Request:
Assalaam alaykum all beloved staff of eShaykh.
Salaam and love to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham and also Shaykh Gibril Haddad.
Dear Mashaykh, I’m in a quite difficult phase in my life. I’m not sure about my job (whether appropriate for Muslim or not?). I want to get married but have no secure job yet. I feel my level of spirituality decreasing at times. I take too much time for wudhu and ghusl. I get a lot of waswasa from shaytan durin ghusl, wudhu or even during Salwaat. shaytan troubles me a lot. I went to a psychiatrist some months ago. I’m on medicine. I get stress problem, I have the intention of going to Hajj this year, have already registered my name in my local organizer. I really need your advises Dear Mashaykh. Pease pray for me and help me.
Response:
`Alaykum Salam,
It is enough to say a`udhu billah etc. and then bismillah before the wudu‘. Then just do the basic necessary to the end without going back even if you have misgivings. Do not doubt in Allah’s mercy and guidance. Same with Salat, read it with diligence without lingering, then give salam and ask for Allah’s mercy. Be energetic like a job you have to finish, and leave no physical room for waswasa. Seeking and holding a job is a must for a Muslim and in sha Allah He will facilitate it for you and put a lot of blessing in it for yourself to start a family.
Recite Ya Razzaq x100 every day and try to attend Khatm-e-Khwajagan on a regular basis as it will help a lot.
Hajj Gibril Haddad
