Suicides, and you find females are attempting to commit suicide more
than males.
But males get they actually go through with it. Females make a
mistake, they don't do the act properly, and you find that the
age group is between 15 and 34
these statistics are alarming.
Every couple of years we find the children as young as seven has
taken their life,
and sometimes, as a Muslim Ummah, we turn a blind, eye, Deaf here,
and we give the wrong advice. People are suffering. We need to
understand and we need to address mental health. And from Islamic
platform as well, if we have people suffering from mental
illness, suffering from depression and anxiety, needs to be
addressed. So on the one hand, from the very outset, the no time
to get over me,
there are two types of, firstly, suicide. Leading off from that,
speak about depression and anxiety. Why? Because that's the
number one cause of suicide, of suicide, depression and anxiety.
And this is something we can all take lesson from, because we all
sometimes or the other, suffer from depression. We suffer from
anxiety. We know others that suffer from depression and
anxiety.
So let's address the strong Islamic platform. So firstly,
there's something known as clinical depression, clinical
anxiety, imbalances with the brain, something wrong with the
chemical formula,
the chemical balances out. And people that suffer from this need
to see psychiatrists, psychologists or doctors, and we
need to encourage them giving such a person of advice, we actually
exacerbate the problem causing him to commit suicide quicker, or
making him think about it more. They suffer from depression
because of imbalances. They need to see professionals so never as
son, as of being or as heart of this woman. We try to take that
place. Very often we give shadow and the wrong advice. And then
these people complain that the Imams and the scholars and my
family were not there for me, who were there for me, the
psychologist, very often you find leaving the phone turning a blind
eye from Isaac. So this is not what we should do. Somebody comes
to they say they have problems. Say, just make something.
Everything is going to come, right? Don't worry. Just have to
have a proper life, that type of a thing that we don't do. These are
people that are suffering from chemical imbalances, and this is
from Allah, and we need to encourage him to see the
professions at the same time. How does his address this problem? I
gave it the spoke a couple of times, every single time I want to
address because the Quran addresses the causes and offers a
solution. So it actually sums up everything into five causes, all
the problems that are suffering in terms of emotionally, spiritually,
mentally,
gives the just in five. Five major causes to all type of mental
diseases, spiritual diseases.
So I get caught up into those five, and then I want to speak
about the cures. And then the time is up, so I'm going to change
the way I deal with things, just to get everything in time I speak
about the cures. First, the cures that I will mention now 10 cures.
And these 10 cures are cure for every single spiritual element
under the sun. I don't eat that without any restrictions.
Allah subhana wa Taala says in a verse that we are all familiar
with,
if you
are, we have this person.
What is this? It's a very comprehensive verse. Behold the
friends of Allah, the warning of Allah.
They have, therefore, no fear. No fear. This is an emotion, a
debilitating emotion, a negative emotion, what is to come and
anticipate the danger.
No they grieve or something that has happened and something that is
occurring. So no negative emotions fits with anything that is to go
and anything.
That was left behind, anything that deserved to happen now,
especially at the time of
death,
those who have Iman and they have
to
be the basis for the remedies that I will speak about.
They
live their life, they embrace life, and they go about their
business dealings and their family, mixing with their family
all the time to please. Allah, I do not want to add to the stigma
that's already attached to mental illness. We should destigmatize
that this is exacerbating the problem.
We are isolating people that are suffering. Their voices are going
unheard. They are crying because nobody understands, because we
stigmatize them so they're not living properly. That's why they
feel like this. So that we should not do but at the same time, you
must understand that with every sin comes a negative emotion. With
every sin comes a negative emotion. Allah. Place this into
the heart of every Muslim so they can prevent it and
death
to Allah, nothing affects him, whether he gets tired, whether he
falls ill, know any anxiety or depression, or sadness, or in your
arm that is afflicted against him, looking in distress, even a
thought that will breaks him, except Allah subhanho wa Taala
wipes away sins. Understand that Allah, if it's a physical thing
that is that is hurting us, what about the emotional distastes that
we are going through? Allah recognizes each and every emotion
that goes to us. So let me get directly to the to the cures. So
I've missed eight points, and I've kind of made a
little sentences to help us memorize this. So I've never done
this talk in this particular way dealing with the remedies before I
deal with the causes.
