Leaving university and doing Aalimah course

Q: I am 19 years of age. I started University in 2014, which I didn't really enjoy much because I don't know why but I had a strong feeling to study Aalimah course. I know this is hidayat from Allah Ta'ala. I cried and cried because I wanted to study Alimah instead of university, however it was too late as it was October time. I didn't know what to do and I really wanted to do Aalimah course, so I started tajweed course Alhamdulillah. Due to not having much interest in my university studies, I failed my course. I prayed to Allah to accept me back to University but unfortunately I didn't receive the place. I prayed to Almighty to please gain me a place, and I was very very upset. Slowly I started to realise that everything happens for a reason, and now I have no objections to my creator, but sometimes I feel guilt to myself that I could have tried harder at University, but then I feel maybe my Allah wrote it that way. I can't stop my tears falling in sujood and sometimes wonder why all this happened to me, but then I pray to Allah and I have a beautiful feeling that one day Allah will reveal everything which I have gone through. Currently, I attend tajweed class. I am so happy because I have become a much more pious girl, and I never imagined that I would attend tajweed classes and become so devoted to Allah Ta'ala. I know I only do tajweed classes at the moment, but I'm happy this way. I do feel I could have started Aalimah this year but Insha Allah if Allah has written it I will. However I feel like I am studying Aalimah course by doing tajweed course. I always wanted to go uni, but I don't know what happened at uni - I just hated it and felt like it's not for me. Maybe Allah is testing me right now, and I do pray Insha Allah, Allah might give me a place at Uni again, and I have put everything in Allah's hand so I know he will take care of me and do what's best for me Insha Allah. Please can you suggest me what I could do? I am definitely going to carry on with my tajweed course. I am worried because I am still 19 and I haven't yet started my career. I never thought it will go this way.

Marital problems

Q: I got my nikaah done six months ago. Rukhsati was due on my visa procedures as my husband is living in US. Everything was all good but after few months of our marriage my in laws seems to be wanting to end this relation there reason is they have bad feelings they feel I am not right for my husband and they want us to separate. My husband, me and my family don't want to end this marriage. My husband is confused to choose what's best. He wants this marriage to workout. He has been trying to convince his parents and they don't seem to change their minds although not giving a proper reason they just say its their bad feelings. Both the parents and me and my husband did isthkhara before nikkah and we were positive about it. I don't know why is this happening what is right thing to do here?

Treating the daughter in-law with kindness

Q: A cousin of mines would like to know about the following circumstances. She stays with her in-laws. Cooks twice a week for the family and helps out when she can. Once a week she visits her parents for a few hours. This is according to her husband's wishes and also keeps her parents happy. However her in-law's especially her mother in-law does not like this. She complains to my cousin of shirking her responsibility but she will never say anything in front of my cousin's husband. Is this true? What exactly is her responsibility to her husband and her parents? Or to his? What will Allah Ta'ala hold her accountable for?

Polygamy

Q:

1. Can a husband kiss his wife on lips, hand, cheek and forehead in front of his other wives?

Can all the 4 wives stay together in one house in 4 different rooms each?

Can the 4 wives offer nafl salaah behind her husband in jamaat? They're interested in praying long rakaats, that's why.

Should a person not consider adopting polygamy because it is frowned upon by his countrymen, relatives and parents?

Is a person allowed to marry more than one wife and upto 4 because he wants to have more children (wants children so that he can honor sahaba by giving them their names and make them great ulema of deoband maslak so that they can bring inqilaab in our society) and has more desire for intercourse while his wife is impure, and lastly so that he can change the life of his 4 wives with his piety and make them a strong adherent of sunnat e rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?

What if parents and wife don't agree for polygamy even after stating sharee reasons? What should one do? Keep quite and listen to them or make them agree to this with hikmat?

Ruqyah

Q: I have been too much worried about the marriage issue of my daughter for three years. Many proposals came for her but nobody return who came to my house to see my daughter. An aalim told me that listening to 'ruqyah' is a treatment of some kind of seher, jinnat and evil eye. So I started to listen, but after two days I saw in my dream that me and my husband were going toward my car which was parked somewhere, as I got closer to my car I felt somebody inside already. As I opened the door of car it was not like car from inside, it was like empty house and a girl was moving here and there madly like she was finding the way out but unable to find the way. When I got up it was 4:00 am and I was very scared. I want to know whether this dream has any connection with listening to ruqyah?
