doctors and nurses wearing a white coat over their clothes

Iam a medical student.Alhamdulillah i wear niqab iwear a knee long
loose overall (white coat)which is a part of our college uniformand
wear a full length abayawhen going to market or some other place
besides college .Is it necessary to wear abayaa in the presenceof knee
long coat? .
Praise be to Allaah.
We have previously explained the main conditions with regard to
women's clothing. Please see the answer to question no. 6991 .
There is nothing wrong withwhat you mentioned of wearing a long, loose
white coat over your own clothes.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: What is required
of female doctors and others such as nurses and workers is to
fearAllaah and wear modest clothing which will not show the shape of
their limbs or 'awrahs, rather it should be moderate clothingthat is
neither too loose nor too tight, and that will cover them properly in
the mannerrequired by sharee'ah and will prevent the causes of fitnah.
End quote from Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (9/427).
And Allaah knows best.

As Salamualaikum,
Sister, you're right. Everyone has some or the other pain. Allah tests
us all. We need to have patience and keep our trust in Him. I advise
you the same.
I'll insha Allah mention some duas which will insha Allah help you
alleviate the grief you are going through.
1. In al-Saheehayn it was
reported from Ibn 'Abbaas that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say, when he felt distressed:
"La ilaaha ill-Allaah al-'Azeem ul-Haleem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb
il-'arsh il-'azeem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb is-samawaati wa Rabb
il-ard wa Rabb il-'arsh il-kareem
(there is no god except Allaah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there
is no god except Allaah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne;there is no god
except Allaah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the
noble Throne)."
2. And it was reported from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that
theProphet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say,
when something upset him:
"Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoom, bi
Rahmatika astagheeth
(O Ever-Living One, O Everlasting One, by Your mercy I seek help)."
3. It was reported from 'Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and says:
'Allaahumma innee 'abduka
wabnu (you say wabnatu instead of wabnu) 'abdika wabnu (you say
wabnatu) amatika, naasiyati bi yadika,
maadin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadaa'uka, as'aluka bi kulli ismin
huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw
'allamtahu ahadan min
khalqika aw ista'tharta bihi fi
'ilm il-ghaybi 'andak an taj'ala al-Qur'aana rabee' qalbi wa noor
sadri wa jalaa'a huzni wa dhahaabahammi
(O Allaah, I am Your slave, son (you say daughter) of Your slave, son
(you say daughter) daughter of Your female slave, my forelock is in
Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Yourdecree
over me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to You which You
named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of
Your creation, or You havepreserved in the knowledge of the unseen
with You, that You make the Qur'aan the life of my heart and the light
of my breast, and a departure formy sorrow and a release for my
anxiety)'
- but Allaah will take awayhis sorrow and grief, and give him in their
stead joy."
I pray that Allah eases the situation for you and givesyou strength to
deal them.
Aameen
Wassalamualaikum

Unfolding a rose

A young, new ustadh (teacher) was walking with an older, more seasoned
ustadh (teacher) in the garden one day. Feeling a bit insecure about
what Allah had for him to do, he was asking the older ustadh for some
advice. The older ustadh walked up to a rosebush and handed the young
ustadh a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any
petals. The young ustadh looked in disbelief at the older ustadh and
was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with
his wanting to know the will of Allah for his life and ministry.
But because of his great respect for the older ustadh, he proceeded to
try to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact... It wasn't
long before he realized how impossible this was to do. Noticing the
younger ustadh's inability to unfoldthe rosebud without tearing it,
the older ustadhbegan to recite the following poem...
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of Allah's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
ALLAH opens this flower sosweetly,
Then in my hands they die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of Allah's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Allah for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to Allah for His guidance
Each step of the way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only Allah knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

Sometimes they'll love you. Sometimes they'll hate

The people will come and go.
Sometimes they'll love you.
Sometimes they'll hate you. This tide
was never meant to be still. Step away
from time to time. And know that
only a heart fixed on the unmoving
spot can ride the waves of this ever-
changing, ever-fading life. That spot is your concern for your faith.
