THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 17th day of Jumaadal Awwal, 1445AH (Friday, 1st December, 2023). PRACTICE THE ESCAPE-PHENOMENON IN AN EFFORT TO CURE YOUR DEPRESSION. Bismillah.

Some scholars of Islaam have develop this highly advanced skill to learn which is difficult but very effective which is actually sunnah. By Escape Phenomenon I’m not implying that you should escape your surroundings everytime you feel depressed. There’s a fine balance that needs to be maintained. You need to learn emotional resilience as well, another cool skill that will help you stay strong in tough emotional situations. When the negativity around you ( whether in your social circle, house, workplace, relationship etc) gets too much for you to handle, politely get up and walk away, in marriage, its good to separate for some days or weeks to reset yourself. Nobody understands exactly what’s going on your head, but you do. If the noise around you is getting louder and making you anxious, or the sarcasm/ negative comments/ rude behaviour/ other people committing sins etc is making you depressed .. walk away.

Meaning, if you become upset, lie down. Rest. Sleep. Listen to Surah Baqarah. Make wuddu. Pray  and make dua. Do anything that will slowly sponge out the negative energy that’s boiling inside of you.

The amazing benefits of practicing the escape phenomenon is that you will save yourself from creating an emotional outburst (yelling, shouting, crying, cursing etc ). You will save others from getting hurt or disturbed by your emotional outburst. You will raise your self-esteem a little everyday. You will become a more optimistic and positive Muslim (this won’t happen overnight ofcourse). This is something each of us must practice and act upon. No one is perfect so lets start practicing and implementing. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
