Encouraging the Performance of the Acts of Worship during Times of
Distress
Allah also recommended that His Prophet resort to acts of worship during
times when he felt distressed because of the disbelievers who defied and denied
him. Allah said,
[وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ
أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ - فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُنْ
مِّنَ السَّـجِدِينَ - وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ ]
(Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say. So glorify
the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him). And
worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death))
(15:97-99).
