5 Ideas of Coping with Illness

Many of us can relate to the sufferings of being ill. Here are some ideas to handle emotional and physical sufferings of illness – 

  1. Be self-aware. Be attentive to your negative thoughts and feelings. Repeat yourself that Allah loves only those who are patient during their struggle.

“…..And Allah loves the patient ones.” (Al-Imran 3:146)

Remember that the Prophets of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon all of them) suffered the greatest of all human beings!

2.      Remember during the illness you will come near to Allah ‘Allah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'ala’

The Prophet SAWS said – 

“Whenever a Muslim is afflicted by harm from sickness or other matters, Allah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'ala will drop his sins because of that, like a tree drops its leaves.” 

“Expect good because Allah makes a believer’s sickness an expiation (for his sins) and a period of rest. However, when a disbeliever falls sick, he is like a camel whose owner ties it then lets it loose; it does not understand why it was tied nor why it was freed.”

By being sick you will get an opportunity to learn kindness and inculcate important traits of a believer. You should never hesitate in seeking help from others or while admitting your vulnerability.

3.      Whenever you are feeling sick, try something to feel grateful about.

Be thankful that you are not as ill as you could be. Remember that Allah, ‘Allah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'ala’ rewards appreciation to his servants.

4.      Try to look for solutions to improve your condition

Find what works for you. Try improving your condition while finding out ways. Remember that becoming sick shows a sign that you need to take care of yourself both physically and mentally.

5.      Make dua whenever you feel pain in your body

Allah ‘Allah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'ala’ loves when we remember him and make dua to Him in all situations. 

Whenever you feel pain in your body, put your hand on the place where you feel pain and say “Bismillah” (in the name of Allah) three times. Then say, “Avuthu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri maa ajidu wa uHaathiru, which means I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I find and of what I guard against.” 

Illness is an unhappy part of this world, but for a believer, illness is a way to come closer to Allah, ‘Allah Subhanahu-wa-Ta'ala. Through self-awareness, a patient attitude, and hope for recovery, can turn our illnesses into ways for becoming a better Muslim. And remember to visit those who are ill! Remember the blessed hadith:

“When a Muslim visits a sick Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till the morning; and he will have (his share of) reaped fruits in Jannah.”

Good Teachers Leads to Great Students

When a great teacher and a good student unites, surprising results follow, and under ideal situations, incredible transformations of the personality take place. The demand made today on the modern teacher is to transform education and thus aid in the process of developing human nature. The three instruments provided to the teacher for this purpose are guidance, example, and leadership. A great teacher makes use of guidance by words. They allow the inner power of their knowledge to radiate through actions rather than through words. The second and more significant tool at the hands of the teacher is an example. The example expected from the teacher is not merely their visible behavior, but the inner life, aims, and the honesty with which they pursue those plans. It’s argued that professional capability and the power of expression should be expected from teachers. But this claim overlooks the fact that the example set by the teacher’s inner and external life is automatically communica
