life lesson by mufti menk-171

 

1.No matter how sad or how low you feel, don’t opt for a temporary high by going against what the Almighty has prescribed. It won’t last and you’ll end up feeling worse. It will rob you of your peace and gain His Wrath.

2.Be the first to apologize for your mistakes. You’ll never learn anything or impress anyone by making excuses & shifting the blame. Treat everyone with dignity & respect. You may be successful, but that doesn’t make you better than anyone else.

3.Learn to listen with your heart. Focus on the positive, the good that’s happening, the blessings the Almighty has bestowed on you & soon you’ll be living a life of gratitude & praise. It will change your outlook forever.

4.Every stage of life you’re at, is preparing you for the next level. Be content with what is and what’s to come. The Almighty has planned it all. So even if you seem to be in a hopeless situation and feel vulnerable, remember it will come to pass and be okay in the end.

5.Don’t be consumed by materialism. The trouble is it's never enough. As a result, one can be easily controlled by those who are wealthy and have a lot to offer. Stop comparing yourself with others. Learn to be content and remember, material things will NOT make you content.

6.Remember there’s no problem that cannot be solved or resolved. Life throws us curveballs on occasion and more often than not, what we worry about is not even important in the long term. Always seek guidance and strength from the One who has the answer to all our problems.

7.Don’t curse a bad experience or tragedy that happened in your life. Remember, everything is designed by the Almighty so you can learn life lessons and move forward readily. The best thing you can do is to embrace it and put it to good use. He only wants the best for you.

8.Almighty. Make this blessed day a day of renewal of our faith in our heart & actions, a day of repentance & day to get closer to You. Forgive our sins, those which we commited knowingly & the ones we commited out of ignorance. May we never lose hope in Your Mercy. Aameen.

9.Almighty. As pilgrims gather in Arafah on this Great Day of Hajj, we pray that You grant them ease & accept their acts of worship. Keep them safe in their journey and protect each and every pilgrim on this very special Hajj. Aameen. ‬

10.Your mind can be your worst enemy. Train it well. Don’t dwell on negativity. Don’t let Satan take control. Always ask the Almighty to make you accept the things you can’t change. Submit to His Decree. When you’re able to achieve that, you’ll reach a state of calmness & serenity.

11.Being happy & being content are two different things. Happiness is fleeting, it comes & goes, comes mainly from the outside. Contentment comes from a deeper place. You’re at peace with what the Almighty has bestowed on you, no matter what your circumstances. You trust Him fully.

12.You become what you constantly think about. If you think you can’t, you probably won’t make it. If you think you’re a failure, you’ll end up not doing anything significant in life. If you think negative thoughts always, you’ll end up with negative results. Guard your thoughts.

13.Do remember that not everything about you is meant to be disclosed to everyone. Keep private things private. Be discerning. It will keep you from a ton of trouble and disappointment in the end.

14.Complaining to others and stressing over our problems will not solve them. The Almighty knows the best solutions to our problems. We just need to trust Him, seek His assistance and not anyone else. Keep asking Him. He will respond.

15.Delays, disappointment and detours are all part of the Almighty’s Plan. You have to understand that. Valuable lessons will be taught along the way. You should try to learn as many of them. Not only will you emerge stronger, you’ll also be grateful for all He’s put you through.
