Hopelessness.

.Sometimes it happens so that we are completely hopeless, we don’t see any path and just see darkness all around. Yes, it happens so in everyone’s life. We just feel that we are useless and can’t achieve anything in life.

But the question arises, “Why we feel so?”The answer is very simple. It happens so when we are continuously striving for something, continuously praying for something, putting all the efforts but still not achieving it. If you feel so , congratulations you are a human and your emotions are intact. There is no stigma in getting disappointed. Being humans we all do. Being humans we all lose hope very easily.

But what we do after losing hope is important.Because Allah has advised us in Holy Quran,

۔ ” ( میری جانب سے ) کہہ دو کہ اے میرے بندو! جنہوں نے اپنی جانوں پر زیادتی کی ہے تم اللہ کی رحمت سے نا امید نہ ہو جاؤ بالیقین اللہ تعالٰی سارے گناہوں کو بخش دیتا ہے واقعی وہ بڑی ، بخشش بڑی رحمت والا ہے ” (الزمر:53)

Now the question is what are our feelings when we are hopeless.

1. We start thinking that Allah doesn’t love me because I am a very sinful person that’s why I am not getting what I want and will not get anything in my life.

2. We start losing believe in miracles in dua and our dua lose the passion and faith. We don’t pray with faith because deep down we start thinking that my prayers will not be answered.

3. We start complaining, why me? Why not others? Why only I have to suffer? Why I can’t get what I want? It start affecting our relation with Allah.It happens so with every human , because being human this is our nature to start complaining when the things are not happening according to our desires.It’s okay to get disappointed but it’s not okay to lose hope completely and just stop doing the efforts.

Now it’s important to think that what should be done to keep the hopes alive and keep striving.

1. Keep faith in Allah’s plans:

Even when you see the darkness all around and apparently don’t see any path, still keep faith . Just keep reminding yourself that Allah knows what’s best for you. We can’t decide what’s best for us. It’s a huge possibility that what we desire for us is not best for us . So just think for a while how Allah can bless us that thing which is not best for us.
