It's Okay to be Sad - Amazed by the Quran w/ Nouman Ali Khan

When his sons reproach Jacob for crying incessantly over the loss of their brother Prophet Yusuf, his reaction is both profound and inspiring.He says that he is only complaining about his grief to Allah. His faith that no human being will understand and truly sympathize with his pain the way Allah would is a cornerstone of putting one’s trust in Allah. Jacob’s situation also teaches us that it’s okay to cry and to be sad and that we should neither deny ourselves or others the relief of expressing our emotions to Allah. After all we are human beings not robots.

I have no one to talk to and Im 14, but what I've learnt is that Allah will never judge you for your problems. And he can fit in your shoes 100% so whenever I feel extremely depressed I automatically talk with Allah. I'm proud to be a Muslim. Edit: I am now 18 years old, turned 18 on June 7th. It's been 4 years since I made this post, I completely forgot about it, and even lost my spirituality from Allah. But somehow, I was notified about this. And I felt as if it was a sign to restart my connection with him. To find peace and seek wisdom from Allah. Thank you all for sticking with me.

Dear Shao: it's two years since your email, expecting you 16 now. Your words are so admired the second part, but the first part gives me a bit worried that you said (I don't speak no one and I am so depressed)....!!. Human relationship and communications is vital for our daily life, please try to mix up at least your circle ones (your parents, Cousins, Aunt's, and your own siblings) and listen quran and ruqiya Shar'ia most of your time. May Allah solve your problem.

After 8 years not practicing my faith, last year I received the biggest "slap" in my life. So I walked myself back to the mosque, praying back and even signed up for Quran class, learned everything properly from the beginning. I left those toxic friends, anything bad and just focus what's good for me. Alhamdulillah, I feel better today. I'm happier too. Alhamdulillah, just alhamdulillah.

[@AdventureofKB]

You left them for the sake of Allah and Allah wil replace it something with better:)

Crying to Allah is the way of strengthening our hearts with patience. We cry to Him because we know He knows Best. and He has chosen the best for us. We cry to Him to ask thhat he continues to provide the best & increase our iman & patience with His choices. Crying to another human being almost always bring disappointment. But crying to Allah always brings peace and calmness. Subhanallah this video notification came as I just finished crying to my Rabb. And I feel peace in my heart now Alhamdulillah... Tomorrow is another day of trials and tribulations. But Allah is always near...

Nope! I am sorry but you got it wrong. Watch the video named "A weakness that Allah loves " from channel "The Daily reminder" . ❤😊

[@hammadhussain3082]

I disagre with the "ONLY" part. Allah created partners for us, so that we could be comforted by them, by all means. Though, it's true that He understands us the way nobody ever could. The Quran 30:21 (Surah ar-Rum) "And of His Signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed, in that are Signs for those who reflect."

[@servantbeneficent7672]

Since I came back to Islam, a long time ago, I always talk to Allah about everything. Not only about the sadness and trials, but also about some general things or what happened today, etc. When I came back to Islam, my first understanding was that as Allah is closer to us than anything, as He created us and ordered Qalam to write about us, about me, my life, introduced me to our father Adam so long ago, He sees me and hears me all the time, knows exactly what's in my heart I figured out He's my best friend and I have nothing to hide from Him - it's impossible. And, life is way easier that way when you're truly honest and open to Allah. Sometimes I also discuss some of my sinful behavior, again because He sees me and knows me, and I kinda ask Him how to overcome that behavior. My greatest desire is, therefore, to one day meet Allah, see His face, hear His voice and have a full dialogue.
