1.Don’t wait to turn back to the Almighty. Do it in these blessed days of #Ramadan. The sooner, the better. Seek Him. Thank Him & you’re on the road to a better life. It’s a misconception to wait for things to be prefect before you pray. Things will never be perfect. Start now!

2.When you do things the Almighty’s way, you’re a winner. Every time. It may not be apparent immediately but it will surely show up eventually. Satan will always intervene. Be sure to protect yourself against His whisperings. Be strong. Remain steadfast and don’t cave in!

3.Don’t block your blessings by being bitter about someone else’s. Keep gratitude alive in your heart. After all, the Almighty has given you more than what you’ve asked for; with more on the way. Recognize that because He can take it away anytime. Being grateful will increase it!

4.Life can be short and unpredictable. You need to come to terms with this and when you finally do, you’d give up a lot of the unnecessary stress that you cause for yourself. It also becomes easier to give up all the drama, let go of grudges and value what you have in your life!

5.Never say you've nothing to offer someone who's down & needs help. A listening ear, a word of encouragement, kindness or even a smile can lift the person out of his doldrums. Be generous with whatever the Almighty has given you because it will all come back to you one day!

6.Almighty. We ask You to forgive all our sins. You know how much we have transgressed and the countless sins we have committed. Do not take us to account for our lack of attention. Do not punish us for messing up repeatedly. Continue to be patient with us. Have mercy on us! Aameen

7.In this age of social media, everyone wants overnight fame and instant gratification. Nobody wants to do the hard work. The truth is hard work is the prerequisite. Else nothing is achieved. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. We need to face the brokenness in order to shine.

8.Never tear someone down to build yourself up. You may enjoy momentary bliss but that’s all; it won’t last! We may not realize but we tear others down by laughing at them & the things they do, especially when they make mistakes. Stop this! The tables can & will turn. Wait for it!

9.Stop comparing your marriage to what you see online. Couples post pictures making it look like they’re having a perpetual honeymoon and you fall for it. You get miserable. Wake up. Real life isn’t like that. Besides, envy is dangerous. Disastrous even; so get offline & on track.

10.Upholding the ties of kinship is important & severing them is a sin. Use this blessed month to mend whatever is cracked or broken. Don’t wait. You’re missing out on a lot of blessings if you let bad feelings fester between family and relatives. Go on; make the first move!

11.You’re on the verge of giving up because you can’t stand the pain. You’re wondering if the Almighty is aware of what you’re going through. Never doubt He’s All-Knowing, All-Seeing. Remember, you might be experiencing tremendous pain but the result will be beautiful! Trust Him!

12.Count your blessings instead of your problems. Do that often; you’ll emerge the winner. You’ll find pathways charted for you. The Almighty will grant you strength in times of need, peace in chaos, joy in sadness and hope in hopelessness. The Lord of the Worlds won’t disappoint!

13.Whatever you want to do, do it soonest possible. Don’t wait for the perfect time, the perfect moment, the perfect day. It doesn’t exist. Perfection is not for this world. So before you end up miserable because you’ve been stuck waiting, act on it. Let the Almighty be your Guide.

14.The truth is people will talk about you and there’s not much you can do about it. Don’t throw yourself into emotional turmoil when you hear what they’re saying. Remember, the problem is theirs, not yours. If you feel the need to defend yourself against a lie, do it calmly!

15.Plug in with the Almighty wholeheartedly. Do it consciously. Don’t let worldly affairs get in the way. Cut off all the distractions in your path. Those who try to lead you astray. Those who waste your time. Let them all go. Life’s too short to be engaging in futile activities!

16.If their success intimidates or upsets you, then you have a problem. You’re not fully focused on your own journey. You’re also letting ego get in the way. Learn to disengage from what others are doing or not doing. Pay no attention to their harsh words too. Mind your own journey.

17.Ramadan is indeed a very blessed month. Don’t waste it. Give it your all. Losing out would be foolish as you may not see the next one. Let us strive to make this the best month. The Almighty has promised forgiveness & huge rewards if you fast solely for His sake. Paradise awaits you.

18.Don’t ignore what you think are the small things in life. They could be the ones that bring you the greatest benefit. Don’t take things for granted. The Almighty puts everything in your life for a reason; to fulfill a purpose. Read the signs. Often you’re too busy to see them.
