 Always be conscious of the fact that Allah is aware, that Allah is there, that He's watching. When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanded Musa and Harun to go to Firaun, go and invite someone to faith who believes He's God. You think you have difficulty with interfaith? Imagine you're talking to someone who thinks He's God. Who is very stressful for Musa and Harun. What does Allah say? What does Allah tell them to help them manage their stress? Qala la ta khafa, don't be afraid, inni ma akuma asma wa ara. I am with you, I see and I hear everything. Know that Allah is there. Imam al-Husayn alaihi s-salam on the day of Ashura, what does he say? When his family members were being slaughtered. I mean, talk about emotional trauma. One of the things that Imam al-Husayn says is, what makes the one thing that consoles me on this day, the day when Abbas is being mutilated, the day when Ali al-Akbar is being killed, the day when the noble companions are being slaughtered before his eyes, the Imam says the one thing that gives me comfort is that Allah is watching. Hawwana alaih ma nazala bi annahu bi a'in illa. Know that Allah is there. He knows. He sees. Number two, remember that Allah is merciful. Allah in the Qur'an in Surah An-Nisa verse 29, Allah says, la taqtulu anfusakum. Don't kill yourselves. There's an ayah about suicide in the Qur'an. Allah says, do not take your life. Do not kill yourself. I know life can be difficult. There's a lot of stress. You feel like there's no light at the end of the tunnel. But what does Allah say? Inna allaha bi kum rahima. Don't kill yourself because Allah is merciful. Don't allow shaytan to convince you that there is nothing to live for, that Allah has not blessed you, that there's no mercy. Allah says, do not kill yourself. And the reason why Allah says don't kill, because I'm merciful, don't do this to yourself. Don't become blind to my ni'ma. Don't become blind to my grace. Do not allow shaytan to delude you, to deceive you. Number three, we have to keep in mind that life is riddled with hardships. As you and I, we have this expectation that I have to have a comfortable life, stress-free life. That's an unrealistic expectation. Shaykh, why is this happening to me? It's happening to you because we're in dunya. That's the nature of dunya. Allah says, laqad khalaqna l-insana fi kabbad. We created man to endure hardship. This life is about developing your soul. Your soul will only grow and mature if you struggle. If you experience hardships, when a baby is born, what does a baby who's born do? What do they do? They cry. They enter this world crying, which is a sign that this is a place of suffering and trial. And finally, we have to keep in mind that no matter if you're comfortable or you're suffering, no matter if you're at ease or you're stressed, no matter if you feel joyful or you feel depressed or sad, remember the impermanence of this life. It's all going to end. The good days are going to end. The bad days are also going to end. Sometimes we have bad days and we think that we're having a bad life. You're having a bad day. Don't exaggerate. It's going to end. It's temporary. The Qur'an tells us in Surah Al-Hadeed, verse 23, Don't get too excited about what you get in dunya because you're going to depart it. You're going to leave it. And don't grieve too much about what you miss because we're all leaving. We're all leaving this world. Don't get too attached. It's temporary. You know, just like when you take a child to get a shot, what does the doctor say? It's just going to hurt for a moment. It's just going to hurt for a moment. That's dunya. Allah is the doctor. And He's giving us the shot of dunya and He's telling us it's just going to hurt for a second. Be patient. It's going to end.
