life lesson by mufti menk-256

 

1.Don’t fear your struggles. Face them head on. They’re part of life. Sacrifice in order to emerge from your life tests in a way that’s pleasing to the Almighty. Remember, we will ALL be tested. There are no exceptions.

2.Each time you feel dejected and defeated by your trials, remember that this world never spared the prophets and the righteous. They too faced their share of injustice. So don’t waste your time expecting the world to give you a pat on your shoulder.

3.Don’t feel disappointed. It's natural to stumble, lose some hope & get impatient during life's challenges. It can happen to anyone. But if we remember that it’s part of the Almighty’s Plan, we will see things in perspective. We will sooner or later realise the hidden blessings behind the trials.

4.If you want to change for the better, work on yourself quietly. Growth is usually quiet. You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. Let them wonder what’s going on. It’s not their business anyway. The Almighty knows and that’s enough.

5.When the Almighty gives you a new beginning, don’t repeat the same mistake. Instead have a heart filled with gratitude and thank Him for the second chance you’ve been given. Remember, not everyone gets it.

6.Just because they’re in your circle doesn’t mean they’re your real friends. Be careful who you befriend. Just because they hang out with you doesn’t mean they won’t stab you in the back. Pay attention to how they behave and react. You’ll be able to pick up the signs.

7.How can the world sit back and watch the worst genocide in modern history? Where is our humanity? Where is justice? Where is the value of human life or basic human rights? As educated as we think we are, if we don't have humanity in us, we have nothing.

8.Almighty. You’re the only One who knows the trials and tribulations we are facing right now. Only You know our pain & discomfort. Only You know our grief and sorrow. Only You have the power to heal us, grant hope in our hearts and make us whole again. Aameen.

9.Our wants are limitless. If money is what you love, you'll never get enough. If wealth is what you adore, you'll always be wanting more. That's human. But learn to live moderately. Never hoard. Give generously and the blessings will be immense.

10.Don't kick someone when he's already down. You wouldn’t want that done to you. Be kind, motivate, lend a hand, say a positive word, do what it takes for it can go a long way. Be the rainbow in someone else’s cloud.

11.This life is short. Make it a point to touch lives and hearts whenever you get the opportunity. Give, forgive and apologise. If you find difficulty doing it, make a commitment and start during these blessed days. Channel your energy to things that matter.

12.Wishing you a Blessed Eid Al Adha. After intense days of worship, I wish you a joyous time with your family and loved ones. Amid the strife and suffering going on around us, spare a thought for the less fortunate as you celebrate. Say a prayer for them.

13.Make this blessed Day of Arafah, a day of renewal of faith in your heart and actions. Make it a day of repentance and a day to get closer to the Almighty. May He accept it from us. Aameen. ‬

14.Almighty Allah. Grant the pilgrims gathered in Arafah on this blessed Day of Hajj, ease and accept their acts of worship. May it be a day of total forgiveness for all. Aameen.‬

15.No matter what difficulties you’re facing, know that the Almighty has your back. He’s there even when things seem hopeless. He’s there even when the circumstances are darker than you ever imagined.‬ He’s there when everyone has given up on you. Place your trust and hope in Him.
