No Job In Covid - 19  How To Handle Yourself In Depression

As far as the teachings of Islam are concerned, it is a proven fact that any aspect of religiosity that does not affect the character of any person is of little importance.

As per teaching of Prophet PBUH,  that he was sent so that he  may perfect for people the best of characters .

Due to Covid - 19 , economic downturn and unstable economy people are losing their jobs, they are losing their jobs, they are not able to pay rent, it is difficult to leave mortgages these days Matters keep coming together and that affects our character. What kind of person are facing the financial problems that he is facing? Let's face it - we're going to have some very difficult financial times. It is very common nowadays that people are asked to vacate an apartment, house or flat because they cannot pay rent, people cannot pay their medical insurance bills, people cannot buy books for their children.

All these examples are enough for us to understand that these are difficult times. So the question is the same, what kind of human being are we becoming in these confusing and difficult situations? And it is in these difficult times that a person's true inner self reveals who you are.  That is why the Qur'an tells us how people reacted when they faced difficult times.

Quran 89:15-16 - And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me." But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."  

So in the absence of   finance and resources , in which direction people will move? people may have take some wrong choices due to odd times.

May become Drug addict 

Domestic Violence 

Gambling

Unlawful money earning

Unfortunately, in this world the worth of a person is judged by what he wears. If you wear good branded clothes, you are a very worthy person. In some places people judge you worthy by knowing how many restaurants have you gone. These are some of the wrong criteria of worth conjured up by us and in order to attain such values in our societies we attain wrong means to achieve wrong criteria of worth.

Depression , and Solution for it

First of all think what we have , the others don't have it. So be grateful on it.

The real reason why we adopt wrong means to let go of our depression is that we have stopped being grateful to Allah SWT. We no longer thank the Al-Mighty.  Whenever we buy a new house, new car, better job than before we say Alhamdulillah. What about the previous old home, or an old car, we never show any gratitude for that. That is why Allah SWT reminds us to be grateful in any condition.

Prophet PBUH say before sleeping, “All praises due to Allah who has given us something to eat, and something to drink, given us shelter to be under, provided us family to give us love and care. For how many people are going to spend the night with no shelter or nobody to look and care after them” Hadith.

Gratefulness , Keep Positive Hope

Being Grateful is the biggest sign of optimism. Whatever problems we have , to discuss it in  very positive manner  , it will provide very positive outcome. 

 Let the habit of saying gratitude (Alhamdulillah) with sincerity and heart flow in our lives that whenever we see any good we say Alhamdulillah and even if we encounter any problem, we remember the other blessings of Allah SWT and gratitude him sincerely. By this way you would see most of your depression would flee away and you would have calm and happiness in your lives.
