8:24 'O you who believe! Respond to God and the Messenger when he calls unto you that which will give you life. And know that God comes between a man and his heart, and that unto Him shall you be gathered'
SubhanAllah!
Come to that which gives you life (happiness/life force energy/rest) β‘οΈ Qur'an, Hadith, Dhikr and Salaah.
God comes between a man and his heart β‘οΈ Anxiety depression, fears, addictions, anger, disbelief - all of it.
The verse suggests that when we respond to God's calling we open up the space between stimulus and response. CBT is based upon opening up the space between stimulus and response and we can help that by responding to the calling of Allah SWT. We can expand that space and Allah SWT is there guiding us. Allah SWT is aware of even what we have a blind spot to and even what exists in our subconscious. He is aware of what is in us and even we are not aware of. Incredible. Trust the calling!
The calling of Allah SWT can look like anything -
- Responding to the call of prayer.
- Giving charity to someone needy.
- Choosing to say a good word even when we might not want to.
- Refusing to gossip.
- Hurting when you watch the news and wanting to express that.
Ask Allah SWT -
Allah SWT I am only human, please make your calling loud and clear. Allah SWT intervene with my subconscious and my blind spots and guide me to goodness. Allah SWT allow me to appreciate that it is you that drives me and I just have to listen; and please continue to do so. Allah SWT please help me remove the weight of anxiety/depression/addiction/anger/jealousy/ego traps .....
