In reply to Syeda. Salaam. I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I make dua Allah swt do what is best for you. You may not realise but sometimes losing people can be a positive, Allah swt will never let you down and will always replace the bad with good. Have faith in He who created you and your desires, you deserve more than a guy who doesn't want to be with you. Especially if he does not have the courage to speak to you about it. May Allah swt bless you with peace and happiness.

I am reading this right now. At the moment I am under severe stress. (Due to husband leaving suddenly and filing for divorce. As I am aware I have no problems in my marriage and we were happy togther. This article is really helping me.
I have a humble requst-if you all could make dua for me that he see’s sense and returns back home with the help of Allah.

He brings us to our knees – the perfect position to pray. A perfect ending to a great article.

This is insightful. A number of times in my life, the most heavy being at the moment, I have been troubled in such a way as I could not find anyone or anything to help me directly about it, because somehow they seem to be problems difficult enough to explain that no one available to me could even understand, and no one can offer any help or useful suggestions. And I wonder, why is this, and how come everyone else has problems they can look up in books, or learn solutions from each other – many of whom I have helped myself. It always seemed to me to be “intentional”, and I became bitter and resentful because no one can help me when I’m troubled, yet I can help others. It seemed unfair. Fortunately I did not lose faith because I reasoned that even if He likes me less, He’s God; it’s not like a little human like me can object to it.

But in the end, each time, because there was nowhere left, I spoke to God. I admit that had my problems entirely been like those experienced by the people I know and have heard of, I would have relied on myself to solve them. Sr. Yasmin’s article has made me consider that perhaps it has *always* been intentional, and the end result *is* the purpose and it’s not because God or “fate” just likes me less.

I am also directly witnessing exactly the same thing on someone else – the first time I’m experiencing it from the outside rather than being the subject. But he is even more prideful and stubborn than I am (or “was”, hopefully), which makes me afraid for his sake and sad. But in a way it gives me hope for now, because it means God is still bothering to call him.

Shukran for this very relevant script, i didn’t finish reading the whole story because i was reading all the comments and discussions on the comment area. i was fascinated at how our dear readers including I my self was caught up in the discussion. it’s just a proof that every single person on this site was had all the same situations, and its seeking the immediate results of their du’a or prayers because they needed it or we need it…in my humble opinion and experience, i was once in the same situations, but i just keep my faith and du’a continuously for a long time and keep waiting also for a long time, and i see some results are coming and happening. the merry thoughts is that, lets not lose hope for him (Allah) for he will give it to us in the right time, right place and right way. We maybe sometimes feel the rush that sometimes it leads us to go to some shortcuts just to fix the problem or what we need, but in time, Allah has the best in store for us in the future and that is what exactly happened to me…while we are in the process of waiting for the result, it couldn’t be denied that along the way, we will encounter some difficulties coming our way, but its just a part of the test, a test which is making us more strong person, making our faith more tight and closer to him (Allah) because Allah (swt)will never give such trials on mankind and his creatures which he knows that we cannot handle, he will give us such terrible and very painful trials, test and more suffering, but we must not also forget that in every trials there is a triumphant along the way even though it will take a long time before we can have its results… Ameen…ameen..ameen to all our du’as and prayers that may we have it all in Allah’s graceful time…
