life lesson by mufti menk

1.When you trust the Almighty, there’s no worry. Worry and worship don’t go together. Worry is a powerful tool used by Satan to deny us of what our Lord has planned for us. He will plant all sorts of ideas in our head. Do not let Satan get the upper hand. Be on guard. Stay vigilant.

2.Even when they treat you badly, keep a good attitude. Even when things are not going your way, keep a positive outlook. Remember, the Almighty is watching all that you do. His tests are meant to strengthen you and allow you to grow. Do your best and He will elevate your status!

3.Unfortunately there are no short cuts in this journey called life. The long road can be difficult but you need to develop endurance, resilience, strength & experience. The Almighty is aware of what you do. He has promised it will all be worth it in the end.

4.Be careful what you say. Don’t let your words wound people’s hearts. Be selective in your choice. Use words that encourage, empower and motivate. Use your words to invest in all that’s good. We need that now more than ever. Keep negativity far away.

5.Don’t attach yourself to that which is temporary. Do your best in everything but remember that the goal should always be to please the Almighty. Seek His help to purify your intent. As long as the link with Him is good, any hurdle along the way will become a lot easier to handle.

6.At times, your worst enemy could be your own memory. Stop thinking of things that happened in the past. As long as you’ve learnt your lesson, let all the mess go! Don’t dwell on it. That’s what Satan wants. Don’t give in to him. Don’t let him pollute your mind!

7.Almighty. Keep our hearts firm & make us steadfast in our prayers & acts of worship done solely for You. Grant us humility and a soft heart, never showing off or feeling that we’re more pious than the next person. Protect us from being arrogant & may we never judge others. Aameen.

8.The end of something is often the beginning of something new. Don’t mope over what’s done. We usually get so caught up with things that we can’t see the light of day! Life is a process. Trust the journey because the Lord of the Worlds is the Best Planner. He’s in full control.

9.Always be prepared to lend people a helping hand in their time of need. It’s so much better than a thousand hands clapping for someone’s success. When you help alleviate another person’s problems, the Almighty will surely do the same for you in this world and the Hereafter.

10.Make it a habit to do good, no matter what’s going on in your life. When you sow good seeds, you will reap and enjoy a good harvest later on. So don’t entertain any negativity and friends who try to talk you out of doing good. Keep selfishness at bay.

11.The world is in a sad state. People have become callous & hearts hardened. They’re more argumentative & often on edge. Swear words are the norm & good speech considered boring. Mental health, depression, anxiety have become buzz words. We desperately need compassion & empathy.

12.Never be ashamed of the scars as a result of your journey. It’s testimony that you’ve conquered the pain, learnt your lesson and emerged stronger for it. Don’t allow your scars to hold you hostage. See them in a positive light. See them as a sign of strength to do even better.

13.Be wary of those who are keen to see you fail. They will tell you to not bother doing certain things because you aren’t good enough. Ignore them. The Almighty has fully equipped you and empowered you to overcome whatever needs to be done. Don’t let such comments set you back.

14.The Almighty has created you for a purpose not for popularity. You’re not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay. Not everyone will like you and that’s okay too. Strive to please your Creator, not the creation. You’ll never be good enough for people. That’s the nature of life.

15.Let go of the disappointments, let go of what didn’t work out, let go of negativity, let go of yesterday’s baggage, let go of the hurt because of what someone said to you. Get your mind going in the right direction. Seek guidance from the Almighty. Let peace reign in your heart.

16.It’s the Almighty’s plan that you’ve made it this far. Many things could’ve halted your progress but you’ve moved past them with grit. Many times you were tempted to give up but you’ve managed to find light where it was dim. You are exactly where you need to be. Trust Him.

17.Never doubt that the Almighty is always with you. Ask Him for guidance to solve your greatest problems, peace to go through your greatest storms, patience to wait on the answers to your heartfelt prayers and firm faith in the midst of your most challenging tests and situations.

18.Sometimes what didn’t work out for you was indeed the best thing that happened to you. But you couldn’t see it then because you were lamenting the loss. You have to trust the Almighty in your journey. He will always map out the best plan for you. Trust the process.

19.If and when you’re tempted to speak about someone else’s fault, speak of yours first. Often it’s far easier to fix other people’s problems than focusing on your own. Whatever fault you’ve identified in a person, probably goes to show that the fault is also there in yourself.

20.Almighty. Make sinning difficult for us. When we’re tempted to sin, let us remember that You’re watching & that the Angels are recording all that we do. Give us the strength to exercise self-control & to stay away from things which displease You. Keep our hearts attached to You.
