To every troubled person
To everyone who's heartbroken
To everyone who's sad
Don't be sad!
Oh you suffering from insomnia
Whom the night is screaming at him
Oh long night go away
Welcome the morning
Isn't the morning near?
A morning that would fill you with light, joyfulness, and happiness
Oh you who's overcome with anxiety
Take it easy
For from the horizon of the unseen rises hope
And there is relief for you in the tried and true rules of life
Oh you whose eye is filled with teardrops
Stop crying
And relieve your eyes
Calm down!
For you have a covenant with the Creator
And He is looking after you
Rest assured oh servant
The judgement has already been issued
And the choice has already been made
And kindness has already been shown
And the pain of discomfort has already been alleviated
And the thirst of difficulty has already been quenched
And the reward has already been established with Him Who doesn't turn anybody down
Rest assured
For you are dealing with the One Who's in full control
One Who's kind to His servants
One Who shows infinite mercy towards His creation
One whose providence is governed by infinite wisdom
To him whose weighed down by his sins
Don't be sad!
For your Lord is infinitely generous and merciful. He will accept you whenever you turn to Him.
And He will be happy with your repentance to Him
Say: O My slaves who have wronged themselves! Despair not of the mercy of God.
Indeed God forgives all sins
Indeed He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
All sins can be forgiven by God
As long as the repentant brings forth sincerity and faith
To her who lost her child
Don't be afraid and don't despair
It may be that God will return him to you as He has returned Moses to his mother
To him who lost his son! Don't be sad!
It may be that God will return him to you even if it's a while
As He has returned Joseph and his brother to Jacob
To him whose family and kin caused him so much hurt
Don't be sad!
And be kind and forgiving
And follow the good example of Prophet Joseph
To him whose been overcome with sickness
Don't be sad!
It may be that God will soon grant you a cure
As He did with Prophet Ayyub
To him whose son has been deceased
Don't be sad!
For the Prophet lost all of his children except one
And he was the best of mankind
To him whose trade fell short and lost all of his money
Don't be sad!
It may be that your Lord will give your something even better as He did with the owners of the garden
To him who was jailed unjustly
Don't be sad!
It may be that God wanted something good for you
And spared you from a great tribulation
And remember how Prophet Joseph was jailed before you
To him who was shamed by his community
Don't be sad!
For even Prophet Muhammad was accused despite being the purest of God's creation
To him who's been overwhelmed by the dowry of his bride
Don't be sad!
And remember how Moses spent 10 years paying off his bride's dowry
To her who's been waiting tirelessly for a righteous husband
Don't be sad!
Be kind to your parents and God will bring a righteous husband right to your doorstep
as He did with the two daughters of the elderly man
When you're in distress, ignore all of your worries
And relegate your affairs to destiny
And welcome good news that will make you forget what happened
It could be that in the very displeasing matter that has befallen you there will be contentment in its aftermath
There could be more distress or there could soon come relief
God does as He pleases. So don't object to His decree!
God has gotten you accustomed to beautiful things in the past. So expect the best from Him.
