Surah Maryam verse 71 is intended for everyone including Muslims or only non-Muslims

 

Muslim creed - No matter who you are, there are things that make you feel good and things that make you feel bad. This concept is commonly referred to as our mood or happiness level depending on the situation. 

For Muslims, however, the happiness we should aim to reach beyond the mundane happiness we experience in day-to-day life and include a spiritual component – this type of happiness comes from positive thinking and an optimistic mindset, both of which have strong ties to faith in Allah SWT. With this in mind, take some time to reflect on why your spiritual health matters so much in Islam!

Muslim Perspective on Positivity

In Islam, having a positive mindset is essential for Muslims because it allows us to remain focused on our goals and remember that Allah is always with us. A positive mindset also allows us to be grateful for what we have, which is another important Islamic principle.

Additionally, positivity helps reduce stress and anxiety, which can lead to better physical and mental health. Finally, when we have a positive outlook on life, we are more likely to act in ways that are pleasing to Allah and bring peace and happiness into our lives.

What Is Negativity?

We often think of negativity as simply having a bad attitude. But it's much more than that. Negativity is the absence of positive thinking. It's the belief that things will always go wrong, that you'll never succeed, and that you're not good enough.

Negativity can be caused by many factors, both internal and external. You might be raised in an environment where negativity was common or you may even have been conditioned to feel that way from your parents. 

For example, if your dad's mantra when things went wrong was I told you so, then you'd likely take that attitude into adulthood. You could also have become negative after experiencing failure after failure, leaving you wondering why something hasn't worked out in your favor yet. 

Creating a Positive Environment - First Paragraph: Having a positive environment doesn't necessarily mean being surrounded by happiness or being idealistic about life.

Step 1 – Recognizing Our Negative Thoughts

We all have negative thoughts from time to time, but for Muslims, it's important to catch these thoughts and turn them into positive ones. A positive mindset is key to a happy and successful life, both in this world and the next.

 The first step to creating a positive mindset is recognizing our negative thoughts. The human mind often jumps to conclusions before we have all available information, and sometimes those conclusions can be negative. 

We may notice something that upsets us or makes us angry, and immediately assume it will affect everything else in our lives negatively as well. This attitude can cause us to focus on only what's wrong with our lives instead of what's right, which makes us feel stressed out and disappointed in ourselves.

Step 2 – Control Our Lips and Tongues

As Muslims, we should always try to have positive mindsets. A positive mindset is key to having faith in Allah SWT. When we have faith in Allah SWT, we are more likely to be successful in this life and the hereafter. Additionally, a positive mindset helps us control our tongues and lips. By speaking positively, we can avoid backbiting and slander. We can also use our words to build others up instead of tearing them down.

Step 3 – Overcome With Dua

One of the best ways to maintain a positive mindset is to turn to Allah in prayer. When we make dua, or supplication, to Allah, we are essentially asking for His help and guidance. This act of humility can do wonders for our state of mind, as it reminds us that we are not in control and that Allah is the ultimate decision maker. It also helps us to let go of any negative thoughts or feelings we may be harboring, as we know that He will take care of us.

Supplications for Keeping a Positive Outlook

As Muslims, we are constantly striving to better ourselves and our iman. One way to do this is by keeping a positive outlook, which can be difficult at times. However, by making supplications to Allah SWT and asking for His help, we can develop and maintain a positive mindset. Here are some supplications that can help us keep a positive outlook
