1.Sometimes your trials and tribulations last longer than expected. Don’t lose heart. Ask the Almighty for strength and perseverance to keep going. Giving up is never an option. We need a strong finish. Never forget that! Bear patience. A breakthrough is on the way!

2.Almighty. As we continue to face these uncertain times, keep us firmly rooted to our faith. Guide us to be mindful of what we allow to take root in our consciousness. Keep us positive, away from toxic thoughts & people, knowing that You’re in complete control of all situations.

3. ‬Gratitude is key. If you have a home, thank the Almighty. If you have a family, thank the Almighty. If you have both, it’s indeed a huge blessing. Think of the millions who have been displaced & have nothing to call their own. Let’s cut out ingratitude from our lives!

4.When others take a step back and give up on doing what’s good, don’t let that be a negative pull for you to follow suit. That shouldn’t be a catalyst for you to rethink your situation to give up as well. Instead, focus on your goal and try to strengthen it. You’ll get there!

5.Take a step back and look at the big picture. Looking at the nitty gritty often clouds your judgement and can even confuse you. Sure detail is important but if you lose sight of the big picture, you’ll lose sight of your final destination. And that’s what counts eventually!

6.Guard your tongue. How often have we spoken unnecessarily just for the sake of hearing ourselves? Many feel the need to fill the void of silence with mindless dribble which often leads to more trouble. Remain silent if you don’t have anything nice to say. You won’t regret it! 7.The Almighty does not promise the absence of struggle in this life. That’s why He created us. To test us. So be humble, bear good patience and do the best you can in all things. He will elevate your status. Keep negative thoughts at bay. You’ll get through this!

8.When the Almighty has blessed you with something, accept the blessing; be grateful. The One who gave you everything can take it away in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it could be gone! Remember, there’s nothing special about you except your deeds & the state of your heart. ‬

9.Be kind to yourself. You’ve come this far and with the Almighty’s help you’ll get through these challenging and confusing times. Don’t give in to overthinking, focus on the tasks ahead. Guide your mind to that which is positive and beneficial. Trust that tomorrow will be better!

10.Focus on what you have, no matter how little & you’ll be happy. Focus on what’s missing in your life & what the neighbours have & you’ll be sad. It all depends on where your focus lies in life. If it’s the Almighty’s blessings then you’ll be content! Else, you’ll be miserable! ‬

11.If you have a problem with someone’s skin colour, you have a problem with the Creator. He created us in a multitude of colours so we can appreciate diversity & live in harmony. Don’t let anyone tell you who is more superior. Treat people fairly. The Almighty is watching. ‬

12.Drop expectations. You’ll be happier with fewer disappointments. Learn to expect nothing. If you think people will stop whatever they’re doing to attend to you, you’re wrong. Don’t wait with bated breath. Instead, turn to the Almighty! He won’t disappoint!

13.Satan does not want you to repent at all. But if he cannot do that, his next best plan is to delay your repentance. He tries to tell you that it will be easier later on so sin all you want now! That’s a lie. The longer things go on, the harder it becomes to repent. Do it today!

14.Let go of disappointments. ‪Let go of things that didn’t work out. Let go of negative thoughts that drag you down. Let go of “nothing good ever happens in my life” feeling. Choose to focus on the good & positive each day. The Almighty will turn everything to your advantage!!‬

15.No skin color is superior over the other. All shades of colours are beautiful. Remember, the Almighty doesn’t tolerate arrogance and racism. It’s a sin. A huge sin! He is only concerned with the state of your heart and your level of piety. Keep your focus on the right things.
