More valuable than the things we give to each other are the gifts of virtues we pass on quietly to others through our selfless and noble actions. These gifts are truly precious because they are imperishable and they multiply the more we share them.

Signs Of Depression And Coming Out Of It

You feel depressed when you lack happiness and optimism about the possibilities that you have and a constantly negative consciousness and vision is produced. You lose hope. In depression you lack an interest in things. You are sensitive to criticisms, even if they are very little. You feel sadness, impatience, a lack of perspectives. You try to reach satisfaction through material means, like, for example, eating too much, eating sweet things, etc.

You get depressed because you remember past errors; because you need the experience of love in life; because you have developed the habit of seeing only the negative in each situation, without sensing that a positive side exists. The imagination behaves in a negative way; it is weakening, depressing and even destructive. Nothing seems attractive to you and you feel unmotivated.

To get out of this state it is important to accept yourself; keep a mental state of a detached observer; don't allow the mind to cling to depressing thoughts and tune it into the positive aspects of life. Sometimes negativity and weakness have overwhelmed you to such a point that in order to get out of that state you need a "bombardment" of positivism: go on a spiritual retreat or holiday to a suitable destination; surround yourself by good company; attend a course of personal development; get out of that state in which you are closed into yourself. Take the step. Nobody can do it for you.

The Mental Kaleidoscope

A kaleidoscope creates beautiful patterns from chaotic bits and pieces, which are scattered everywhere. When the kaleidoscope is turned, disorder becomes order, chaos becomes beauty and symmetry. The Drama of Life is constantly turning and we are part of its cyclic movement; sometimes this cyclic movement of life is supportive, comprehensible (understandable) and enjoyable and, at other times, it is tense, fearful, stressful and incomprehensible (not understandable). There is confusion and fear because we do not understand what is happening, why it is happening and how it will get better. Things not only appear chaotic but also hopeless. If the intellect is able to go beyond the questions of 'Why?', 'What?' and 'How?' and just be still, without judgments, or pressure, for some period of time, then things do work out. To do this requires faith.

The power of faith means that we know that somehow and somewhere right solutions and answers will come in their own time.

Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection."[Muslim].


Commentary:

This Hadith tells the excellence of reciting the Qur'an and acting upon its injunctions. Intercession (in this Hadath) means that the Qur'an will be endowed with the power of speech by Allah and it will request Allah to forgive the sins of its reciters who acted upon its teachings. Allah will accept the request of the Qur'an, as signified in other Ahadith.

Do we have good morals? 


By: Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi 
IslamiCity* - 

   

Having good morals is a prime responsibility

Character formation is the most important aspect of Islamic personality. That is why we can see that the goal of Islam - of the concepts, worships and teachings relating to values, attitudes, morals and behavior is to create an Islamic personality. The Prophet  has stated the foremost purpose of being sent down in this world and the method of his mission in the following words.

"I have been sent for the purpose of perfecting good morals."Inculcating good manners among the people and purifying them as per the noble teachings of Islam was the ultimate responsibility given to the Prophet  and after him the believers are to set an ideal example of Islamic Character before the public.

The Qur'an has made it very clear that following the footsteps of the Prophet in the high esteemed character and morals is a vital aspect of being an example Muslim. God says: "And by the mercy of God, you dealt with them gently and had you been severe and harsh hearted, they would have broken away from about you. So pass over (their faults) ask (God's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in God, certainly God loves those who put their trust (in God)" (Al-Qur'an 3:159)

So a Muslim must possess noble character which attracts people to him. When God sent Prophet Moses and Haroon to Pharaoh He said to them: "You tell him soft words." He may accept the guidance and fear God. It is natural that people like those who speak gently and decently and hate those who are harsh and hard in behavior.

The great message which has left an indelible impression on the history was the unique personality of Prophet Mohammad . God has praised him. "And verily, you O Mohammad are on an exalted character" (Al-Qur'an 68:4) The Prophet practically proved how to fulfill this noble goal to his companions. The purpose of which was nothing else but to strengthen the moral character of people so that the world of beauty and perfection may be illuminated before their eyes and they may try to achieve it consciously and with knowledge. The Qur'an says: "verily as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, certainly we shall not suffer to be lost the reward of any one who do his righteous deeds in the most perfect manner"(Al-Qur'an 18:30).

 

Treat others with generosity

Islamic character is divine character. It is to treat others with the same generosity and charity as Almighty God shows to man. Islam has set the norms in this pattern by saying "If you are merciful, forgiving and magnanimous, God is the forgiving, the merciful. That is to say that we are supposed to adopt a posture similar to God's in our dealings with others. God forgives people their mistakes and does not deprive them of His mercies because of their errors. Thus magnanimity becomes the cardinal principle of Islamic Character.

