🕌 Worship in the home · #91

As a second wife, I feel I have nowhere to turn. How do I make Allah my main support?

No complaint brings more peace than complaining to Allah, who never tires of listening and has full power to change your situation. The Prophet Ya'qub said: “Indeed, I only complain of my distress and my sorrow to Allah” (Surah Yusuf 12:86), and that is the example to follow when people cannot help. Increase prayer, supplication and dhikr, because “in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest” (Surah ar-Ra'd 13:28). Pour out everything you have held in during prostration, and ask for strength and a way out. This does not mean you cannot seek help from knowledgeable people; but the main support that never disappoints is Allah. See du'a & prayer.
