Useful Advise

This advice could help us to be more content with our Lord. For example, a poor person should say to his heart; “Whatever Allah has ordained for me is the best for me. If I was rich, maybe I would waste my life by falling into Qarun’s situation. I would fall into wastefulness and go astray, and I would not be able to account for my lifestyle…”


As a matter of fact, when they used to ask Umar Ibn Abdulaziz (Allah have mercy on him);”- What do you like?” he used to say;”- I only like my destiny.” 

For example, someone who does not have a child can find peace and 

consolation by contemplating; “Aisha RA had no children and she never complained. 

As in the story of Khidr AS reported in Surah Kahf, maybe it would not be good for me if I had a son. My patience with submission to deprivation is of course a greater source of reward for me.”


The increasing psychological disturbances of our era mostly arise from being discontent with one’s place in life and resulting, conflicts and complaints out of this rejection in his/her inner world. 

We should be content with our Lord so that He will be content with us.


Contentment is so valuable for servitude that Allah gives the good news to 

رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيّةً ” such people that they will enter Paradise as

” which means “they are pleased with Allah and Allah pleased with them.” (Al Fajr, 28)


 Particular attention should be paid on an issue of “contentment with the situation”. Having contentment with God’s decree does not mean an excuse for one’s, sluggishness, laziness and neglecting what needs to be done. This is only valid for things that you cannot change. The things you can change positively you should do.

Man must fulfill his duties. He should show the necessary effort for this world and the next world. He should try to get his sustenance without begging 

from anyone. If he is sick, he should seek treatment. He should not be a burden on anyone, on the contrary, he should be beneficial to everyone. 


Real contentment and submission is that the servant doesn’t lose his good thoughts, love and pleasure with his Lord with a heart always devoted to Allah Almighty, no matter what the outcome may be.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners
