"How foolish is man! He ruins the present while worrying about the future, but weeps in the future by recalling his past." - Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA)A♥☀♥

Are you on the verge of giving up? Don’t! Stay patient for a while longer. The Almighty wants you to know that the battle is not over. Remember, it’s darkest before dawn. He works miracles. Trust Him because He has not stopped working in your favour.

When things aren’t going well, it’s easy to sink into depths of despair & allow Satan to cloud your mind. Resist it! Rise above it, shake yourself free; dry your tears. Refocus your energy & reclaim your faith. The Almighty’s waiting for you. You’ll succeed in spite of it all!

Be mindful of your reaction to those who’ve wronged you. Two wrongs do not make a right. You can’t be mean, angry or bitter & expect goodness in return. Don’t become obsessed with revenge. Let the Almighty handle it. Be the better, kinder person always. Rise above it all.

When your heart is broken, you think you’ve reached the end of the road and you feel empty; be careful what you fill it with! Satan is an opportunist. He will cause doubt & unleash evil thoughts; strive to block him out. Turn to the Almighty. Seek His help. Only He can heal you!

Don’t complicate your life. If you want something done, do it yourself if you can. If you want to change a bad habit, go for it. Don’t just talk about it. If something distresses you, get to the bottom of it. Above all, always keep the Almighty on your radar. You’ll get there!

Stop playing the blame game. Some just blame others for all their problems. They’re never responsible, accountable or want to take ownership of their problems. It’s always someone else’s fault. This is a dangerous way to live. Change your mindset if you want to fix your life.

Almighty. Forgive us for all the times when we were facing problems & were so quick to become discouraged or depressed; thinking there was no way out. We forget how You’ve never let us down. No matter what comes our way, we’ll put our trust in You. We know You’ll see us through!

The Almighty has gifted you with unique abilities and talents. They’re special to you. Remember, He blesses us all differently. Never allow anyone to make you feel insignificant. Such people love to make another person feel as though they aren't important. Don’t stand for it!

Of the perfection of one’s Islam is to leave that which does not concern him. Don’t be a part of the gossip mill. You have sins, I have sins, ‘they’ have sins. Ask Allah to conceal & forgive your own sins, & don’t concentrate on the sins of others that are irrelevant to you.

Often in life we get upset with what happens, especially when things don’t go according to our plan. We forget who is in control. The Lord of the Worlds has the best plans for us always, yet we often doubt, get upset and start questioning Him! Remember, He is the Best Planner.

Nabi (ﷺ) said:“I guarantee a house in Paradise for one who gives up arguing, even if he is right;& a house in the middle of Paradise for one who abandons lying even when joking; a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who makes his character excellent.”[Abu Dawud]♥☀♥

It’s common to look at how others are doing and feel like you’re not making much progress or worse, have remained stagnant. Don’t listen to such whisperings from Satan. Whenever you think your life isn't going anywhere, just remember where you began and count your blessings!

Many chase money, wealth, status, etc in life. But never have they found true contentment & peace of mind from any of that, because the hearts are attached to the wrong thing. If you want a heart that’s content, develop a relationship with your Maker. Your soul will be at ease.

You’re my Creator, Provider, Cherisher, Bestower, Sustainer & Curer. You’re my source of strength & wisdom. You’re my Eternal Refuge. You’re my Guide & Protector. You’re my go-to in good & bad times. You’re the Lord of the Worlds. You’re the One. The Almighty.

Almighty. Protect us from those who are trying to harm us & have bad intentions towards us. Keep our hearts from fear & fill it with love & goodness. You are indeed our refuge & strength! Surround us with those who will empower us. May You always be our Guide & watch over us!

Don’t be insensitive towards the feelings of others. Learn to be empathetic & feel for them. Put yourself in their shoes. Try at least. Sometimes it’s not what you do or say that is inconsiderate, it is the lack of it that hurts. Reach out to people. Listen more. Don’t judge.

We may not understand why some things happen. Embrace them anyway. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives happened when we weren’t sure what was going on . Life is what we make of it. The Almighty is watching how we respond. Thank Him upon all conditions. Always.

We live in an age of envy; social media has created a world in which everyone else seems happy but you. You’re finding it hard to come to terms with it. You can’t achieve the lifestyle you want but which you see others have. You need to get back to reality! Stop the comparison!

Change is not easy. Change is hard work. Change requires discipline, focus, single-mindedness, commitment. But the truth is, if you are obsessed with results, you will never change. You’ll get nowhere. Focus instead on change & you’re more likely to get the results that you want.
