What made you sad today..

[Magic.]

I have been away on holiday twice in the few months to escape but every time i return england i just feel overwhelming sadness.

[LailaTheMuslim]

I just feel so adrift on this planet but it makes me feel that I am not being grateful enough, that kind of attitude itself being sinful.

The worst thing is I don't know how I, myself, Laila can approach Allah.

Its easy for me to write about tawakkul but tawakkul and accepting Allah's qadr.

But since I have a hard past tawakul is a big task to overcome. Alhamdulilah.

I like to think on the other side of the mountain there is a garden with flowers as a reward. For accepting Qadr and being grateful and patient. Its just a hard path to take.

Surah Balad verses 11-17

90:11:

But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep.

90:12:

And what will make you know the path that is steep?

90:13:

(It is) Freeing a neck (slave, etc.)

90:14:

Or giving food in a day of hunger (famine),

90:15:

To an orphan near of kin.

90:16:

Or to a Miskin (poor) afflicted with misery.

90:17:

Then he became one of those who believed, and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion.

[Layla_]

The worst thing is I don't know how I, myself, Laila can approach Allah.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be and blessings on him, said, “Allah Almighty says: I am as my servant expects me and I am with him as he remembers me. If he remembers me in himself, I will remember him in myself. If he mentions me in a gathering, I will mention him in a greater gathering. When he draws near me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to me walking, I come to him running.”

Sister, Allah is always there & is ready to respond to us when we call upon Him, jalla wa aala. Sometimes when I feel down, I just talk to Allah, not even dua but I just talk to Him. Like for example, ‘Ya Rabb, I love you so much please love me back. Ya Rabb, I just want to worship you & please you, make it easy for me’ etc. Honestly, talk to Allah & the feeling you get afterwards is amazing Subhanallah

I do sometimes wonder how those who have been/are going through extreme suffering and traumatic experiences manage to remain steadfast in faith, and how I would cope in similar circumstances..oh well Allah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear..

The fact I have to go to work tomorrow makes me sad. Although i am forever grateful i got this job sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming.

It is okay to feel sad as long as it don’t consume you .

My past .

[detached soul]

A few things made me sad today, but that's just my life. Always look at those worse off than you not those better off than you.

[Umm Uthmaan]

My throat is still sore. I can barely read a surah and that's it. Ramadan is almost here..so I don't know what to do.
I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow morning, and I hope that they can treat it and it goes away.
I fear that she might tell me that I need to rest my voice -_________- Khayr bi'dhnillah.

[LaylaAb]

Alhamdulilah I haven't felt sad for the past 3 months. Which was so good because I have had some serious issues that were causing me stress, sadness and much more for a few months. But today I was sad for a bit in the morning. I had a dream that was very stressful that replayed the stress I experienced a few months ago. It made me really sad.
