Nobody can deny that this year hasn\u2019t been a year of worry.\nCoronavirus has been a global event that has affected the lives of each and every\none of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is normal to feel some worry or anxiety at this time, after\nall, it is a natural reaction to what is going on in the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, we are taught that worry and anxiety is something\nthat can be treated. In fact, the Quran teaches us that we can also protect\nourselves from worry, anxiety and self-doubt. Today\u2019s reminder is to enable us\nto achieve peace and contentment from the worries of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The imam mentioned ayat 28 from Sura Al-Ra\u2019d which is\ntranslated to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who have believed and whose\nhearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the\nremembrance of Allah hearts are assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear brothers, we need to be mindful of this lesson. Allah\nSWT is telling us that remembering Him is what soothes our hearts. It\u2019s having\nour mind on the real purpose of this life. It\u2019s having our heart rest through\nthe knowledge that ultimately all power lies with Allah SWT and that our return\nis to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conversely, Allah SWT also educates us on those who do not\nadopt this mindset. The opposite result is illustrated in Sura Taha, ayat 124\nwhich is translated to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And whoever turns away from My\nremembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on\nthe Day of Resurrection blind.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear brothers, we need to understand that regardless of the life\nthat we are presented with, there is a remedy available to us that will keep us\nassured and free of worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Prophet SAWS has also taught us about the healthy mindset.\nWe have a hadith which was translated by the imam today. It\u2019s translated to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibn ‘Abbas (RAA) narrated, \u2018One\nday I was riding behind the Prophet when he said, \u201cO lad, be mindful of Allah\nand He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you shall find Him with you.\nWhen you ask (for anything), ask it from Allah, and if you seek help, seek help\nfrom Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so dear brothers, we conclude this reminder with the following\n3 tips to help stay clear of anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear brothers, this life is nothing but a test. However, let\nus not lose sight of the fact that peace and contentment lies with the\nremembrance of the true purpose of this life and the worship of Allah SWT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
