Request:
Salaam aleykum,
I am 5 months pregnant with a Muslim man who has no interest in marrying me. I love him and can’t think of anyone else but him for a husband, and as he is, father of my child. But I’m losing hope, he is not making any efforts.
Please, pray for us. I need Your guidance.
I thank you and send my prayers to Shaykh Nazim and all of you.
Response:
Alaykum Salam,
The first step in helping yourself is to realize you have made a big mistake and a sin in cohabiting outside marriage. Have mercy on yourself first, by protecting yourself from what harms you in this world and the next. Put your hope in Allah and then in yourself because you cannot trust someone who used you and gave you no loyalty, especially with a child in your care soon. Try to connect with a good Muslim family or
community for trustworthy company and advice. Keep salat and make dhikr
for your own spiritual growth. May Allah guide him and support you.
