00:00:07--> 00:00:09

One of the most common things

00:00:09--> 00:00:12

human beings are suffering from these days,

00:00:13--> 00:00:15

especially these days, is

00:00:15--> 00:00:17

feeling of sadness,

00:00:18--> 00:00:18

worries,

00:00:19--> 00:00:19

anxiety,

00:00:20--> 00:00:20

depression,

00:00:22--> 00:00:22

restlessness.

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

Is the answer in the Quran? The answer

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

is yes.

00:00:27--> 00:00:28

Number 1, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:00:29--> 00:00:32

affirmed that we do have this feeling.

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says a human

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

being was created.

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

It's an inner

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

character in us,

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

restless.

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

When sure evil,

00:00:44--> 00:00:45

things are uncomfortable,

00:00:45--> 00:00:48

come to our life, we despair.

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

And when Allah give us and we live

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

in a comfortable life or whatever we want

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

Allah gives us, then we'll become more miser

00:00:57--> 00:01:00

and we forget him. And then Allah says,

00:01:00--> 00:01:03

except those who are consistent

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

in their salah and their prayer.

00:01:05--> 00:01:08

So the fact that we have this feeling

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

of restlessness

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

inside us anxiety,

00:01:11--> 00:01:12

worry, I have an exam tomorrow, I have

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

an interview tomorrow, I'm gonna

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

have delivery tomorrow. Something that I don't know.

00:01:17--> 00:01:20

It's usually of the unseen or of the

00:01:20--> 00:01:20

future.

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

Sadness is also there and fear is there.

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

And

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

amazingly

00:01:26--> 00:01:29

fear, even the prophets themselves,

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the Quran

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

mentioned

00:01:32--> 00:01:33

that feeling,

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

the feeling of fear

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

is natural.

00:01:38--> 00:01:41

And very repeatedly we hear we read it

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

when we come to the story of Sayyidina

00:01:43--> 00:01:43

Musa,

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

SubhanAllah, and Allah

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

He said, he said,

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

He was telling Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when

00:01:53--> 00:01:54

Allah told him

00:01:54--> 00:01:57

go and ask or invite the people of

00:01:57--> 00:02:00

pharaoh to worship Allah. He said, I am

00:02:00--> 00:02:00

scared.

00:02:01--> 00:02:02

I'm worried.

00:02:02--> 00:02:05

I have committed a crime. I've killed 1

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

of them and I'm afraid they will kill

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

me. So even Sayidna Ibrahim,

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

Khaleelur Rahman, the most beloved

00:02:12--> 00:02:15

human being to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

the closest and Abal Ambiya, the father of

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

the prophets

00:02:18--> 00:02:21

and the one who brought tawheed and practiced

00:02:21--> 00:02:21

tawheed,

00:02:21--> 00:02:23

the oneness of Allah

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

he had this feeling natural.

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

So when he saw the angels coming

00:02:28--> 00:02:29

in the form of human beings and when

00:02:29--> 00:02:32

he offered them food and when he saw

00:02:32--> 00:02:34

their hands is not coming to the food,

00:02:34--> 00:02:35

he become

00:02:35--> 00:02:36

afraid.

00:02:41--> 00:02:44

He rejected this action and he start feeling

00:02:44--> 00:02:44

afraid.

00:02:45--> 00:02:48

The mother of Sayidina Musa, a mother, when

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

she lose her baby,

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

she becomes sad.

00:02:56--> 00:02:59

When Allah told her, throw him in

00:02:59--> 00:03:00

the river,

00:03:00--> 00:03:03

Don't be afraid. Don't be sad. Meaning,

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

it is natural.

00:03:05--> 00:03:08

And our beloved Rasool alaihis salatu was salam

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

And the famous story when he left Mecca,

00:03:10--> 00:03:11

actually,

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

in his migration journey to Medina with Sayyidina

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

Abu Bakr and they were in the cave

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

and then

00:03:18--> 00:03:19

the disbelievers,

00:03:19--> 00:03:21

he saw their foot

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

and Sayyid Nabu Bakr, as Sadiq

00:03:24--> 00:03:25

was afraid.

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

Afraid. And he looked at him says You

00:03:28--> 00:03:29

Rasool Allah,

00:03:29--> 00:03:30

if they look down

00:03:31--> 00:03:32

they will see us.

00:03:34--> 00:03:34

And Rasul responded

00:03:36--> 00:03:37

don't be sad

00:03:39--> 00:03:40

Allah is with us.

00:03:40--> 00:03:42

And the same thing Sayyidina Musa when it

00:03:43--> 00:03:44

in the most

00:03:45--> 00:03:46

fearful moment

00:03:46--> 00:03:50

when all pharaoh and his soldiers behind him.

00:03:50--> 00:03:51

And the and the

00:03:51--> 00:03:54

most strong believers with him just believed, and

00:03:54--> 00:03:56

they are so strong. But when they saw

00:03:56--> 00:04:00

pharaoh and his soldiers behind them he said,

00:04:00--> 00:04:03

they told him, are they gonna catch us?

