“Among the things that ward off worry and anxiety is to concentrate one's attention and concern oneself with the affairs of the present, and to stop being anxious about the future, or grieving over the past. This is why the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him sought refuge in Allah from anxiety and grief' Grief is usually over past events that you can neither bring back nor rectify. Anxiety is usually fear and concern over what will come in the future.

Therefore a person should be the 'son of the moment’, concentrating his energy and attention in the betterment of his existing events, and his present moments. Concentrating attention over the affairs of the moment is the necessary cause of their accomplishment, and it is what gets rid of grief and anxiety from the heart.”
