Assalammualaikum ya sayidi,
Can you please pray for my parents to have a change of heart. I want to get married and have been together with this girl for 5 years. But my parents doesnt allow me to get married because they said i need to get a job first. I have explain to them countless time, let me get married first insyaAllah the door will open. For your information i have been jobless for 8 months now. Help me please. I am trying my best not to disobey my parents, maybe they are ignorant i dont know. please pray for them. this girl has been waiting for me and she is already working. I am so sorry for my lack of adab, currently i feel so angry with my parents for this reason. please pray for us.

wa `alaykum salam,
Go out and get any kind of job, as Mawlana Shaykh Nazim often says, “even selling tomatoes in the bazar.” When your parents see your determination to support your family they will insha-Allah accept to move forward. Our mashaykh don’t like to see divisions and anger in the family, so look for the window which Allah has opened when He shut the door on your last job.
And Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham is insha-Allah praying for you.
