Also, I cannot think constructively which is destroying my professional and personal life. Kindly suggest me Duas/A’amaal which I can do to come out of this painful trauma.
Answer: We advise you to read the Holy Quran, particularly the four chapters that begin with “Qul” i.e. “Qul Howallahu Ahad”, “Qul Yaa Ayyohal Kaferoon”, “Qul A’uzo Berabbil Falagh”, and “Qul Qul A’uzo Berabbin-Naas”. At the same time, you should visit a doctor.
