The Solution to Loneliness and Depression

October 27, 2024Ali190 views

Social media has become a source of distress for many individuals. It is ironic that the platforms created to foster connection often lead to increased feelings of isolation. Despite having numerous online acquaintances, many people are experiencing heightened loneliness.



To address this issue, it is essential to step away from our screens and engage with our communities, particularly by visiting places of worship. This not only enriches our spiritual lives but also significantly enhances our social and mental well-being.



When we gather for prayer, it is important to greet those around us, whether we know them or not. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) frequently highlighted the significance of visiting one another. An inspiring story illustrates this: a man set out to visit a friend for the sake of Allah and was approached by an angel who inquired about his intentions. The man replied that he was visiting simply out of love for his brother, with no ulterior motives. In response, the angel conveyed that Allah loves the man for his actions.



This profound message reminds us that our faith provides solutions to various social challenges. Let us pray that Allah alleviates feelings of loneliness and social exclusion among our youth and seniors, and may He grant peace to our communities.



Peace and blessings be upon you.
