Reviewing a video by Nouman Ali Khan - Sadness & Depression
Assalamualaikum gaiss..
As a student who is about to enter 'the real world', which is adulthood, it's not uncommon to say that we seem to gain more and more responsibilities (and problems) as we age.
But then, as Allah has said;
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (Qur’an, 2:286).
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (Qur’an, 2:286).
As a human being, being sad is fine. Being depressed is fine. Being disappointed is also fine. But then, Allah reminds us that everything will pass. The problem you're having right now is not going to be there forever. Allah wants us to move on, making sure that every single day is better than the previous one.
Even if it's not better, maintaining it is good enough, because at least, you've done something today, right?
