Endless Dua

Question:

Assalamualaikum

I been praying for the same dua for almost past 4 years. I have listened to preach saying that we are allowed to make the dua because Allah wants to grant it. How do I keep myself motivated and think positive of Allah’s planning and timing?

Answer:

Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah. 

Try to lose count of how many years you have been making a duaa. Be a servant lost in love. Don’t be an accountant.

Answer:

Saleh al ayam means the few righteous days. Focus on spiritual guidance and high manners. Find a murshid and remember the words of Shaykh Abd al Qadir to his Shafii student about the study of aqida: it does not help in the grave.

Husband Wife Fighting in Ramadan

Salam, I am a mureed of Shaykh Nazim.
My wife and I have have been married for nearly 20 years we have 5 kids. We argue alot and even in Ramadan where I have broke my fast many times due to my aggression. My kids are now mentally being affected.

Answer:

Waalaikumussalam

Mawlana teaches the way of wilaya. Sainthood. Means endurance, love, tenderness, peace and patience heart and mind, speech and action. Marriage is a big avenue of openings. Children bring an even bigger opening. Ego knows no limit to transgressions. What happened? Wake up and be the guardian of your happiness and theirs in dunya and akhira. We have no excuse even if Allah is Most Forgiving. Stop breaking hearts and rid yourself of anger or die trying.
