The Solution To Sadness, Depression & Grief by Lukgaf(op): 8:53am On Feb 06
Shaykh Salih (rahimahullaah) gives the solution to sadness, depression and grief:

“Indeed the Legislation orders us to keep away from everything which causes regret. Allaah سبحانه said:

“Secret counsels (conspiracies) are only from Satan, in order that he may cause grief to the believers. But he cannot harm them in the least, except as Allaah permits.” [Mujaadilah, 58:10]

And Allaah تعالى only told us this so that we keep away from it, it was not merely a piece of information telling us that the Devil wants to cause us grief, no, what is meant is that we keep away from everything which causes grief. And for this reason the Prophet ﷺ said, “When there are three people, two should not converse together to the exclusion of the third.” [Agreed upon]

So everything which brings about sadness in a person is forbidden …

The Prophet ﷺ ordered a person who saw a dream that he disliked to dry-spit to his left three times and seek Allaah’s Refuge from its evil and the evil of the Devil and to then turn to the other side [to sleep on] and not to tell anyone about it and to perform ablution and pray—all of this so that a person can drive away all of these things [grief etc.] …

And that is why the Companions said that we used to see dreams and become ill because of them, but when the Prophet of Allaah ﷺ told us this hadith … i.e., they relaxed and no worry remained.

So the Legislator wants us to avoid everything which brings about worry, grief, and sadness, and for this reason Allaah تعالى said:

“So whosoever intends to perform Hajj therein then he should not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj.” [Baqarah 2:197]

Because disputes make a person defend himself and his thoughts change for the sake of the argumentation, and he will became worried and it will distract him from worship.

The point is: Always keep in mind the fact that Allaah عزوجل wants you to be happy all the time, far from grief.

And in reality a person has three situations:

A past situation;
A present;
Aa future one.
The Past

A person forgets the past and the worry that it had because it and what it contained is over, if it was a calamity, then say:

اللهُمَّ أَجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

“O Allaah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it,” [Muslim]

…and forget about it.

And for this reason He forbade wailing over the dead, why? Because it renews the grief and reminds one of it.

The Future

As for the future, its knowledge is with Allaah عزوجل, rely on Allaah and when issues come to you then seek their solution, but those things which the Legislator has ordered you to prepare for then prepare for them.

The Present

It is the present time which it is possible for you to deal with, try to keep away from everything that causes worry, grief and sadness so that you can always be relaxed and have an open breast, dedicating yourself to Allaah and worshipping Him and [dedicating yourself] to your worldly affairs and those connected to the Hereafter.

When you try this, you will relax.

As for tiring yourself over what has passed or worrying about the future in a manner the legislation has not allowed, then know that [if you do so] you will become exhausted and lose out on much good.”

Why do you need the Bible in this when Mohammed's Allah's Quran, which the murderers claim to follow, already certifies the Torah and Injeel as books inspired, preserved and authorized by Him for the Jews and the Christians before Mohammed? 🥱🥱

Also, if you are going to bring Books that Mohammed's Allah claims were inspired by him, there are not two but 5 books ...The Torah, the Injeel, the Mishnah and the Talmud. (The Quran heavily sourced most of the claims regarding beliefs related to the Jews from the last two books, not from the other two. )🥱🥱

We can't..or at least I can't rationally do that because killings in the Torah and Injeel were only legalized by the Law of Moses which served as the Constitutional law in the nation of Israel that was constituted by the YHWH of Israel over his people in the land He gave to them. The book and History confirms that the nation ceased to exist -- the Law holds in no country on this earth today -- when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and Judeah, exiling many of the Israelite population before them remaining the territory Syria Palestine as an insult. 🥱🥱

By the way, most all of the nations which existed during that same time had similar laws on book, with most of them more horrendous than the last. I say this because I only recently got caught up on the laws of the Greek empire, Persian empire and Carthaginians. 🥱

I mention this wondering why you would think it makes sense to compare Islam to the nation of Israel that existed before it when YHWH's Israel Constitution law was not the worst of that era. Or were you somehow living under some false delusion that a nation of men, ruled by men, should exist by standards that men are not able to keep --- as though the inhabitants of the nation themselves were all gods? 🥱🥱

2. I never said the Quran sourced from the Torah or the Injeel. Rather, what I said is that most of the Israelite stories found in the Quran from the Mishnah and the Talmud, both books compiled from the writings of those referred to as the Lying Scribes by prophets such as Jeremiah and Malachi.🥱🥱

1. So killing of the babies, women, animals distroying of people properties were legalized as a constitutional law in the bible ... That ok 🤣
But in Islam it is forbidden to kill those who didn't fight you, babies, women, animals and you cant distroy thier field, nor contaminate thier water ...I guess you see the difference between jewdaism, Christianity and Islam..

1. Yes! The Law of Moses, was the constitutional Law in the nation of Israel in the land of Canaan. It defined all arms of government — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial arms, including the civil and ethical laws— for the nation and living among the people. And what is important to note is that the land in question had well-defined borders. The last time I checked, the details of the Law of Moses did not even make provisions enabling the nation of Israel to go colonizing/conquering other lands except for the one defined and given to them by their YHWH. undecided

2. Stop lying against Mohammed, his Allah, and Islam!
31. Then Allah sent a crow digging ˹a grave˺ in the ground ˹for a dead crow˺, to show him how to bury the corpse of his brother. He cried, “Alas! Have I ˹even˺ failed to be like this crow and bury the corpse of my brother?” So he became regretful.
32. That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity. ˹Although˺ Our messengers already came to them with clear proofs, many of them still transgressed afterwards through the land.
33. Indeed, [color=#990099]the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread mischief in the land is death, crucifixion, cutting off their hands and feet on opposite sides, or exile from the land.[/color] This ˹penalty˺ is a disgrace for them in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter.
34. As for those who repent before you seize them, then know that Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. - Quran 5 vs 21 - 33
Allah literally states above that in Islam it is right and good to kill those who wage war and those who we are told spread mischief in the land — with the Islamic nation which can span all of mankind, since Mohammed's Allah claims his ideas are for all mankind. 🥱🥱

Kobojunkie:
Again, stop lying! The only times Islam allows for Mohammedans not to harm animals, babies, women and so on is during the Hajj when a truce is to put in place around around the immediate area of Mecca to allow all people move around and socialize freely. Other than that, Islam allows for killings or subjugation of individuals without wane. 🥱🥱

Ramadan is not even considered a killings/subjugation free month. Why else do you think Islamic Jihadist go berserk during those months? 🥱🥱

If, according to Mohammed, Allah is the same deity as the YHWH of the Israelites, does this mean then that you do not approve of Mohammed and Allah? I am trying to get an idea of how you reason Islam as one whose Allah claims to be the YHWH of the Israelites. 🥱🥱🥱

1. It's not about what I believe but about what your Quran insists you as a Mohammedan should believe. Mohammed claims in the Quran that Allah sent the Torah and the Injeel, implying that Allah is YHWH of the Torah and the Injeel. If you do not at least believe that, doesn't that put you at odds with Mohammed and Allah? 🥱🥱

And there is glad different from what he sent to the people of the book and to the different one written and reverse by King James and others unknown authors

I know you are confused.. if you want me to break it down more I will...
Mohammad Peace be upon him his a messenger to us. WE ONLY WORSHIP THE LORD OF THE WORLD ALLAH

Mohammed in the Quran claimed that the Torah and the Injeel were both inspired, preserved and authorized by him. So, when you indicate the contents of the Torah are to be mocked, aren't you invariably mocking Mohammed and Allah by that? 🥱🥱
