I am very religious but my husband is not at all. I have been practising for about 18 months now. I keep away from bad stuff and try to be good all the time. I never miss my salah. No backbiting. I try to teach my children the best I can. I am working and he cant find work.
I try not to but sometimes I feel things are never going to change for us. We can barely afford to eat meat once a month. Fruit is very expensive. I feel for my children the most because they need proper nutrition. I feel sorry for my husband also because he is trying but he just cant find work.
I've tried and tried to get him to be more religious but hes just not interested.
Please can you pray for us?
Jazakallah khair my brothers and sisters.
:sl: it is said that someone complained that we struggle everyday. It was said to that person, but do you just about get by? They said yes we do but we struggle. It was said to that person that then surely you are complaining because you want more than you have.
Whatever is meant for you you will get. With struggles will come fruitful times but it is a test from Allah. We should never say why but we should except it and be greatful. Allah sustains and he will continue to do so.
Be patient and you will get the fruits of your patience. Inform your husband in the most beautiful of manners and leave it at that for you can only inform and ONLY Allah can guide.
Life is a struggle and money does not bring happiness. Some say it makes life easier but those who have money have other struggles just as bad if not worse. So have trust in Allah and be patient for only the best people go through hard trials and come our stronger and closer to Allah for Allah is with them and their reward shall be ETERNITY of bliss.
