Obtaining salvation in times of difficulty and hardship
Question
I am absolutely scared as everyone is saying we are living in the end time. I can't walk without feeling absolutely hollow in my chest. I am constantly worried and even feel shaky as I walk. My hands are even shaking as I type this. Please help I am so so fearful. Permanently scared.
Answer
'Uqbah bin 'Amir (radhiyallahu anhu) said that he asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), "How can salvation be achieved?" Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, "Control your tongue, keep to your house, and weep over your sins." Hence, when this is the path of salvation prescribed by Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) then hold dearly to it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
