  1. Burning a sacred book in public proves that they can’t refute any part of it in any way. Even if they tried. If at all there was a single word they could prove wrong, they would have never felt the need to burn it. Why incite others by burning what is sacred to them? By doing so, they’ve already lost the argument! 2. Don’t worry about how people act. That’s on them not you. Always choose kindness, that’s under your control. Spread it far and wide, whichever way you can, even if it means giving a smile or a word of encouragement. Never underestimate how contagious being kind can be. 3. Man is always comparing. We often feel the other person is in a much better state than we are. Instead of accepting & appreciating what we have, we always find a way to look at what others have. Be wary. In trying to achieve something better, one may end up losing what one has. 4. Don’t let the opinion of others steal your confidence or cause you to cut back on whatever good you’re doing. Let...

  1. Even if all doors seem closed & you feel like you’re facing a dead end, the Almighty can & will provide alternative solutions to your problem. Keep a look out for new opportunities. Often we are so hung up on the closed doors that we fail to see what’s there. 2. At times, we feel we can’t carry on; it’s hard to keep going with such anxious thoughts running through our minds. Almighty, grant us peace and a calm heart. Help us to surrender our worries, fears and anxieties to You, Grant us guidance. Remind us constantly that we're not alone. 3. The next time you find yourself looking at others on social media and yearning for their lifestyle, stop & think. Is it fair to compare your life with theirs when you’re only seeing a portion of the life they want you to see. You don’t have the full story. 4. Your ability to see the glass half full rather than half empty is the key to being happy and appreciating where you are in life. Gratitude is key. The Almighty will bestow...

 1. Storms in life are inevitable. They’re a test from the Almighty. So stop trying to calm the storm. Calm yourselves. The storm will pass. The Almighty is in control. 2. Whatever pain you’re going through, remember, it’s building you, not breaking you. Nothing is easy in this life. No matter what’s happening, stay connected with the Almighty. He will never abandon you. 3. Patience is a quality of the heart. The more patient you are, the better the outcome. An effective way to strengthen patience is through the link with your Creator. Don't lose that link. Exercise patience for His sake and He won’t let you down in your darkest moments. 4. Know that the Almighty will always heal you. When you feel alone and wounded, arm yourself with faith, patience, prayer and hope. Turn towards Him. 5. In life, you have to keep moving; no stops, no rest. That’s for the next life. If you want the Almighty to give you what you want, then do as He has asked of you. 6. Don’t allow the hectic pace ...

1.  Where you are today isn’t where you will stay. Nothing lasts. The Almighty has promised us.‬ Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise with each new day. Keep hope alive in your heart. He’s always with you. 2. Don’t dislike people just because you’ve heard something bad about them. Always give them the benefit of the doubt. Would you like others to do that to you? Surely you don’t want to be condemned by those you’ve not even met? Be fair. The Almighty loves those who are fair-minded.‬ 3. The best arguments are those that you avoid. Try your best to stay out of arguing when it’s worthless and can lead to enmity. But they can be commendable when they're intended to show the truth or to direct others to the truth. Be respectful and choose your battles wisely. 4. Don’t waste your good deeds by showing off or reminding others what you’ve done. You should do it sincerely for the sake of the Almighty ; without being stingy or afraid that it would decrease your wealth. And...

  1. If you haven't yet received hate on social media, including from those you least expect, then you haven't truly made your mark... yet. 2. Never think that all the prayers you’ve been making are wasted. Nothing ever goes to waste with the Almighty. He’s got everything under control. The dreams you’ve been wanting so badly will come when He knows you’re ready for it. He can give you better than you had prayed for. 3. Just as the Almighty opens doors nobody can shut for you, He also shuts doors that nobody can open. So at times, no matter how hard you try or how badly you want something, it just won’t happen. Understand this. 4. Be careful of arrogance. It can come in many forms. There are arrogant people who feel they’re all powerful. They attribute all their achievements and success to their own capabilities & neglect the Almighty in the whole equation. Darkness and disbelief cover their hearts. 5. Not everyday will be smooth sailing. There will be bumpy rides and life ...

We lay our trust in You. 3. Trust the Almighty unconditionally. Remember, He made you. He knows everything about you. Don’t try to figure out everything on your own. You won’t be able to anyway.

He is going to ensure that things fall into place. He is g...

  1. Do you wonder why everyone else seems happy but you. You see this on social media & you’re finding it hard to come to terms with it. You can’t achieve the lifestyle you want but you see others have. You need to get back to real life. Stop the comparison. 2. Not everyone will want the best for you. That’s life. The same people who wanted you to rise may feel threatened by your success. Don’t be surprised if their cheers turn to boos. Some don’t like seeing others do better than them because it shows up their weakness. 3. Almighty. You are our comfort & strength in good times & during sudden disaster & crisis. Grant ease to those who’ve lost loved ones in the recent earthquake & floods. Lift those who’ve fallen, sustain the rescue workers. Fill us with hope; may we never despair of Your Mercy. 4. Quit worrying about what people think. Honestly, it doesn’t matter. They’re entitled to their thoughts. At the end of your life, you're not going to stand before peo...

  1. People will speculate, they’ll think the worst of you, they’ll judge, assume, gossip & backbite. When told the truth, most won’t even bother to correct themselves. Such is the state of humankind today. Protect yourself. Stay away from such sinful acts. 2. Almighty. Protect us from the evils around us. Grant us strength and good patience to cope with our trials. Help us surrender to Your Decree because You know what we don’t. You know us better than we do. You know what we need. You know what’s best for us. 3. Keep asking the Almighty for the courage to move forward, the strength to go through our hardships and trials and to have firm faith in Him that everything will turn out fine in the end. Aameen. ‬ 4.
