Why do I feel sad for NO reason?
Truly speaking, we all go through certain situations that make us sad. But shaytan, if he fails to make people commit sins, he would work on making them ungrateful to Allah and hopeless of his Infinite Mercy. Sadness is a great opportunity for Shaytan to do that, and this is because,
Grief weakens the heart, weakens determination, hurts a person’s will and nothing is more beloved to Shaytan than a sad believer. {Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim Tareequl Hijratain 1/418.}
It is ok to be sad, but if you remain in sadness for too long, you’ll get weaker and your interest in worshipping Allah and doing good deeds will get weaker also and you will start to imagine hopeless scenarios on how things will never get better. You will start forgetting all the good Allah has done for you in the past and all the good you’re living in now because of fixating your mind and heart and energy on the current problem or what you are currently missing.
We have the struggles of the world to face but we also have an enemy (Shaytan) plotting on our downfall, as Shaytan said,
“Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You].” (Qur’an 7: 17)
We seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the accursed Shaytan and and we exercise with speed to the command of Allah the Exalted when he says:“Therefore, remember Me (by praying, glorifying). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.”(2:152)
Seek treatment in the remembrance of Allah,
As Allah Azza wa Jalla stated,
الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah,
أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. ( Qur’an 13:28)
And remember that most definitely Allah brings ease with the hardship.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. ( Qur’an 94: 5-6)
وَاسْتَعِينُواْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَوةِ
“And seek help through patience and prayer…”
وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلاَّ عَلَى الْخَـشِعِينَ
“and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah].”
The promise of Allah is true, there will always be relief and there is always hope.
