  life lessons by mufti menk 1. Some get a big thrill from boasting about their achievements or showing off their possessions. They believe that they’re better than others. They may even end up bossing people around. That’s wrong. Remember, whatever you have, someone will have more! That’s life! Stay humble! ‬ 2. We don’t respond well to being put down & pride gives people that feeling with its “I’m better than you” implications. Humility has the opposite effect. If you put others above yourself, they’ll feel good whenever they’re around you. That will surely have a positive impact! ‬ 3. Take the spite out of your heart. Purify it. Your heart is a small organ. When you fill it with hatred for someone, you’re preventing it from being filled with the love of the Almighty.

Grant us the ability to listen t...

Don’t always blame circumstances for where you are in life. The Almighty has blessed every one of us with so much, it’s up to u...
