I am very sad and my whole day just goes wrong and I feel sad and very down throughout the whole day, even my head and eyes start to hurt. I have made many duas and told my teachers to make dua; I have even started to recite durood shareef however the problem is just getting worse day by day<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>As-sal\u0101mu \u2018alaykum wa-rahmatull\u0101hi wa-barak\u0101tuh.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Brother in Islam,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">May Allah Ta\u2019ala alleviate you from your predicament.
