1.Almighty. Accept our good deeds & acts of sacrifice. Wipe away our sins & forgive our shortcomings on this Day of Sacrifice. Grant us patience as we face a different world due to the pandemic. Only You know what lies ahead. Keep our hearts light as we entrust our affairs to You.

2. Forgive our sins, those which we commit knowingly & the ones we commit out of ignorance. May we never lose hope in Your Mercy! Aameen!‬Do something pleasing to the Almighty today! Give up something for His sake. Experience the true meaning of sacrifice. Do it sincerely with full submission. It will strengthen our faith.

3.Have you ever stopped to think that the news you’re spreading about someone might not be true? Slander is dangerous. Don’t engage in such acts. Remember, if you hear something false or dubious about someone, defend him. The Almighty will defend you in this world & the next.

4.Start by fixing yourself. To do that you need to acknowledge the problem, tackle it head on & resolve the issues within yourself. Aim to be a better version of you & work on it. Shift the focus to yourself. The Almighty will guide you step by step.

5.We may not have control over everything that happens in our lives but we do get to choose how we respond to things. Worry is a choice. Happy is a choice. It’s all about your attitude and how you wish to view the world. The choice is yours!

6.You can’t run away from your problems. That’s right. You can’t. The Almighty has sent it to you for a purpose. You need to accept it, get to the root of it & solve it. He’s there to guide you if you seek Him. He’s waiting to see how you respond. He wants to elevate your status! ‬

7.Take time for self-reflection and introspection. Do it for self-development. But the truth is we’re too busy & when we’re not, we’d rather be analyzing people’s lives based on what we see on social media. Remember, we don’t learn from experience but from reflecting on them!

8.Everything that happens in your life is preparing you for the next stage. Nothing happens by chance. Everything has been carefully crafted by the Master Planner. Your Creator. It won’t be a bed of roses but if you trust Him, He will guide you to move forward, one step at a time! ‬

9.Every time you think you’ve reached a dead end, remember that when you see a wall, the Almighty sees a way; an opportunity. Your faith should keep you going. It tells you that no matter what lies ahead, the Almighty is there to clear the path for you. You have to trust Him!

10.Are you this person? A mature one with a special heart who says that no matter how much someone hurts me, I'll still pray for him. It’s not easy. Most of us will actually do the reverse; start cursing & swearing at the person when this happens. But such people do exist. Respect! ‬
