Why are Muslims more depressed and anxious than ever?

By design:

- no qur'ān
- no prayers
- more music
- fake personas
- no life purpose
- processed food
- delayed marriages
- 8 hours in a cubicle
- lost traditional roles
- less righteous friends
- success measured in $
- weak connection to Allāh

It's a recipe for spiritual decline.

BENEFIT 238: The four categories of people who ascribe to Islam

Sheikh 'Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh said:

We can categorise people into four groups:

1⃣. مبتدع خالص
Pure innovators who do not adhere to the Sunnah whatsoever. These are eternally condemned to Hell, and there is no doubt about that.

2⃣. مبتدع مختلط
Those whose innovation is mixed with some truth. Such individuals deserve to enter Hell but will not remain there eternally.

3⃣. سني خالص
Pure adherents to the Sunnah. These will enter Paradise and do not deserve to enter Hell.

4⃣. سني مختلط
Those who follow the Sunnah but engage in sin, as mentioned in the Āyah:
{وَآخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلاً صَالِحاً وَآخَرَ سَيِّئاً}
"Some others have confessed their wrongdoing: they have mixed goodness with evil. It is right to hope that Allah will turn to them in mercy." [Quran 9:102].
These individuals deserve to enter Hell but will not remain there eternally.

Do Not Make Yourself Incapable

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn [رحمه الله] said:

❝The Messenger's [ﷺ] saying, 'Do not make yourself incapable' means: Do not become lazy and go back on an action once you have started it; rather, persist.

This is because if you left it and then afterwards started another action, and then afterwards you left [that] and then started, and then left, none of your actions would [ever] get completed.❞

[Sharḥ Riyaḍ Al-Ṣāliḥīn, (2/82) | Translated By Mikail Ibn Mahboob Ariff]

When interests change, titles change..
Joseph's brothers said when they had an interest:
﴿فأرسل معنا أخانا﴾

and when their brother was accused of stealing, they said:
﴿إن ابنك سرق﴾
This is what many people do ?!!
Their positions change depending on their interests.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Those who deal mercifully with others, Allah will deal mercifully with them, therefore, show mercy to those on Earth so that the one in the Heavens may show you mercy.”

The Hadith is very simple and straightforward, if we don’t show mercy and compassion to each other, especially during times of hardship and calamity, we risk losing the most important mercy that matters to us, and that is, the mercy of Allah upon us.

This is a serious matter. Stop cursing each other and stop hating each other, Allah ﷻ made us believers and He commanded us to maintain the tie of brotherhood with each other. So adhere to His command, and avoid the path of the Shaytaan, the path of hatred and arguments.

May Allah ﷻ not hold us to account for what the ignorant and foolish amongst us have done. Aameen

Anas ibn Malik reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?

” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Tie her and trust in Allah.”

Nice people in real life are considered weak by evil people because they behave that way out of kindness of their heart. They can smell your kind heart and find it distasteful. The walls will someday tell the story of so many people's pain.

Be disagreeable, state your own opinions and have your own standards and don't ever let them win.

It will get you much farther in life than feigning pleasantries.
