Do not kill yourself with grief

1) Yes!! do not kill yourself with grief, for it will not lighten your troubles.

2) Dr Al Arifi told a story of his friend Dr Abdullah. Dr Abdullah's eldest son went to a wedding party with the entire family in a nearby city, whilst he remained behind in Madinah due to his commitments at the university. On the way back they were involved in a terrible road accident in which the died, all eleven of them! When he heard the terrible news, he prayed over them and buried them with his own hands, all eleven of them.

3) Glory be to the One who gave him patience and made him strong. Guests would come to his house and bring coffee along with them, as he didn't have anyone to help him prepare anything for them. What is amazing is that if you were to see the man receiving condolences, you would think that he was the one giving condolences and that the one enduring the tragedy was someone else.

3) He would repeatedly say,"To Allah we belong and to Him we return. It belongs to Allah, whatever He takes or gives. Everything has an appointed time with Allah". This is the peak of intelligence, for if he did not behave in this manner, he would have died of grief.

4) That's right!! Do not kill yourself with grief and do not complain frequently. What is the benefit of complaining? It only increases suffering. You spend your precious time moaning and grieving.

5) You remain with your hands tied complaining. If you do not carry the burdens yourself, who will?

6) Live your life with what you have available, and you will always be happy! :-)
