Call out sincerely; with confidence and firm conviction that your call will be answered. Above all, be patient and trust Him. 5. There’s no need to show off how pious you are.

  life lesson by mufti menk  1. Give people time and space to do what they need to do. Stop micro-managing. You can advise and suggest but you can’t force anyone. You can pray for them to be guided and leave the rest to the Almighy. He’s the Owner of Guidance. He guides whom He wills. 2. Don’t be too quick to react to things.

So everything depends on our interpretation. 3. Be kind. Be forgiving. Be happy not just for yourself but for others as well. Be grateful for the many bounties the Almighty has sent your way. Embrace whatever trials He sends you. There are lessons and blessings in all of them if you keep an open mind. 4. Make sure you’re in the company of those who touch your heart and nourish your soul. There aren’t too many of such people around. So choose your company wisely. 5. You may be in utter despair, broken,...

  life lesson by mufti menk  1. When a trial hits you, the Almighty is testing your belief in His Wisdom. Be patient. Life is indeed a series of tests. Remember that no matter how bitter the beginning and the journey, the ending will be sweet. 2. When the heart is filled with arrogance, you become blind. You think you're always right. Everyone else is wrong. Purify that heart. 3. Don't think the Almighty doesn't know you're struggling to remain on the straight path. He sees your effort. He rewards your effort. He is with you every step of the way. 4. Give up petty arguments and pointless disputes. They're a waste of time and frowned upon by the Almighty.

Imagine taking just one fault of yours and telling the whole world about it! Don’t do to others what you don’...

  life lesson by mufti menk  1. Trust the Almighty and trust His process. Remember, when He tests you, He’s testing your level of perseverance. How much will you endure? Will you trust Him even when the answer is “wait”? 2. Your calm life can turn topsy turvy overnight; shaking you to the core. This curve ball can throw you off and disrupt your life completely. But if you lay your trust in the Almighty, you'll get over the worry and sadness. 3. Everything good is worth striving for. If it were handed to you on a silver platter, it would be too easy; it would lose its worth. This is what Paradise is about. Reflect. 4. We all sin. Don’t despair. Keep repenting and asking for His forgiveness. Don't let droplets of sins become oceans of regret. Be sincere and ask Him wholeheartedly. 5. Always choose worship over worry. Make it a habit that in all matters, go to the Almighty first, not last. 6. With all the hustle and bustle going on around you, don’t neglect rest. Rest is self-ca...

  life lesson by mufti menk  1. Always value your peace. Your peace is more important than trying to prove a point. Stop explaining yourself to people who have made up their minds on misunderstanding you. 2. Don’t stress over what’s happening because the Almighty has promised that what’s coming will be better. Bear beautiful patience. 3. Death can come anytime. It doesn’t matter if you’re healthy or wealthy, young or old. You’ll have to go when it’s time. And that’s decided by the Almighty. You can’t challenge or avoid it. 4. When you choose to get closer to the Almighty, you might become the target of brickbats and gossip. Never apologize for being a version of you that they’re not used to. If people cannot accept the NEW you, it’s not your problem but theirs. 5. When the Almighty blocks it, leave it be. If you’ve done your part and nothing is happening, move on. Period. 6. Don’t waste your time trying to please people. It’s never achievable. Remember, we always seem bad...
