Abstract

In a world divided by conflicting ideas and ideologies, humanity endures untold pain and suffering. The human soul, which originates from God, faces endless challenges in its earthly journey in pursuit of goodness and wholeness. Though its primordial nature is inherently good, the soul must confront countless trials and tribulations. The forces of evil—both within and outside of man—constantly attempt to derail him from the path of righteousness. Life, as lived by some communities, becomes meaningless in the absence of God. While some claim they can navigate life using reason alone, they too, at some point, often find themselves lost, struggling without a clear understanding of life’s true purpose. This lack of purpose breeds anxiety and other psychological struggles. In severe cases, individuals who feel disappointed and helpless may even attempt to end their lives prematurely. Amidst the chaos of the world, a Muslim is consistently reminded in the Qur’an to remain patient and steadfast in prayer to Allah. These prayers offer inner strength, empowering believers to face the trials of daily life with resilience and hope.
