Six ways to remove sadness and depression through Qur’an and Sunnah; a thread

1. Life is a test, Never give up Allah mentioned all of it in the Qur'an. And whoever passes this test will enter the Paradise.

“And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient.”
“Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”

“Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.”

-Quran | 2:155-157
2. Always be positive even if you are sad, try to become a positive thinker, and overthinking will lead you to the extreme depression.

Narrated by ibn-Jaz: i have not seen anyone who smiled more than the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

-Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 4002
3. Never be afraid, Always remember that Allah is with you, & He never wants the worst but the best for you.

“Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty.
And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”

-Qur’an | 02:268
4. Recite Qur’an and offer Salah (prayers). Truly Qur’an and Salah gives the peace of one’s soul.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “O Bilal, make the call for prayer. Give us comfort by it.”

-Sunan Abu Dawood | Hadith 4985
5. Look at those who have less than you And be thankful to Allah.

“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.”

-Quran | 14:07
6. When you will see the good in the world, the world will seem a better place for you. Don't try to indulge in negative things and thoughts. Thank to Allah in every step and its good for you.
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “Wondrous is the affair of a believer, as there is a good for him in every matter. This is the case for anyone but the believer. If he experiences pleasure, he thanks Allah and it's good for him.
If he experiences haram, he shows patience and it's good for him.”

-Sahih Muslim | 2999

More from Life

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
