Don’t Be Sad by Dr. ’A’idh ibn Abdullah Al-Qarni is one of the best-selling Islamic books of the last generation, and it earns that reach on a simple premise: sadness, anxiety and despair are treatable conditions, and Islam already contains the treatment.

What the Book Covers

Rather than a single argument developed chapter by chapter, the book works as a companion to return to — short, practical reflections rooted in the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the lived example of the righteous predecessors, each aimed at replacing a specific form of sadness with a settled, workable Islamic outlook. Al-Qarni wrote it explicitly for a Muslim Ummah beset by trials from every direction, and the advice throughout is practical rather than merely comforting: what to actually do with worry, grief, anxiety, frustration and despair when they arrive.

Who This Book Is For

Anyone going through a difficult season, and equally useful read slowly, a page or two at a time, as ongoing spiritual maintenance rather than only in crisis.

By the Same Author

Al-Qarni followed Don’t Be Sad with a companion volume aimed specifically at women: You Can Be the Happiest Woman in the World.

Excellent book, I gift it often to others to benefit. It’s shifts your perspective from a deficit mindset to an abundant mindset. And lots of interesting tangents and authentic sources for Hadith and verses
Great book.

This book is really great because you can read it anytime you are free, you don't have to take so much attention like to any other books of that kind. The other good part of this book is that it doesn't repeat similar ideas with the same words so it's not boring to read it.

Assalamu Alaykum! A must-read book for everyone. After the death of my first son, I immediately read it to somehow lessen the grief I felt. Those words of encouragement, hope, faith, positive views have helped me sufficiently. Alhamdulillah. May Allah reward the author for his ceaseless effort while producing this piece. I like how the thoughts are expressed into words. Simple. Concrete. Precise. Clear. And Islamically based, of course.

I recommend all the books by eid al-karni. He has a fresh way to present new ideas and specific up to date way to explain classical topics. I read his books-and my kids [pre-teans and teans] like to read them. Must read.

This book is a real gem and has slowly gained a reputation the world over as an awesome and powerful tool to improve mental health via the Qu ran and Sunnah. Written in an easy style this book is accessible enough that even non-Muslims will appreciate it as it uses quotes and examples of a healthy lifestyle from a non-Islamic perspective, but then brilliantly ties everything together and illustrates how we must eventually all look to Allah [Most Beneficent, Most Merciful] for true happiness. I think this book has been translated into several languages and I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up on Oprah as her 'book of the month!'

This book deserves a lot more than just 5 stars. May Allah SWT bless the author for such a great work. He covered all the topics any person will or has gone through in his/her life. With the help of great quotes from Quran, scholars and other great philosophers, the author makes his point so ever clear. People who may not be suffering from depression should read this as it makes the faith in Allah more profound. As for those who do suffer from sadness, this book will be their way to positive outlook on life Insha Allah.