So number one,
so the phrase, the phrase that that we can easily is observe
punctuality, observe. So starting with the whole origin, you find
that various places in the Quran, Allah, Subhanahu wa addresses the
origin of man. How does this benefit us? Allah speaks about the
developmental stages of the fetus in the womb of the mothers. Then
he speaks about how the womb comes into the body. Allah speaks about
he
will
pass by from one stage to the next stage. Allah speaks about
the Shabbat,
the shababa stage, which is beautiful, and the guru and the
Shehu for the various stages of man, the very age, at the very
last, is halaq.
Allah speaks about how we going to die. So this is origin. How does
this solve a mental illness or depression that we might be going
through? People are laying in bed not wanting to get up, stay in bed
the whole day. What song? Rather strong system. So going to get up
and divorce is the point of getting up. I'm unemployed. I've
been looking for the job for the past couple of months. What's the
point of going forward? There's no purpose in life. Understand how
early journey come from. Imagine people that are traveling. Imagine
you go to sleep in a comfortable bed and you wake up in a moving
train. How do you get to the train? Nobody knows. How do you
get there? Are you in danger? Are you safe? Where's the destination
of the state? Imagine the anxiety of someone that falls asleep in a
comfortable bed and wake up in a moving train, not knowing how we
got there. This is the state of people, if it's going to produce
anxiety. In that example, what about life? How did we get here?
As we said, we don't have that problem. We know where we came
from.
Secondly, we know there's a purpose. So the punctuality, the
period for purpose, Helios Eli, we have a purpose in life. So why do
I need to look for a job if the unemployment is so why fast?
Because Allah has designed us for the purpose, and the purpose is to
move forward as a result of that purpose, we don't have a we don't
have a choice in that particular matter.
So we have we know where we came from, and we have a purpose in
life. Each and every one of us, if anyone of us, claims that we do
not have a purpose.
For space in this world, we're actually making a very bad dream
against
Allah. Allah has created us avatar. Nothing to blame. Allah
does not create anybody at anything,
no. Allah. Subhanahu wa, he
has wisdom. So we do have a purpose. Every single day we get
up
the one who is successful. He's the one. First of all, he has,
secondly, he is,
he is sustained. He
has enough to go on.
Maximizes and satisfices. Maximizes are people that is
always looking for the best. They always come back with nothing
they want the best of food, the best restaurants and wherever they
go. They always dissatisfied. Satisfices. They look for a line
that's okay. They go with that line. They have their form. And
they are opening. They satisfy with the little Allah, Subhanahu
that is given to him. And then Allah sustained. Allah gives him
conking, that is that is gold. If you are concave, then what you
have,
because now people like you have onions and onions, but they don't
have the heart. Obviously, the best thing is that
is a gift that
only allows
so there's a origin, there's a purpose in life. Embrace, trust.
That's the second phrase. Embrace, really, engage, move forward. Why
must I look for a job?
Why must I go forward? What's the point? I don't see any light at
the end of the tunnel. Why must I move forward?
This addresses the fear of failure, fear of failing in
business. The business may not be space, day and night. What if I
don't make it the end of this month? And if I make it this
month, what if I not don't make it the end of next month? I need to
secure this.
Need to take this because I can't sleep anymore. I'm scared. I don't
want to convert to any relationship because I'm scared.
I'm scared of going into this region, and fear of failure.
