Key Wellness and Self-Care Strategies
-
Purification of the Soul (Tazkiyah): Emphasizes cleansing the heart from spiritual and psychological burdens. It encourages distancing oneself from negative personal history and viewing life through a spiritual lens connected to divine wisdom. Spiritual growth involves accepting divine decree and cultivating a good opinion (husn al-dhann) of God’s plan.
-
Letting Go and Acceptance: Advocates adopting a mindset of surrender to divine will, similar to the angels’ attitude of “I know what you do not know.” Letting go leads to satisfaction of the heart and reduces suffering caused by resistance or control. It encourages acting on causes (taking practical steps) but leaving outcomes to God, exemplified by the practice of Istikhara (prayer of consultation).
-
Maintaining a Positive Outlook Despite Trials: Recognizes that what appears as hardship or loss may be beneficial in the divine plan. Encourages patience and trust that difficulties serve a higher purpose. Desires and dislikes may conceal hidden wisdom; what we hate might be good for us and vice versa.
-
Spiritual Connection and Daily Awareness: Encourages seeing signs of divine presence in everyday life—such as sunrise, sunset, and nature. Cultivating consciousness of God’s attributes (Asma’ wa Sifat) deepens spiritual awareness. The Quran is used as a guide and “life GPS” to navigate challenges and understand life’s meaning.
-
Balance Between Action and Reliance on God: Highlights the importance of taking initiative in life (organizing causes) while trusting God’s decree. Rejects the idea that thoughts alone manifest reality (law of attraction), emphasizing divine will as ultimate.
-
Detachment from Materialism: Life is temporary and a test; attachment to material possessions or worldly status leads to suffering. Encourages viewing life as a journey or rental, with the real life being the hereafter. Promotes prioritizing spiritual goals over worldly desires.
-
Social and Ethical Responsibility: Advises spending wealth wisely, such as helping the needy rather than excessive personal indulgence (e.g., multiple pilgrimages at the expense of others’ needs). Emphasizes sincerity and kindness in interactions, avoiding pride and superiority.
Productivity and Practical Life Tips
-
Organizing Causes (Taking Practical Steps): Success requires active effort and organizing the necessary means. The prayer of consultation (Istikhara) is for seeking guidance before action, not for expecting signs or dreams. Once action is taken, one should let go of the outcome.
-
Mindful Use of Knowledge: Encourages learning within one’s limits and not exceeding one’s expertise. Values humility in acquiring and applying knowledge.
-
Avoiding Negativity and Conflict: Warns against engaging in disputes, slander, and belittling others. Advocates for respectful dialogue and unity within the community.
-
Embracing Change and Avoiding Routine: Recognizes human need for variety and renewal to maintain mental well-being. Suggests breaking monotony to avoid dissatisfaction.
