The Ummah globally is facing numerous problems and difficulties. Even
locally people are bracing themselves for an economic crisis. Many are
looking around with panic-stricken eyes for some solution. What is the
re-action of a Mu’min to this type of situation?
Fundamental belief
The fundamental belief of a Muslim is that Allah Taãla is the supreme Master
and He controls everything in this entire universe. Allah Taãla has ordained
conditions of peace and prosperity in His obedience; conditions of misery
and poverty in His disobedience. The choice is ours. Our actions are the
cause of our conditions.
To alleviate our suffering, we should do the following:
* Refrain from all sin, since sins invite the wrath of Allah Taãla
* Resort to abundant Tawba and Istighfaar (seeking repentance)
* Regularly perform the five daily Salaat
* Regularly recite Surah Yaseen
* Resort to abundant Duá
* Fulfil the injunction of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil
