life lesson by mufti menk-291

 1. Don’t wait to forgive someone till they apologise. You may end up waiting forever. Remember, it’s easy to hold a grudge and it’s easy to lay blame. But by doing so, you’re allowing others to have power over you. For the sake of closure and healing, you should forgive and move on. ‬ 2. You have the chance to start anew every day when the Almighty returns your soul to you after sleep. It’s up to you to decide today how you want to live your life; in His pleasure or displeasure. You have a duty to fulfil. Make it a good one. 3. Don’t dwell on how privileged you are. It’s how you end the journey that matters. Strive to live a life that endears you to your Creator. Everything else is secondary. Keep asking for a good end. May Allah Almighty take us when He’s most pleased with us. 4. Don’t always expect things to go your way. They won’t. If the Almighty delays what you’ve asked for or decides not to give it, it’s one of the biggest tests of your faith and patience. Don’t lose the pl...

 1. Hold on to your inner peace no matter how bad things are. That's your greatest strength. Without it, you have nothing. Remember, everything will pass. 2. Wherever life takes you, just be kind. Never mind if it’s not reciprocated. Do it for the sake of the Almighty and watch how your life takes on a different turn. 3. Stay connected to the Almighty. Cut off all wrong connections. Those who try to lead you astray. Those who waste your time. Let them all go. Life’s too short to be engaging in futile activities. 4. Being positive is a mindset. It means you choose to respond in a manner that’s optimistic & constructive. You remember that the outcome could have been worse. It doesn’t mean you’re in denial; nor is life a bed of roses. Far from it. It means you’re grateful. 5. Allah Almighty doesn't expect perfection. He expects and rewards effort. He knows your struggles. As long as you’re trying, that’s good enough. Strive to do better each time. He will reward you and elevat...

 1. Almighty. Make us among those who fast sincerely for Your sake. Accept our worship and nights in prayer which we do in full submission. Keep us away from heedlessness and forgive all our sins. Aameen. ‬ 2. Don’t stress over things you can’t control. Hand it over to the Almighty. There’s no need to spend sleepless nights thinking about your problems. It’ll get you nowhere. He will easily take care of things if only you’d trust Him. He’s the only One who can turn your life around. 3. Almighty. Keep us focused as we approach Ramadan. Starting the race is always much easier than what comes later. We ask You for endurance & resilience. Keep our hearts firmly attached to You, knowing You always have our backs. Aameen. 4. Don’t be afraid to reboot your life and start afresh. Make the Almighty your priority or you’ll find yourself going back to square one in no time. Never leave Him out of your equation if you want success, both in this world & the next. 5. Almighty. Keep us aw...

 1. Every night of Ramadan is a door. Some walk past it. Some knock. And some enter with tears and come out forgiven. Almighty, protect us from Hellfire and grant us Your Forgiveness. 2. If you let Ramadan pass without seeking & being granted His Forgiveness, you have truly missed out. So don't let ignorance & negligence overtake you. Seek His Forgiveness to get closer to Him. Do it in these last days. 3. Almighty. Help us make the most of the remaining time of this month to get closer to You. You have granted immense blessings & shown us how patience is key to our trials. Protect us, grant us ease & forgiveness. Aameen. 4. Ramadan is almost over. Don't waste the most blessed nights of Ramadan in that which is sinful or futile. Engage in prayer, remembrance, recitation, repentance and charity. Make the most of the blessings. 5. Haters are those with low self-esteem. They don’t believe in themselves; so they try to put other people down in a sick way to lift them...

life lesson by mufti menk-288

 1. It’s a fact that we won’t like everyone who comes into our lives. That’s okay because we’re humans. Let people leave gracefully. Don’t be petty and say nasty things about them. Be mature. Take it in good spirit. We all have our likes and dislikes. 2. Stop comparing yourself to others. If the Almighty wants you to have what others have, He will give it to you, if not now, perhaps at some stage later on. Be happy with His Decree. Learn to accept His plan. If you’re grateful, He will surely grant you more. 3. Life is often challenging. Trial after trial. We don't have all of the answers, but we know that You do. Almighty, we have full faith in You and know that You always have our backs. You’re our Provider, Cherisher, Sustainer, Protector and everything we need! Keep us firm in faith. 4. Almighty. Help us keep our faith alive by focusing on You. Help us be ever grateful for the good You’ve bestowed on us. We thank You for everything! Aameen.‬ 5. Watch out. Desire. Anger and negli...
