YOU DONT HAVE TO WORK TO GAIN THIS WORLD BUT TO GAIN HEREAFTER......... Here are seven powerful pieces of advice to fight your worries and deal with FUFFERING AND TRIALS 1. Ask Him. He is al-Qareeb. Allaah [swt] is nearer to you than your jugular vein. Make lots of duaa’ and very important, be specific in your duaa’. According to the ahadeeth Allaah [swt] gets angry with those who do not ask Him. So turn every worry, every regret into a duaa.’ 2. Check you relationship with Allaah [swt] How is your relationship with Allaah [swt]? A person may be denied provision because of sins he or she commits. 3. Do not feel helpless Your tiredness or depression might be because of something you missed out on or did not acquire or achieve. Maybe your doom was in that thing and if you had gotten it, you would have been in loss in both this world and the Hereafter. So accept the decree of Allah [swt] and seek His Help. 4. Don’t let tasks build up— be prepared but not worried! Deal with your tasks without delay, even if you dislike them. Most worries we have evolve because we build things up and don’t know how to deal with them anymore. As well, do not worry about the future but be prepared. These are two different things! And very important, be not only prepared for major trials (like death, disease etc), but also for minor trials. Some people do well preparing for major issues, but if they lose their phone or if someone says something bad in their daily lives they go mad! 5. Involve people with knowledge of Islam If you have some personal or family problems, the way to solve these problems is by prioritizing them. Seek the help of Allaah [swt] foremost then the help of people with knowledge of these issues from the perspective of the Quran and the Sunnah, these people can give you very valuable advice and make you look at things from a different point of view! For example, if you know there’s a hadith stating you cannot avoid your Muslim brother or sister for more than three days (in time of issues with each other), then you will be motivated to act upon it. 6. Look at the most tried people: expiation of your sins ! Who were the most sorely tried of all people? The Prophet [saw] said: The Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best, then the next best of people. A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment. If there is some solidness in his religious commitment, he will be more sorely tested, and if there is some weakness in his religious commitment the test will be lightened for him. A man will continue to be tested until he walks upon the face of the earth with no sin on him. Musnad al-Imam Ahmad Key in dealing with stress and worries is realizing that this trial can expiate your sins, increase your hasanaat and raise your level in Paradise. The sahaabah used to rejoice in times of trials as we rejoice in times of ease. So remember: trials are an opportunity! 7. Istighfaar is the way out of every worry Persist in asking for forgiveness. That is better for you than all the worldly steps you can take, no matter how great and how many they are. It was narrated in some reports that whoever persists in praying for forgiveness, Allaah will grant him a way out from every worry and hardship and will grant him provision from sources he never thought of. A way out of every single worry by keep saying “astaghfirullaah” [or any other words of seeking Allah’s forgiveness], Allaahu akbar kabeera! And one final advice: Narrated ‘A’ishah [ra] that the Prophet of Allah [saw] said, Do not say, “I feel rotten*.” Instead, say, “I do not feel well.”
