Question:
Asalam Walaikum,
My brother used to be really concentrated in his studies and loving towards my parents, but as he got older, he started talking to girls and going out, lying, missing classes, and frustrating my parents. He went away from home few days ago because he promised marriage to a Christian girl who is already divorced and has a kid that’s probably 8 or 9 yrs of age, my mom and dad are crying a lot because he won’t come back and we think the girl may be using him and brainwashing him, we don’t know. Please please I humbly request you to pray for my brother so that he can return home and for his heart to turn away from that girl. If there’s any dua we can read as well, please let us know.
Shukriya. May ALLAH reward you with tremendous blessings and happiness for your work.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for your brother and your family. A hadith states that everything is according to Qadar including intelligence and foolishness. Let your parents entrust their worries to Allah Most High and rely on Him, because it is out of their hands.
However, in sha Allah sustained istighfar, sadaqa and dua will effect a change for the better.
