Q: I am in a terrible situation. I’m a widow for 13 years and I am still living with my in-laws. Mother in law doesn’t speak to me and now won’t eat my food after 26 years. I overlook it as she is old. On the other hand I have my son recently married whose wife doesn’t want him to keep with me and calls him mothers child and fights with him all the time. Please guide me.
A: May Allah Ta`ala make it easy for you. Be calm and composed. Trust in Allah Ta`ala and don’t be upset or reprimand even though you may be right. Remember that Allah Ta`ala is with those who persevere patiently.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
