Due to a lack of revelation, the Prophet PBUH fell into a depression and was about to give up all hope. These kinds of emotions are common in everyday life. There are instances when we cannot get up in the morning. In addition, we lack faith and pray distractedly.We feel as if we have lost our connection to Allah. When we sense that Allah no longer loves us, we conclude that we aren’t good enough.We will consider how Surat Duha gives us peace of mind.

<ul><li>A believer’s goals are not selfish and materialistic. Instead, our goals should revolve around the aspirations of believers who aren’t self-centered and selfish.</li><li>The Muslim world thrives because of the generosity of its people.</li><li>Almighty Allah rewards those who give generously, and their wealth multiplies as a result.</li><li>The person who gets the charity is also blessed and now has some money to help him go forward in his own life.</li><li>Charity is a win/win scenario.</li></ul>

BE GENEROUS:

1. Wad duhaa— By the morning brightness“Wake up, look at the sunshine!” is the first thing you need to hear if you’re depressed. You only have to glance up to see that life is not all doom and gloom.

Tafseer of Surah Duha

10. Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar— And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].Beggars serve as another reminder to us of the various material gifts Allah has bestowed upon us, such as food, clothes, and a place to sleep. The question is, how many of us have gone to bed hungry before? How many of us are without clothing? Have no place to call home?The orphan and the beggar are two people whom we should continually remember to be grateful for the many gifts that Allah has bestowed upon us, overcome our feelings of melancholy, and rediscover our connection to Allah.

7. Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada— And He found you lost and guided [you].As Muslims, how many of us have strayed from Islam in the past, even though we were born into it? Our hidaya was given to us by Allah, and it was He who guided us back to the straight road and Him, transforming us into good Muslims in the process. Alhamdulillah!

That’s what this Surah is all about, and that’s the most important lesson it teaches.<ul><li>Optimism is a virtue we must uphold as Muslims.</li><li>Our ancestors did not intend for us to be a gloomy race.</li><li>Our lives should be filled with hope for Allah’s help and mercy.</li><li>Optimism and hope are essential ingredients in each activity we attempt.</li><li>If we are serious and the endeavor is helpful to the ummah, we must have faith that Allah will support us.</li><li>That mentality should be the driving force behind our efforts.</li></ul>

BE POSITIVE:

11. Wa amma bi ne’mati rabbika fahad dith – But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].The last aayah encourages us to keep our restored trust and connection with Allah alive by meditating on, praising, and extolling His benefits. Whether it’s through halaqas, conversations with loved ones, or even preaching! There are several ways to maintain Allah’s name in your heart, such as dhikr, reading the Quran, and listening to lectures!Inshallah, reading Surah Ad Duha and pondering its contents will revive your faith and strengthen your conviction in Allah’s grandeur and might.

5. Wa la sawfa y’uteeka rabbuka fatarda— And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.As a guarantee from Allah, we can expect a colossal recompense (Jannah) shortly. Subhanallah!Why else would this be the most comforting thing you could ever hear when you’re feeling low and fed up with the troubles of this world?

8. Wa wa jadaka ‘aa-ilan fa aghnaa— And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.In our lives, the majority of us have likely experienced a lack of financial resources several times. However, in retrospect, we understand that the rizq that took us through those challenging economic times came solely from Allah.To help those who are depressed, show them how Allah has helped them in the past.This will reinforce their faith in Allah’s promises for them in this Surah.

3. Ma wad da’aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa— Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].One of Allah’s most striking verses reassures the downtrodden that He is constantly at their side, reminding them that He does not despise them or forget them.

Is there no hope for a brighter future?As a solution to those inquiries, the verses of this aayah serve as a reminder that this world is just transient and that the hereafter awaits us in Aakhira.As a result, we get a positive outlook on the challenges we face in this life and see them as tests of our faith in Allah.
