Q: I'm 25 years old living with my parents. After completing my studies I got a rishta from Canada. I talked to that guy for 8 months but it was merely a simple "get to know" talk. They visited us and everything went great. Later, his dad asked for my rishta officially and the wedding date was set. After two months we had to call it off because according to the guy, he was forced into it. I had to bear the consequences.
After a year, another rishta came from a guy in South africa. We connected immediately, he came and we got engaged. He went back and after two months we got to know his PR expired and to extend it, he did a paper marriage.
Also, according to the new rules I wont be able to go there or work. Once again we had to call it off. This time I cant take this burden, I want to die - I hate my life soo much. I dont have any strength in me. Please help.
Q: l have a question about my married life.
I was married for 22 years and I have a daughter of 20 years. 8 months ago I got divorced by my husband. For the last 10 years I have been facing all kinds of family problems. He tortured me mentally and didn't even maintain any physical relations with me for the last 6-7 years. We were living in the same house but separately. He didn't talk to me or see me for months
3 years ago we were in separated for 1.5 years but for the sake of my daughter I went back to his house.After 2-3 months the situation became the same. I left my job to make him happy. He performed hajj 7 years ago but never performs a single salah. He is extremely bad tempered, uses slang words and still maintains several extra marital affairs. His tendency was to find my faults at any coast and always dominated and insulted me. He couldn't show his true colour till my mother-in law was alive because she loved me a lot.
I tolerated everything for my daughter with great hope that Allah (SWT) will fix my problem and I always wanted and want the best Judgement from Him. After my divorce I am mentally free now. I firmly believe that Allah has done the best for my daughter and me. My ex-husband has sent my daughter abroad to study as well as to make his way free. None of his family members supported his disdained activity but support me a lot.
My question is that, is my current situation a punishment for me and a reward to him? I tolerated every situation with sabr. If it is a punishment for me then what and how will be my reward be? If it is a reward for my ex husband, what will he get in return?

Q: Alhamdulillah I'm married to a Muslim widow. My wife got 3 children from her 1st husband. One of her daughters got involved with a non Muslim and she became a Christian. She left Islam about 10 years go. Me and my wife tried so much to bring her back to Islam, but she does not want to accept.
Now my question is, does Islam allow my wife to still be in contact with her murtad daughter? Do I have the right as a husband to stop my wife from keeping contact with her murtad daughter?
Q: I'm a Muslim and I was currently sitting with a group of non Muslim people. They asked me if drinking is allowed is Islam and I said it is Haram, however they asked me if it is ok to take drugs like weed and cocaine and I accidentally said it is ok to take drugs realizing later that I made a mistake and gave wrong advice as you are not allowed to take anything that can harm the body in Islam.

If I wanted, I could have kept the money but I gave it to the authorities so he can have a funeral and pay his debts and the rest can go to his family. I am need of money, like 4,000 pounds but I still did not take the money. Some relatives and work colleagues are calling me an idiot, as he was dead and a non Muslim and I need the money. Plus they saying that it would not be a sin but my heart is at peace. I want to know if what I did was right?
