Hate . Health . Sin . Repentance (Tawbah)

How can I overcome the frustration of continuously committing sins even after seeking forgiveness, and find a way to stop sinning altogether?

You need to face your sinful desires by your strong will. Sinning is the result of weakness in front of Shaitan and sinful desires. Stopping sinning depends on your will power when you decide to avoid the way of hellfire. Imam Al-Sadiq (AS) said: No one will be weak when his will power is strong.

Health . Soul . Mind . Overthinking . Tazkiyah (Purification)

I am struggling with my mental health. How can I purify my soul and mind and get rid of my obsessive overthinking and bad mental health?

The key of the peace of mind is remembering Allah in the proper way. As we read in Quran "Surely only by remembering Allah hearts gain peace" Surat no. 13 Verse no. 28. All mental problems can be tackled and cured by sincere remembering of Allah. It is recommended to recite Athaan (Azaan) at home or wherever you are on every time of Salah. Reciting Athaan has got benefits for mental health. Reciting Quran and Du'a or listening to their recitation helps a lot in gaining peace of mind. A great source of Du'a is Al Sahifa Al Sajjadiya and other supplications narrated by the Holy Prophet and Ahlulbayt. Glorifying Allah during the day and night especially before sunset and before sunrise has got great benefits as we read in the hadith that it is recommended to repeat Subhanallah WalHamdulilah Wa La Ilaaha Ila Allah Wa Allahu Akbar 10 times before sunrise and before sunset. It is also recommended to perform Wudhu before going to bed so that your sleep will be peaceful and you will get the reward of worshiping Allah for the whole night. You should seek the prayers and blessings of your parents as their prayers in your favor are very important and more likely to be accepted by Allah as long as you keep serving them and making them happy with you, even if they are not alive you should visit their grave and pray to Allah near their grave.

Husband . Wife . Forgiveness . Health

If a wife leaves her sick husband after taking care of him for 13 years, and he dies a year later, would she face punishment in Islam or on the Day of Judgment? How can she seek forgiveness for her actions?

Bismihi ta'ala

If wife no longer wishes to be with husband, for whatever reason, she will not be punished, unless she has wronged him. If she no longer had the tolerance or patience to be with him, then she is not going to be held accountable for that. She probably did her best, and it could have been too overwhelming for her.

This is more a moral situation, rather than a shar'i situation.

Can a wife divorce her husband due to sex-related and other health issues?

If the husband is totally impotent and unable to penetrate, then his wife has the right to seek divorce through the Haakim Al-Sharee'ah who is the Marji' of Taqleed who gives the husband one year to treat himself. After one year, if husband is still unable to penetrate, then the Marje' of Taqleed issues an order of Faskh which mean nullifying the marriage.
