Question:
Assalaamualaykum,
Ya Sayyidi, Forgive me for my lack adab.
Alhamdulillah, my other problems solved one by one. Many thanks to Allah, MSN, MSH and all of the shuyukh in Naqshbandi Thariqah.
Now, I am in financial trouble, as I wrote before, I was took a job which I thought can give me a way out to my financial problem. But instead I am getting out of trouble, I feel very far away from Allah. Then I resigned.
Now I took another job, which is only 1/3 income from my latest job. I am hoping this job will not make make my heart far from Allah.
Please pray for me, I am afraid I am doing the wrong things which I thought is right but wrong in Allah’s perspective. I haven’t pay rent for 2 months now. And many other difficulties.
Part 2:
Assalaamualaykum
Only a few day ago I wrote email to eshaykh asking dua for my problem. Especially for my rent. Alhamdulillah today I paid my rent in miraculous way.
Doesn’t matter if this email and the email I wrote are not published. The only matter is my faith is getting stronger. That Allah, Sayyidina Rasulullah and all my Shuyukh will never leave me alone.
Now I am asking your du’a again, this time is for my credit card. I used that because of my foolishness. That i am not having enough faith so I buy my family needs by using that card.
Forgive me ya Sayyidi for always doing wrong things. Please forgive me for my bad adab.
Wassalaamualaykum Wr. Wb.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
A job is not going to make you feel close to Allah, but you must do it as you are obliged to support yourself. That is part of Jihad an-Nafs and in fact will bring you closer to Allah by fulfilling your obligations and giving you the ability to pay sadaqa and help those in
need.
