life lesson by mufti menk-170

 1.Don’t keep grudges & bad feelings in your heart. It will upset you & weigh you down. It won’t change anything & you’ll end up feeling miserable. Let it all go. Keep your heart light. Let Him take care of it. Your health will improve & your faith in the Almighty will strengthen.

2.Everyone’s journey is different. Don’t look at someone and make your own assumptions because there are many who are silently going on with life because they can’t express their pain. The ones who need a break from it all, those who are facing trial after trial. Pray for healing.

3.Some love to blame others when things are not going their way. Looking for a scapegoat is easy. Blaming keeps people from having to look at what they did to get into the mess. But it takes real courage to admit fault and show remorse. Only then are we able to grow.

4.When you’ve wronged someone, don’t try to turn the tables and make yourself the wronged party. You may think you’re getting away with it but the Almighty knows. In fact, you should be afraid because when it all comes back to you, the truth will come out. He knows best.

5.Your wealth, your children, your beauty, your power should never make you arrogant. Remember, like a bolt from the blue, the Almighty can take everything away. Anytime. But if you want something that lasts, choose humility and kindness.

6.For as long you’re alive, keep hope alive. Hope in the Mercy of the Almighty. Hope that He wants what’s best for you & will give it to you at the right time. So whatever you’re facing - trials, stress, broken affairs, have hope that they’re all temporary. Better days are ahead.

7.Pray! Pray! Pray! The more you worship the Almighty, the less you will worry. You'll see things clearer. You will become a more patient person and you’ll be less pressured by the stress of this world. You'll lead a much better life.

8.There is way too much competition in the world today. Few people want to work together and help each other succeed. Instead, we get envious when others do well. This is wrong. Be happy for others.

9.Every day, we face a lot of pressure to be what society wants of us but life is not made like that. We go through highs & lows; we get tested. That’s the way it is. But when we seek strength from the Almighty, He gives us the courage & what we need to carry on.

10.When everything seems to be going wrong, that’s when you need to persevere even more. Remember with hardship, comes ease.

11.You know you’ll be tested regularly so how do you react to the challenges of life? Get angry, stressed out & sink into depression or respond with beautiful patience; knowing the Almighty will grant you victory when you put full faith in Him and do your best.

12.Remember, the Almighty doesn't make mistakes in His Plans. Every hardship you’ve experienced has served to make you the person that you are today. There are valuable lessons in everything that happens to you. Stop asking why it happened and focus on how you should respond.

14.Almighty. Keep us steadfast in our prayers and worship done solely for You. Grant us humility and submission always, never showing off or feeling that we’re more pious than the person next to us. Protect us from being arrogant and to never judge others.

15.You can’t choose your family. The Almighty has done that for you. So learn to give and take as much as possible. Remind and guide when you can. Remain respectful and keep the peace. It’s not easy. But know that breaking the ties of kinship is a huge sin.

16.You’re going through problem after problem. You keep asking the Almighty. Nothing happens. You’re facing depression, sickness, financial issues, marital problems. Why is He taking so long to respond? He’s aware! You have to trust Him. His planning and timing is perfect.

17.Your faith will be tested again and again. It’s easy to believe when things are going your way, when the path is rosy. But the true test comes when the Almighty puts obstacles in your way. Do you become disobedient & defiant or do you submit to Him, be patient and ride it out?

18.It’s only human to feel frustrated and dejected when things aren’t going our way. We feel like we’re carrying the weight of the world on our backs. We may think the Almighty is not answering our prayers, but He is answering them; just not the way we want.

19.Hypocrites love to gossip, they love to know what everyone else is doing. They may even make up gossip if it’s not juicy enough. It can be hurtful and upsetting when you are the subject of the untruthful stories. Confront them peacefully and pray for them.

20.The real test of sincerity is to see if a person will help you even if he knows he will get nothing in return from you. The truth is anyone can help when there’s something to gain in return; but to help when there’s nothing to be gained shows true love & a beautiful heart.

21.Be prepared to have the most unexpected people let you down. It’s bound to happen at some stage. Amid all this, be yourself and spread goodness as much as possible but don’t expect goodness from everyone.

22.You're human. You don’t have to be strong all the time. You’re allowed to be overwhelmed, sad, cry, fall down and get back up again. The most important thing is not to lose your link with your Maker. He has a reason for everything. You’ll emerge much stronger.

23.Each time we're hurt, we tend to blame others. It's always someone else's fault. Don’t fall into that trap. Learn to be accountable. Take charge of your life and your own shortcomings. The Almighty knows the truth. Don't blame the innocent.

24.We’ve all felt like a failure at times. But don’t drown in that feeling. Remember, the battles you’ve won, the setbacks you’ve overcome, the trials you’ve gone through. The Almighty promised that nothing would last. Keep hope alive & carry on. He’s always watching over you.

25.Society may not tolerate second chances. It can be unforgiving when you make mistakes. But the Almighty is ever ready to give you a fresh start when you turn back to Him. Whatever you need He has for you: healing, forgiveness and peace. Seek Him for a new beginning.
