Question
Sir, I am a teacher here in a college. I am married and Allah has bestowed me with three beautiful children. Sir, since last year I have been deeply depressed and restlessness, losing confidence and fearful. I fear the future for the events going on everywhere around us of cruelty, barbarism and injustices. I am disturbed due to the TV programs particularly cartoon channels. I rarely watch TV but my children watch these and I find myself unable to divert their attention from these channels. I am disturbed at college where bribes and approaches are practiced regularly and I feel that my efficiency is decreasing day by day. Sir, I accomplish all the household work at home. I teach my children myself. I try my best to do justice to my students. My subject is history and I am teaching Islamic history nowadays. I try to tell them the reality behind the events as far as I can understand. But despite all this I am not satisfied. I feel my dreams useless. My efforts seem totally useless to me. I keep praying that Allah may let me, my children and family understand the right path, show us the real difference between right and wrong, and give me the satisfaction. Sir, please tell me what should I do. I am confused and at a loss to understand the situation.
Answer
Once upon a time a teacher decided to test his students to distinguish the obedient from the rebel ones. So he announced to the class that he would leave the classroom for an hour. In reality he was watching the pupils very closely from a hidden window that supposedly none of the pupils were aware of.
