5 Tips to Heal Depression, Anxiety and Sadness By Dunia Shuaib
A few months ago I watched one of the Dunia Shuaib’s speech on Youtube. She is on a mission to empower Muslims by integrating the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as principles of psychology.
Every morning we wake up and we check our phones. We check to see how many likes our pics got, our friends pics got and even frenemies got and then wee see what amazing adventures our friends have been up to and everyone’s life seems so perfect.
Oftentimes we compare our own lives with lives of others that we see on social media and then we’re saddened. We start to think about how we can mask our sadness and portray a happy life and social media has made us a little obsessed with this notion of having a perfect life. And when we don’t feel like our lives are perfect we become unhappy. And there are so many reasons why we are sad.
One of which is the fact that we’re forgetting that this life was never meant to be perfect. Every single one of us on earth is tested in one way or another.
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient
(QS Al Baqarah(2):155)
