Theres this man, a step dad. He's horrible to my friend and she's been staying with just him since beginning of july. He had what looked like a miniheart attack recently. I cnt feel sorry for him? Whats wrng with me! Help!
Also, friend texted me saying it wasnt a heart attack n he's coming hme tonight. I dnt knw what to say back. I was thinking if he stayed in hospital she'd get a break frm him.
I wanna say "alhamdulillah" but so far ive got "i see" as a reply to the text.
Hw does one deal with stuff like this?!

Regardless of the fact that he's horrible to your friend, you need to remember that he's human too. He has faults, in the same way that you and I do. Make dua for her step dad that on his return he becomes more nicer towards your friend and tell her to do the same. You don't need to feel sorry for her step dad. Keep in mind that it's from Allah and we shouldn't be even the slighest bit pleased when we see or hear of someone in pain or suffering. It's not a nice thing to have to endure. That's my take on it.
You do dua that Allah (swt) gives you the softness for such people too.
One day, you might.
