Handling Stress?

Each and everyone of us would be in the situation whereby we are  congested, jammed, blocked and feel hopeless. There is nothing much we may think of at that particular time as we are very stressful.

Well, Islam teaches us well on how to handle stress.

      1)      Strengthen our Faith :  

Try to add more value to our ibadah, whether the obligatory ones or the one which is sunnah.  Build trust in yourself that Allah really loves when we request and place hopefulness on Him. In fact, Allah says “ Ask from me, and I’ll grant your wishes”(Al Mukminun : 60) ..But be sure to be consistent, make certain that you do all this not when you are in distress only.

      2)      Tadabbur :

Yes, as human, we do not have the authority to see Allah. But we have proof of His Almighty.  Observing our surroundings makes us ponder how every single creature in the world breathes, with His Gracious, with His Merciful.

      3)      Zikir :

 Quran states, “ with zikir, you ‘ll be in calm.”(Ar-Rad, 38). Don’t procrastinate, start it !

      4)      Imagine :

 Have a lovely imagination of how heaven is to be. Everything is there, all what we ask for is in there, anything, everything…it’s our dreamland, it’s like a nothing is not achievable, you ask for it ! Wouldn’t it be nice? Would we want to be there? How? That would definitely , really inspire us to lead a better life, a sturdy motivation for us to get closer to our Creator.

      5)      Doa :

The different between those mukmin and the others are “Doa”. Doa reinforce our relationship with Allah. Doa is the weapon for every Muslim. Keep on asking from Allah, since Allah is the only One who knows better about us. He knew what the best is for us, and will plan the best for us. Don’t be sad, because we have Allah..He never leaves us.
