Question
I am forty years old and I have quite a successful career, however I suffer difficulty in pronunciation particularly when I am tired or when I do not have enough sleep, therefore I hope you could help.
May Allah grant you success!
Answer
As-salamu `Alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah’s Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)
Dear brother, remember that you hold a certificate of higher studies and you are have an outstanding position. None reaches these positions but those who were chosen by their direct superiors and senior administration according to certain qualities and characteristics.
Of these qualities and characteristics are the following: Ability to good-management, taking decision, and leading others. In the same time, those who have weakness in one of these qualities which could affect their dealings with their superiors, inferiors, and clients are excluded. You have analyzed clearly your case which is your feeling of fatigue or your need to sleep; and this happens to many people. Hence, I see that you have to put a schedule for your daily issues where you can give your work and body the needed comfort, you need to sit alone, read loud, and train yourself for the correct pronunciation. You may seek the help of your brother or friend whom you trust where you read aloud before him and he draws your attention to your wrong pronunciation to correct it.
Be confident, trust your abilities in order to get rid of this problem, and observe patience eagerly and with politeness along with invoking Allah to grant you facilitation and help.
May Allah grant you
