Responding to hardships

Hey all There are 3 ways of handling a situation. 1)We feel ourselves incapable of making any change with our hands physically. We can’t stop the bleeding that’s going on. So we give up hope. We feel hopeless. We feel that we can’t do anything. We find ourselves confused not knowing what to do. This feeling of depression is understandable. 2) We often times find ourselves making is a response of trying to ignore the situation. It’s too overwhelming; it’s too painful; so we choose not to watch the media; not to read about what’s going on; not to face the injustice in the world. We find ourselves avoiding the reality on the ground. 3) We often times find ourselves taking is that of being hyper-focused on the issues to the point that we get overwhelmed. We find ourselves fanatically trying to engage with these issues and troubles, and begin to consume every piece of news and follow the every detail of what’s going on in each of these conflicts around the world.

Better way ahead

“And the next life is certainly better for you than the present life.” (adh-Dhuha, 93:4)  Many times when we’re depressed we think: Is this all my life going to be? Is it never going to get better? This verse serves as a perfect answer to those questions, reminding us that life in this world is temporary and that the hereafter is certainly a better, more permanent place for us than this world could ever be. This makes us look forward to attaining our place in Jannah and helps us look at any problems in our lives as temporary tests of our faith from Allah. “Soon your Lord will give you that with which you will be pleased.” (adh-Dhuha, 93:5) That is, although it will take some time, yet the time is not far when your Lord will bless you with so much that you will be well pleased. Very soon Allah will replace our sorrow with good; and He promises us that we will be satisfied with what He gives us. And the promise of Allah is true.  https://www.amda.us/index.php/khutba/406-surat-ad...

Night

“And by the night when it covers with darkness.” (adh-Dhuha, 93:2)   Another relevance of the oath to the subject is that if man is constantly exposed to the light of days it tires him down; so, it is necessary that night should fall after the day has remained bright for a certain period so that man may have rest and peace in it. Likewise, if you are constantly exposed to the light of revelation, your nerves would not stand it. Therefore, break or gap in the revelation has also been provided by Allah on account of expedience so that the effects of the strain of revelation that you have to bear passes away and complete peace is restored to you. https://www.amda.us/index.php/khutba/406-surat-adh-dhuha-a-remedy-for-sadness-and-grief-jan-5-2018

The difference

There is a difference between dark and gloomy. There is a difference between being hearers and listeners. There is difference between advice and concern. There is a difference between job and responsibility. There is a difference between being guilty and responsible. There is a difference between offending and explaining. There is difference in avoiding and being left out. There is difference between friendship and companionship. There is a difference between being a leader and a mentor. Don't hear... Listen... There is a difference ...
