I want to comment on sis Bell's post.The story of Yousef AS is indeed the best lesson for people who are facing difficulties and they are really bothered even they want to end their lives.
Surah Yousef is actually all about Sabr.The basic idea of this surah,to me,lies in this one line.
(12:56) Thus did We establish Joseph in the land so that he could settle wherever he pleased.
We bestow favour, out of Our Mercy, on whomsoever We please, and We do not cause the reward of those who do good to go to waste.
And that was the thing Yousef AS and His Noble father Yaqoob AS hold tightly and spend 40 years of hardships without a word of complain.
Yaqoob AS,knew who is actually the responsible of the loss of his beloved son but it was a promise between him and Allah SWT that he will not talk about his hardships and griefs with anyone other than Allah SWT.In those 40 years of endless pain,he did'nt even said a word of complain and what ever he did was Sabr without complain and put his trust on Allah SWT.
(12:18) And they brought Joseph's shirt, stained with false blood. Seeing this their father exclaimed: "Nay (this is not true); rather your evil souls have made it easy for you to commit a heinous act. So I will bear this patiently, and in good grace. It is Allah's help alone that I seek against your fabrication.
And on the other side,Yousef AS,who was like a prince,enslaved and sold out on a very small amount of money.But he pass through all the hardships and put his trust on Almighty that one day,He SWT will reward him with good.
When ever i feel sad,i read this Surah and i always feel that my problems and my life is a thousand time more comfortable than the Noble Prophet so its really un fair if i complain on small issues.I put my trust on my Lord and i know He SWT will not waste me.
Have patience my brother,seek help with sabr and Salat and put your trust strong on Allah SWT.He SWT will not end you in waste Inshallah and tommorrow will be a better day for you.
May Allah SWT ease your affairs.Amen.
