life lesson by mufti menk
1.There will be times when the Almighty holds you back temporarily until the path is clear for you to move on. He can see things we can’t! So be thankful for the delay. Don’t curse it. The Owner of Time knows when it’s best for you to carry on with your journey!
2.When the hearts are sick, when the hearts are corrupt, even the best deeds count for nothing. So the heart plays a major role & deserves great attention. Seek the Almighty’s help often to rid the heart of major diseases - hatred, envy, malice etc. Keep purifying your intention.
3.Worry about your own sins, your shortcomings & transgressions. If you do that faithfully, you’ll have no time to worry about what others are up to. Remember, the Almighty is going to ask you about you! He won’t ask you about anyone else. Focus on self. Be the best version of you!
4.Stay humble at all times. Pray for humility. Ask the Almighty to constantly remind you of your faults & flaws, so you don’t act like you’re more superior than the next person. Ask Him to forgive you for the unkind & harsh words you used on others thinking you have the upper hand.
5.Make a conscious effort to talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens and hardship. The problem with us is we let our burdens overwhelm us, forgetting the One who is in control of every aspect of our existence. Remember, the ungrateful are never successful!
6.There's nothing random about your life & where you are right now. Every step has been carefully planned by the Lord of the Worlds. This is where you need to be. This is where He wants you to be at this stage in your journey. Learn the lessons. They’re your greatest blessings!
7.There’s nothing wrong in planning your day meticulously but always remember in the end, it’s the Almighty who decides how that day goes. But as long as you intended well you shall have the reward even if you never got to do it. Actions are always judged by their intentions!
8.Let’s face it. We don’t like delays. In fact, we hate it. We want things to happen when we want them. But the truth is, behind every delay, there's a blessing. Remember, the Almighty knows what we don’t. There’s always some hidden good why certain things happen the way they do.
9.All that you’re going through; your pain, your struggles will always lead to strength. Yes. Without a doubt. They aren’t random events but carefully planned by the Almighty. The Best Planner. They have a purpose. They will lift you, strengthen you and mould you. Embrace them.
10.You won’t feel at ease if your heart’s not in the right place. Keep purifying your intention In everything that you do. In this age of social media, it’s easy to get carried away & thrive on exaggerated needs for acceptance & validation. Check & protect your heart at all times.
11.Be on guard always. Bolt the door to temptation and don’t let Satan’s arrows get through. Occupy your thoughts with the remembrance of the Almighty, positivity and good words that can inspire. Keep busy with beneficial things and don’t leave your mind idle! Stay vigilant!
12.Almighty. We pray for healing in many areas in our lives. We know You can heal us in a heartbeat. Forgive us for trying to fix our situations all on our own when true help & healing must be found first in You. Forgive us for forgetting how much we need You above all else. Aameen.
13.When you feel broken,
When you’re in a dark place with no glimmer of hope,
When your world seems to be crumbling, crashing down on you;
Always remember the Almighty will never abandon you. That one sincere prayer can change your entire life. Where there’s hope, there’s life.
14.Every now and then, pause. Take stock of your life. Are you pleased with your progress? Which areas need improvement? It’s a blessing to be able to stop, recharge and gain strength before moving forward. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad!
15.Remember, people can’t destroy what they don’t know. Stop giving them the ammunition. Stop telling them too much. Stop telling them more than they need to know. People are curious by nature. So be careful what you share, especially on social media! Be safe not sorry!
16.There will be times when things don’t work out because that’s not where the Almighty wants you to be. Don’t question Him. Instead, trust Him, His plan & His timing. Even when you don’t understand the details of His plan, bear patience because it will be unravelled in good time!
17.Cut out distractions from your life. It’s a tall order because we’re surrounded by all sorts of things daily. Focus on how much you’ve been blessed with and how much the Almighty has favored you. Give up ingratitude or you’ll end up missing out on the good happening around you!
18.There are some who will scrutinize your life not because they like you or are admiring you. They can’t believe that you’re doing so well despite all the hate & venom they have thrown in your direction. Take heart. Don’t stress over it. The Almighty knows & sees all the goings-on!
19.Don’t ruin the happiness of others. Your turn will come. Be careful how you react when the Almighty blesses your neighbour. Be happy for him and pray that the Almighty rewards you in a similar manner. Don’t go around spreading rumours or gossiping about him. Check your heart!
20.At times, you’ve just got to let things go for your sanity and peace of mind. Don’t ask any questions or look for any answers. Don’t expect people to understand you. Don’t expect anything from anyone but the One who made you. You’ll have fewer disappointments that way.
