We all have problems. We all worry, have regrets, and are under mounting daily pressures. This is the nature of life. But how to cope with all of this? How do we gain strength to overcome and solve our problems?
It must begin with the realisation that the key to it all is internal. The condition of our heart and soul could be an impediment to our happiness or even the cause of our unhappiness. The solution to many of our problems lies in the reformation of our hearts so they can be better connected to Allah.
We cannot face the troubles of this world alone. And we don’t have to. But for this, we need hearts that are willing to listen to Allah and follow His guidance. And this is why we need to fix our hearts in order to fix our problems. When our hearts move closer to Allah, we will gain the strength and wisdom to solve what seems unsolvable, bear what seems unbearable and Allah will guide and comfort our hearts in the process. Allah will help solve our problems when we are truly close to Him. But when our hearts are a mess, they will fail us.
