 So, hosn or sadness is a condition for the heart which is much more safer than being too happy. Of course, you must be careful that this sadness doesn't reach the level of depression. That is another issue. The difference is that when you are depressed you do nothing. You become frightened to make any decision. You cannot do anything. But the sadness that I am saying is the sadness that makes you very active. The sadness that makes you determined not to lose any second of your life. The sadness that makes you look for a solution for your problems, for treatments for your illnesses. This type of sadness is very important. One of the characteristics of believers is that al-Mu'minom boshrohu fi wajhe wa hoznohu fi qalbe Mu'min is the one that when you look at his face you find him happy. He smiles. You don't find that he has big problems. Because he doesn't want you to feel sad for him. He tries to socialize. He tries to make you, you know, relaxed. But wa hoznohu fi qalbe. But in his heart, he feels very sad. Therefore, when he is alone with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he starts crying. Imam Zayn al-Abideen alaihi salam says in Dua Abu Hamza. He says He says, oh Allah, who is in a condition worse than my condition? If in such a condition that I have right now, I am going to be put in my grave. A grave that I have not prepared for my stay. A grave that I have not furnished with When you want to go just for a weekend to a holiday, you make sure that you find a very good hotel. Does it have, you know, bathroom inside or not? Does it have Wi-Fi, you know, everything you check, breakfast, everything? What about a place that we are going to be there for thousands of years and then afterwards this qiyamah which has no end? So Imam says, if this is the condition, so why I shouldn't cry? What stops me crying over my condition? So when Mu'min has these serious concerns in his or her heart, when he or she sees that he always promises to Allah that I am going to be a good person, then he fails. Of course he feels sad. Of course she feels sad. But this is a sadness that doesn't stop you to be active. This is the sadness that doesn't make you depressed. This is the sadness that the Prophet had during the night. He was crying like a mother who has lost his child. But during the day he was so active that he challenged all the emperors. When you are sad with Allah SWT, this gives you power. This is a sign of you being poor. But if someone is poor with Allah SWT, he is rich with the people. Imam Hussein alaihi salam has a beautiful statement in Dua'i Arafah. He says, Allahumma inni atawassalu ilayka befaqri. I am doing tawassalu. I am looking for a means that can intercede, can be between me and you helping me. What is that mean? That means is my poverty. To admit that I am poor, I am needy, is the greatest thing that we can take with us to Allah SWT. Of course this is in addition to your amal. This is in addition to tawassalu to Qa'an, to tawassalu to Ahlul Bayt. But if you have all that without this, they are not going to work. If you feel that you are not in need of Allah's favor and Allah's mercy, you are not going to achieve anything. But then there is a challenge. After saying, I am doing tawassalu with my poverty atawassalu ilayka befaqri, he says there is a challenge here. And he says, But how can I do tawassalu to something that is impossible to reach you? Because poverty does not reach Allah SWT. And poverty does not remain with the people who go to Allah SWT. You know sometimes you have a illness, you have pain. When you go to doctor, the pain or fever is not there. Then you don't know what to do. You say to doctor, I have no fever, but doctor checks there is no fever. I am taking my poverty with me to Allah SWT, but by the time I reach there, there is no poverty. Those who feel poor when they go to Allah SWT, Allah makes them the richest people. Those who feel sad because they feel that they are far from Allah SWT, Allah makes them the happiest people. Allah makes them so happy on the day of judgment that whoever looks at them realize these people are looking at Allah SWT. So sadness from a spiritual point of view can be very healthy condition if it is not excessive, if it is not radical, if it doesn't go out of control, if it is for good reasons, if it is a sign of seriously thinking about your problems, if it is a sign of seriously regretting your sins and mistakes. This is very good.
