Do not be sad :: Special Islamic Reminder

Shaikh A’id al Qarni gave us the following advice in his book “Dont be sad”

• If you are stricken by poverty…others are chained in debt

• If you don’t have shoes … others have no feet

• If you have committed a mistake…correct it – the doors of repentance ever open!

• The fountain of forgiveness is ever rich

So dont be sad, let all bygones be bygones

What is predestined for you, you shall see it happen

Being sad will not change anything
So dont be sad
Sadness spoils your life
So dont be sad
Supplication is your shield
Prayer is your beacon
So dont be sad
Prostrration is your means …
So dont be sad

• See how vast is the Earth, How nice are the gardens and forests
  How bright are the stars – all are happy but you are sad…

  so dont be sad

• You have sweet water to drink – fresh air to breather – feet to walk with
  You sleep safely in your bed

  So dont be sad

• Every cloud has a silver lining
  After long nights come the bright sun
  Life will soon give you a smile
  So be ready to get it

  And dont be sad!

• Real life is that spent in happiness
  So cross out your sad days from your age! Peace of mind is the real treasure

Abu Hurayra reported Allahs Messenger said

“Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for that is more likely to keep you from despising Allahs favour on you”

So Brothers & Sisters, there are many who have les than us, and who are going through more than us, let us all sit and reflect and praise and give thanks to Allah for all of the blessings we have, all the good that has been given to us..and let us also remember those who do not have much, in our dua (our prayers)

Brothers and Sisters … DO NOT BE SAD
