14. Depression Management in Islam

▶️ Problem: Habitual sinners

▶️ Solution: Sincere Repentance

📍 Some people are habitual sinners; they commit sins, feel the remorse in their heart, but due to weak personality they again tempted to sin. When this attitude becomes a routine then it will become difficult to become sincere.

Many people just leave the hope of becoming pious; when they look on to their past life they find accumulation of huge sins which give them a feeling that their situation cannot be corrected.

For such people Allah give them a glad tiding that if they repent sincerely then all their previous sins will be pardoned by Him

📍 What’s expected from us is:

✅ Develop a feeling of deep regret over previous life

✅Complete abstain from the sins

✅Do Sincere repentance (Taubath un Nasooh)

✅Make a strong determination to keep oneself on right path

✅Keep good companionship

✅Start doing more good deeds as they will compensate their wrong ones.

✅Fasting in Ramadan, hajj & Umra are few of the good deeds which clean us from all our previous sins

Quran says

•       يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّـهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ

•       اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، اللہ سے توبہ کرو، خالص توبہ، بعید نہیں کہ اللہ تمہاری برائیاں تم سے دور کر دے اور تمہیں ایسی جنتوں میں داخل فرما دے جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہوں گی 66:8

•       Believers, turn to Allah in sincere repentance; maybe your Lord will expunge your evil deeds and admit you to the Gardens beneath which rivers flow.