 

Helpfulness and benevolence towards others

The highest standard of Islamic character entails helpfulness and benevolence towards others. The very existence of a believer is beneficial to others since Islam teaches the lowest branch of belief is removing the disturbance from the way. So the believer passing through a way is useful to others. His words are useful to every one. Because Islam has taught "whoever believe in God and the life here after, let him tell good things to keep quiet."

 

Patience

Patience is another ingredient which makes the believers character commendable and appreciable. It has been taught that patience is one half of faith. Marvelous examples of patience on various occasions can be drawn from the life of the Prophet .

 

Sincerity, honesty, humility, justice, patience, straightÆforwardness, keeping promise ...

Islamic ethics and moral as stated in the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah embrace the consideration of all those moral excellencies known to the world, such as sincerity, honesty, humility, justice, patience, straightÆforwardness, keeping promise, charity, meekness, politeness, forgiveness, goodness, courage, veracity, sympathy, tolerance, decency, coÆoperation and other ethical instruments and rules of conduct recommended and upheld by Islam. A luminous feature of Islamic system of life is that it teaches comprehensive manners to all mankind with mercy, sympathy and consideration.

 

Speak the truth

The first among the deeds which tops the list of good manners is to speak the truth and be steadfast in it regardless of its consequences. The Prophet teaches: "The best of crusades is to speak the truth before a tyrant ruler. 'Speak the truth no matter how bitter it may be.' Keep away from ill thinking because ill thinking is the greatest falsehood."

 

Avoid Jealousy, backbiting, falsehood ...

By prohibiting jealous, backbiting, falsehood, wickedness and all other harmful things Islam arrange the ground steady for emulating divine principles of Islamic character which provide a peaceful living in this world and the hereafter. The major criterion in Islamic living is the eternal words of The Prophet  that "Actions rest on motives."

 

What are Good Manners?

Good Manners mean the commission of those virtuous deeds by which human perfection is achieved which entitles a human being, in its true senses to be referred to as the best of creation. The effect of adopting these manners, propounded by Islam is that humankind receives tranquility, peace, harmony, happiness, love, affection, justice, equality and whatever a human being desire for a healthy and peaceful living.

 

Responsibility towards God and responsibility towards fellow beings

All these teachings are formed considering the responsibility entrusted upon human beings. It is clearly mentioned that humankind has a dual responsibility to perform. One is in relation to himself and his obligations to the Creator, the other one is in relation to his external world and commitments to the creatures and fellow beings.

The former has to express in a process of self-development, physical, intellectual and spiritual. In other words, man's responsibility is to invite to God, so to say, exercise His right to dwell in the individual and urge him to use properly the balance set in his nature. The idea is in conformity with the Qur'anic exhortation. "O you who believed if you help (the cause of) God, He will help you and set your feet firm" (Al-Qur'an 47:7).

 

Obligations to one's self and obligations to society

The other responsibility lies in developing social consciousness and in caring for the welfare of others. The two terms may as well be styled as "Obligations to one's self" and "obligations to society." The two types of responsibilities are not to be regarded as exclusive. They are merely two faces of one and the same attitude towards life, of the same activity proceeding from it and signify the character of the mind one has to develop. It is this mind which matters in determining responsibility for every human action.

 

Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi (September 25, 1903 - September 22, 1979), was a Pakistani journalist, theologian, Muslim revivalist leader and political philosopher, and a major 20th century Islamic thinker.

ASH-SHAFEE - The Affectionate; The Healer

And when I am ill, it is He Who heals me . ( Surat ash-Shu'ara', 26:80)

Allah uses illness to force people to realize just how feeble they are and how much help they really need. Thus, the hundreds of diseases in our world are created for both bodily and spiritual purposes. For example, they are signs of a purposeful and superior creation and of His power, for how else can one explain the existence of microscopic viruses?

Only Allah can remove an illness, for He is the One Who created it. As a manifestation of ash-Shafee , Allah removes a disease whenever He wills. If He does not will this, no doctor, advanced technology, or innovative medication can help or cure the patient, for all medicine is only means of recovery. Each illness is sent so that we may ponder upon it, eventually see our Lord's infinite power next to our own feebleness, and seek His help whenever we are in distress. Believers have to be aware that Allah is their only guardian and helper.

The Qur'an praises Prophet Ayyub (as) for his submission to Allah. The moral excellence, patience, and trust he displayed in the face of devastating distress has become an example for all believers. The related verse is as follows:

And Ayyub, when he called out to his Lord: "Great harm has afflicted me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful." ( Surat al-Anbiya', 21:83)

Allah answered his call and removed his distress, and Prophet Ayyub (as) earned the rewards of being patient and turning solely to Allah.


The Prophet said, "Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence, ...

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
 
The Prophet said, "Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence, and tell others the stories of Bani Israel (which have been taught to you), for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire."