00:04:03--> 00:04:05

And they felt afraid. And he said,

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

Allah is with me. Feeling sad,

00:04:10--> 00:04:15

feeling anxiety, feeling down, feeling restless is absolutely

00:04:15--> 00:04:16

normal,

00:04:16--> 00:04:17

natural.

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

But what should we do about it?

00:04:19--> 00:04:20

2 things

00:04:21--> 00:04:23

quickly. 1 from the Quran and one from

00:04:23--> 00:04:25

medicine. Should we go and see help? The

00:04:25--> 00:04:27

answer is yes if that feeding

00:04:28--> 00:04:29

is becoming

00:04:29--> 00:04:32

so big that it is crippling our life

00:04:32--> 00:04:35

that I cannot function, I cannot serve, I

00:04:35--> 00:04:37

cannot do my work, I cannot be a

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

mother, I can't be a father, then I

00:04:39--> 00:04:42

need to seek help, whether it's a counseling

00:04:42--> 00:04:44

or medications. In fact, that's what our deen

00:04:44--> 00:04:45

tell us.

00:04:45--> 00:04:49

We take the means, but we don't believe

00:04:49--> 00:04:50

that the medicine

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

or the counselor is gonna heal me. We

00:04:53--> 00:04:54

believe Allah

00:04:54--> 00:04:55

is the healer.

00:04:58--> 00:05:00

As Saidna Ibrahim said, when I get sick,

00:05:01--> 00:05:04

he, Allah, will cure me. But Allah will

00:05:04--> 00:05:04

make

00:05:05--> 00:05:07

the medicine or the counseling sessions

00:05:08--> 00:05:08

works.

00:05:09--> 00:05:11

So this is one but the most important

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

thing the answer is in the Quran

00:05:13--> 00:05:14

also

00:05:17--> 00:05:21

It's amazing verse. Verily, by the remembrance of

00:05:21--> 00:05:21

Allah,

00:05:22--> 00:05:23

hearts will feel

00:05:24--> 00:05:24

serene,

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

will feel calm, will

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

the fear will leave.

00:05:29--> 00:05:31

And this something we have to get used

00:05:31--> 00:05:33

to it. It's not only when I feel

00:05:33--> 00:05:36

sad I'm gonna run and remember Allah. If

00:05:36--> 00:05:37

I am constantly

00:05:38--> 00:05:41

in the remembrance of Allah remembering Allah the

00:05:42--> 00:05:43

ones that Araswari taught

00:05:44--> 00:05:47

us the morning athkar, the evening athkar, I

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

make part of my day reading

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

1 page of the Quran more or less

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

but it's part of my day

00:05:54--> 00:05:56

then in general when I run to Allah

00:05:56--> 00:05:57

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:05:58--> 00:06:01

run to Allah, I'm gonna feel much better.

00:06:02--> 00:06:04

And one hadith of Rasul alaihis salatu wasalam

00:06:04--> 00:06:06

and he taught us how to also

00:06:08--> 00:06:08

fight

00:06:09--> 00:06:10

or avoid

00:06:10--> 00:06:11

what is

00:06:12--> 00:06:12

is.

00:06:14--> 00:06:16

And the had the famous hadith of Sayyidina

00:06:16--> 00:06:19

Ubayy, he narrated the hadith when Rasool alaihis

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

salatu wa sallam. He was talking to him,

00:06:21--> 00:06:24

how much of my time I I do

00:06:24--> 00:06:24

salawat

00:06:24--> 00:06:27

or blessings send blessings to you? And he

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

said, 1 fourth, 1 third. And he said,

00:06:29--> 00:06:31

how about if I do all my time?

00:06:31--> 00:06:33

And he said, then tukfa hamak. Then you

00:06:33--> 00:06:35

will have nothing to worry about.

00:06:35--> 00:06:37

So let's all learn the following.

00:06:38--> 00:06:40

These feelings are norm. These are natural.

00:06:41--> 00:06:44

Sometimes it become major, becomes bigger. It affects

00:06:44--> 00:06:45

our daily life.

00:06:46--> 00:06:48

At this point we're gonna need to go

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

and get help but the number one answer

00:06:50--> 00:06:53

is in the Quran. Whenever you feel afraid,

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

pick up the Quran and read a verse.

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

Even if you don't know the meaning, keep

00:06:57--> 00:07:00

reading. Allah will put this feeling

00:07:00--> 00:07:01

of serenity.

00:07:02--> 00:07:05

Allah is a salaam. Allah is peace and

00:07:05--> 00:07:07

he has the peace and he's the source

00:07:07--> 00:07:09

of peace. And if I want to feel

00:07:09--> 00:07:11

peaceful or I want to feel in peace,

00:07:11--> 00:07:12

peace and that's Allah

00:07:11--> 00:07:12

peace and that's Allah
