**Assalamualaikum sisters and brothers!
I have a friend she feel anxious and scared, of bad things that might happen to her. Do you have any du’as that can help her feel calmer and less anxious? Or any tips on how to feel less scared? And do you think that the reason is less faith in Allah?
Thanks!**
Re: Anxiety and Worries
dear peaceful islam, quran has answers to all our problems but unfortunately we are not interested in solving our problems the way the quran tells us. Our main problem is understanding the quran itself by ourselves.
as a people we have moved away from the quran almost totally, if you like we are followers of the quran by name only. we never read the quran for understanding it as a book that has answers for our problems or that we think just reading a few words is all that is required of us or that if we said some words all our troubles will be over.
This is not a book of magic tricks. it needs serious study till we are able to see in it ourselves answers to our all questions.
The quran is a program for humanity to follow so that mankind could solve their problems of life and living as a community.
The quran make us understand how the world is set-up to work and how we can fit-in in this grand scheme of things. So long as we are not bothered with understanding of our world the way the quran explains, no matter what kind of magic we try it will not work.
Whatever Allah had to say to mankind he has said it in the quran as his final words for all time to come. All our prayers we ever had to pray are already answered in the quran but we cannot see those answers because we do not learn how to understand the quran. Through the quran Allah is talking to human beings but are we listening? So what we need to do is help each other understand the quran the best we can. Only by doing that we will be able to hear the message of Allah properly.
The other way to look at the quran is by example of the prophet. How did he use the quran to overcome problems of life and living? Yet other source for us is fiqh which contains examples of our ulema, how did they solve problems of life and living in light of prophetic examples?
Our problems is we do not want to put effort into anything the way we should and that is the main reason we remain confused all our lives and then die in confusion. In other words we leave our world the way we found it or in even worse condition. It shows how much we care for the world that Allah has created for us to work in and make of it what we can through following his guidance.
