1.Use your mouths for good or bad. The choice is yours. Our words can help if used wisely or they can hurt. Choose to speak kind words that motivate & give hope & encouragement. Speak words of praise & keep the Almighty in focus always. Just don’t use your words to complain & harm!‬

2.No matter what you’re going through, always remember that the Almighty is in full control. He reminds you and shows you His Prowess by putting you in situations that you can’t control. So bear good patience and accept His Decree knowing that everything will come to pass! ‬

3.Be wary of this trap. It happens to those who want to please everyone around them. They become people-pleasers and do it with such fervor, often jeopardizing their link with the Almighty. Don’t! It’s not worth it. Know your priorities. Protect yourself at all costs!

4.Don’t be mean to people. You really don’t want to hurt them in such a way that they complain to the Almighty, raise their hands to the Lord of the heavens and seek help from Him. That’s why it’s important to quickly seek forgiveness once you’ve wronged someone. Don’t delay it!

5.It doesn't matter how many sins you've committed. What matters is you’re remorseful and want to be guided. Seek the Almighty with sincere, heartfelt repentance. Don't let the sins of yesterday dictate your future. Clear your slate with Him today!

6.Are you content with life? Being content is different from being happy. Happiness doesn’t last; it comes & goes, it’s mainly from the outside. Contentment comes from a deeper place. You’re at peace with what the Almighty has bestowed on you, no matter what your circumstances!

7.Almighty. We pray for peace in our hearts. Although we’re not able to carry out the Hajj this year because of the pandemic, we ask You to protect the chosen ones who are on their pilgrimage this year. We ask you to facilitate their journey & keep them safe. Aameen!

8.Almighty. We ask You to renew our hearts with strength and purpose on this day. ‪Forgive our past sins and help us get closer to You. We know You have our backs and have brought us this far. Guide us always for we can't make it by ourselves! ‬

9.Guard your thoughts at all costs. Don’t let anyone mess with your mind. You become what you constantly think about. If you think you can’t, you probably won’t make it. If you think you’re a failure, you’ll end miserable; feeling sorry for yourself. You won’t get much out of life!‬

10.Don’t fret no matter what you’re going through. Nothing lasts in this temporary world. Hardship will turn to ease. Your prayers may be delayed but they’re never rejected. The best people often had difficult beginnings. But with patience & a good attitude, they have the best ending!
