do not be weak nor sad

[Salahudin]

"So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers." (al 'Imrân 3:139)

No doubt, these difficulties that the Muslims are facing today will produce nothing but a viable and strong generation that will be able to sacrifice whatever they have in possession for the cause of Islâm.

Difficulties and afflictions should bring out the nation's hidden energies. It should incite its resoluteness and awaken it from slumber.

The nation of Islâm has produced men who are as gigantic as mountains in sciences and heroic achievements. Allâh has guided many generations through these men.

Brethren in Islâm! It is never known whether the earlier or later generations of this Ummah, is the best. Just as the rain produces plants, thus does our Ummah produce lions in each generation. Our Ummah is the nation that produced lofty figures like Khâlid Ibn Al-Walîd, Al-Muthannâ, Ibn Abî Waqqâs and later, Salâhuddîn. The nation of Islâm is a fertile and procreating nation. Whenever a hero is lost, he is replaced by heroes who raise the banners of the truth till eternity.

If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. (Qur'aan 9:40)

Don't Be Sad

Shaykh `Aa'id Abdullah al-Qarnee

Remember the favours of Allah upon you and how they surround you from above and below - indeed, from every direction.

"And if you would count the graces of Allah, never could you be able to count them." (Qur'an 14:34)

Health, safety, nourishment, clothing, air, and water - these all point to the world being yours, yet you do not realize it. You possess all that life has to offer, yet remain ignorant.

"He has completed and perfected His Graces upon you, [both] apparent [i.e. Islamic Monotheism, and the lawful pleasures of this world, including health, good looks, etc.] and hidden [i.e. one's faith in Allah, guidance for doing righteous deeds and also the pleasures and delights of the Hereafter in Paradise, etc.]." (Qur'an 31:20)

You have at your disposal two eyes, a tongue, lips, two hands, and two legs.

"Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both [Jinns and men] deny?" (Qur'an 55:13)

Can you picture yourself walking without feet? Should you take it lightly that you slumber soundly while misery hinders the sleep of many? Should you forget that you fill yourself with both delicious dishes and cool water while the pleasure of good food and drink is impossible for some, due to sickness and disease? Consider those faculties of hearing and seeing with which you have been endowed. Look at your healthy skin and be grateful that you have been saved from diseases that attack it. Reflect on your powers of reasoning and remember those that suffer from mental ailments.

Would you sell your ability to hear and see for the weight of Mount Uhud in gold, or your ability to speak for huge castles? You have been given abundant favours, yet you feign ignorance. Notwithstanding warm bread, cool water, easy sleep, and good health, you remain despondent and depressed. You think about what you do not have and are ungrateful for what you have been given. You are troubled by a loss in wealth, yet you have the key to happiness and many blessings. Contemplate and be thankful.

"And also in your ownselves [are signs], will you not then see?" (Qur'an 51:21)

Reflect upon yourself, your family, your friends, and the entire world that is around you.

"They recognize the grace of Allah, yet they deny it." (Qur'an 16:83)
