9. Depression Management in Islam

▶️ Problem: People’s Mocking

▶️ Solution: Forgiving others

📍 We often see people making fun of us when we are doing something challenging. When such people belong to our near and dear ones, it hurts a lot. We expect them to motivate and support us, but instead they discourage and warn us of the worst-case scenarios.

📌 If we take too seriously then we found ourselves heartbroken & dejected. We develop grudges against them. Quran Says the correct way forward is not only to restrain our anger but also to forgive them. This will lighten our heart and mind and help us to concentrate on more important tasks ahead. In such cases we should:

✅ Ignore people who are mocking us

✅ Restrain our anger and should not distract our resource in responding them

✅ Forgive them to get relaxed.

✅ Keep continuing our challenging path for success

Allah says:

•         وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٣٤﴾

•          جو غصے کو پی جاتے ہیں اور دوسروں کے قصور معاف کر دیتے ہیں ایسے نیک لوگ اللہ کو بہت پسند ہیں (3:134)

•        who restrain their anger, and forgive others. Allah loves such good-doers." (3: 134)
