Q: I recently got married and my parents agreed to the marriage under the assumption that my husband is in medical school and will become a doctor. However, my husband is failing and is borderline of being kicked out. I am extremely stressed and need help in asking Allah Ta'ala to keep him in medical school and graduate. I am fearful of what our future will be like and how disappointed my parents and his parents will be. He has a meeting with the deans coming up and that will determine whether he stays in school or not. Please advise me of any duas or acts I can do to help keep my husband in school and to change the minds of the deans to allow him to stay in school. Please keep me and my husband in your duas.

Q: I have been married for four years Alhamdulillah and I have never been pregnant. My husband and I found out before eid ul adha that I was 5 weeks pregnant but I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. It was heart breaking for both of us. While I was pregnant I saw a dream in which I saw blood and I started crying. And exactly a few days after I suffered a miscarriage. I also dreamt that my husband and I and a little boy is performing tawaaf of the  Kaabah and some woman asks me who this little boy is and I tell her that he's my son. She says that you will have a daughter the following year. I often at night see some dark shapeless creature watching me at the side of my bed and it scares me. Before my miscarriage when I was 5 weeks pregnant I saw two dark shadows near my pillow side. Although miscarriage is a test from Allah but these black shadows scare me. Can you answer me are they shayateen trying to scare me or something else. Please answer what both my dreams mean? My mother and I have seen so many dreams of me having a baby but I have not had a successful pregnancy. I have gone into depression many times after loosing my baby. Please help.
