How to be successful in life

(In the light of the Glorious Qurân and the Sunnah)

... CONTINUATION OF THE PREVIOUS PART ...

8 – Steadfastness of heart and not being disturbed about the imaginary things that bad thoughts may bring to mind.

For when a person gives in to his imagination and lets his mind be disturbed by these thoughts, such as fear of disease and the like, or anger and confusion stirred up by some grievous matter, or the expectation of bad things and the loss of good things, that will fill him with worries, distress, mental and physical illness and nervous breakdowns, which will have a bad effect on him and which causes a great deal of harm, as many people have seen.

But when a person depends on Allah and puts his trust in Him, and does not give in to his imagination or let bad thoughts overwhelm him, and he relies on Allah and has hope of His bounty, that wards off his worries and distress, and relieves him of a great deal of mental and physical sickness.

It gives indescribable strength, comfort and happiness to the heart.

How many hospitals are filled with the mentally sick victims of illusions and harmful imagination; how often have these things had an effect upon the hearts of many strong people, let alone the weak ones; how often have they led to foolishness and insanity.

Oh ALLAAH Grant us 'ilm, hikmah and 'amal!
Aameen Ya Rabbal 'Aalameen!

w ALLAAHu subhanu wa ta'ala 'Aalam!

Take Care,

As Salaam O 'Alaykum Wa Rehmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh!
