Life skill: Stress Management

Explanation of life skills

Stress management is the tools, strategies, or techniques that reduce stress and the negative impacts stress has on your mental or physical well-being.

AL QURAN

Surah Ar-Rad, 13:28

“… without doubt in the remembrance (Zikr) of Allah do hearts find tranquility.”

Surah Yunus, 10:57

“O mankind! There has come to you a direction from you Lord, and a healing for (the disease in your) heart, and for those who believe a guidance, and mercy.” 

HADITH 

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also advised his followers to make specific dua’a during stressful times, such as: 

“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is an excellent guardian, and we repose our trust in Allah.”

“Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return. O Allah, I beseech you for the reward of my hardship. Reward me, and compensate me for it with something good.”

All the Prophets also went through times of great stress, and through such times they always remembered Allah and found peace in remembering Him. A practice also followed by our beloved Prophet (PBUH).

“The Prophet (PBUH) once said that in prayer, he would find rest and relief (Nasai). He would also regularly ask for God’s forgiveness and remain in prostration during prayer praising God (Tasbeeh) and asking for His forgiveness.”
