The Prophet pbuh was made an outcast.
He was stoned till his shoes filled with blood.
He was spat at, thrown camel guts on, disliked and hated by his own family members.
Those that once Love him, now hated him.
They made him starve for years.
They made him cry every night.
They called him names, and made his life hell.
They killed his friends and companions.
He lost his parents, his uncles, his friends.
They even planned to kill him.
What lesson are you not getting from his life numb?
Allah **never **tests anyone beyond their capacity. With every test he gives to every person, He gives them the strength to deal with it.
I’ll pray for you, I want you to pray too.
Asking for Hellfire will not help.
To develop trust in your Creator, to ask only of him. will help.
Why don’t you ask him. With your heart, ask him.
Soon Inshallah he’ll answer your call.
**Learn **from the Prophet’s life. He could have been the King of the world, and ruled everyone if he wanted.
But he was that poor man who only had faith in Allah.
May Allah guide us all.
Hey, even though I don’t know the exact situation you are in, but I’m going through something similar myself. I have no connection with my parents whatsoever….and everyday I think of something stupid to get sad over, but at the end of the day I survive. Cause’ I have wonderful friends, I love my workplace and people around me are supportive. You’ll make it.
I’m not a sadist of some sort who likes to get depressed over stuff, but when you have no communication with your parents. It sucks, it kills and it’s painful to live with a big knot in your tummy which only gets bigger with time. No matter how bad you think of your life though, at the end you somehow make it, cause’ Allah guides you during the worst possible circumstances in ways you cannot imagine.
Brother Numb calm down. One day is different then another. asking for hellfire is like, you already in a Pain and asking for more pain? it doesnt make sense.
We all go through difficult times, ask only Allah for help, Innshallah Allah will help you, sometime we pray one time and expect everything goes ok, its like you have a deep wound and putting medicine once won’t fill it up.
As cresent brother mentioned in his post beautifully, learn to have patience, once you know and believe that you are doing patience for the happiness of Allah, believe me Allah will help you.
You said you only 20 , you are still young and I know this is a age when we all are emotional, think sensibily and pray to God.
thanks for writing this. it was really good…i dont ever remember being depressed n i hope i dont go into depression coz i can say wutever n move on…but wut if ur beyond pissed? now that happns a lil too much. n i know ur gonna say be patient. but gosh. thats so hard sometimes.
I would like to Thanx Cressi for taking his time out and giving out tips for resolving depression in the light of Quran and Sunnah and alsom from his experience.
With that I would like to share some of my experience too. People who don’t want to read long posts, I apologize.
Cressi has mention that there are soo many reason why a person is tested by Allah (s.w.t) and he is indeed right. From my perspective, I believe Allah (s.w.t) test on something that u r mostly close or attach to.
My life, as most of you say is full of life, meaning I am always happy and nothing to worry about. Thats true, i will not deny it, but as i said b4 Allah (s.w.t) test you on something that you love. Masha’allah I have gr8 family, frens …relatives and i have always been around good people, so no problem here. Since undergrad i always wanted to be a doctor and i worked hard toward it. The thing i forgot in undergrad that life just doesnt end at the point of academics. For me I was wayy too fixated toward my major and my grades. I would sacrfice anything for my school. It came to the point, that i heard if u do Hafiz-e-Quran ulll get more bright and i got selfish and thought if I am gonna do hafiz-e-quran then ill get brighter and can get good grades and can be in med school.
Now, I realize how selfish I was to think like that …no i didnt do Hafiz-e-quran…i wish i could
Coming to the point, i got tested by Allah only in academically. How? well like this…i would tutor my frens who would not know anything about the class…and they would get higher grades and i would get the lowest one. It sucks…most of u knowhow it feels. It kept on happening…the more i was working hard…the more i was falling down. It gotto the point that i got depression. I end up being in ER and reffered to psychiatrist, it turn out i had a severe form of stress leading to depression. She (doc) gave me ZOLOFT! ( now i know wat zoloft does to brain ) I took one pill of it and i was flying not literally but i felt nothing is better than this.
Alhamdullilah, mera dimagh thikana aya aik pill layna kay baad..and i thought ot myself..wat th ehell am i doing? To take away my depression i am taking help form this ll 25 mg pill? isnt there better cure than this? Subhanallah, I realized that ONLY and ONLY ALLAH (s.w.t) can help me go through it.
I prayed to him. I devoted myself to him and i totally trusted him. I realzied no matter what happens, ill say ''alahamdullilah" b/c it is indeed from HIM.
Just by realizing that..my life started to change…i came back ALIVE to my life where i wanted to be. My grade got better. Subhanallah, HE opened the doors for me wherei wanted to go.
So, the moral of the story is eveyrone has their own tests…some realize it and some dont. No matter what happens, as Cressi said keep in mind trust Allah, you trust HIM and HE WILL BE THERE FOR U ! Insha’allah!
u dont know reall EMM thats y u r amazed..if i REALLY open up a thread about my life going through this phase i mentioned above…ull me astonished maan.
Have been through A LOT! even after being in med school I am …but i say no biggy, insha’allah things will get better if not now but insha’allah later
Man, all i would say Allah (s.w.t) really knows how to twist us around. WHat i mean to say is He knows what we want and HE tests us just so we can get to HIM only. Really when you think about it, there isnt any other purpose behind. Allah wants what from us?? Just to praise Him, b/c he has given us soo many blessings and just want us to say Alhamdullilah and lead our life in a proper way according to Islam.
To be honest, Allah sure has done soooo many t hings to me just so I can have trust in HIM and Love Him. And I tell you, its the bestest feeling ever. Its liek nothing can break you apart. Whenever you need Him, He is there. He is like you best fren.
Subahanallah, seriously i have loads to talk and tell but then i dont wana offend some people or dont want people to take something negative out of what i am trying to say.
Ill leave it here and I thank u again for such a wonderful post. I needed it
OMG! WUT THE!!!..EMM is drunk!
