Feeling despondent

Q: I am really very frustrated with everything. It looks like I have nothing to do with life. First I was not obedient to Allah but I prayed namaaz. Then from the past two years I started to go to Dars and attending lectures on Islam and I got so near to Allah. I told each and every problem to Allah and I felt so happy with that. It was just like Allah is in front of me, listening to me, understanding me. Sometimes I just cry and I feel like Allah is listening to my cry and I don't have to say a word. I am so alone from the past two years. I left every sin that I did but there is no sukoon in my life from the past few months. I am going far from Allah and I don't know what is the reason because I left every sin. Now I am again getting into some sort of them because fear surrounds me everywhere. I never made Allah Happy neither human being. I do a work with good intentions, for helping others, but that thing goes wrong and people start thinking that I am not a good person. Now I am just barehanded. Nothing is with me neither Allah, nor my family, nor anyone else. I have lost my way. I just want to die and meet Allah. Bas, I need nothing more. Zindagi ka maqsad khatam ho chuka hai. Kindly help me. I have no friend to tell my problems. I can't trust human beings.

Difficulties and trials

Q: I have been facing some very very tough situations from many years. I was too sad and I gave up on living but somebody told me that Allah Ta'ala puts people he loves into all kinds of situations and troubles. If this is true, then I will face every problem happily. Could you please clarify this matter for me?

Giving advice

Q: How do I advise a non-Muslim that is going through severe depression and has been suicidal for many years? He is confiding in me. He does have financial problems, but there is much more that he has not shared. I feel that he would be insulted if I try offer any financial help. He says that he finds no true benefit with counselors or psychologists etc. I feel he has some mental condition. He says that he day-dreams about dying and is not happy with the materialistic society. Anyhow, I am just trying to raise his spirits and give him hope. Is this correct? Please advise.

Encouraging one's children to accept Islam

Q: I was a Hindu and have two daughters. I have married a Muslim man after accepting Islam but my daughters 14 and 12 years old have not accepted Islam. We are trying our best to make them understand and accept Islam. If they don't accept Islam what should I do? Please let me know. Am I at fault? Does Islam say this that if children do not accept Islam then no relation should be kept with them?

Marital issues

Q: I am married for four month. My wife doesn't initiate sex with me, every time I have to go close to her to do sex. In Islam can a husband can kiss his wife's private part? I am frustrate because my wife doesn't show her feelings toward me.

Black magic
