*How to Deal with Sadness and Worry* (part 1 of 2): Patience, Gratitude and Trust

🍄Practising Islam in the way Allah directed is an expression of patience and gratitude.

🍄 If we accept and acknowledge as blessings the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of this life we open the way for the annihilation of all our worries and grief.

🍄All our experiences, from the highest highs to the lowest lows, are blessings from Allah.

🍄When we are overcome by sadness or worry we must turn to Allah, strive to be patient and grateful and put our trust in Allah because Allah is the most trustworthy.

“The believers are only those who, when God is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Quran) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord Alone.” (Quran 8:2)

This complete trust in Allah is called tawakkul.

🍄It means that we face life’s trials, and triumphs knowing that whatever our circumstances Allah knows what is best for us.

🍄Our trust in Allah must be constant, in all situations, good, bad, easy, or difficult.

🍄Whatever happens in this world is with His permission.

🍄Allah provides sustenance and He is able to withdraw it.

🍄Allah is the master of life and death; He is also the One who determines whether we are rich or poor, healthy or ill.

🍄If we are mindful that Allah has control over all things and that He ultimately wants us to live forever in Paradise, we can begin to leave our sadness and worry behind.

🍄 If we face our fears and anxieties with complete trust in Allah, and if we show patience and gratitude with all our circumstances sadness and worry will disappear.

Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affair is all good, and this applies to no one except the believer. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks and that is good for him, and if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and that is good for him.”

Mothers have a great role to play in shaping the characters and morals of nations:

* *Two incidents about the loss of a pencil!* *The first case of the missing pencil:* One robber says: Once, when I was in 4th class, I lost my pencil. When I came home I told my mother about it, as a punishment she hit me and scolded me. She called me stupid, irresponsible and much more. As a result of my mother's harsh behaviour, I made up my mind that I would not go to my mother empty-handed, so I decided to steal the pencils of my classmates. The next day, I made a plan and I didn't stop stealing one or two pencils but stole the pencils of all my class fellows. At first, I used to be afraid, but with time I got confident and more fearless. After doing so for a month, I lost the thrill. Then, I decided to go to the next class. I went from one class to another, and finally I went to the school principal's room. It was a year of practical experience in which I learned to steal both theoretically and practically and then I became a professional bandit. *The second case o

They are not your enemy, your competitor, your despair, your hurdle, your set back and your full stop. They are not the reason you stop perusing your dreams, hobbies and interests. They are not their nanny
