase my overall height; I pray for a 4-5 inch increase and wonder if this ‘zikr‘ is enough to cause the miracle which I feel I need to increase the length of my legs.
Please forgive me for sounding so vain, but this is a psycho-emotional issue for me. Is there some more powerful/better ‘zikr‘ through which I can approach my Lord, Allah to give me what I want?
I am sorry for my inadequacies. Humbly yours dearest Shaykh,
Salawat.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Wa la-in shakartum la azidannakum, “If you show true gratitude (for My countless gifts) I will most certainly increase you.” (14:7)
Give thanks for the perfect fine form He gave you.
