life lesson by mufti menk

1.If you’re going through hard times now, remember it won’t last. You will become a better version of yourself because of what you endured. Hard times make you resilient. It may not feel so now but it will be worth it in the end. Just press on. Stopping is not an option.

2.When you’re not trying to impress anyone but the Almighty, your whole life will take on a different perspective. Much of what you’ve been through will add a breath of fresh air to your life. Your habits, decisions, responses etc will change. You’re not worried what people think.

3.Growth is quiet. It doesn’t shout. It’s humble and reassuring. You feel a deep sense of achievement but you don’t seek validation. You feel a sense of calm. You know you gave it all you got; and you know that the Almighty knows. That’s good enough for you.

4.Don't stay long where you don't belong. When people are engaged in gossip, backbiting etc plan your move. Learn when to leave. It's wisdom. Save yourself from the unnecessary chatter which is not only an absolute waste of time & sinful but will also eat away at your good deeds.

5.The Almighty doesn’t promise us an easy ride; a life with no scars. When we experience life’s challenges, we will be changed. The more trust we have in Him, the stronger our faith, the better life becomes. The decision is ours to make. Let’s not short-change ourselves.

6.Stop revisiting your past. It no longer exists. It doesn’t define you. It’s a good reminder but don’t allow it to hinder your future. As long as it woke you up from your slumber and you’re trying to fix things for the better, that’s good enough. The Almighty sees your efforts.

7.Let’s face it. Many love to vent. They feel like venting to others takes a load off their chest and makes them feel better. Learn how to heal without venting to everyone. Turn to the Almighty for all your needs. After all, He’s the only One who knows everything about you.

8.Almighty. Help us think of death often and the fact that we will all be returning to You. Help us realise that it could happen anytime. Take us only when You are totally pleased with us. In the mean time help us prepare well for that long-awaited meeting with You. Aameen

9.Be mindful who you allow on your boat. The wrong people could do untold damage to the whole boat, even causing it to capsize. Steer clear of those who love to gossip & spread lies. Don’t bring them on board. Keep your circle small. Choose only the ones you can trust.

10.Quit overthinking. It will rob you of your peace and sleep. You’ll end up miserable and frustrated with life. Don’t do this to yourself. Keep praying and asking the Almighty to ease your affairs and leave things to Him. Trust that He will grant you the best outcome.

11.Don’t judge. Be kind. Many are struggling with so many life issues, aggravated by the pandemic. Yet they carry on as if everything is normal in their lives. They may be your friends or even family members. You never know the private, silent battles they’re going through.

12.When you have a strong connection with your Creator, even your “bad days” are blessed days. You take everything in your stride, you’re not fretting because you know that He knows and He always has your back. So you go through life with a heart full of faith, one step at a time.

13.Be kind and good-hearted wherever life takes you. It's not your job to change someone. You can lead by example and show them the best behaviour, but remember, at the end of the day, guidance comes from the Almighty. Your job is to spread love and goodness. Pray for them.

14.The Almighty doesn’t close one door without opening another one with bigger and better things eventually. You have to trust Him. Every disappointment is an opportunity for something greater; and remember He not only opens doors, He closes them as well.

15.You’ll be at peace when you find the strength to trust the Almighty unequivocally. Remember, He’s perfect in all ways. Trust His directions for your journey. Keep moving ahead, even when the going gets tough. Nothing good comes easy!
