STEPS IN CURING OUR DEPRESSION

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 22nd day of Shawwaal (Tuesday 25th June, 2019).
*_STEPS IN CURING OUR DEPRESSION_*. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

Let's note that most of our problems in life such as depression are due to our disobedience to ALLAH. Some of us claim to love ALLAH but by mouth not by action. One of the means to resolve all that is sincere Tau’bah (Repentance): The heart, brain, soul, body etc cannot find peace of mind if we don't obey the rules of its CREATOR, ALLAH.

Depression is caused by displeasing Almighty ALLAH. When a person transgresses the Laws of ALLAH, he/she is inflicted with various types of harms such as depression automatically. It is for this reason we are taught in Islam that Whoever makes Istighfaar in abundance and sincerely, ALLAH will make a way out for him from every difficulty, free him from depression and anxiety and ALLAH will grant him sustenance from avenues he will not imagine.
“Why should ALLAH punish you if you have thanked (HIM) and have believed in HIM.  And ALLAH is Ever All Appreciative (of good), All Knowing.”  [An-Nisa 147].

Therefore, the depressed person should repent for the past and  present sins and turn his/her attention to ALLAH. Focus on pleasing ALLAH by fulfilling all HIS commands as much as you  can and ALLAH will grant us ease, peace and satisfaction of the heart, mind and soul. In the Zikr of ALLAH we will acquire complete tranquility and peace. ALLAH is the controller of all situations. If a person is in any difficulty, ALLAH is the ONLY POWER that would assist him in coming out of that difficulty. Therefore, turn to ALLAH and HE will take care of all your problems and misfortunes. Don't go to pastors, fortune tellers etc. They are agents of Satan through evil jinns to deviate our eemaan from ALLAH.
*_We ask ALLAH to aid us and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
