[slm] Hi everybody! I get this kind of e-mail everyday...its like a good reminder! :) Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, I pray that this reaches you in the best of health and Eeman. The full title of this section is “Do Not Daydream - Work, Strive, And Abandon Inactivity.” Dr. Richard Cabot, Professor of Medicine at Harvard University wrote in his book “How Humans Live”: “As a physician, I am a proponent of work as a remedy for those who suffer from nervousness that results from doubts, fears, and indecisiveness. Work inspires bravery; it was self-confidence that made Emerson so superb.” A Qur’anic verse reads: “Then when the [Friday congregational] prayer is finished, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah [by working etc.]…” Surah Al-Jumuah – Ayah 10. George Bernard Shaw said: “Perhaps the secret of depression is in allowing yourself to have time for superfluous thought, especially in whether you are happy or not. Don’t allow such thoughts to creep into your mind; rather, you should remain steadfast in working. When you apply yourself to a serious task, your blood will begin to circulate and your mind will be spurred into action. You will find that your new life has quickly been eradicated of anxiety and worrisome thoughts. Work, and do so on a continual basis; for this is the most inexpensive remedy available on the face of the earth and is the most effective.” A verse of the Qur’an says: “And say [O’ Muhammad]: ‘Do deeds! Allah will see your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger and the believers.’” Surah Taubah – Ayah 105. The British statesman and novelist Benjamin Disraeli stated that: “Life is too short to be trivial.” And a wise saying of the Arabs goes: “Life is too short to make it even shorter through disputes.” “He [Allah] will say: ‘What number of years did you stay on earth?’ They will say: ‘We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account.’ He [Allah] will say: ‘You stayed not but a little, if you had only known!’” Surah An-Nur – Ayah’s 112-114. |
