Past, PRESENT & Future - العثيمين

“So whosoever intends to perform Hajj therein then he should not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commit sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj.”
[Baqarah 2:197]
Because disputes make a person defend himself and his thoughts change for the sake of the argumentation, and he will became worried and it will distract him from worship.

The point is always keep in mind the fact that Allah wants you to be happy all the time, far from grief.

And in reality a person has three situations: a past situation, a present and a future one. 


A person forgets the past and the worry that it had because of it and what it contained is over, if it was a calamity, then say:
“O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it”
[Muslim]
and forget about it.
And for this reason He forbade wailing over the dead, why? Because it renews the grief and reminds one of it.

As for the future, its knowledge is with Allah; rely on Allah and when issues come to you then seek their solution, but those things which the Legislator has ordered you to prepare for then prepare for them.


It is the present time which it is possible for you to deal with, try to keep away from everything that causes worry, grief and sadness so that you can always be relaxed and have an open breast, dedicating yourself to Allah and worshipping Him and [dedicating yourself] to your worldly affairs and those connected to the Hereafter.
When you try this, you will relax.

As for tiring yourself over what has passed or worrying about the future in a manner the legislation has not allowed, then know that [if you do so] you will become exhausted and lose out on much good.”
