While going through the daily grind, living out our lives day in and day out, there is absolutely no doubt that we do things that we regret. It can be anything from forgetting to lower our gaze, to backbiting about another person, to talking back to our parents - the opportunities to sin are endless.
With all of these evil instances guaranteed to happen to us at one point or another, is their any point to go on? It seems as if we’re just set up to fail. If you’ve ever felt distressed or depressed about the transgressions of your soul, Allah has got answers for you that you will not want to miss.

He Worried About Us So Much

Whenever I am tempted to sin, or whenever I’m not praying with the right mindset - basically whenever I’m faulting, I try to think of this image.
Picture the Prophet [saw]. Picture Muhammad. Picture him being mocked, having garbage thrown at him, and beaten. Picture him worried about his people, worried about them displeasing Allah - worried about a punishment of Hell-fire that they may recieve.
Picture him walking, a worried look on his face, into the city of Taa`if. Picture children picking up rocks, while adults are laughing and yelling nasty things to him. Picture everyone in the city tossing rocks and other objects at him. Picture the Prophet getting hit all over - his face, his chest, his back. Picture blood rolling down his body, filling up his leather shoes.
Fast forward.
Picture Islam flourishing. Muslims are doing amazing, the Islamic state is booming. It’s 2 in the morning, pitch black outside.
Picture a man, Muhammad, with his forehead on the ground, and a small puddle forming under his face.
Picture a man crying in prostration, silent tears rolling on his face.
Picture Muhammad.
Listen. Listen to him whisper his plea to Allah [swt]. Listen carefully. Between sobs, he is saying “My Ummah, My Ummah.”
He was worried about us. He cried about us. It’s about time we honor his tears, his fears, and his worries. Let’s do what Allah wants, let’s do what Muhammad [saw] wanted us to do, and follow his ways as he instructed us through his sunnah.
Let’s do it.
