Improving the Salaah of One’s Child

Question:

Assalaamu ‘alaikum

Respected ‘Ulama

I have a nine year old son who has alhamdulilah been trying to read all his salaah. However, in the last year or few months, he has been reading very fast, basically just doing actions.

How do we, as parents, guide him with salaah?

How to Repent and Reconnect with Allah

Question:

Assalaamu ‘alaikum

Respected ‘Ulama

I am a teenage girl from a pious family. I do perform namaaz, the sunnah rakaats, recite the Quraan and engage in zikr - but most of the time, I just do all of these robotically, and rarely do I perform them with sincerity.

Although I come from a very pious family, my heart is filled with filth. I find it extremely hard to lower my gaze, and unknown to my mother, I watch videos late at night and I read romantic novels, but at the same time, I also perform Tahajjud Salaah and other ‘ibaadah (though rarely with sincerity).

Often, I fantasize about something haraam in my mind when I go to bed and continue fantasizing until I fall asleep - may Allah forgive me. I feel lost, and at times, there’s like an empty void, and although everyone’s happy around me, I feel so lonely.

Mental Abuse from Husband

Question:

Assalaamu ‘alaikum

Respected ‘Ulama

I would like to know what are the rights of a woman who is being mentally and verbally abused by her husband? 

Is it right for my husband to keep picking on my past and my parents, saying that they are faulty, and that they are old and set in their ways. If they are faulty, do I have to hear about it every day, whether we are arguing or not? 

Can a husband boss his wife if she doesn’t want to do something saying that she has to follow his rules and do as he says because he is the husband, the man of the house and does she have to have an explanation for everything? If she doesn’t want to do something or go somewhere does she have to give him her reason?

Parents Fighting

Question:

Assalaamu ‘alaikum

Respected ‘Ulama

Kindly advise me on the following matter:

My parents fight a lot. They scream at each other and do not get along. This happens every few months and lasts for a few weeks or months. Both are at fault.

This makes me angry and depressed. I understand that it is not my fault and this is a test from Allah Ta‘ala, however I don’t know what to do to help or solve the problem.

Please advise me and make du‘aa for us.

Pornography

Question:

Assalaamu ‘alaikum

Respected ‘Ulama

I have a problem. I constantly watch pornography. This started after I was getting down about not getting married and I accidentally came across a site. I have tried to quit but I’m finding it difficult to do so.

I have definitely lessened my time with porn over the past few months but it still happens. Sometimes, while I’m watching, I start regretting and close it. Sometimes, just after I type in the title, I close and leave, but sometimes, I watch for 20 minutes and I hate that.

Please advise me. I hate doing this.
