Our Islamic religion called for good qualities and morals and forbade the creation of bad morals. Among these bad morals is despair and despair, which may be due to weak faith in God and lack of endurance and patience, or may be the result of psychological, social, and material pressures. As the Qur’an tells us, a person is vulnerable to this feeling. The Almighty said: {Man never tires of supplicating for goodness, but if evil touches him, he becomes miserable and despondent},[1] but the believer, through the strength of his faith, can control this feeling so that he does not collapse or surrender to despair; Because he has good faith in God - Glory be to Him - and he knows in the depths of his soul that everything that befalls him is from the command of God - Glory be to Him - and that whatever hardship the matter has reached will come after it ease. [2] The Almighty said: {For with hardship comes ease * Indeed, with hardship becomes ease}.[3]
