# 1 and # 3 sound particularly painful. But it inspires people like me who still have a lot to accomplish in life. God bless you sister, and hope your list of non-painful accomplishments continue to grow

Salam to all brothers and sisters, I was wondering if there are any books on or by Ayatollah Bahjat in English that one can purchase online? If anyone knows of anything similar, please let me know. I have visited Ayatollah Bahjat's website, but I figured that most of his books are in Farsi, and even the Farsi ones are also not generally available for sale to people living outside Iran. Please help.

thank you, sister

Thank you for this post. We need more content on Ayatullah Bahjat!

Dear brothers and sisters in faith, I am undergoing severe personal crisis at the moment. It looks like things are taking a turn for the worse every passing day. I have been so depressed lately and I sometimes feel all my prayers are going doing the drain. this depression is affecting me so severely that I not only feel mentally anxious, numb and overwhelmed at all times, but I also feel physically unwell.I am not sure if other people too have felt so depressed and hopeless at some point in their lives that they feel their life has no meaning, purpose or value. I'd be very grateful if anyone can share any short but powerful duas that I can read. I know the long acts of supplications like Zeyarat-e-Ashura for 40 days, but I feel so mentally tired, hopeless and physically sick that I don't feel that I have the stamina to even sit for an hour and focus on one thing. Also, please remember me in your prayers. I feel I am a terrible human being and maybe its some form of punishment that I am going through all these problems and maybe God doesn't listen to me because I am not a devout, pious religious person. I am on the verge of collapsing. So, please help me out through your prayers. Maybe God listens to your prayers for me. Waiting for some miracle. Haydar

@WisdomAndAnswers - Be careful, never say YES, even if you doubt your choice right now, no matter how slight your doubt is. If you are for any reason uncomfortable now, don;t expect that your feelings will change or that you will 'learn to adjust' magically after Nikaah is performed! So please think very carefully about whatever you decide.

everyone has a right to expect to get married to an attractive person. Why is it wrong if it's the girl who's thinking of rejecting a guy? In the usual course, thousands of girls get rejected by guys based upon their (girl's) looks.

That's a very limited understanding of what Feminism means. In fact, there are many types of feminisms, and the use of a single label "feminism" has been frowned upon.

@Iqbal1214 most of these books are in Urdu, English and Farsi. Hope it helps.
