Hey, just a question. Is there anybody sitting here that does not have problems? It's when our sadness is so overwhelming. That we reach a point that I'm there's no help for me, no one can assist me. I feel helpless. Don't feel like eating don't feel like talking don't feel like working and reach a point where life seems worth it. That's probably where the sideway depression is at and we have no idea how to solve it or where the help is going to come.
From. And we feel that there is no help at all for us. Allah Allah, Subhan Allah, what Allah says that we have revealed within the score on that which is a means of a cure and a mercy to the Believers So I have no doubt the answers are in the Quran. Al hamdulillah. For most people, the discussion of depression, anxiety, and all these things were only come when, when it happens to you. But there are things that occurs in our lives. That brings us there.
You don't just wake up one morning and say, well, I feel depressed today. Now, it's things that happens in our lives. Generally problems and challenges, and grief, and issues that happens in our lives. What I want to talk about is what does the Quran say that conditions us that we never reach a point of depression? so, five things I want to say, The first is Allah Allah, Subhan Allah.
What Allah says at the end of Surah al-baqarah and also in Surah to taluk La yukallifu Allahu nafsan illa wus aha. In Surah 2 taluk. Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says La yukallifu. Allahu nafsan illa Ma So rule number one, we going back in time before somebody becomes depressed and faces depression. Further back in their life, Allah ta'ala says that no human being is burdened beyond their capacity. Sola was of Hanover, Tyler does not impose on us a burden, a difficulty beyond what we can
manage. So we will think and wonder but it's too difficult for me. It's too hard to imagine it. So how does Allah Allah? Subhan Allah? Say Allah does not burden us with that which we can manage. When in reality I can think of my own life with there are things. I'm not managing, I'm not coping with it. So, what does that verse of the Quran than me? But it is starting point. Let us understand the first to me.
That whenever Allah, our Subhan Allah, Allah puts a challenge Upon Us puts us through a difficulty and hardship, we should not doubt but actually be confident that there is a way out. We might not know the way out, we might not be aware where the way out is going to be, but it's there. So when we are reflecting on our own skills, our own abilities, our own resources. We see no way out. But if we expand and like they say, think out of the box went beyond what's within our Circle.
so behind Allah, as we will discuss further, you will see That for every issue in life, Allah ta'ala shows us a way out melet Allah guide us in sha Allah. So that's number one. Number 2 Allah Allah. Subhan Allah, what Allah promises? Surah Al Shariff alumnus. Ah, In my I'll also reuse Rock in Nampa, Idaho. Sorry, you Sora Sora total The system of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala after every hardship disease in serotonin. Sure Allah, mentions it twice.
Not that Allah tala ran out of something to say so let me repeat this know. There's a purpose behind it. The purpose of repetition in the Quran is emphasis highlighting the importance of something. The rain you look at the verse in its emphasis verily. Oh certainly no doubt. My Lord Surrey user mile The webmaster means together. The one is there? The next one is touching it immediately. Afterwards. So I let a lot L for twice in suratul.
Insha'Allah in nominal also be used to connect to a hardship. Is he's immediately following the hatch of this some comfort coming. And so rhetorical analysis. It is Allah. It is Allah that will make it happen that I after hardship is welcomed. So rule number two that any difficulty I face is he's coming. Rule number three. That allow us a hand over to Allah challenges us with hardship. And difficulty as a test from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala is the loss of a hand.
What Allah says in Surah al-baqarah, truly. This is one of the most amazing verses in the Quran. When Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, we will trial and test you with a degree, just a small amount with some fear hunger and a decrease in your life, your wealth and your sustenance. So the difficulties you face in life, the hardships, somebody losing their job. and all of a sudden we have this burden that Go to bond to pay. For example, I have a family to feed. School fees to pay.
And we calculate the 30 days left of the mountain realize I'm not gonna make it. This is tough, this is hard. I've been living well, in all of a sudden I lose my job. That's decrease in something in wealth. That can cause people severe depression. People lose sleep. Don't want to eat can manage through this. Let's start by putting it in Our Minds when that happens to somebody. It is Allah with subhanahu wa'ta'ala has its testing Us.
In other words, it's a Las decision that we go through the Sasha and likewise with the fear in the hunger and everything else. As mentioned in the verse, we coming to the interesting part of the verse. When Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, Glad Tidings to those who are perseverance and patience. And we know a lot of times we use that word, right? Somebody's going through difficulty in a hatch and we say be patient.
My brother be patient or sister unfortunately most times we use it because we don't know what else to say and sometimes people look at it. Almost as though we are being insensitive really that's all I have to do be patient. You're not going to advise me or anything else and therefore less of a Hanna. What Allah says not just glad tidings for patients that when they are faced with a hardship. What do they say in Lila? He were in La he wrote your own
let's be honest. When is the only time we this when somebody dies because generally, we think when somebody dies again back to Allah, Every moment because Allah ta'ala says any inconvenience any difficulty any hardship? What do they say? This is from Allah, but beautifully, more importantly is the next part of the verse. When Allah was subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, those who when they face a hardship in a difficulty instantly recognized it to be from Allah.
Allah, Allah says, it is those people, these are the people who have the money The and forgiveness from Allah and the rightly guided that is the right response. Number 4, we find a rule. We must have in the back of our minds is that whether we go through easiness or Hatcher, it's a benefit for us somehow or the other beautiful is the Hadith of the Prophet. Salallahu alihi wasalam. The prophets Allah I sell him sister.
