1.Never underestimate the power of prayer. Sadly, asking the Almighty for help is often the last resort. He fully expects us to make an effort to solve our problems but He doesn’t want us to do it alone. He’s always there for us but waits for us to reach out. Call out to Him.

2.Stress can affect more than just your physical health. Mentally, it causes you to crumble. You lose hope, faith, trust & peace. Inner peace can only be achieved by remembering the Almighty frequently; asking for His help & forgiveness; not just in times of difficulty.

3.You have survived betrayal, slander, fake friends, etc. It’s all part of the Almighty’s plan to show you who should remain in your life and who shouldn’t. Be mindful and always remember to never take anyone for granted.

4.Never doubt that the Almighty always has a plan for your life. Learn to trust Him not only when you understand the process but even when you don't. Because you know that He wants only what’s best for you.

5.Choose your friends wisely. Be in the company of mature people. Those who admit they're wrong. Those who don't blame others for their mistakes. Those who take responsibility for their actions. These are people who will help you grow.

6.You may feel you're being pulled in different directions. The world, with all its trappings, going all out to win you over. And the Almighty draws you in the opposite way to save you. Hang on to your faith. Don’t ever lose it.

7.Don’t put off till tomorrow what you should do today. When you have the “one day” attitude, you’ll miss out on many opportunities the Almighty’s placed in your path. You refuse to see what is dangling in front of you right now. Don’t end up the loser by being a procrastinator.

8.Don’t make it your business to gossip about those who are trying hard to improve themselves this #Ramadan . Pray for them instead. Motivate and encourage, add a good word but never put them down. Don’t be arrogant and think you’ve got it all good. No one is perfect.

9.Look at those who have less than you in worldly matters. Don’t look at those who have more than you. Only then will you be grateful. Remember, the more you complain about things, the harder things will be for you. Learn to look for the positive in every negative.

10.When you feel sad after you’ve sinned or done wrong, be happy because your heart is not dead. It’s a gift from the Almighty to be able to tell right from wrong. Beware the dead heart that is numb; it keeps sinning repeatedly and doesn’t feel an iota of guilt.

11.Almighty. On the first Friday in #Ramadan we ask You to make it easy for us to do good & help us avoid the bad in all situations. Grant us success in this life & the next. Bless us, guide us, & unite our hearts. Make us among those who put full trust in You for everything.

12.You don’t need people’s approval to be happy. Read that again. If they have issues with you, it’s not about you, it’s about their insecurities. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Let it go or you’ll end up frustrated. Get your approval from the Almighty.

13.Keep asking the Almighty to help us realize our #Ramadan goal in getting closer to Him. Soften the hearts of those who’ve yet to feel the sweetness of this month; don’t let them give in to despair. Give them the strength to keep trying. Grant us Your Mercy and Forgiveness.

14.Your journey is between you and the Almighty. Not everyone is going to understand it. That’s okay. You can’t expect them to anyway. They might mock, ridicule, laugh or even jeer at you. Stay focused. Paradise is not for the faint-hearted.

15.A person who is content with what the Almighty provides for him will enjoy tranquility, satisfaction & peace of mind, as he does not long for what others have, or desire what he does not possess. If you’re content with what He has given you, you’ll be the richest person.
