Asalamu alaikum waramatullah wabarakatuhu. I am a Muslim who strive in my best capability. I’m from modest background and I’ve always been struggling to make it in life. Alhamdulillah for where I am today. My educational background is nothing to write home about, but thanks to the God given talent and intrinsic intelligence which has always kept me on top of academic games. To those that know my background, my brilliance amazes them. It is now becoming so frequent that whenever I’m about to make a cogent progress in life, it doesn’t always come easy, some difficulties always set in. From O level to gaining admission into university to graduation. Despite my cognitive capability, I still faced unnecessary difficulties in almost all my endeavors. I studied one of the best courses in one of the best universities in Nigeria. My elder brother was a genius too, but he died a tragic death while pursuing his dream. A first class student whose life was cut short in a penultimate year. He also struggled a lot before he could secure admission. He struggled for almost everything in life but death closed his eyes before seeing those things actualized. That was more than decade ago. I’m beginning to sense some synergy in our life pattern, the struggling against oceans of difficulties but Alhamdulillah!!! I always surmount them with immense prayer and determination but it is wearing me out. Recently, I planned to get married, date has been fixed. Again! Unexpected tragedy happened again, this is making the fixed date gloomy again. I’m getting tired of everything!! The zeal for immense prayer is getting reduced drastically. All these difficulties are wearing me out. I’ve discussed this with close people around me but the solutions they proffered are not unrelated with Shirk. I vow not to associate any thing with Allah.

What is the way out, Akhee!!!

The answer to all issue is du'a and Sabr. Discuss your matters only with people of Sunnah that would give you solutions based on Qur'an and the authentic traditions of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam and not opinions that would either take you out of Islam or reduce your iman/good deeds.
