life lesson by mufti menk-220

 

1.Almighty. On this blessed day, we ask You to keep us on the straight path. Protect us from being misled by the lies and trickery of this world. ‬Show us the truth as truth and allow us to follow it. Show us what’s wrong as wrong and help us to avoid it. Aameen

2.When you believe, it doesn’t mean the road ahead is smooth all the way. Far from it. Expect the Almighty to test you if you’re indeed true to your word. Remember, faith is not the belief that He will do what you want, it is the confidence in knowing that He will do what’s best.

3.Wishing you a Blessed Eid-ul Adha. After intense days of worship, I wish you a joyous time with your family and loved ones. Do spare a thought for the less fortunate as you celebrate.

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.Let us make this blessed #DayofArafah, a day of renewal of faith in our hearts and actions. Make it a day of repentance and a day to get closer to the Almighty. May He accept it from us. Aameen.

6.Don't miss out on the most blessed day of Hajj, Arafah. Fast to expiate sins of the past year and the year to come. Supplicate sincerely. Do everything for the sake of the Almighty. He has promised great rewards.‬

7.When you want to give advice, do so in such a way that people would want to listen to you. Don’t be mean and hurtful. Don’t use harsh words. Don’t put people down. Be genuine and nurturing in wanting to correct them, mend their ways and help them get back on track. ‬

8.There are people who won’t hesitate to provoke you, trying their best to bring out the worst in you. When they’ve achieved that, they’ll play the victim and make you feel bad. Be mindful of such people. They really need help. Try your best to remain calm. Keep your composure.

9.You have the chance to start anew every day when the Almighty returns your soul to you after sleep. It’s up to you to decide today how you want to live your life; in His pleasure or displeasure. You have a duty to fulfil. Make it a good one.

10.Look back on your life & think; did the Almighty not bring you through some tough times? Those difficult days you never thought you would emerge from and see the light? Not only did He get you through them, He also taught you how to do better the next time; so stop worrying.

11.On this blessed day, may we have the strength to give up something for the sake of the Almighty. In return, we can expect something good. Our faith in Him will be strengthened. May we achieve the benefits of these ten days & may He accept the sincere efforts of those making Hajj.‬

12.Stop complaining, making excuses & blaming others for what’s going on in your life. It’s easy to look for scapegoats. But a mature person realizes that whatever happens is mostly a result of previous choices made. For change to occur, you need to make new choices.

13.Don’t waste the most blessed days. Ten days will go quickly so be sure to fill them with as much good as possible. The Almighty gives us these periods of spiritual boosts throughout the year. So purify your intent, make a plan and you’re on the way to accomplish much.
