🔥 Love Of Dunya: The Mother Of All Sufferings Part #7 7️⃣ The Real Cure For Depression, Anxiety Is In Following Islaam: Despite their remarkable advances in medicine and technology, these countries and nations cannot offer the true and complete relief that a heart burdened with sorrow, anxiety, depression, and trauma seeks. By Allaah! No religion offers a comprehensive cure for al-Hazn (regret about the past), al-Hamm (anxiety about the future), and al-Ghamm (distress over the present) except Islaam. It is only Islaam that addresses not merely the symptoms, but the heart, the soul, and the true cause of human suffering. In our religion, enduring grief and anxiety becomes an act of worship when a person believes in Allaah, remains patient, and hopes for reward from Allaah. Every moment of suffering that is borne with Faith and Patience is recorded as an act of obedience and draws the believer closer to Allaah. The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Never is a believer stricken with a discomfort, an illness, anxiety, grief, mental worry, or even the pricking of a thorn except that Allaah will expiate his sins (on account of his patience).❞ [1] A person may only be pricked by a thorn a few times during his lifetime. Yet those who suffer from diabetes and must regularly inject themselves with insulin should rejoice in the glad tidings that, with every prick of the needle, some of their minor sins are expiated, or their ranks are elevated - provided they bear it patiently and hope for the reward from Allaah. What others see as suffering, the believer transforms into worship. What others see as hardship, the believer turns into purification. This is the honor of patience, and this is the mercy of the Most Merciful. The root of much of our sorrow and pain is that we seek the comfort of this worldly life. When the heart expects ease from a world created for toil, it inevitably breaks. At times, we become the cause of our own suffering and our own worst enemy - not because Allaah تعالى wronged us, but because we have failed to understand the true purpose of our existence. We were not created to pursue perfect comfort in this world. Rather, we were created to worship Allaah alone during this temporary life, and in return, He تعالى will reward the Believers with everlasting comfort in the Hereafter. The problem is that we desire in this world what Allaah تعالى has reserved for the people of Jannah. We long for an everlasting life, spacious homes, beautiful spouses, immense wealth, perpetual happiness, a life free from pain, grief, and sadness, and for everyone around us to love us, remain pleased with us, and never leave us. But these are not the promises of this world—they are the promises of Jannah. This worldly life was created as a place of trial, whereas Jannah is the abode of perfect comfort and eternal delight. Yet man is hasty, as Allaah تعالى says: ﴿وَيَدْعُ الْإِنسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَاءَهُ بِالْخَيْرِ ۖ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ عَجُولًا﴾ {And man supplicates for evil as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty.} [2] And also: ﴿خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ ۚ سَأُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِي فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ﴾ {Man was created in haste. I (Allaah) will show you My signs, so do not impatiently urge Me.} [3] 📑 NOTES 1️⃣ Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5640, 5641) and the wording is his, and Saheeh Muslim (2572, 2573, 2574) 2️⃣ Surah al-Israa (17): 11 3️⃣ Surah al-Anbiyaa (21): 37 End Of Part 7 To Be Continued…
