The Holy Qur’aan speaks
“Do not be troubled or depressed for The Almighty is with us (at all times).” (Chapter 9 verse 40)
It is an obvious fact that we all go through trials and tests in our lives, however, the most important point for us all to realise is that when we do go through any of these, such circumstances actually arise by Divine will and that anxiety and despair are not going to help us, in any way whatsoever, to solve our problems in the least. They will in fact make the problem worse and at times even create for us an imaginary problem out of nothing.
It is the special focus on our connection with The Almighty and the fact that He is ever so close to us, which will bring about a sense of calmness and help keep us in the right frame of mind. The Almighty has a reason and a purpose for everything and He will surely bring about a wonderful outcome for us – if only we maintain our faith in Him and call out to Him.
Thinking up solutions to our problems is best done when we are in the right frame of mind, free from hopelessness and despair.
In reality, whether we worry or not, what is going to happen will happen, so we’d rather go through it without worrying. This will increase our chances of rapid recovery from our dilemmas and help us get up on to our feet again.
At times what appears to us as being a difficult situation may in fact be better for us than any other situation we could have had.
A person who has firm belief in The Almighty will always be further away from sadness, depression and anxiety than one who does not have such belief. This is because he understands that The Almighty, who is the Supreme Sovereign of the entire universe, is always by his side and that He is most just in every aspect.
