Dear Aunt Noor

I am Hani, 25 year old and I live in Sana`a. There were some problems between me and my older brother, so I  left home and went to live in my grandmother’s house. Until now,  I  am still living with her and I am very happy, But a week ago, my brother left the house with his wife to his own new house, so my  mother asked me to go back home. First I was happy, but then,  I felt very terrified !! I am really afraid to go back home. The problem is I DO NOT KNOW WHY?

Dear Hani,

Thank you for your question. Since you don’t know why you are afraid to go back home, then no one would know!!!

You are 25 years, and you understand your current situation. Are you afraid from your brother that he might hurt you? If no Then what? Can you live the whole life away from your family? 

Since you don’t know why then I can understand that the matter between you and your brother is not that big. Whatever are your problems with your brother, you can solve it easily by talking. Also, you can’t stay far away from your home and family your whole life. You should forgive each other and forget about it. Even if you feel that you don’t want to. Do it for your parents. You don’t know how much it hurts them when they see their children don’t love and respect each other. Why don’t you be the starter and talk to him and ask for his forgiveness, even if it was not your fault. Be better than him and start talking to him.

 Go back home. Your family needs you as well as you need your family next to you. Our prophet taught us not to have quarrels with anyone for more than three days. That happening between brothers and for a long time is even more dangerous!

Waiting to hear from you good news in the near future.
