Here is an AP news:
One might ask what is the point of relaying a news about which one can do nothing. Well one can do some thing but the connection is a bit tenuous. Modern life style makes heavy demands on our abilities and capabilities. We are not paying attention. This department is in the control of psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists. When people end up in situations where things do not work out properly then one of these people will suggest the following two things. Change your attitudes and change your life style. In change of life style one thing gets incorporated-knowingly or unknowingly. That is tight packing of tasks in one's schedule.
And this is accepted as a norm and normal advice.
Allah (SWT) says that in the alternating coming of day and night there is great lessons for pondering people. One of the implications of this is that a man (and indeed a woman) needs break in his or her tasks. This is what is not being incorporated in the modern attitudes, therapies and advices. It is true that psychology related people give advice people should reduce their expectations from other people. This is very well and this is very good. But there is no advice to reduce our requirements to essential ones. This is a sort of blasphemy in modern way of life. Apart from Islam no one is telling, advocating and preaching this dictum. Unashamed materialism is accepted as the norm, goal and the way of life to be pursued.
Since this sinner is among those who advocates finding solution to all of your problems in Islam it will only be natural to say a few words about Islamic attitude that is relevant for the type of situations that is the focus of this post. Islamic attitude is that high expectations (tool-e-amal) are bad. Of course you should expect only good from Allah Almighty. So Islam raises hope but reduces expectations.
And that is the end of invitation by the Praise of Allah, Lord of the worlds.
