Q: I finished school and I've decided to do Aalim course. I've told my family that this is what I want to do with my life and many disagreed saying that how will I provide for myself and family. I am in a state of sadness because of the lack of my family's support and I don't know what to do.
Q: For a while now I have been intending to attend a darul-Uloom to study Hifdhz and Alim Studies but people have been feeding me with negative thoughts. I will be turning twenty soon and people discourage me by saying that if I become an Alim then how will I get married while I am studying and how am I going to earn a living when I will only finish my studies when I am 30 and they say that I wont get a job because there are no jobs for Aalims available here is South Africa. Even my own family are against my opinion but I would love to take on Islamic studies and become an Aalim Insha Allah. Is there any advice one could give me?
