Question:
My name is [private], I am the daughter of [private] and [private] from the Naqshabandi community in Órgiva, Spain.
I would like to explain my situation to Sheikh Hisham and ask for his advice.
I have just finished some studies related with cooperation to development, and I have received a scholarship to spend from 3 to 6 months working in a project of my choice. InshaAllah, I would like to accept this scholarship and look for a project related to education, so I can work with children and women, and learn from an experience that inshaAllah can be useful for my future work as a teacher in Spain.
I can choose any country from Africa, Asia or Latin America, and I find it confusing as to decide from such a big range and would appreciate your advice and permission as on where to go or which is the best way to find out ( istikhara prayer, travelling in group, proximity, Muslim country…). I don’t have a family of my own, or a job, so I have been asking Allah for guidance, and this is the only door that seems to open right now.
I am supposed to give an answer by next week, so I appreciate a quick answer.
Thank you very much, and many salams from my family.
