Are We Still Sad?

My brother, many people feel sad if there are anythings that are not suitable with their heart. We know that it is natural. I mean sadness, happiness, etc are things that must happen in our life.

But in Islamic teaching, we are forbidden by Allah to be sad. Allah said in al-Quran, “Laa Tahzan”. “Don’t be sad”. So, if we are often sad in our life, we don’t obey to Allah command. He forbid us in order we are not sad, but we are still often sad. It is signs that our faith is not srong. Our faith is still weak.

A good moslem will be always happy in his life. If he get something good he will thankfull to Allah. But if he get something bad, he will be patient. Both of them are good and create happiness.

Okey, it is the last statement for me in this writing as conclusion:

“We are commanded by Allah to do maximally and effort as possible as we can. But we are also forbidden to be sad. If we do but we are sad, so we still don’t obey to Allah”.

Okey, thank you. May this writing can give advantage for us. :)
