DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 11th day of Sha'abaan (Saturday 4th April, 2020). A MUSLIM MUST NOT PANIC OR WORRY IN LIFE IF INDEED WE TRUST NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH. BismilLah.
Panic, Feelings of stress/wories and that life is too hard do not control a man's mind unless there are reasons that provoke these kinds of feelings. Rather they are indicative that the relationship between a person and his Lord is not sound. The more a man turns to ALLAAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAAH. Hence those who know ALLAAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’aan, as Allaah says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)”
[al-Nahl 16:97]. But feeling stressed is a kind of wake-up call that alerts a person to check on his relationship with his Lord, because sins may have the effect of making a person feel scattered and unfocused. ALLAH says:
“But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’aan nor acts on its teachings) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection” [Ta-Ha 20:124]. So with Coronavirus or not, just take precaution but fear not and avoid any panicking knowing nothing can happen to us without the permission of ALLAH. May ALLAH have mercy on us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
