Keep telling yourself that God alone is enough for you and as long as you work hard and trust him, you’ll go great. Plus, rid your life of negative people.

Theres some active things you can do, like seeing friends, going hiking / working out, going on a small vacation, etc etc. But what seems to help me the most is change of mindset and perspective coupled with all the active distractions mentioned above. Building strong faith that everything happens the way it’s supposed to / written is very important. Realizing your purpose here is to please Allah will help you refocus and prioritize, and it will in a way minimize any disappointment we experience in this dunya. Hope that helps, and iA you feel better soon

Remember this will pass. Listen to uplifting lectures. Make dua when you feel sad and in despair. It’ll pass. Better days ahead.

I like to exercise. Really helps me to get out of my funk. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Can't contribute to my company's 401K due to all being Haram. So, I'm stuck with 30 funds that I have to choose from and all of the options have multiple or many companies in their holdings that have above 30% interest bearing debt, interest bearing securities and/or deal with Haram services. I don't want to invest in these funds that hold such companies, but I want to retire. What do I do? Also my company doesn't allow adding our own stocks or linking to a broker because I'm in consulting.

I’ve been going through quite a rough time and ended up in hospital partially due to stress. Work and personal life stress. Tawakul is there and I’m put my full trust in Allah that he’ll make a way for me out of what feels like rock bottom. I honestly don’t know what to do when it comes to work. The idea of going back to work is giving me anxiety. Before I got ill I was crying in meetings (virtual meeting and on mute). I just feel hopeless and lost 😔

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

Today’s Beautiful Message is about Supreme Capability
Blessed is the One in Whose Hands rests all authority. And He is Most Capable of everything.

(Surah Al Mulk 67:1)

Nothing is impossible for Allah. In times of distress AND in times of peace, continue to reach out to Him. Pour your heart out to the One who understands it the most, and the One who loves you the most. He is available right this very moment, so read this message and make a dua :) Alhamdulillah for our Lord.
