HELP ME! My World is Falling Apart
I feel frantic like my world is caving in on me. Everything is falling apart and nothing is coming together. Help is only with Allah, My Sustainer. I remember the call of Prophet Jacob, "I only complain of my distress to Allah and I know from Allah that which ye know not." (qala inna ma ashkoo bathee wa huznee illah laah)
I call on Allah to ease my suffering as only He can ease the suffering of His devoted servants. Only I'm not devoted, I'm not worthy, I'm not of the patient or the steadfast. I'm striving to just be...
I know 'qala inna ma ashkoo bathee wa huznee illah laah'. I only complain of my distress to Allah and I know from Allah that which ye know not.
What can a believing servant do, when the pain becomes unbearable? 'Qala inna ma ashkoo bathee wa huznee illah laah'.
Call on Allah in prayer - Make a prayer of deep devotion supplicating to Allah and begging Allah for Mercy. As only He can give Mercy to his devoted servants. Make wudu the way the prophet (peace be upon him) taught. Don't be hasty in making wudu and think of it inshallah as your last wudu. The wudu that you want to perfect for Allah, the Lord and Sustainer of the Worlds. After making wudu, begin your prayer with deep devotion, recite a long surah and take your time. When prostrating make dua asking Allah to ease your pain. Recite all of the duas of the distressed. As only Allah can ease the pain of the one in distress. Pray this prayer as if this is your last and supplicate and beseech Allah much, calling on Allah with His most beautiful names, 'Al Hayyu Al Qiyuum.'
When you finish your prayer, continue calling and beseeching Allah with the duas of the distressed (click here to see them). Then read through the hadith of the prophet describing how the companions of the prophet (peace be upon him) coped with stress (click here for hadiths).

i'm not sure about that.. you heard bout mental illness? i have been suffering from depression for years now.. some days i wish i don't wake up.
As'salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah,
Of course I've heard about mental illness. This site is all about mental illness, depression, and the like. I understand about not wanting to wake up. What are you doing to cope with your depression? I got your comment asking about a muslim psychologist and unfortunately I don't have a referral list in Singapore. Have you tried your local masajid? Is there some event that triggered your depression or do you think it may be a chemical imbalance? While prayer is not the only answer it can help alleviate some of the symptoms with the help of Allah. Allah does answer the dua of the believer if they are patient and do not despair. Sometimes the solution may be in medication as there are medicines out there that do help to alleviate depression and there is nothing wrong with taking them if a doctor prescribes them and you've tried alternatives.
Assalam alaikum wa rahmatuallahi
Dear sister in Islam, "Relief"
Mashallah tabarakallah I have read your post talking about depression and relying on Allah subhanahu wa ta 'ala and found it very touching sister. I am writing an article series on depression as it is seen in Islam and would like your permission inshallah to include your words. May Allah reward you sister, make your difficulties a way of removing your sins and entering you into a higher level of the jannah, ameen.
Walaykum as'salam wa rahmatullah

Jazakallah khairun for the kind words. I'm glad that they were of benefit to you al hamdulilaah. Yes, inshallah you can use the info. in your article about depression.
A/s Sister Relief,
In the article it says 'Click Here for the Hadith' or something along the lines of that, but there is in fact no link, I really wanted to read the Ahadith so please amend this error. Thank You
Your Sister 'S'
