You try your best after the calamity to regain and go back to as normal of a lifestyle as possible.

You do not allow the calamity to stop you from your life itself.

You don't dwell in the past and because of a past tragedy continuously live in misery, live in pain.

No, you sort of force yourself to move on and get back into the energy of life, the rhythm of your schedule.

And this is again, well demonstrated, that's why our Shariat has come and said it is not allowed to mourn anybody who is dead more than three days.

What does it mean? It's not allowed to mourn more than three days.

So for three days, you are allowed to let the grief take time to heal.

Take a break from work, just not really caring for yourself that much and it's just difficult to live.

Okay, max three days, if it's less than that, no problem, but max three days.

After three days are over, the Shariat requires you to try your best to snap out of it.

Not your internal grief that's not going to go away ever, but your external body has to get back with the program.

Why? Because our Shariat is not a morbid Shariat that you live in the past.

It's the Shariat that teaches you how to live your life in the future.

You cannot allow a past tragedy to affect the entirety of the rest of your life.

That's not what Allah wants.

Now you could be in pain and suffering.

Our Prophet, as we know, loved Khadija immensely and her death was extremely difficult.

In fact, the year she died is called the year of sorrow, an entire year of sorrow,

because she died. Abul Thalib died.

The incident of Thalib happened.

And the Sahaba said, we didn't see him smile for an entire year after the death of Khadija.
