Hopelessness is a Sign of Disbelief and Lack of Knowledge


Despair is a form of hidden disbelief. It is the result of ignorance about the greatness of one’s Lord (Allah (S.w.T.)). Giving in to despair is equivalent to disbelieving in one’s Lord (Allah (S.w.T.)), which is a Greater Sin. One should therefore be extremely cautious and guard against putting oneself in such a woeful state. The noble Qur’an explains this in the verse,

“... Surely none despairs of Allah’s Mercy except the unbelieving people.”

(Surah YÅ«suf 12:87)
