Do not Grieve;
For if you are depressed, your friends will be sad,
foes will be happy and jealous ones will gossip.
Do not Grieve
Because your sadness won’t bring back what you have lost;
won’t bring back the dead, won’t change the fate, and be of no use.
Do not Grieve,
Because sadness is not good for your nerves,
will tire your heart and will ruin your nights.
Do not Grieve,
If you sinned, do repent; if you did something wrong, do correct it!
God’s mercy is limitless and his door is always open.
Do not Grieve,
Don’t be sad over what you have lost,
you still have a lot to be thankful for. Be grateful.
Doesn’t our Lord say?
"He gave you whatsoever you asked. If you try to count the favors of God
you will not be able to calculate. Man is most unjust indeed, full of ingratitude."
(Ibrahim (Surah 14) Abraham- 34)
Do not Grieve,
Don’t be sad because of the words of nonbelievers,
and don’t forget that your patience for them will be rewarded.
Never be unhappy as long as you do good for the people,
for the way to happiness is beneficence and making others happy.
Do not Grieve
Because the reward for goodness is from ten to seven hundred times,
punishment for the evil is only what it is worth.
Do not Grieve
The world is not about choices; nor about making a living,
the world is temporary and it is our test.
Do not Grieve
Even the bad times are a test for you.
How you behave might increase God’s love for you. God tests the faithful as well.
The gold is tested by fire; the people by hardship
Do not Grieve
If people compared their bad luck with the others,
they would be grateful for their own experience.
Do not Grieve
If you are worried about something think about the worst. What can be the worst outcome?
Then try to cope with that worst possibility and strengthen yourself to cope with it.
Remember the verses;
"Those who were told: "They have gathered an army be aware"
and their faith increased and they said:
“God is sufficient for us and the best of protectors”"
(The Family of Imran 173)
Do not Grieve;
Be in the moment
Don’t think about the past and don’t worry for the future and remember;
"Surely with hardship there is ease
With hardship there is ease..."
(Al Inshirah (94) /The Opening up 5-6)
And...Don’t forget...
There is PARADISE!