You have ridiculous at the beginning of the year, they are
depressed one of the worst times in their life,
or because they want what's going to happen if I fail? So fear of
failure, this addresses that issue. Speak about the cause. So
embrace life, because all those who are wants us to move forward
in the result, like I mentioned before, that is not up to us. For
those people that are stressed for something that might happen. You
might fail. The marriage might not work out. You might not be a good
father. You're not you might not be a good businessman. That fear
is diverting. She can't scares you, and once he scares you, he
demands you all in peace and evil acts. So move forward, and then,
when moving forward, understand the result is,
do what Allah requests of us, and
it Has Allah subhanahu wa says, do
your best
to bring to please me. I will give you a good life, and cannot be
classified with what is outside, because nothing it must be what is
inside, and that is
so
embrace, trust. The next phrase is, do value time. This is
counting a calamity, a calamity within itself, loss of job, loss
of life, loss of property, loss of relationship. These are causes
that is actually is making people commit suicide, outdated, and we
have the answers in the Quran. So the phrase is,
do value time two full degree. Something has occurred. Somebody
lost a loved one. Somebody has lost a job. Some property was
still
we saw a couple of weeks ago. Our people are brutally murdered.
People are being kidnapped, and we see this. How do you deal with
something like this? Where is the justice of Allah, the first
heavenly to a calamity? Again, not the calamity itself. It's how we
deal with the calamity
we understand.
That this is decree, the decree of Allah subhanahu wa nothing happens
in this world except that it is decreed by Allah subhana wa taala.
And understand that Allah is
an Ali. Allah knows everything, and Allah is an Hakim. Allah is
Most wise. We might not understand how things happen. Example, we've
seen on the internet how people are willing to be murdered, and
we see the sky offering
Can we ask ourselves, is the justice of Allah SWT
understand that somebody that has died, evicting their life attains
the heck of water? And if you were supposed to come back, you would
wish that you would direct that again,
the justice of Allah, subhana wa Taala will be served on such a
person, raising him in the neck. We see the physical banks of
death. We do not see the beautiful face of running. Let this be a
content for those who have lost their loved ones in a brutal
manner,
has shown them the most beautiful of faces their soul was extracting
the most beautiful of ways, angels coming down
and don't Fear, don't have griefs of
Jannah, which have been promised, that is how the soul is extracted
from that body, despite, despite what we might see
as for the family, infinite difficulty that they go through
Allah, SWT, as for the bogotas, where's The justice of Allah?
Because they have escaped
our law.
Going to be they cannot escape Allah subhanahu wa justice will be
served. This will add the next where is the content in their
hearts, day in and day out. They cannot sleep. They are running
like wild animals, chasing after the hour they see money this
direction they need
to rob someone like animals. That's their life. Their death
will be worse. And what is waiting in the public is worse. What's
working in the Asmaa is worse for those with lost loved ones, so
that is the decree of Allah subhana
wa. Then also, to deal with the calamity, we need to see what
value do we place in this world to the value we place in the next
world, we have two cars. One
car is very cheap, and the one car is very expensive.
The cheap car, if the scratch goes on the car, or something happens
to that car, you'll be hurt, but not so much. If the expensive car,
the one, we're putting a lot of time and effort and money in and
sacrifice, then we're going to feel it.
Here's an example. We find that people children are being hurt all
around the world, and it hurts us. We reach out with empathy, but
it's very different if it is our children, because our hearts are
attached to that. I use this example because if something
happens in this dunya, be thankful to Allah, and it didn't happen in
the
what are we going to do when we have problems crossing the bridge,
when we have Prophet problems seeing on the
Deaf Giana, wife, who raised me blind,
used to see. What we going to do on that day when we cannot see and
people are clashing into each other like waves and chaos. Be
grateful it's not happening.
Be grateful that we will be standing under the ash of Allah,
the Shaykh,
under the Shaykh.
So the problem happened in this this world. It's hard. My heart
pains. We cry. We lost enough. Value of this world
compared to the value of the next world, it is Allah, if you love
anything more than Allah, very carefully, Allah makes it very
destruction. And what if that time for my wife, my husband, because
I'm chasing after opposition. You know that for the past three
years, I can't spend time with you. Can eat with us? No, I can't
eat with you.
Can daddy spend time with us on a Saturday? No time my son. I need
to chase I need to secure your future. Is no time at meetings.
Have to fly after Friday
is no time.
