FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MEMORIZE THE DUA HE MENTIONED. Allahuma Ahyini ma kanatil hayatu khayran li wa tawafani itha kanatil wafatu khayran li (Oh Allah give me life as long as it is good for me, and take my life when death is better for me )

[@zeenat.hashmi]

I would want to remind myself and to others that in order "to seek help" never reach out to any non-mehram friends, I fell in that trap which led me to further errors and transgression. Alhamdulillah! it took real efforts to be back on the right track. It was HARD. Always reach out to the RIGHT PEOPLE and NEVER DISOBEY ALLAH.

Me being an orphan in very young age & staring to develop depression right after that wants to relate to. I’ve been fighting for 19 years now & it’s so exhausting to continue. It’s getting only worse & no longer better. Isolating myself trying to take my own life where my friends thankfully stopped me from doing it. Feeling that I’m the only reason for any problem, being sorry for my mom & my body. Getting a disease wich made my life miserable. I try so hard to think that Allah loves me so much that’s why I’m going trough all this but the other half of my brain says nobody loves u. I’m sorry that I’m no longer that happy child & I miss it so much. I blame myself for everything that has ever happened to us. Im scared of myself. I want to live a better life being healthy & in shaa Allah being a mom one day. In the other hand i don’t want any of it either & I’m scared to take such a big responsibility cuz I’m emotionally unstable. Im so sorry for everything & for not being strong enough to endure it. It’s a living hell that I want to get out but I want to live to. I want to experience happiness too. Allah know the best . Make dua for my physical health & my depression to be cured. May Allah forgive my sins & helps me & everyone trough hardships and shows us the right path.

You tackle the topic of suicidality in such a careful and compassionate manner, while still maintaining the Islamic perspective. May Allah bless you and your family and the whole Yaqeen Institute team, thank you for keep creating insightful contents amidst the pandemic 🙏

[@lania__karim]

I related perfectly well on this one. May Allah have mercy, relieve and grant Shifa to everyone struggling with health and going through any other type of distress, oppression etc ♥️

[@abigailmercy3524]

Even when I'm ungrateful for my life that Allah swt has given, Allah swt counts it as ibadah for us to even talk to someone about it. How merciful is our Lord.

Dua he mentioned Prophet Mohammad (saw): Allaahumma ‘innee as’aluka fi’lal-khayraat wa tarkal-munkaraat wa hubbal-masaakeen wa an taghfara lee wa tarhamanee wa ithaa aradta fitnata qawmin fatawaffanee ghayra maftoon, wa as’aluka hubbaka wa hubba man yuhibbuka wa hubba ‘amalin yuqarribunee ilaa hubbik

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي.

[@iratri7239]

SUBHANALLAH, look how I came up to your video, may Allah reward you and help all the people who feel so down and so depressed that they wish for death.....I know this feeling so well

[@raziasultana9591]

Your voice now became an indespensible part of my life . Actually I learning the seera h of my beloved prophet from you ,the stories of sahaba from you .May Allah subhanawatala preserve your voice brother ,its being always echoed in my mind . I am astonished to think what would be expression of sahaba to listen the voice of Rasullulahi.

[@zainabfarhan5823]
