Time and time again, while living in this world, we are beset by grief and worries. The following is a tried and tested method to ‘melt away’ your worries:
Simply think of the bounties that Allah Ta‘ala will shower us with when we are blessed to enter Jannah. Ponder over the gardens and streams of Jannah. Ponder over the fact that it will be an eternal life of eternal pleasure. Sit down and meditate over the fact that we will be blessed with the opportunity to see Allah Ta‘ala and listen to the divine speech of Allah Ta‘ala.
Ah, what beauty and pleasure will that be!
Sit in solitude and imagine that we are already sitting in Jannah. For a clearer picture of Jannah, read the commentary of Surah Rahmaan and Surah Waaqi‘ah. Continue reminding ourselves that every difficulty wipes away our sins and draws us closer to Allah Ta‘ala, provided we are patient.
Meditating over the bounties of Jannah in the manner described, will surely melt away our worries and also increase our enthusiasm for acquiring Jannah. This will insha-Allah propel us towards the obedience of Allah Ta‘ala, and the unswerving emulation of the blessed sunnah of our most beloved Rasul (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).
