Faithful guidance in facing distress
1 August 2025
The story of Maryam a.s. teaches us that stress and emotional burden are part and parcel of life. Every person will face it, and it is not a sign of weak faith.

Each trial reveals how we manage and overcome pressure, grounded in faith. As believers, beyond it being a personal duty, we must see this as a communal responsibility or fardhu kifayah, to help one another through stress and hardship.
Whatever form of trials and stress we may face, the support of family and those around us is crucial. It requires attentiveness and collective action, as a sign of our amanah (responsibility) and ihsan (compassion).
