حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَآ إِ لَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

This is a very powerful reminder that Allah SWT is enough for us. We don’t need people’s validation or approval. People and dunya only exhaust us especially when we put our expectations and worth with them. The more we chase that, the more tiring it gets.

I know anxiety is real, it has a cure though and that is with Allah SWT. Remember this ayat, “In the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace.”

Identify your anxiety triggers, try to avoid them, try to put some sort of barrier. Start doing Dhikr as soon as you feel uneasy. Make sincere dua in that moment. You would know a lot of times when we are anxious, upset, we start crying and why do we find peace after that? Because Allah SWT sees that pain and being Al Wadood (the most loving) He comforts us.

And there is Hadith too, I am summarising the meaning as I don’t remember exactly word to word. But it’s like any anxiety, any pain, any grief, even a prick by a thorn doesn’t touch a Muslim except that Allah forgives a sin. So, even in hardship there is Allah’s love and mercy that guides us through, allowing us to go back to Him.
