"Contemplate these Prophetic sayings:

"If Allaah loves a people, He tests them. Whoever is pleased, for him there is pleasure, and whoever is angry, upon him there is wrath." [Hadeeth]

"The most harshly tested people are the Prophets, followed in succession by those who are best after them. A man is tested according to his religion. If his religion is strong with him, his test will be more intense. If his religion is weak with him, he will be tested according to the level of his religion. (Allaah's) slave will continually be tested until he is left to walk on the earth without a mistake (to have to account for)." [Hadeeth]

"Wonderful is the situation of the believer. All of his affairs are good (for him)! And this is only for the believer. If good befalls him, he is thankful, and that is good for him. If harm afflicts him, he is patient, and that is good for him." [Hadeeth]

"And know that if the entire Nation were to gather upon benefiting you with something, they would only benefit you with something that Allaah has (already) written for you. And if they were to gather upon harming you with something, they would only harm you with something that Allaah has (already) written for you." [Hadeeth]

"The righteous ones are tested: first, the best of them, then the next, and so on." [Hadeeth]

"The believer is like a tiny branch; the wind blows it to the right and to the left." [Hadeeth]"
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"...most apprehensions and fears of impending difficulty fail to take shape in reality. Conjectures of the mind are far greater in number and in scope than the things that actually happen in life."

"An Arab poet said: "I said to my heart when it was attacked by a fit of anxiety: Be happy, because most fears are false."

"This implies that if you hear of an impending calamity, or hear of oncoming disaster, don't be overly alarmed, especially since the majority of predictions about impending harm are false."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"The Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him) said:

"And know that victory comes with patience, and with hardship there is a way out, and with difficulty comes ease."

"In another Hadith, the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him) related that Allah said:

"I am with my slave's thoughts about Me, so let him think of Me as he chooses.""

"One of the best means of controlling such thoughts is to work at something that is at once interesting and useful."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Do not be sad, for sickness is a transient state of being; the sin can be forgiven; the debt will be repaid; the captive will be released; the beloved one who is abroad will return; the sinner will repent; and the poor will be increased in their wealth."

[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Do not grieve over the person who forgets or denies the favors you once gave to him, for your desire should be solely for the reward of Allah. Perform righteous deeds purely and sincerely for the pleasure of Allah, and do not expect either congratulation or gratitude from any person. Do not take it to heart if you confer a favor upon someone and he then turns out to be ungrateful, showing no sign of appreciation for what you have done. Seek your reward from Allah."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Do not be sad, for sadness will weaken your determination and the quality of your worship. One of the offshoots of depression is that it often causes one to be pessimistic, to find blame in everyone, including — and we seek refuge in Allah — Allah Himself."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Don't Be Sad. Those who are ignorant have uttered curses at Allaah, the Exalted, the Creator of all that exists, so what treatment should we, who are full of faults, expect from people?"

"Life, health, the faculties of hearing and seeing, two hands and two legs, water, air, food - these are some of the more visible blessings in this world, while the greatest of all blessings is that of Islam and correct guidance. What would you say to someone who offered you large sums of money in return for your eyes, your ears,your legs, your hands, or your heart? How great is your wealth in reality? By not being thankful, you do not render justice to Allah's countless favors."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Do not respond to an injurious statement that is made about you. Forbearance buries faults, tolerance is superior, silence conquers the enemy, and forgiveness is honor for which you shall be rewarded. If defamatory remarks are printed about you, know that half of those that read such things quickly forget them while the other half are uninterested in the first place. So do not create further noise and fuss by refuting what has been said."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Life is bread, water, and shade; so do not be perturbed by a lack of any other material thing. "And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you are promised." (Quran 51: 22)"
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"One poet said: "Water, bread, and shade, These form a most worthy bliss, I have denied the favors of my Lord, If I said that I had too little."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Do not be sad, for Allaah defends you and the angels ask forgiveness for you; the believers share with you their supplications in every prayer; the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) will intercede for the believers; the Qur'an is replete with good promises; and above all is the Mercy of He Who is the Most Merciful."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Devote yourself to the gathering of virtues, and work,
And turn your back on someone who cools his jealousy by giving you censure,
Know that your life span is the season of good deeds,
In it, they may be accepted, and after is death, when all jealousy ceases."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "We have found that the best life is that which is accompanied by patience.""
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"Do not be sad, because it causes the heart to contract, the face to frown, the spirit to weaken, and hope to vanish."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"When you were afflicted, others extended brotherly compassion to you, and you became the fortunate recipient of the supplications of the righteous. At such times, you willfully and humbly surrendered yourself to Allah's will and resigned yourself to His decree."
[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"If you do not associate partners with Allah, if you believe in the true religion, and if you love Allah and His Messenger (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him), do not feel sad.

[REF: Laa Tahzaan, Don't Be Sad]

"There is not a single worry or concern which its significance is not diminished when it is compared to the concerns of the Hereafter."
