When an anxiety and depression hits and sadness hits,
and we mentioned that I have the prophets Allah Salam, we give a
little background about this da we say the man was walking in the
masjid of the Prophet Salah Salem. And he was waiting for the
prophets in a random time. It wasn't a time of prayer. But he
was waiting for the prophet because he needed to have that
conversation with the Prophet salallahu Salam.
And then when he saw the Prophet, he asked him right away, he told
the prophets ya rasool Allah, Allah Allah but Allah uni, we're
Keturah Tala, yo homie, two things that he is struggling with. First,
he said, I have a lot of debts to pay off. And then he said, I also
struggle with a lot of bad thoughts in my mind, and I don't
know how to navigate those thoughts. So we said, a couple of
reflections about this incident, we said, if you need help, seek
help. And this exactly what happened. That Companion of the
Prophet was seeking help from who from the Prophet SAW Selim
himself. So I would consider the prophet at this point, is a
therapist, who is actually listening to the brother who came
up with a common complaint and concern that really irritates his
his life. And the Prophet sallallahu sallam was able to
process what he's going through, and then he gave him the solution.
So what is the diagnose that the Prophet Salah Salem gave him? We
spoke about two things last time. We said the Prophet told him as if
he gave him a diagnosis of what he's going through. He said, If
you want really a real solution, make this dua and this guy is
beyond just a resuscitation of few words, but there's so much into it
so many gems in this God. He said, Say Allah Houma, in the Hour will
do became Middleham me well, husband, so the two first things
that he diagnosed this brother with was Ahem,
ahem.
And we're going to know the definition of ham, what hasn't?
Now, the scholar spoke about this, and said that Al ham, things that
worry you for the future, things that have to do with the future,
things that you're thinking about in the future challenges, you
know, that you're constantly thinking about, for you and your
family that you may go through and it's, you know, it's really
hurting your present.
And then al hasn't he said things that have had have had been done
in the past, and you're still calling those thoughts in the
present. So the Prophet told him Your problem is not your present
your problem whether it's the past, whether it's the past, and
that you're still you know, living in your past present of your past
or things that have to do with your future you're so anxious
about your future
and and he said, you know, these two things that I've seen in you
in addition to two more things, he said
I'll hum while hasn't and enlarges
while castle,
but before we go too large, the word castle, you know, what's
beautiful, about salah
about prayer? Is that smaller the Prophet said it he said, you're
allowed to correlate to it for Salah. I find comfort in my
prayer. Do you know how the Prophet was finding comfort in his
prayer
is because he was seeking who are mindfulness and what mindful means
is to actually live your present
is to push all of your thoughts of the past away, and is to not be
worried about your future.
You're just thinking about the moment that you're talking to
Allah subhanho wa taala. Your present. Brothers and sisters,
this is a mental discipline process that we go in a daily in a
daily basis, five times a day.
Salah is meant to be for you to connect to Allah subhanaw taala
and to live your present and also a discipline of your mind, your
discipline in yourself, not to worry about the future, not to
think about your past.
That's what Salah does. Now, another diagnose as if it's a
diagnosis and the Prophet gave that brother he told him, You know
what, I also see something else
sometimes is good to have sort of an anxiety, just a little bit of
an anxiety, meaning that, you know, recession is happening now
is going to happen in the future. Isn't it?
It will push you to think about the future plans, the financial
plans that you have for next year, there's an anxiety of maybe a
relationship, a little bit of an anxiety that can push you to
actually work on and fix your relationship with your spouse.
These are good and anxiety, the best thing is to have about your
Diem, like you're anxious about, you know, your relationship with
Allah subhanaw taala. That's, that's good is needed.
But here, the Prophet told him, this is not the anxiety that I'm
I'm referring to, I'm referring to an anxiety that make that make you
this able to function properly.
Meaning what meaning if you're, if you're still living in your past,
not to learn from your past, but you're still live in a present in
your past. And those incidents are constantly coming to your present.
And you're still thinking about the possible challenges you will
have in the future to the point that makes you disable AI just has
a lot to do with capacity, power energy, you don't have the
capacity to do certain things, you don't have the color for it.
While Castle, there is a tiny difference. Castle has to do with
well, that willingness that Iran so you have the capacity, but you
don't desire to do certain things. You see the difference? Here we
see that I just you don't have even the capacity, your past and
your future are making you disabled to function. May Allah
subhanaw taala protect us all yadda blah, because sometimes just
feel like you're home and you're not able to even you know get up
from your bed.
You recalling all of these incidents in the past, and you
just find it so hard to even go and get outside and and start your
day.
Castle is not that
guesses like you have the capacity to do it. You have the power to
get up. You have the energy for it, you have the health for it,
but you choose not to
that has to do with the Iran. So the Prophet told him in order for
you to pay off all of your debts. And in order for you to function
properly, you need to take care of these four things. Ahem don't
focus too much in your future to the point that makes you disable
and hasn't don't don't really call some incidents in the past that
really can hurt you alleges seek protection from Allah subhanaw
taala to always make you have the capability of of being productive.
And then I'll caisson he told him Listen, as if this just I'm just
analyzing the speech of the Prophet as if the prophet was
still in that brother. You know, in order for you to be able to pay
your debts, you need to get up and work you need to do you need to do
some work, you need to work on your plans, get everything
possible to be able to pay off all of your all of these deaths. So
again, four things, we need to memorize them in sha Allah Tala al
ham, what's a ham, and anxiety of the future. Things that were you
in the future? I'll hazard recalling incidents from the past,
and still has an effect an impact on your present.
Largest. You're incapable. The capacity you don't have the
capacity, they don't have the energy you don't have the torque
or the power for it. And then Alcacer you don't have the irida
you're not willing to do certain things out of desire, out of your
capacity. May Allah subhanaw taala protect us or your anatomy from
