Light After Darkness: The Islamic Way Out of Sadness

Some mornings feel like mountains. The colour drains out of the things you loved, and a quiet question follows you through the day: is something wrong with my faith?

Nothing is wrong with your faith. Sadness visited the prophets themselves, and the Qur’an and Sunnah meet the heavy heart with mercy, not blame. In these pages you will grieve with Yaqub, endure with Ayyub, and stand beside the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the Year of Sorrow, then walk the road revelation lays out of the dark: the Qur’an as healing, prayer, du’a, care of the body, the help of people, and the hope that Allah Himself commands.

With every verse in Arabic and English, every hadith cited from its source, and a collection of the du’as of hope, this is a companion for the heart that is tired, and still believing.
