Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

 

In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

 

If you don’t like your house, you should move out if you can. Otherwise, you should continue while remaining steadfast in the practice of Islam. One of the fundamental beliefs in Islam is that with the name of Allah nothing on earth or heaven can do any harm. So as long as we believe in Him and place our trust in Him, and seek His protection, nothing can hurt us.

 

1- Here are three tips I would suggest for achieving peace of mind and seeking the help of Allah in facing the challenges in life:

 

Be diligent in establishing regular prayer; start your days by praying Fajr and spend fifteen minutes in dhikr and du’a and reading from the Qur’an.

 

Your morning du’as should include the following:

 

Read fathihah, aayatul al-kursi and the last three surahs of the Quran and then the following:

 

Allaahumma innee asbahthu minka fee ni’amatin wa aafiyatin wa sitr fa atimma alayaa ni’amathaka wa aafiyathaka wa sitraka alayya fi al-ddunya wa al-aakhirah

 

Radeethu billaahi rabban wabi al-islaami deenana wabi Muhammadin nabiyyan wa rasoolan

Bismillaahi alladhee laa yadhurru ma’a ismihi shayun fi al-ardhi walaa fia al-ssamaa’I wa huwa al-ssameeu’ al-aleem

 

Hasbiya Allah laa ilaaha illaahuwa alayhi tawakkalthu wahuwa rabbu al-arshi al-azheem

 

2- Make lots of istighfar and ask Allah for protection and bring ease and comfort. The prophet, peace be upon him, said, “whoever makes istighfar consistently Allah will save him from all troubles and difficulties and provides for his relief and escape from all troubles.”

 

3- Never lose hope in Allah’s help. Despair is antithetical to faith.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
