Q: I am very depressed even though I pray salaah five times a day and sometimes I pray tahajud too. I read Quraan 3 or 4 times a day. I think that I am disobedient towards my parents...
My mother always wants me to study but when I open my books I cant focus. Moreover I have applied for a job at the bank but when I open the books to study, thoughts come to my mind that it is haraam and Allah will punish me. My mother wants me to work and I am very depressed.
I make lots of dua and offer nafl prayers too. I ask Allah to help me so that no one will be displeased with me.
Please advice me so that I can come out of this depression.
A: For a woman to go out of the house is incorrect, and studying for a higher job is even worse. In these matters you do not have to listen to your mother. Respectfully just decline.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
