Overview

Suhayb narrated that Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said: “How amazing, the
affairs of the believer! Indeed, the believer’s affairs are all good, and that is not the case for anyone but a believer. When something delightful happens to him, he expresses gratitude for it, and that’s good for him. When something difficult happens to him, he expresses patience through it, and that’s good for him.”

– [Sahih Muslim, Kitab Az-Zuhd Wa Ar-Raqa-iq]

The sweetness of faith can only be tasted and experienced when the mind and the heart finds serenity from knowing the realities of Allah, and knowing the realities of our soul. A healthy mind is the home where our souls can seek respite amidst all of the complications of life, and from there on, the soul can truly set itself forth towards the journey of getting closer to God. Seeking God is never a mundane experience, but rather, the soul luxuriates in intense joy whenever it takes a step closer to God.

The way we think and what we feel, determines who we are as a person, and it showcases to us how we determine our priorities. The health of our hearts and minds are imperative for us, so that we can function well, as true servants of God and humanity. As we move forward in life, seeking holistic self-betterment, we should ensure that our mental health is taken good care of, as it sets our hearts and minds on a clear path that brings peace and serenity through knowledge, purpose and the reassuring comforts of Allah’s Limitless Love.
