Are you depressed because you actually have difficulties in life? Or are you depressed because you are being lazy and things just aren’t working out because you’re not putting any effort into your life?

“If somebody reproaches you and makes you feel ashamed of any of your defects, do not make him feel ashamed of any of his defects.”
—Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him)
Islam isn't your religion, it's the religion of Allah. So don't think it's your right to change it to suit your needs, instead you ought to change your life to suit the divine Islamic way of life.
“The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”
—Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) [Sahih Al Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 545]
“The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.”

Two teenagers asked their father if they could go to the theater to watch a movie that all their friends had seen he denied their request.
“Ah dad, why not?” they complained.
Dad replied: “Because every movie contains nudity and portrays immorality as being normal and acceptable behavior.”
“But dad, those are just very small parts of the movie! That’s what our friends who’ve seen it have told us. The movie is two hours long and those scenes are just a few minutes of the total film! It’s based on a true story and good triumphs over evil, and there are other redeeming themes like courage and self-sacrifice. Even the movie review websites say that!”
“My answer is ‘no,’ and that is my final answer. You will not go and watch any film. End of discussion.”
The two teenagers walked dejectedly into the family room and slumped down on the couch. As they sulked, they were surprised to hear the sounds of their father preparing something in the kitchen.
“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”

A love letter from a Muslim man to the girl he loves. →

“If you love me, don’t confess your love to me, this won’t please me and will keep me away! love words don’t attract me. If you love me, wait for me and I will knock on your door in the right time. Don’t give me privileges which I don’t deserve. Keep me away from you, and I will approach you. If you approach me, I will stay away from you. Don’t love me, for I want you ignorant in love. I want to teach you love when the right time come and you will be my Halal, only when we are joined together under our Creator’s satisfaction.
Don’t tell me what you feel, don’t give me from your time, don’t push me to lose you. I am a man who won’t accept to see the one he loves committing sins or to live a forbidden love behind the back of her family. I don’t want her to feel guilty and don’t want her heart to suffer.
Put limits to me that I won’t cross, kill me inside you so I won’t grow to kill you. Preserve what is beautiful inside you. I want you innocent, chaste, pure. I want you dear, not easy. And then, Only then, I will face everything and will be ready to go through difficulties to get you
How could I be a faithful man to you when I try to break your chastity? How would I be faithful to you if I push you to betray your family? How could I trust a love which grew under Allah’s wrath ? To love you means to protect you, to preserve you not to kill what is beautiful in you.
Don’t be easy because then, I may not value you. Don’t love me now, so I won’t hate you! My heart wants you and doesn’t want to lose you. I don’t want you to be just a passing fancy to me, I want you a wife, a lover, the mother of my children, I want you to be the one I will spend my whole life with.”
