i was sad and gloomy and down, and while i was scrolling down my tumblr dashboard. this advice appeared on my dashboard. thank you Allah :')

If you want to talk to Allah, perform Salah.

If you want Allah to talk to you, read Qur’an.

every now and then everyone feels a little sad or depressed inside. what is your advice on beating this horrible feeling? -anonymous

poetic islam answer:

I’m assuming you’re Muslim, but even if you’re not this is relevant: Your heart and mind need to find peace, and honestly the best advice I can give you is to do Dhikr, to Pray, to read the Qu’ran, to remember your Lord and the beauty of His religion. Nothing else can fill the void. Maybe it will give you a temporary fix but it won’t last. May Allah make things easier upon you.

“Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. For without doubt, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. -quran (13:28) yusuf ali translation
