Assalammu a’laykum wr. wb
Dear Syaikh Hisham,
I have been working far away from mother, father and family since last 17 months. What become my mind is the hope of family so that I can work and live near them. I have promise to mother and father to try the best way to move work and back to near family again. With leave near them hope I can serve and take care of them. What is better to do, waiting until company move me to my original city, is there problaby any chance? Or I should try to find another job. Please pray for me for opening a way to fulfill me my family hope. Pardon for my effrontery to ask this question. May Allah bless you. Thank you Syaikh.

`Alaykum as-Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you insha-Allah.
Allah Most High praised and emphasized several times tenderness and
service to parents, and Rasulullah (upon him blessings and peace)
equated it with jihad. He also said that Allah Most High loved prudence
(hilm) and patience (anat) in a person, so continue with both your
present employment which Allah Most High blessed you with, and your
intention to move closer to your parents. Insha-Allah He will open a
way.
Repeat Ya Jaami`u Ya Latif 100 times after every morning prayer to that
intention.
Hajj Gibril Haddad
