Hi everyone,
I’m sorry to share my burden with you, but I can only bear so much before I break apart. Things have been complicated for a while… Every year there seems to be a problem that befalls upon us and makes our life a bit more difficult. When a problem does arise, it doesn’t just arise from one corner but from every possible corner that we are left with dealing with multiple problems on our plate at one instance. It’s been over a year since my mom got sick (she’s a very strong woman and despite the extreme pain she is suffering she still keeps going and smiling for us) – it was extremely difficult for me and my big bros to watch her situation – we have never seen her so weak so fragile. It took over six months to identify the source of her condition despite visiting the top doctors in both Canada and US – and even now with the medication her condition is oki (albeit far from being cured). We tried contacting an Imam in Pakistan and he gave some verses of the Quran to read along with burning “Taweez” but unfortunately they have not been successful and her condition did not get any better. Furthermore, our financial situation has taken a turn for the worse – my dad income is no longer sufficient to afford the lifestyle we are living in forcing my dad to take debts… I am trying to help with my savings but I can only do so much. I’m 20 and a full time student – I’m now looking for a good job but I guess there are people far more qualified out there than me… Our house used to beam with happiness, richness and joy but nowadays all I sense is tension, sadness and difficulty. I want to be strong. I want to become a pillar of hope and support for my family, but with each passing days I’m losing faith in myself.
I try to read my five prayers regularly every day. After each prayer, I recite the verses of the Quran, read my dua’s and “wazeefas” (for distress, richness, difficulty…). I read Surah Al-Yasin to begin my day, Surah Al-Wakiya at Maghrib and Surah Al-Kursi before going to bed. I read my Durood Shareef throughout the day. I try to give regular donation with my own earnings to the Mosque in hope of seeing better days and that this money can help someone in need. My parents also read the prayers regularly. My dad is a hard working and selfless man. His earnings not only go to support the house and living style of me and my bros, but also his mother (my grandma) and his brother (and raise his brother’s children). We never speak ill of anyone yet things in our house seems to be falling apart.
I was wondering if there is something I can do more – either recite or pray to Allah (SAW) to make the situation in my household better. Inshallah, I am hoping to find a job and provide a little bit to my family (although I am having a hard time just finding one…), but even then I need to pay my tuition fees, my bills… it’s complicated.
Ever since I was a child, I felt in my heart that Allah (SAW) has always fulfilled all my wishes and Duas – and I have always been grateful. I know sometimes Allah (SAW ) keeps our Dua’s guarded in order to prevent something bad/bigger difficulty to befall upon us. I feel this is perhaps what is happening because it could have been worse…
I am not complaining by any means. On the contrary, I am extremely grateful to Allah (SAW) for giving me a roof upon my head and all the luxuries one could desire. My family is not strictly religious and I’m not a perfect child but I just want to help and make things better for me and my family. Perhaps, there is something I can read or do – that any of you may suggest. It would be extremely appreciated.
I hope I have not overwhelmed anyone with my story. I will forever be grateful to anyone who reads this, keeps me and my family in its prayer or helps me out.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
