Depression -

the price we pay for economic development and the islamic view of it

Feelings of isolation, hopelessness and anxiety surround a major proportion of the world's population. The spirit of man has been damaged and snapped away from its nature. Families separte, justice cannot be found, people feel like used up, little consumers whose only role in life is to look good and enjoy, enjoy enjoy! Spend! Spend! Spend! and make the rich get richer, while the majority wallow in indebtedness and rising interest rates.

Without money and beauty in today's world, a person is left behind; feeling of little value. Eating disorders, failed relationships and ever increasing low self esteem form a bitter, vicious circle of self destruction.

But people do survive all this, and with the Mercy of Allah, are able to grow and be better for their experiences. Returning to the natural way of life as prescribed by Islam, is the cure for all diseases of the body, heart, mind and soul. Drugs may stabilize body hormones and chemicals but at the end of it all, the soul needs peace - and that peace, which is the final cure, can only be found in Islam.
