  1. We all make mistakes. There are no exceptions. The people we’re dealing with may be new to what they are doing, not feeling well, or coping with personal issues & are doing their best to carry on. Giving them a chance to make it right could be the small respite they need. 2. For every pain you endure, For every fear that grips your heart, For every worry that keeps you awake, For every loss that you grieve over, For anything & everything that you can’t handle, Leave it to the Lord of the Worlds. He’s the best disposer of our affairs. 3. Almighty. Grant us Your Mercy, relieve our fears and anxieties, remove our distress and let peace reign in our hearts. Bestow upon us patience and wisdom in the trials You send our way. Keep us firm in faith in these trying times. Aameen. ‬ 4. When faced with a problem that’s getting you down, try to see it from a different perspective. What is the Almighty teaching you in all this? What’s the bigger lesson you’re meant to be learni...

1.  Whenever you feel sad, be comforted knowing that nothing lasts. The Almighty will do what's best for you. Be patient. Your reward is Paradise, no less.‬ 2. The Almighty is making you wait perhaps because the more you wait, the more you’ll appreciate what you’re going to get. Maybe He just doesn’t want you to be ungrateful. He wants you to value the gifts He’s going to send you & He’ll do that only when He knows you’re ready. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Society may no...

  1. You want inner peace? Don’t worry about what others may think of you or whatever people may say. Lower your expectation of others. Don’t be distracted by the petty talk people may throw at you. Focus on what you want to achieve and keep going. 2. The Almighty puts different people in our lives for different reasons. No one is there by accident. Learn to identify the people He has placed in your life and be sensitive to the purpose they serve. Some won’t be there forever. There is a time, place and purpose for everything. 3. Almighty. Protect us from being leaking buckets; those who engage in bad deeds just after doing good. May we not be among those who pray, fast and give charity but curse, swear, gossip and backbite without batting an eyelid. Help us stay away from such behaviour.‬ 4. Beware the ego. It can ruin you, make you arrogant and cause you to hold on to your mistakes. You refuse to budge and listen to reason. Don't fall into the trap. 5. Beware the ego. It can ruin...

 1. To fail does not make you a failure. It teaches and reminds you that the Almighty’s plan is better than yours. His plan always prevails. He’ll send you signs and redirect you. 2. Don’t compete with the one you see on social media. That’s most likely NOT real life. Just be yourself. Never mind if it’s not glamorous.‬ 3. Do you feel that life is unfair & people are treating you badly? Well, remember, the Almighty knows the truth. Let people do what they will; you can’t control them. But the Lord of the Worlds is always in full control. Do your best & trust Him to protect you from them. 4. We are all facing the storms of life but we are not all in the same boat. Some have fancy yachts and vessels. Others are rowing in canoes. Some can’t keep afloat and are drowning. Be kind to those who cross your path. You’ve no idea what they’re going through. 5. When you stain your tongue with slander, backbiting and gossip, your spirituality goes down significantly. You may think you’r...

  1. For a calm and more peaceful life, quit listening to gossip and learn to ignore what others are saying about you. Look for the good in everything. Learn to be positive and spread goodness. Always remember to be grateful for your life. And let the Almighty handle everything else. 2. Some people can be very difficult to deal with. They will hurt you with their words and actions. It’s easy to just be angry and shut them out of your lives. But at times you can’t. They may be family members. Remember, they are a test from the Almighty. Will you be patient? 3. Don’t waste your effort worrying about what people will think or say about you. It’s a futile exercise and it’s wrong to waste precious time like that. Instead, use that time wisely; do meaningful work, help someone. Spread goodness & kindness which can have a ripple effect. 4. Your battles have resonated with millions across the globe who struggle to exercise their freedom to cover, even in the West. As a result of your e...

 1. Stop reacting to all that's said to you. Take it in and reason it out to see if it needs a response. If it does, respond kindly. If not, let it go and move on. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble. 2. If you're blessed with wealth, use it wisely. You'll be envied but do all the good you can. The Almighty’s given you a huge responsibility. Don’t waste the opportunity. 3. If you want to know something about me, ask me. Don’t ask others. They’re NOT me. They’ve NOT walked in my shoes & don’t know the real me. 4. Don’t be obsessed with being perfect. We are all perfectly imperfect and a work in progress. Just do your best and leave the rest to the Almighty. 5. Sometimes the Almighty makes you fall so you can find your strength after falling. So be prepared for life to push you down. Pick yourself up, learn the lesson and carry on with your journey. 6. Fix yourself in such a way that whatever the Almighty sends your way, you’ll be fine. You know it’s His Decree. You...
