Assalamualykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu brothers and sisters i am in need of duas...suggestions..advice...motivation..anything. ..any help..plzz! Are there any doctors who do niqaab?do you know any,seen any? well inshAllah i am sure there are and i desperately need to get in touch because.. i started my niqaab only after i graduated from med school in india...so i havent really worked with it... i dint/don want to do my Masters but family pressure etc and plus mayb i feel guilty too...abt not making use of this ilm that Allah taala has bestowed..(alhumdulilah)..and fear i ll b questioned abt it on the final day.. honestly..the stress sometimes gets to me..i mean i am jus soo conscious with my niqab sometimes...its been 9mnths but trust me..at times ...i feel i am still new to it...family does give me a hard time sometimes..esp since i started doin so at home too (n guess what..my dad doesnt know yet..he ll be coming soon...m freaked!)...( i know i know..its my weak imaan and nothin else!!!!!) now the problem is...can i actually persue my Masters in a medical field somewhere in peace??atleast if i study,work..my family will let me be in peace n wont bother abt the parda so much i am so confused...everytime i think of doin an Md ,i think of all the other stuff..where,how etc etc... n wat hurts most is that even muslim countries have issues...i came to Qatar thinkin its a muslim country and they wont have issues and since i have family here etc etc...but i was wrong..i met the head of the only hosp here that offers residency and not to mention he ,his asst were so cold ..inspite of being muslim himself,he actually asked if i was muslim while i was clad head to toe..n then he answered for himself..'oh course u are...but most fields wont accept u for residency as its important to communicate etc etc..but ill tell u ur wastin time n if ur too strict with ur veil ,well its ur own risk...n blah blah...i was stunned..i jus kept mum n left...n cried the whole day..and have been a mess since i jus wish i knew sisters doing Masters in medicine fields and doin the niqaab..i ll jus move to where ever they are...my dad s obsessed abt me goin to USA n studying there and becoming a great doctor..he got me the visa but i dont want to go... a)i ll be living alone..as in no mahram(so there s that issue too) b)doing niqab there freaks me (i know many sisters do it there n better n truly..mashAllah..m jus sooo weak!!) shd i opt for a non medical field?? my brother suggests MBA..MHA...to get into the administration part...but then again..where with no qualms niqab!? wat makes it worse is its soo hard to get into a residency programme anywhere..still worse...i lack the drive to work hard n do so coz honestly ,in my final yr the whole medical stress jus got to me n i jus wanted to get over wit it n study deen n settle down etc but din happen..my family plans somethin else..so i feel if i get to know sisters who do so...i want to join in.. the thing is...i fear myself..that under this pressure..Allah forbid ..i give up my niqab due to continuous taunts of my parents..family..workplace.. etc..etc..i feel so useless sitting at home not knowin wat to do..i jus dont want to compromise on deen for any reason..i d rather n i sometimes soo want to give up on this carrier n switch to somethin simple.. i did do istikhara regarding masters...as usual...din c a dream or anythin clear but somethin deep inside tells me i shd go for it( though my other inner half soo wants to ignore that voice!)..and my Shyakh sahab db too advised to go ahead.. forgive me for the haphazard post..i am jus really stressed.. please make dua for my istiqamat ,imaan and ease... may Allah taala reward you all with goodness in both worlds..ameen JazakAllah khair for being patient with this post! wasslamalykum
