One of the mistakes people generally fall in istheir descending into
desperation whenever they face even the slightest difficulty. Most
people, under such circumstances, instead ofthinking "There is
definitely a way out thatwould correct this situation", they are prone
to believe that all the solution ways are exhausted by acting with
logics such as:"that's it", "there is nothing more to be done," "this
is as far as itgoes", "we came to a deadlock", "this matter is in a
deadlock now".
Yet, no matter how difficult the circumstances are; no matter how
limited the means he has are; and no matter if he has doneeverything
that could have been done; he should believe that therecan always be a
new way out, and never lose hope.
Allah has revealed in the Qur'an that a person who believes in Allah
would never lose hope in any matter as follows:
"My sons! Seek news of Yusuf and his brother. Do not despair of solace
from Allah. No one despairs of solace from Allah except for people who
are unbelievers. '" (Surah Yusuf: 87)
They said, 'We bring you good news of the truth, so do not be among
those who despair .' (Surat Al-Hijr: 55)
Consequently, no matter what the situation a Muslim faces is, he
should never give way to hopelessness, despair or negative thoughts
even indirectly. This is a command of Allah on Muslims.
Lower self, when facing such a situation, -almost like a reflex- would
lead one to instantly think about the most negative possibilities that
might happen. Almost everyone, ever since their childhood –until they
learn the morality of the Qur'an- approach every incident with such a
point of view. Since they do not think about the falsity and the harm
of this, they do not feel the need to resist and change this reflex.
This is the reason why the first words that come out of their mouths
are words like "alas!" and"unfortunately".
And the pain that desperation, thinking with negative possibilities
and believing that there is no way out, would makepeople feel is
really severe. The state of mindof people, who feel this way, is the
reward Allah had created for them in this world as a result of their
living by a moralityAllah does not approve.
Yet, living by the morality which is opposite to this one is really
easy. A person's knowing Allah Who has infinite wisdom, Who has
infinite justice, Who has infinite compassion and infinite grace, Who
is forgiving and Who possesses infinite creation power is really a
great blessing for him. Allah is mighty of creating whatever He wills,
whenever He wants. And in the Qur'an Allah says: "If My servantsask
you about Me, I am near. I answer the call ofthe caller when he calls
on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and believe in Me so
thathopefully they will be rightly guided" (Surat al-Baqara: 186) In
the Qur'an Allah had informed us that people can ask whatever they
want from Allah. Since aperson could ask for anything from Allah
Whohas the power to create whatever He wants, whenever He wills, it is
totally unreal for him to be living among the possibilities such as:
having exhausted all the ways out or having no way out. That is
because–by the will and help of Allah- a person's way is always open
in every matter. His knowing Allah's might and compassion would
always enable him to be hopeful about every matter.
This morality is the one Allah commanded in the Qur'an. And carrying
out this command of Allah turns into a great blessing for people. It
is much more beautiful, reassuring and comfortable for people to live
by a hopeful morality, instead of pessimism. While, in the contrary,
a person would be continuously living restless, in a state of fear
with his mind occupied in negative suggestions; someone abiding by the
morality Allah demands, would live in peace, tranquility and joy of
expecting the help, mercy and the closeness of Allah even under most
difficult conditions.
And another point that should be thought abouthere is; while living
among blessings, plenty and safety, a person trusts in Allah and lives
in the awareness of the truth that all those come about because of the
infinite might of Allah; but when there is something missing about
those, he forgets how limitless and endless the might of Allah is.
Allah has informed us about the morality that people in this situation
would show in the Qur'an, as follows:
When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it, but when
something bad happens to them because of whatthey themselves have
done, they immediately lose all hope. (Surat Ar-Rum : 36)
Man never tires of praying for the good and if evil touches him, he
despairs and loses hope. (Surat Fussilat : 49)
Such a person cannot appreciate the fact that Allah Who had given
himblessings before, also have the Power to give –again and again
whenever He wants as much as He wills. He fails to think that all the
beauties he has in his life exist not because he himself had found a
wayto attain them but because Allah had willedthem to be so and
granted him that means through His Grace. Everything that he possesses
has been created from nothing. When difficulty and troubles arise the
situation is no different than that: Allah, Who created everything
from nothing, even if there is a situation in which there seems to be
a no way out, would again create the way from nothing and would show
him the way out.
Allah says in the Quran: "… But your Lord is a sufficient guide and
helper." ( Surat Al-Furqan: 31). The guidance of Allah for a man is –
by the leave of Allah- a great blessing with which he can solve every
matter. And moreover man does not have the power to find away out on
his own anyway. Humans are weak creatures who have no power for
anything unless Allah wills the contrary. Man is in need of Allah
showing him the ways out, the solutions and rights. Consequently what
one should do is totrust in Allah very much, by being very sincere
towards Allah; to ask full of hope for His help and to show all the
effort that he is capable of showing by using his mind and conscience
in the best possible manner. However the secret here is in
wantingeverything from Allah in hope and believing that they can
definitely come true. It is Allah Who creates the result. And Allah is
the One Who always creates the best for Muslims both in this world and
in the Hereafter.
Their sides eschew their beds as they call on their Lord in fear and
ardent hope . And they give of what We have provided for them. (Surat
Al-Sajda:16)
And when the two hosts came into sight of one another Musa's
companions said, 'We will surely be overtaken!'
He said, 'Never! My Lord is with me and He will guide me. '
So We revealed to Musa, 'Strike the sea with your staff.' And it split
in two, each part like a towering cliff.
And We brought the others right up to it.
We rescued Musa and all those who were with him. (Surat Ash-Shu'ara': 62-65)
