Grief is an ailment that weakens a person. It corrodes one’s strength and vigour. It infiltrates the mind, causing distraction and debilitation, paving the path to depression and despair.
The Prophet ﷺ sought refuge in Allah ﷻ from grief and sorrow, imploring Him to fill his life with happiness.
In our lives, we encounter various sources of sorrow, ranging from financial difficulties and health issues to family conflicts and the burden of obsessive thoughts (OCD). Nevertheless, amidst these trials, one truth remains steadfast: we are in desperate need of Allah's guidance and support.
As the poet aptly remarked, "If you do not seek Allah's assistance, the first thing to destroy you will be your own effort."
So, what steps can we take to deal with grief and sorrow, and overcome them with the help and permission of Allah ﷻ?
In this course, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan teaches us how to battle these ailments with acts of obedience and find a way out of distress and sadness.
