Until recently nobody could answer that question.
Man was not born just as it is. Allah has given variant duties, among others to be CALIPH or LEADER on Earth.
For that Man should Fill and Beautify the Earth, Studied science, Work, Decorated the Earth and give birth new generations.

Allah Said :

"And it is He who hath made you His agents, inheritors of the Earth; and He hath raised in ranks, some above others, that He might try you in the gifts He hath given you; for thy Lord is quick in punishment; yet He is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful".[Al An'am 165]

As LEADER Man has Status & Function to be carried out, as follows :

●] FATHER as GUARDIAN,
●] SCOUT as GUIDER,
●] TEACHER as EDUCATER,
●] BIG BROTHER/SISTER as PROTECTOR,
●] MANAGER as EXECUTER

Those Status & Function has to be orderly integrated (be one & compact) restrained & armful by "HONEST, LUSTROUS HEART, SMART, COMPETENT(DILIGENT), BROAD-PERCEPTION, EXPERIENCE & PIONEER SPIRIT(POSITIVE WANDERER)"
Be side on duty as Caliph, Man is also obliged to Act of Devotion in order always to Remember the Creator.

Allah Said :

"And I have only created Jinns and Men, that they may serve Me"..[Adz Dzariyat 56]

Mankind have the Highest Rank among other human created by Allah.

Allah Said :ٍ

"We have indeed created Man in the Best of moulds".[At Tiin 4]

All things available on the Sky and on this Earth was by purposed created by Allah for Mankind, not for other human. All have been created by Allah for Mankind to be useful to itself and to Act of Devotion to HIM.

Allah Said :

"It is He Allah, Who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; moreover His design comprehended the Heavens, for He gave order and perfections to the seven firmaments. And of all things He hath perfect knowledge".[Al Bagarah 29]

Mankind is born with natural tendency characteristic, which are within his body, among others are :
WEAKNESS Characteristics :

* BLESSED ACT OF DEVOTION *

Don’t Be Sad; Ramadhan Day-9

Points to ponder, Thematic

In this life we often have experience in the sense of sadness, however, do we realize that when we happy, we are easily to forget it; on the contrary when we are sad, we screamed by calling His name. Therefore always remember Him by "repeatedly chant part of the confession of faith, often in unison, as a form of worship" under any circumstances whatsoever.

Allah Said :

“So, REMEMBER ME; I WILL REMEMBER YOU. And be grateful to Me and do not deny My Grace”.[Al-Baqarah 152]

Sadness will only make us weak to act of devotion and to do good deeds, also will make us easy to despair, nasty thought as well as to occur sense of pessimism.

Allah Said :

“Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such trial has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until even their Messenger and those who Believed with him said: "WHEN IS THE HELP OF ALLAH ?" UNQUESTIONABLY, THE HELP OF ALLAH IS NEAR”.[Al-Baqarah 214]

A deep sadness can also be the source of disease, destroyer of souls as well as diffuser doubt & confusion, therefore do not grieve excessively.

● DON'T BE SAD.

Because there is the Holy-Quran as a Guide & Clues of our lives.
Allah Said :
“Indeed, this Holy-Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward”.[Al-Israa 9]

● DON'T BE SAD.

Because there is prayer always will be granted by Him.
Allah Said :
“And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I RESPOND TO THE INVOVATION OF THE SUPPLICANT WHEN HE CALLS UPON ME. So let them respond to Me by obedience and believe in Me that they may be rightly guided”.[Al-Baqarah 186]

● DON'T BE SAD.

Because in reverse to any hardship for sure there will be ease.
Allah Said :
"And raised high for you your repute......For indeed, with hardship will be ease......Indeed, with hardship will be easel".[Ash-Sharĥ 4-6]

● DON'T BE SAD.

Because ease will follows hardship under any circumstances.
Allah Said :
“Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not charge a soul except according to what He has given it. ALLAH WILL BRING ABOUT, AFTER HARDSHIP, EASE”.[Aţ-Ţalāq 7]

● DON'T BE SAD.

Because Allah probably will not overload us beyond the limits of our capacity.

Allah Said :

“ALLAH DOES NOT CHARGE A SOUL EXCEPT WITH THAT WITHIN ITS CAPACITY. It will have the consequence of what good it has gained, and it will bear the consequence of what evil it has earned. "O' Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred". "O' Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us". "O' Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people”.[Al-Baqarah 286]

● DON'T BE SAD.

Because with our trust any purpose will be satisfactory provided.
Allah Said :
“And will provide for him from where he does not expect. AND WHOEVER RELIES UPON ALLAH - THEN HE IS SUFFICIENT FOR HIM. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed, Allah has already set for everything a decreed extent”.[Aţ-Ţalāq 3]

Mighty Right Allah with all His Words.
Allah Said :
“So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are true believers”.['Āli `Imrān 139]

May all of us, including me, able to avoid an excessive sense of sadness when we in the middle facing various issues & troubles.
