Regret for speaking harshly to one's mother
Q: I am 21 years old. I love my mother but I spoke harshly to her today relating to my marriage issues and she cried. My father died when I was young and she alone raised me. I've hurt her today very badly. I've said sorry to her but I just can't get it out of my head that my mother cried because of me. Can you please tell me what should I pray to erase this mighty sin off my shoulders?

Buying one's own house
Q:
1. I want to ask if it is sunnah to live in your own home, bought by oneself. Does this bring more barkah in the home? Should one prioritize this as an ultimate goal?
2. We have been married for 2 decades and faced a lot of financial challenges for various environmental factors, not our own doing. Alhumdullilah. By blessings of Allahs generosity and divine miracle we have saved a small amount sufficient to buy a small investment property to put out for rent. Because we have 3 children, we need much bigger space and more funds to buy a property to accommodate our own actual family.
If there is an option to rent for one's own family living in a place with facilities for children such as shared pool, basketball etc., and make a small commercial investment elsewhere from where we can get rental fees to support our living arrangement is this a better decision?
