10 Ways To Overcome Sadness 1. Live for each new day: Know that whatever you have gone through in your past i s gone and will never come back: So everyday is a new and fresh day. Yesterday is a distance memory and today is what matters. Therefore live for today and live for each new and fresh day and do not think about yesterday as it is gone and do not think t oo much about tomorrow for it may never come.  Al Hasan Al Basri said:  "The world is 3 days: As for yesterday, it has vanished along with all that was in it. As for tomorr ow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, s o work on it." 2. Each second that goes by we will never get back again:  Know that each second is a true blessing and every second that ticks by can never again be regained so why should we waste our precious time being sad when our sadness will not change anything and will not benefit us i n anyway but that which will benefit us in t his world and the next is our good deeds. Wise are the words of the one who said: "I expect to pass through this world but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I s hall not pass this way again." So Think to yourself: "Why am i wasting my precious seconds being down when i will NEVER get back these seconds again. So there is NO time to for me t o be down for my time is so little and it may end at any second".  3. Know that our life is pre-destined:  Whatever will happen will happen so there is no point being down when our sadness will not affect the outcome of our destiny but dua will so supplicate to Allah and put your FULL trust in him. Whatever the outcome whatever was decreed is best for you even if you think it is not. So think to yourself: "Why am i wasting this precious time being upset when everything is pre-destined so whatever will happen will happen so there is NO point me being down about it".

those who were misguided. You could have been of those who were not favoured by Allahbut you have been given the most special gift of ALL imaan!

Therefore appreciate your imaan and do not take that you have been given it so lightly.Thank Allah for it night and day and know that you are so lucky that you have it.

Why would you be sad when you have been favoured out of countless others?

8. Make dua to Allah:

Whenever you are down then make dua to Allah. Turn to him in the latter part of the nightwhen he will attend to you quicker. Turn to him when others are deep in their sleep. Turnto him in humility, meekness and humbleness. Turn to him knowing that he is listening.Turn to him knowing he is the closest to you. Turn to him knowing he cares and he truly

loves you.

Cry to him and beg of him to forgive you. Ask of him to fulfill your needs but at the sametime trust in him that he will do what is best for you. If he wants you to be patient then bepatient for you will get SO MUCH BETTER IN RETURN! 

Turn to him knowing he WILL answer your prayer, if not now, then tomorrow. If nottomorrow then in the hereafter and that is when we will be rewarded most for our dua'sand we would wish that NO dua was accepted so that we recieved EVERY reward for ourdua in the hereafter.

9. Make pleasing Allah the source of your pleasure in this life: 

If we make pleasing Allah the source of our pleasure in this life then HOW can we ever besad? When we live each day to have a highflying career we will never be fully satisfied nomatter where our career is because we always want to have a better career.

When we live for money then we will never be satisfied because we always want more andwill always try new ventures and ways to diversify our business etc just so that we can gainmore and more money.

When we live for other people then they will always let us down in one way or another.

But if we live to please Allah and do good deeds that will make us feel closer to him thenwhat better pleasure is there in life.

So when you are feeling sad then think: "Let me get up and do good in order toplease Allah for that is my source of true happiness in this life" 

So make EVERYDAY a day when you will want to please Allah more than yesterday.Whenever you are sad then turn to Allah and make him the source of your true happiness.Make the pleasure of pleasing him the means of you NEVER becoming sad again.
