sad souls wondering a sadistic world

This life and all the experiences will either break you or build you. It’s your choice! Choose to become stronger and more determined than ever before. Choose to overlook the evil in people that obviously exists and search for the few, precious gems that shine so brightly that darkness fades. Choose to learn from the experiences and become better than ever - never bitter.

It takes courage, strength and faith to continue to be optimistic despite the petty, immature and sometimes malicious acts of others. Remain hopeful and choose to use these experiences to build yourself with stronger armor, soaring ambitions and unyielding effort to always be your very BEST InshaAllah!

They are suffering from a disorder that needs to be treated with the same care and attention as physical illnesses.

If your child had pneumonia you would rush to the hospital. If they had any form of cancer you wouldn’t hesitate to get them the best treatment. If they were diabetic you would be supportive and understanding while providing the absolute best medical help.

What would you think of a parent who neglected getting medical attention for their children?

Why the double standard regarding mental health illnesses? Just because you can’t see the symptoms doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Many children are suffering silently or worse committing suicide because they are being neglected, misunderstood or blamed for their behavior. Please be informed about the symptoms of depression and anxiety in your children. Find them support and relief. They don’t have to suffer and neither do you.

And leaving that Islamic class you were planning to attend over the weekend because your relative needs help.

And leaving the portion of Quran you thought you’d finally get to because your friend is having an emotional breakdown and needs support.

And not being able to pray more at the masjid because it interferes with work hours and you have to provide for your family.

Even if it doesn’t innately make you feel close to God when you change a diaper or drive your siblings to school or go to work or help a friend, remember: Serving others, with the right intention, is an enormous act of worship.

In the words of Ibnul Qayyim, “Perhaps you might be asleep while the doors of Heaven are knocking with tens of supplications for you, by a poor person you aided or a sad person you cheered up or a distressed person you brought relief to. Therefore, do not underestimate doing good at all.”

The more you fill your heart up with negativity, the less room it will have for positivity. Meet, befriend, accompany, and hang out with positive people. Don’t ruin your own life by needlessly interacting with people who bring negativity to your specifc life. Not everyone is meant for each other. Some can be a great positive force for one person, yet an extremely negative force for another person and vice versa.

Positivity is contagious. It’s good for your health. It helps you sleep better, breathe better, feel better, love better, live better, and inshaAllah die better. The Messenger ﷺ said, “Let none of you die except that he has good thoughts with Allah.” [Muslim]
