sadness... another test from Him...

Be not sad, surely Allah is with us




Allah has asked us not be sad. He says:
"So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad.…"

[surah Al-Imran - Ayah 139].


"And grieve not over them (polytheists and pagans, etc.), and be not
distressed because of what they plot.."
[surah An-Nahl - Ayah 127].

"Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allâh is with us."

[surah At-Taubah - Ayah 40].


We are informed in the following verse about the believers that:
"…. there shall be no fear on them, nor shall they grieve."
[surah Al-Baqarah - Ayah 38].

Sadness enervates the spirit’s will to action, paralysing the body into inactivity. The secret of this is that sadness prevents one from action instead of compelling one towards it. The heart benefits nothing through grief. The most beloved thing to the Devil is to make the worshipper sad in order to prevent him from continuing on his path. Allah says:
" Secret counsels (conspiracies) are only from Shaitân (Satan), in order that he may cause grief to the believers."
[surah Al-Mujadilah – Ayah 10].
