10 Tips to Fight Depression !
1. Look at those below you: The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whenever you see someone better than you in wealth, face or figure, you should look at someone who is inferior to you in these respects” (Bukhari, Muslim).
2. Serve your fellow human beings: The best way to thank Allah is to serve humanity, especially those who have less than you. That’s why when the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Muslims were a small, poor and persecuted community, they used to give to the poor even more.
3. Read Surah Ad Duha: According to one report, after the Prophet had begun receiving revelation from Allah, at one point a long period of time passed with no such communication from Allah. As a result, the Makkans ridiculed the Prophet and he became severely depressed. That’s when this Surah was revealed (Quran 93: 1-11). The surah is a beautiful reminder to us to see life in the greater scheme of things, to be grateful for what we have and to never give up striving for what is right.
4. Turn to Allah in all situations: Remember that nothing can harm you without the consent of Allah. While you must take care of yourself, rely on Allah and know that He is always with you and only He can give you strength in difficult times. Also remember that He will help you can come out of a trying situation as a better person if you deal with it positively.

5. Remember Allah’s Names: Allah SWT has many beautiful Names which describe His attributes and powers. These are reminders of His Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Justice, Strength and much, more. Supplicating to Allah using these Names reminds us that Allah has these attributes more than any other being and that we can and must rely on Him during good and bad times.
6. Say ‘Hasbun Allahu wa Ni’ mal Wakeel‘; This has been translated as “Allah suffices me and He is the best guardian.” It is an excellent way of reminding us that whatever worries we have or problems.
7. Make sure when you leave home: you read this Dua ‘In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.’ Bismillahe tawakkaltu alAllahe la haula wa la quwwata illa biAllah.

10. Stop Shaitaan in his tracks: Shaitaan is the source of many of our negative emotions. It’s his job to make us feel pessimistic and to despair of any good in life. When you feel these feelings coming on, stop him dead in his tracks: say Auztho billahi minash Shaitaanir Rajeem (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan).
