Question:
Asalam ulakum,
I need your advice on a matter that maybe a lot of people are going through.
I am a kind hearted Muslimah and would do anything and everything for the people I love in halal ways. I always Alhamdulilah think what would Prophet Muhammad PBUH say in every situation in my life. But thinking like this has caused ‘problems’ in my life because of my kind and sincere nature people have used me.
People close to me say it’s because I am too kind and keep sabr that people take advantage of my nature. They say I should not be too soft.
I have trust in Allah and cannot have an evil mind like people have nowadays.
I see a lot of women who manipulate their husbands which I cannot and will not do.
What am I doing wrong?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
If your husband is happy with you, and your family is happy, if you are content with what you are doing, and all things you do is for Allah’s sake, don’t worry about what people say, but be aware sometimes, some people don’t like to be helped, they take it as imposing on them.
