Zina of the eyes and masturbation

Q: What should I do if I am unable to stop myself from committing fornication? Even in the month of Ramadhaan I committed adultery of the eyes and organs although I was observing fast? Whenever sexual desire increases, I could not stop committing zina. I m working 6 and half hours to earn money. Only way to stop myself from this sin is to stay in mosque. But it is almost impossible to remain inside mosque all the time. What should I do? Leave the job and join madarsah so that I get engaged in a good environment? Please advise me.

Marital problems

Q: I am a 22 years old married girl. It's been 2 years that I am married and have no children yet because my husband wanted me to study further. I live with my in-laws and I am having problems with the way I feel ignored time to time. I sometimes am the centre of attention and other times they're all in a gloomy mood and I feel uncomfortable sitting between them. I want to be heard and I am having anxiety issues and other problems because of the stress I am taking. Kindly tell me an effective dua for value, importance and love between me and my family and a happy life, I would be grateful.

Doubts

Q:

Salaah: During prayer, I have a problem to recite properly and I focus on correct pronunciations. So I have to repeat again and again. Due to this my prayer goes too long. Even my four rakaats complete in 20 to 25 mins (one rakat takes 5 to 7 mins ). Zuhr takes one hour 10 mins. Please help me.

Wudu: If a person pours and splashes water on face three times and later on during salaah some doubts comes to mind weather his face was fully wet or not so what should he do? Continue to perform salaah or break the salaah and do wudhu again?

Informing the parents of a teenage girl who is involved in an affair

Q: I recently came to know that my cousin sister who is just 14-15 years is having an affair. What should I do now? Should I tell her parents about her? Wouldn't it be called as "chugli" ? I mean I have heard that Allah taala said that " tum zamin walo ki izzat or raaz ki hifazat karo, Asmaan wala tumhari izzat or raaz ki hifazat krega". I tried talking to her personally and she agreed to leave him but it was all fake, she is still in touch with him. Is there any dua to recite which can bring her on the right path? I don't want her to ruin her life and career, she is just a kid , I am really very upset. Please reply soon so that I can bring her out of such things.

Marital problems

Q: I hope you can somewhat help me with my problem even though it's all in Allah's hand. I've been married for 2 years Alhamdulilah. I love my husband and we connected because of Islam from the beginning. We are practicing our faith together but his parents and sister are putting so much fitnah. I'm 7 months pregnant Alhamdulilah. I've had problems beforehand with them because they are very controlling and blame me for their son changing. I explain to them we all have to change when we get married and even before In order to go to jannah. His father is an alcoholic and violent and his mother is a pathological liar. My husband is torn because he wants to make things right because in Islam we have to be forgiving. We live in a 2 family home and things have escalated with his father threatening to hit me because he wants his son to listen to them and only them. He watches haram on tv. Even though I don't see it, it's on the recently browsed on my tv. She has smoked cigarettes in the house knowing I have asthma and hasn't apologized. The list of things can go on and on. I want an apology. I've been stressed out so much and it's not healthy on me or my baby. It's easy for someone to forgive their own siblings and parents. This has also made more disputes arise between my husband and I. I love him and know they are his parents but I don't want to give in without an apology. It's killing me inside. I don't think he should forgive so easily without an apology and forget what his parents and sister have said and done to me especially being pregnant. I'm so stuck.

Parents not happy with one engaging in extra ibaadat

Q: I am a very hard worker and I have studied btech but I have one paper. That too will be cleared within two months. But my parents are in trouble and somewhat sad about me that I spend a lot of my time in ibaadat so can't Allah make everything easy that my parents will be happy because when I do prayers more, then I feel like I am blessed and everything goes good, but sometimes like in morning due to some home work, I feel from inside if somebody tells me anything and how should I make my parents happy.

Marital problems

Q: I have a question regarding divorce. Me and my wife have had a lot of problems. And we end up living separated. But I said once that I give her divorce. But we lived together after that. Then we got problems. I didn't have problems with her. But her family had a lot of problems with me. And I shifted from my wife. I live in Norway. And my wife applied separation in Norwegian law. But I didn't give her divorce. But her parents got some kind of fatwa from somebody in Pakistan that it's a valid divorce. My question is, is it a valid divorce? How is that possible? She wants to comeback as she told me two months ago.