Angie be very strange. If you look at the reality of a Believer everything that happens to him or her. Is good for you. But this is only for a believer. When it goes through some comfort, something that is joyous, you shows, gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. This is good, we say, oh, thank you a lot for this blessing upon us. We benefited from it. But when I believer goes through difficulty, infliction and hardship, it shows patience again, it's good.
He was patient rule number five and very quickly. We have truly in reality. Three situations, we have yesterday today. And tomorrow, yesterday is in the past. We cannot Change it tomorrow. Is in the future. We have no idea what it holds for us. We have only today. so, rule number five, Let's do what is in our capacity. That's today. We loving it today. We managed it today. We deal with it today. The part I want to talk about now in sha Allah is now that we
have established a mindset. A precondition. Then in sha, Allah thumma in, Charlotte to the grace of Allah, we will manage any inconvenience we face. Another part of it is, how do we manage our day-to-day emotions allow us about Hannah? What Allah says subhanallah so beautifully Alliance by the remembrance of Allah and Allah may say the decree refers to the recitation of the Holy Quran has become tranquil through the recitation of the Holy Quran.
It's making ourselves continuously away that Allah was subhanahu wa'ta'ala is our is our creator. He sustains us, looks after us gives good challenges was difficulties that in the Quran, there is Shiva and they sort of my, for us. Secondly, how do we manage our emotions day today to believe and accept that, I believe a lives between two things. Fear and how the prophet salallahu alaihe, Salam visited a person that was Ill about to
pass away. The prophets Allah sent me as the person that how do you find yourself? He said, o prophet of Allah, I feel my sins. but I have hope in the mercy of Allah, the prophet sallal our cell and beautifully says when these two things are combined Then Allah will subhanahu wa'ta'ala grants, the person that helped The Have and saves them, gives them Tranquility from the fear that they have. And I just want to touch on for
a moment. Probably, the biggest challenge that we face is financial because they are things in our finances is beyond our control. And all of a sudden you look at it and you think I could afford it yesterday today, I can afford it. Things change things happen. So there's parts of our financial situation that we have no control over Do I get the job? Don't I get it. Do I lose the job? Don't I the prophet salallahu alaihe wasalam has taught us how to manage this before that happens.
So while we have the job, while we have the money, we have the income, the prophets, Allah, some tells me and you how to manage that moment. So that when Amela protect us in sha, Allah grant us stability in our wealth, and our health, and
everything else. If we are faced with a difficulty, we ready for it. The prophets Allah cell and beautifully says, look at those around you that are less fortunate than you and don't look at those who are better off than you for if we did that if we looked at those who have more than us and better than us and nicer than us and we keep focusing on that. Chances are that no?
Sooner we do then we will stop realizing the benefit and the blessings of Allah Upon Us. Rather we will start looking at us as insignificant, we lose value, for the blessings of Allah upon us, The example of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that they love the very humble life within his means that we must believe in sha Allah. That when we are facing these hardships difficulties and we feel there's no Road out the problems, and the difficulties
become so overwhelming. Did they see no worth in living anymore? Make an analogy of a river that flows? Most of us swim at the top end of the string and we swim pretty well, occasionally our heads go under the water but you always find a way up as we swim further down the stream because it's going down. Some managed to swim some kind. So the call out for help and people help them out of it and unfortunately they are others who just can't manage it and fall down the waterfall.
May Allah, protect us in Shell. Why is it that people reach that point where they can actually think there's no help out there for me? We can actually think nobody and nothing can help me. It is simply because the belief in the thinking, that once I've exhausted all help available to me and now human being can assist me, then beyond Human Assistance is nothing out for me but yet allow us of a Handover Tyler beautifully in Three verses they all from Surah to
tell Eric versus. We've heard, before Allah was over Hannah what Allah says and this should establish the belief that no matter how difficult life is no matter what problems you are facing is a way out. He who is a conscious of Allah. Allah Allah will grant him or her away out in there. For Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says he would put his trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient for him. He will push Consciousness in Allah.
Allah will remove his hardship and therefore, I conclude in Shallow with two statements actually do ideas of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam. The one is a verse of the Holy Quran. Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says hasbun Allah. When they are Milwaukee where nobody finds herself in a situation where they don't know a way out of the difficulty, I have no idea how to solve this problem. To keep your mental stability.
Start by saying hasbun Allah, when you're a Milwaukee, Allah is sufficient for me. Allah is sufficient for me near milania - oh, you're my best Helper and my best protector. Start. They at least, so we can manage ourselves mentally. So how do you that the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam conclude with this at the prophet salallahu Salim said that he who makes this dryer will be relieved of anxiety, and grief, and difficulty and sorrow. Try to learn it.
If we don't know it. Allah who met in having a dog. But I know a beatnik When you I make now, I'll see you in a periodic. Mild in Phoenix comic, idle une fille not called out Nessa. Local law, who may be cool listening who I like estimating be here in a sec. Oh, and they'll tell wolfy kit a before I love the who I had them in real quick. How is that? Sorta feel malaria endemic and Tasha. Allele horse manure. Also do Rena, wedgie, La Nina. What do you mean? We are your servants.
Those spring of your servants, our foreheads and others. Our existence is in the hands of Allah, the order of Allah passes through as it, we are dependent on Allah. The decree of Allah is just upon us that Allah we ask you in every name that you have called yourself. Oh that, you have revealed in the Quran, how that you have taught any of your creation or that you have kept hidden in
your Treasures by yourself. That Allah make the Quran, a means of the life of our heart, let the beating of our hearts be because of the Quran, and by virtue of it, and then lights on our chest, and the remover of a grief and anxiety and hatchin. Make it such that we see the light at the end of the tunnel with every difficulty we face that we don't know the way out, doesn't mean a way out does not exist Hannah.
