3. Depression Management in Islam

📍Problem: Loss of dear ones

📍 Solution: Keep hope on Allah

📍 Story of Prophet Yakoob AS and Yusuf AS is good example for those who loss their loved ones but still have a feeling that they can be re-joined with their loved relatives.

It took decades before both met when prophet Yakoob was blind and very old. But he kept his hope on Almighty in all his days of suffering.

We should take a lesson from the story that keeping hope on Allah is the best solution, May be he has better plan for the loss person.

 

📍Remember the words of Prophet Yakoob AS as mention in Quran

•       قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّـهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّـهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ۔ يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّـهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّـهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ

•       اُس نے کہا "میں اپنی پریشانی اور اپنے غم کی فریاد اللہ کے سوا کسی سے نہیں کرتا، اور اللہ سے جیسا میں واقف ہوں تم نہیں ہو۔ میرے بچو، جا کر یوسفؑ اور اس کے بھائی کی کچھ ٹوہ لگاؤ، اللہ کی رحمت سے مایوس نہ ہو، اس کی رحمت سے تو بس کافر ہی مایوس ہوا کرتے ہیں" (12:87)

•       He said: "I will address my sorrow and grief only to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know. (86)  My sons! Go and try to find out about Joseph and his brother and do not despair of Allah's mercy. Verily only the unbelievers despair of Allah's mercy." (12:87)
