The Causes of Worries and Their Treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the matter, he says: What are the causes of the worries and sorrows, and their abundance, in our present time, and what is their treatment?
Answer:
Allah knows best about their causes. One asks the psychologists about that, but the cause, and it appears, and Allah knows best, is preoccupation with this world and laziness regarding the deeds of the Hereafter, as well as heedlessness of the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is what causes a person to be afflicted with the worries, sorrows, and griefs that befall him. However, if he persists in the remembrance of Allah and performs the five daily prayers at their prescribed times, then Allah will remove these worries from him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a matter distressed him, would turn to prayer. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:45]. Yes.
