This was very relevant and an extreeemely helpful post :D<br /><br />I have a similar problem too that little things make me troubled more than they should. It helps me to remind myself that the way I am looking at this problem right now may make me cry and complain but when we zoom out and look at the bigger picture of our life we realize that everything is for a reason and this is a part of it.<br />I have this habit of writing down my thoughts in my diary. When I sometimes read my old diary entries in which I was hurt or depressed and I ponder on things I realize that those incidences taught me a great deal and I learnt so much that without those seemingly unpleasant or not-so-great experiences or circumstances I would never have learnt. And that really makes the trust in Allah grow stronger! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-88929690958642592032012-09-03T08:58:44.879-07:002012-09-03T08:58:44.879-07:00Salam! Thank you sooo much for this! Jazakillah o ...Salam! Thank you sooo much for this! Jazakillah o Khair! =D<br /><br />I've been working on improving myself since I sent you the question; thank you for this extra booster!<br /><br />Something that I found VERY helpful was your idea in one of the articles here to make an 'Eemaan Journal'. So you could say that I've already been following the advice No. 4 =p<br /><br />And I can't believe you've given me that link on the names of Allah SWT! I've been thinking of asking you for that in mail--I saw the introductory lecture some time ago, but I couldn't find it again when I tried. =D Thank you, thank you! =)<br /><br />And thanks for your input Hijabi in the Rain and sippingchai =)<br /><br />P.S. I'd read this somewhere (maybe in an IGIC post?)and copied it, maybe someone else would also find it useful: "When you actually realise and understand when we say "HasbunAllahu wa ni'mal wakeel" (Allah is sufficent for us and He is the best disposers of all affairs), life suddenly becomes a lot more pleasant."S.A.https://www.facebook.com/sara.afzalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-28982395384992981272012-09-03T07:42:48.914-07:002012-09-03T07:42:48.914-07:00Beautiful response MA!

It is such an amazing thing, MA! <br /><br />While I was in Madinah, I got to hear a female speaker that said something very powerful and seems to have stuck with me. She told us about a woman that was in Masjid An Nabawi making du'a and crying hysterically. The people asked her what was wrong and she would not answer. They kept insisting so she turned and said my tears are for Allah (swt) and it is only His business. When I am in pain, or I am happy, or I am desperate - it is to him I turn and I cry...so please leave me alone and let me be.

I wo...Wonderful response as always masha'Allah. I would like to add I have a problem with the whole crying thing as well, the smallest things can make me teary eyed. One thing that has helped is imagining that you're representing islam ( which every muslim is) although you may feel happy with Allah as your Lord and islam as your religion if you are seen as a person crying all the time you give off the complete opposite impression . We shouldn't suppress our feelings but we should know when it is appropriate to show them And actually i have found not getting worked up and crying about something just as empowering as letting it all out once in a while. I hope this helped <br />Wasalamin the falling leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774102890025370153noreply@blogger.com
