Bismillahirrahmanirraheem. This usrah is based on the marvellous book authored by Dr 'Aid al Qarni : La Tahzan. Pg 209-210. The word within the (_) sign is a synonym to the word before it.

 

 

 

Don't Be Sad: Sooner or Later Everything in This World Perishes

 

       Death is the end of us all: the oppressor and the oppresed, the mighty and the feeble, the rich and the poor. Your death is no novelty. Nations before have gone and nations after will perish.

 

       Ibn Batoota related that in the north, there is a graveyard with one thousand kings buried in it. At the entrance of this graveyard is a sign that reads:

 

       "The Kings, ask the dirt about them,

         And about the great leaders; they are all bones now."

 

       A cause for wonder is the forgetfulness of man and how he remains heedless (oblivious) of death, the menace (threat) of which hangs over him day and night. Man delues himself into thinking that he is immortal on this earth.

 

{ O Mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgement) is a teribble thing.} (Quran 22:1)

 

{ Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness. } (Quran 21:1)

 

      When Allah destroyed a nation and wiped out a transgressing people, He, the Almighty, said:

 

{ Can you find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them? } (Quran 19:98)

 

 

Depression Leads To Misery

 

       The newspaper al-Muslimoon reported that in 1990, two million people suffered from depression around the world. Depression is a sickness that has quietly wreaked (inflicted) havoc on humankind. It does not distinguish between people from the west or east, or between the rich and poor. It is a malady (illness) that attacks all kinds of people... and may in certain cases lead to suicide.

 

       Depression does not recognize or stand in awe of wealth, nobility (nobleness) or power. However, it does stay aloof from the believer. Some statistics indicate that 200 million people are now suffering from depression.

 

       The findings of a recent study showed that at least one out of every ten people has at one time or another suffered from this dangerous sickness. The danger is not restricted to adults; even the young are now susceptible (vulnerable) to depression. Even the fetus in the womb is at risk, for a depressed mother can turn to abortion as a means of escaping from her problem.
