Trauma

 Whenever a person goes through stressful situations, event, conditions and occurrence, after that stressful occasion he goes through trauma of the situation. for example getting divorced is traumatic, being single without being married throughout your life is traumatic, failing a university exam or course or professional exam or professional course is traumatic, being jobless is traumatic, having financial problem is traumatic, losing a loved one is traumatic, death of a loved one is traumatic and finally being a failure in life is traumatic. Whenever we go through post traumatic stress disorder and we are under stress,anxiety and depression we are suffering from serotonin neurotransmitter problem and need to take medicine such as Sert and Inderal. In the end what I would like to say is that believe in Allah's plan and praying five times daily namaz and reading the Quran daily help to overcome trauma.

About bereavement and death of close relatives

 Just recently the eldest brother of my father Retired Colonel Muhammad  Siddiqi died. He just died three years after my father died in 2023. He was an intellectual and a great retired army colonel. He had great general knowledge and memory as he wrote a book on our family history. He was the one who built our house in DHA for me and my family and for his family. He looked in considerable pain during his last days which was very sad for me and eventually Allah gave him death to relieve him of the pain. Allah has promised us in the Quran that he will not give us more pain that we cant bear. Everything has been predestined by Allah and even before we are born our age and place of death has already been decided by Allah. This world is temporary and our hereafter is permanent. If a person is a good person with good deeds then he will surely meet the souls of close relatives who have died before his own death. In this way Colonel Siddiqi's soul might have met the souls of my father...

About obesity

 Being obese is not a good thing as it not only causes diabetes and heart and liver problems but also causes a lack of intelligence in humans. Eating all the time and taking a high sugary and carbohydrate diet can not only cause diabetes, heart problems and cancer but also a lack of cognitive skills, a below average IQ  and hence a lack of intelligence. Eating and consuming junk food causes aggression and mental diseases such as bipolar depression in especially young adults. Therefore we must avoid junk food as it is not only cancerous but causes aggressive behaviour in humans. If both the parents are obese the number of fat cells in children increase hence children of obese parents turn out to be obese too with lack of cognitive skills. In the end what i would like to say is that we should take a proper balanced diet in order to stay sharp and healthy.

about being patient

 We must show patience whenever we face a calamity or an adversity. Allah has also said that I am with the patient. If someone is being aggressive with you and wants to fight with you and is instigating you to fight with you must show patience in these kind of situations. As it is said that it takes two to fight we must show patience and avoid fighting. In his invitation to Islam  the Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace Be upon Him was badly wounded by the citizens of Taif even then he showed patience and didnt curse or retaliate with them. During the Quraish persecutions of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) 's tribe his companions showed a lot of patience for the sake of Islam. In the end what I would like to say is that showing restraint and patience is very rewarding for us both in this world and the Hereafter.

Everyone is unique

 No one in this world is born similar. Our height, weight, finger print, skin, colour and our IQ are totally different from one another. Our religion and beliefs are also not the same as we travel around the globe. This doesnt mean we are superior to one another. The blacks dont have superiority over white people and white people have no superiority over blacks whether it is colour of their skin, caste, creed, race or strength. Everyone has got ability and everyone is a genius in their own right as Einstein said that if we ask a fish to climb a tree it will keep on believing it is stupid. There fore everyone has it's own ability, acumen, aptitude, intelligence, strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has some flaw not everyone is perfect and on the otherhand there is no person on earth that doesnt have any ability. Everyone has some distinct talent and ability. In the end what I would like to say is that Allah has made everyone useful in this world.

About dementia

 Dementia occurs usually in old age such as Parkinson's disease. Some famous celebrities who had Parkinson disease include Sean Connery and boxer Muhammad Ali. Dementia is a memory loss disease which usually effects memory in language, routine tasks such as walking, talking and eating and other daily tasks. People in their 70s and 80s suffer from dementia as they have cognitive disabilities and they find it difficult to learn new tasks whether its education, recreational activity, professional activity, sports and daily tasks such as eating, walking, sleeping, running and talking. Also in Parkinson's disease the hands and limbs shake. Muhammad Ali the celebrity used to shake his hand who suffered from Parkinson's disease. In the end what I would like to say is that not only old people but young people can also suffer from Parkinson's disease.

Dont be depressed, anxious and stressed out

 It is said by Allah that depression, anxiety and stress weakens the body, mind and soul. We are going to have physical and mental illness if we go through stress, anxiety and depression. In Islam always smiling and being happy is encouraged. We should be happy on the blessings Allah has bestowed on us. In Surah Alam Nashrah or Surah Inshirah it is revealed that after every hardship comes ease that means that after every sad moments, trauma, anxiety and hardship and stressful events come a time of ease and release of tensions. One must keep faith in Allah that he will cure us after every hardship and stressful and traumatic event. In Surah Taghabun it is revealed that whatever it is occurring in life or has happened in life is for a reason and is for according to Allah's will. It is also revealed that it is for our own good and benefit and according to teach us a lesson such events happen in life. In the end what I would like to say is that we should trust Allah after every stress ...
