STRESS MANAGEMENT
ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
1. Stress is life. Stress is anything that causes mental, physical, or spiritual tension. There is no running away from it. All that matters is how you deal with it. If you feel depressed, you are not alone.. However, here are some tips that can help from a spiritual perspective. (a). Ask Him (Allah ) He Listens: DU`A : Turn each anxiety, each fear and each concern into a Dua (supplication). Look at it as another reason to submit to God and be in Sajdah (prostration), during which you are closest to Allah. God listens and already knows what is in your heart, but He wants you to ask Him for what you want. (b) Tie your Camel: DO YOUR PART: Muslims must never become fatalistic.

Also remember that the Prophet only encouraged us to compare ourselves to others in two respects: in our Islamic knowledge and level of belief in God (Deen). In these two areas, we should compare ourselves with those who have more than what we do.
(l) Avoid Media Overexposure: Switch from News to Books: Don't spend too much time checking out the news on the radio, television or internet. Spend more time reading good books and journals. Cut down media time to reduce your stress and anxiety. And spent more time on mediation and pray. It’s important to know what's going on but not to an extent that it ruins your day or your mood. (Similarly, when you are in a sad mood, refrain from wallowing and listening to sad songs)
(m) Make the Quran your Partner: "O humanity! There has come to you a direction from your Lord and a cure for all [the ills] in men's hearts - and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy" (Quran
