Tawakkul | Managing Anxiety | Mufti Abu Layth

and one thing to understand that look everything will be okay just sometimes we don't know how things will be okay we don't know but we can only just deal with what we have at hand and yeah in our in our way we show gratitude it always begins with that because it will kind of tame it will it will control not only the inner turmoil but it will have you on the right kind of frequency

and on that frequency you will receive as well it's it's it sounds i know i don't know whether how it sounds but it seems to definitely work so you know like today people were saying about i saw this thing about look oh my god fuel prices are going up and people are panicking and um i saw on a few whatsapp groups and actually there was i you know i saw some people panicking and it is look it can be a bit distressing when we think about

these things but what we have to do is whenever something like this happens just pause and you just just breathe everything is going to be okay it does not you may say well how but what i've got this i've got that and you've got like 50 questions going off in in your mind and this thought and that thought and before you know it that thought's already kind of playing out and this thoughts playing

you've got to just and you just you're only concerned with the step in front of you you're just taking that step it doesn't matter it will allah will things will work out they always have they always will there's no need to to kind of

become so kind of panicked because look anything that happens in life there's only two things about it either you can do something about it directly or you can't if you can then stop panicking and do something about it or you can't in which case there's no point panicking anyway because you can't do anything about it [Laughter] you know it's it it is what it is so

it's always important to remember in these things that husband allah that you know don't worry as a lie sufficient and and allah has got things that it's okay you just a person just they just breathe yeah right so

um let's see rizwan khan salam of team fellow community good spirits positive yep allah keep you blessed right yeah it's important i'm saying this because look people it's natural to find anxiety to kind of get into a stir to start panicking and if you do there's always techniques as well a person should you know if you can do a few minutes of mindfulness every

day a few three minutes if you can just three minutes you can go on youtube find a three minute kind of just mindfulness clip to just bring your mind to just zero in it is a huge you know it's something to just tether you if you can do more things in a day there's so many more methods to kind of um i've got a clip on youtube as well about certain um even with salah i've got one on salah about how to incorporate

certain things in salah just as a just like a breathing technique just to kind of to to be more in the now during salah but otherwise if a person's feeling anxiety and they're feeling stressed out they they need to you see it all begins our world is like a projection of what's inside here and a person that in here is chaos they think the world is chaos and when it gets still they feel the world is still so it all kind of begins

in there so yeah i would say that um and there's a good technique as well there's there's a few techniques i've shared some on youtube in the past you know i will do some more clips as well um i had just been a bit distracted but i was thinking actually this week and i should start doing more of those clips i want to start again so i will but there are some good interesting techniques that you know for if people suffer from stuff

like uh becoming anxious anxiety or they they can't seem to calm down um there's there's quite there are a few that i have shared and once an interesting one is the kind of self-embrace method that's actually an interesting one and i always i found that always fascinating from when when i learned about it a while back because i thought it's interesting that even in the surah of about being kind of this this kind of being kind of

embraced and um and that this this technique because a person what they can do is they just take their right hand and they just place it under to the side and they're left on top and they just hold and you just embrace and you just breathe in and you just hold and you breathe out and you do that just slowly for between 30 30 to 60 seconds and you notice the whole like how as simple as that it's a very simple technique like that

how it just radically reduces instantly anxiety on the spot and obviously there's a lot of uh explanations in why that may be happening when a person embraces self embraces or they could somebody could embrace them as well but this is like a self-embraced method there are other methods as well that are used popularly as well in in kind of trauma therapy one is usually like this and sometimes they they do it like that and sometimes the other hand on the on the gut but often just like that as well but these things are you and you can find a lot as well if people can

research them nowadays you can find loads on youtube as well
