Question:
I am [private] year old woman. It has been one year since I said goodbye to a man I loved who was not Muslim and he could not become Muslim. I waited my entire life to get married and have children. I live in a non-Muslim country. After so many years of being alone, this kind,loving man came into my life but I had to say goodbye. I have never received an interest from a Muslim man, and my family does not help me.
Shaykh, when do I stop hurting? It has been one year, but I still hurt inside, I still cry, I still feel sad and lonely. When will the hurt stop??? Please, I’ve tried everything, every dua imaginable.
Response:
wa `alaykum salam,
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.
Recite: Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji`un 70x daily to ease the burden.
Recite Allahuma ‘kfinee bi-halalik `an haramik w’aghninee bi-fadlika `amman siwak 70x daily to seek a halal marriage. Perhaps Allah will open his heart to Islam.
