Im sitting at my laptop, on L.I. One of the most visited sites, its why i turn to you here my brothers and sisters in islam, where i always get great advice.


My eldest bro has had depression since 21, he,s nearly mid 30,s now, it was hard ,seeing temper swings and that, thought that was hard enough.

But to have another bro suffer from pyschosis(mental prob) its been 5 years . then the drug addiction came, he is in a unit now, please make dua for him.

I always told my self if i see signs of depression in me , i will act straight away, Im starting to see it on me, its ever since started practising, trying to maintain your nafs is so hard , no smoking , no music, keeping halal, even being so nice all the time has it affects .
Its like my body needs a release, my brain pounding and nothing halal out there to keep it calm.
I know listening to quran should help, im praying so i feel guilty feeling depressed, can any one tell me the cause.

I work nights, not many ppl at work , only 5 of us, so it can get lonely
I go masjid, dont really know an one, but i like to just do my prayer and go home, no idle chit chat. then i come to my room and stay till next salat.

I love L.I and that, but theres so much net, or so much listening to lectures i can take, dont get me wrong i love.

too much debt for marriage, for a few years , im 27, im really really lonely, i feel so ugly, like i cant get married.

I know i should go gym and that, exercise. i dont wana leave my room any more , dont wana change my clothes. Not even to the bank or shops,

Please any advice on how to snap out of it, i cant get depression, it will break my mums heart, im the only one she can rely on

I'm sorry to hear your going through this. Can I ask you something, How long have you been feeling like this and what makes you think your 'ugly'?

Depression is fought physically and mentally. Exercising helps alot! It gets you pumping and instead of just listening to what seems like endless lectures. Set yourself a target otherwise you'll feel like you're storing information rather than gaining knowledge. Join a Hifdh class and start memorising the Qur'aan and limit the time you spend on the net.

May Allaah make matters easy for, Aameen.

I hope that things improve for you Inshallah. I seriously believe that life is what you make it. Happiness has to come from within. Try to take a long walk within the nature, and learn to appreciate the little things. If you tell yourself long enough anything, best believe you will become just that! Some little mental Make over might do the trick here. Change your thinking so you don't become what your thinking.:)..Positive thoughts?

Shaykh Ibn taymah rahimulah said something very profound that stuck by me, something along the lines: You can make Jannah in your own heart, or hell? May AlLah make you happy!! amin.

keep ya head up.

assalamu alaykum

SubhanAllah bro, you need to see your GP soon! There is help for depression. It is a very real illness that can be cured inshaAllah. Use remedies from the Prophet's (saw) sunnah, e.g. black seed and honey. Use bach flower remedy - a homeopathic remedy as well as duaas. Use Surah al-Fatiha as ruqyah. Recite it, blow on your hands and wipe over your whole body frequently - as many times a day as you can. Also recite Ayatul Kursi, Surah an-Nas, al-falaq and Surah Ikhlaas, esp. before bedtime.

Sometimes we have nothing to look forward to in this world. But we all have something to look forward to in the next one. Recite Surah al-Mulk daily for on the Day of Judgement, it will argue until you are entered into Jannah. Allah subhana wa ta a'laa has also made the Quran a healing. So you will benefit in many ways inshaAllah.

Above all my bro, have sabr and thank Allah in all circumstances. He will see His servant being grateful to Him and make ease for you. You get out what you put in bro. Rememberance of Allah is never lost. Put your entire trust in Him from the bottom of your heart and soul. Call on Him. Beg and plead Him. No one can do more for you than your Creator. Tell Him you know that and believe in that. He is there for you. He wants you to ask of Him. He is Mercilful, Fair and Just. He will answer you. He will help you. Nothing is beyond Him. Surrender yourself to Him totally. He is the Almighty, Who has control over all things. Please read the beautiful names and attributes of Allah subhana wa ta'ala bro. And you will never lose hope inshaAllah.



"He is Allah, the Creator, the Originator, The Fashioner, to Him belong the most beautiful names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, do declare His praises and glory. And He is the Exalted in Might, The Wise. (Quran 59:24)

"The most beautiful names belong to God: so call on Him by them;..." (7:180)

It is not possible to perfectly translate the names and attributes of Allah from their original Arabic into English. However, here are some fairly close explanations.

(Arabic transliteration: Laysa Kamithlihi Shayun Wa Huwa As-Sami' ul-Basir)


NOTE:
I found many different versions of the 99 names. The above 99 are on a poster I have. Another list includes Al-Mu'tiy - The Bestower, The Giver and does not have Al-Ahad - The One. Another list did not have Al-Razzaaq -The Sustainer, The Provider but did have Al-Maajid The Noble, The One who is Majid.
Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala)'s names are not limited to 99, which is a common misconception. There are a couple of evidences, one is the du`aa where one calls upon Allah by the names He (subhanahu wa ta`ala) has kept to Himself (obviously not taking these names since Allah has not revealed them to us); another is the fact that in the narrations of the famous ninety nine names hadith that do contain 99 names, the names are not consistent between narrations (for example, imam al-bayhaqi reports two versions of this hadith, with different 99 names in each). It is suggested by one commentator that the names were not explicitly stated by the rasul (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam).

Oh Allah i seek refuge in you from despondency and sadness, from weakness and from laziness, from miserliness and from cowardice, from perversion of faith and from the domination of others.( bukhari 7/158)
