It is desi phenomenon to give unsolicited useless advice.
My wife has some very serious complicated medical issues. I spend thousands of dollars and my time to maintain her quality of life. I even rejected a promotion offer at my work because it will require that I travel at least 50 percent of time .
Someone told my wife hey eat kalonji every morning that will rid you of your issues. She was telling me that and asking my advice on it. I told her if it was that easy why would we spend pay thousands of dollars to doctors every month ? She got the point.
My point is you go to doctor when you are sick not to imam for a dam/dum/ religious blowing. You go to a lawyer when you have to sue someone . You call a plumber when you have plumbing issues the why do you not go to a marriage counselor when you have marital issues. All Imam can do is pray for you , you can pray for yourself too. You can ask someone else pray for you too. You can ask the whole community to pray for you. The kind of marital advice an Imam can give , I can give that kind of advice too , heck the whole of GS can give that kind of advice.
Quran and sunnah is the book of marital counseling, human behavior and human psychology.
Quran and sunnah did not contain clinical research on human behavior and psychy. They are books for moral guidance and personal well being. Yes there is valuable advice to the extent how a husband and how a wife should behave and treat each other and also what are the rights and responsibilities of spouses . But if people are not following those guidelines and breaking all the religious , marital , parental , obligations Quran and Sunnah and Imam cannot help you. What if husband and wife are in deep depression and that depression is causing all the marital problems then you need Prozac, Abilify , Zoloft and/or marital counseling in addition to ait a karima ka khatam.
Do not get me wrong . I believe in the power of duaa. I believe in divine intervention , but I am a practical man too and seek practical solutions for real world problems.
Do not look for things in Quran and sunnah which are not there. Quran and sunnah does not provide a formula for Muslim ummah to make a nuclear bomb you need scientists ,engineers , physicists and books of science and technology to achieve that task. You need Dr. Qadeer not a Imam to tell you what what Quran and Sunnah has to offer in this matter.