So understand we need to place value in things that Allahu,
subhana wa value,
and we need to place her to.
Value in things that Allah is not given value.
So understand, in dealing with the calamity, we need to see where we
place our value, and then understand this world is a test.
This world is a test the previous point when we make something out
we love it all in Allah, Allah makes it our own destruction. So
that very position you chasing after now you can't sleep anymore.
Why not leave you after meeting anxiety, of anxiety, depression,
liberation after depression, chasing, chasing, chasing, not
understanding that disposing of your destruction, leave that chase
the enemy.
Do what you need to do. You need to have to make a fight. Go to
make a fight. That's it. You have to come home with all your work.
You have to bring with other books, even students of being they
dream of marrying a
female, and that's how it's worse. Therapy
books like
that
have a normal life. Be content with me. For men, be a normal
person. Be a slave. Of all those who are give time to your
families, so And then, thirdly, so we have the value and then the
peace. So the test is, in the slightest, you're going to get
away from it, if you will escape the test, then you need to go on a
drug addiction, because then you will forget why. People
come from a different planet or so. They don't know where they're
going. They just forgot about everything. So they're going in
this.
You can't embrace this side and inside. We want to take that shot
again. Whatever someone to snap up the nose those alcoholics, they
want to drink to to make their mind. You know, away from this
world is no alcohol. What are you going to do there
when the reality kicks in? So this world will be filled with is
embrace it, because Allah, if He loves you, He will pay still,
because he wants to, he wants you to come to the street, you might
realize you can do nothing without him.
In the last three points, sell
your
seeds,
reap the benefit. So doing easier results, some people have been
diagnosed with terminal diseases, and they have a free of death and
there's no future after 40 or so.
We must know.
People
said you feel like a six
year old body. You know, then they can say that in the six year old
female life crisis, when you're 87 I'm still going to, still going to
go strong. But Muslims realize this. They prepare for they don't
have this field yet. When the doctor say, unfortunately, we got
mad. He was saying, You don't tell me if the news is good or bad.
That's the way. It's just news. It's not good or bad. We will
decide it was good or bad. Tell me the news. See, you have some type
of cancer. Who has
given me this cancer? He's going to be with me. He's given me
something. He's going to be with me right through. So how is this?
To happen? We don't have a fear of death, because we understand that
the soul has been united with the united with the body in the wounds
of the mother. That soul will never depart from the body in
terms of its attachment at the time of death. Yes, it will be
extracted from the body, but it will still be attached to that
body somehow. So the soul is trapped into the body in this
world. And when we die, it goes from this cage and it goes free
into the that is the soul of a Muslim, a soul of a sinner. It
goes from one cage to the next cage. So the covid becomes this
other cage. So we have no fear of death. That's another cause of
suicide and depression. The doctor said something sometimes he was
diagnosed as well. I know someone that the doctor must diagnose him,
and he thought he's going down. Started losing weight that, you
know, we sit behind with everyone, and then you got the second
opinion. This is just a weakness. Just need to take your sugar
villages and everything next week. Again, helps. It's how you process
that information. The last I didn't mention all the causes we
take the 10 points the last years. And I know everybody's going to
look down at this, maybe because we do not understand the concept
properly, is diploma constantly in the remembrance of Allah.
Every time you look at something, it reminds you of Allah. Every
time you see something beautiful, every time you see something
perfect, every scene, every time you see something beneficial, you
remind yourself of Allah and what happened.
You
realize
so these calamities that is happening to me, it's not nice,
okay? I'm okay because the love of Allah over
behold the
heart becomes authentic. So those are
maybe three quarter out. Observe punctuality. Impress us. Do value
time. Sow seeds and be content if you can remember that that's the
best I could do because of this anxiety is, number one, they don't
people don't know why they with a purpose in life. Number two, there
is fear of failure. Number three, when calamity strikes, the
emotions that goes with that. Number four, fear of death. And
number five, not reaching your goals, those 10 points that I've
mentioned, is a cure For all of these. You
