1.No matter how much you regret it or worry about what happened, the past is over. You can’t change a thing. But you can come to terms with the fact that everything happens for a reason. Live in the present where the Almighty has given you the options to restore calm to your heart!‬

2.Intentions play a huge role in our faith. You’ll be rewarded according to your intent. For a “pure” goal, like your deeds to be valid, the intent of the believer must be untainted; free of egoistic self-interest. Otherwise, this outward good deed is pointless with the Almighty! ‬

3.Don’t hate the experience that shaped you. It’s what the Almighty wants for you. That’s why He sends specific tests to each & every one of us. Everything happens for a reason. You may think it was a painful experience but if you bear patience, you’ll emerge a much stronger person!‬

4.Are your thoughts and conversation always focusing on people; what’s going on in their lives, their relationships, their social status, etc. If your answer is yes, then you have a serious problem. You need to get out of that mold; focus on yourself rather than others. ‬

5.Have you verified what you posted? Be careful not to post unverified news or suspicions on social media. Unwittingly, you may be responsible for causing problems and grief in people’s lives. You may also be fanning flames of social unrest. The results can be devastating! ‬

6.Have you ever felt like giving up because the road is too long? Do you feel discouraged & overwhelmed because there’s hard work to be done? Don’t be. Remember, you’re never alone in your journey. The Almighty is with you. Should you trip & fall, shake off the dust & carry on!

7.Don’t shrink back the minute calamity strikes. Difficulties and challenges are part of life. Stay strong and have firm faith that the Almighty wants something new for you. Perhaps you’ve been stuck in a rut for a while. Whatever it is, embrace it. Remember, hardship makes a man!‬

8.There’s so much strife and suffering in the world right now. Don’t give up hope. Keep praying. Keep supplicating. The Almighty is in control. Remember, He has tested those before us with much more. So bear good patience. It’s darkest before dawn. That streak of light WILL appear!‬

9.Learn to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self-respect, values, morals or self- worth. Don’t argue with them. Don’t get into a debate with them. It’s not worth your effort. It’s also a sign of maturity to stay away from such incidents!

10.Life is short. Instead of quibbling over petty issues, make it a point to touch lives & hearts whenever you get the opportunity. Give, forgive & apologize. If you find difficulty doing it, make a commitment & start on this day of Eid. Channel your energy to things that matter.‬
