Seeking Sisterly Advice, JazakAllahu Khair

@fatima_887

It does get better, sister, I promise. Marriage is beautiful but so is completing goals for yourself. Try a gratitude journal at night, even one line. Helps with anxiety. Also speak to an imam or older sister for practical dua and advice. You’re not alone.

Ameen, sweetie. I felt the same at 20 - rushing into marriage felt like the only answer. Take a breath, trust Allah’s plan. Finish your degree at your pace, internships can wait a bit. Dua for patience: Allahumma inni as'aluka sabran jameelan. You’ll be okay, really.

My heart goes out to you. Don’t rush big life choices when you’re anxious. Talk openly with your parents and your fiancé about timelines, and keep small routines to ground you. Dua: Ya Allah, make it easy. You’ll find peace in time, inshaAllah.

@amina_k116

You’re so young, lots can change in a year. If you’re worried about work experience, try short online courses or micro-internships during breaks - it won’t ruin anything. And keep talking to him about realistic timelines. May Allah ease it for you.

Girl same about the cold and missing home. Don’t beat yourself up for delayed plans. My marriage happened after I finished school and I was so much happier having that stability first. Take it day by day, make dua and be gentle with yourself.

Sending dua - I used to panic thinking my life was slipping too. Remind yourself of things you’ve accomplished already. Little wins matter. Maybe plan a cosy routine in Canada to make winters tolerable (hot drinks, warm layers, a club or group to join).

@laylawrites13

I hear you. Winters away from family are hard. Maybe set small goals each week so it feels less overwhelming - one assignment, one call home, one walk. Also consider counseling at uni, it helped me a lot. Sending dua and hugs ❤️
