Seek Allah Protection Against Despair
Allah said “We have given you good tidings on the basis of the revelation of truth therefore do not be of the despairing ones of the mercy of Allah. He said, “And who despairs of the mercy of Lord but the erring ones?” (Quran, Al Hijr, 15:55,56)
“Say, O My servants who have committed excesses against their own souls, do not despair of the Mercy of Allah. Surely, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Greate protector, The Ever Merciful.” (Quran Al Zumur, 39:53)
“Those who believe and whose hearts find peace in the rememberance of Allah. Look! It is in the remeberance of Allah alone that the heart really find peace.” (Quran Al Ra’d, 13:28)
It is beyond human being’s approach to reach the depth of Allah’s creative decisions
The strong belief in the religion protects the Muslim against all sorts of desperations
Stay away from the sense of despair
We must not forget that it is not Muslim’s honor to become disappointed
Reasons should never be taken as everything
We must look into the realities behind the reasons
It is our belief that everything is from Allah
Nothing can happen without His order
We must keep in view that every move of the nature is full of strategy
We must not lose hope on Allah on any situation
Allah will guide His True Believer in the straight path
Never despair for the Mercy of Allah
Satan (Devil)  is the ultimate agent of despair
Despair is Satan’s specialty
Satan strives to destroy our faith in Allah, our faith in ourselves, our faith in others
Islam is not a religion filled with empty rituals and hypercritical rules and regulations
We forget what our real purposes in our life are
We were created to worship Allah Only
Nothing more and Nothing less
Islam is all about making and keeping a connection with Allah
We live our lives according to Allah Guidance
We gain the means and the ability to overcome any despair
Islam has the answer to all the problems that afflict humankind
Allah reminds us that this life is a transient pause on the way to life everlasting
This is the nature of life
There are three key points that allow the believer to free himself or herself from the shackles of life
They are Patience (Sabr), Gratitude (Shukr), and Trust in Allah (Tawwakul)
Sadness and worry are part of the human condition
The believer must forge a bond that is unbreakable
It may be that you dislike a thing that is good for you
You like a thing that is bad for you
Allah knew but you do not know
The life of this world was designed by Allah to maximize our chances of living a blissful life in the Hereafter
Having patience meant having the ability to stop ourselves from despairing
Having patience meant to refrain from complaining
Having patience meant to control ourselves in times of sadness and worry
We are beset by sadness and worry our first reaction should always be turning to Allah
By recognizing His Greatness and Omnipotence
We begin to understand that Allah can ease our troubled souls
Allah advised us to call on Him
In times of sorrow and stress, contemplating the names of Allah can bring great relief
Calling Allah names will help us focus on being calm and patient
Human beings are frail
Our tears fall, our hearts break and the pain is sometimes almost unbearable
Patience means accepting what is beyond our control
In times of stress and anxiety, being able to surrender to the will of Allah is a relief beyond measure
It means that we strive to please Allah in all aspects of our life
The first and foremost way is to worship Allah in the manner
We remember Allah by reading His Holy Book, Quran and contemplating its meanings
We gain a greater understanding of the life of this world and the hereafter
Allah is our only refuge
We know Allah words are true
We know Allah promise is true
