REMEDIES FOR SADNESS by MUFTI ISMAIL MENK

Dunya is a testing ground.The evidence that this is a testing ground is none of us has what we want in this world, rather we only get what Allah has chosen for us. So, Allah tests us with health matters, financial matters,family matters. So many other different issues, different types of loss. Remember, things don't happen according to how we want them to happen. Because Allah is telling us to hang on! It's just a test! HE want to see how we react? Will this bring us closer to HIM?

However, a lot of us are sad because of something temporary. We've lost wealth, everybody's lost wealth. Nobody seated here has not suffered a loss. Everybody has. They've dealt it differently. They've suffered at different levels.

Allah tests us according to our level.When Allah loves you more, He tests you more.That's a hadith.
It's because when we have a problem or an issue, it is human nature that when we have problem, we will start looking for solutions. And a believer will look for solutions by getting closer to Allah. So when Allah wants us to become very close to HIM, HE gives us a bigger problem because if we did not have this major issue in our life,perhaps we wouldn't even be bothered about calling out to ALLAH.

When we become sad, try to close our eyes and try to think about the situation in Palestin and Syria.Look at those who have a bigger problems than us. Our test are far easier than those who are being bombed in aerial bombing on daily basis. So, don't let our problems distress us and don't let it worry us and we need to remember to get closer to our Creator.

No matter what's going to happen, it's only by the permission of ALLAH..that they will be able to achieve if ALLAH wants them to. And it's going to better for you either ways.

Remember,when everything is going against your liking, you are assured that it is going according to the plan of ALLAH. Nothing goes according to someone else plan.It is ALLAH's plan!!

Life is temporary.Days do not last. It will not be the same.After nightfall comes day, and after days comes night. That's the plan of Allah!!!

Remedies for sadness by mufti menk are:

1) develop our quality of salah
2) take our times when it comes to quran. Try to read even one page of quran in a day
3) look at the creatures of Allah. Look at the beautiful scenery, sunset,trees and  so on
