life lesson by mufti menk-272

 

1.Don’t despair in times of hardship and calamity. Pray that the Almighty allows peace and justice to prevail. Pray for an end to conflict and violence. Pray that those in power would go all out to stop the violence. Aameen.

2.Almighty. Protect us from displeasing You. Help those who have gone off track to get back to You. Soften their hearts so they may connect with You again. Constantly remind us that we’re dependent on You & not ourselves.

3.Almighty. You’re the Turner of Hearts. You can heal us in a moment. You can forgive in an instant. You can make the impossible a reality! May we always be ever grateful for everything You’ve bestowed on us! Aameen. ‬

4.The truth is nobody will truly understand what you’re going through except the Almighty. He knows you better than you know yourself. He’s the only One who knows your true circumstances and is always available when you need Him. He will heal you and make you whole again.

5.Don't kick someone when he's already down. You wouldn’t want that done to you. Be kind; motivate, a pat on the back, a positive word can go a long way. Be the silver lining in someone’s cloud.

6.Stop stressing when others give up on you, walk out on you and turn their backs on you. It’s not the end of the world. The Almighty will see to it that you weather the storms in life if you bear beautiful patience and trust Him. Don’t hesitate.

7.Before you start finding fault with someone, stop in your tracks and ask yourself: which fault of yours resembles the one you’re about to criticise. In this way, you’re always concerned about your faults and how to improve them, leaving no time to worry about someone else’s.

8.Wishing you a Blessed Eid-ul Adha. Amid the strife and suffering going on around us, spare a thought for the less fortunate as you celebrate with loved ones! Keep them in your prayers.

9.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.‬

10.Don’t waste time engaging in sin. 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.

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

12.Almighty. Grant us the strength to give up something for Your sake. Help us understand the true meaning of sacrifice. May we achieve the benefits of these ten days & may You accept the sincere efforts of those making Hajj.‬

13.As I embark on my journey for the Hajj after 24 years, I seek the forgiveness of Allah for my shortcomings and ask you to forgive me too. Hajj is meant to purify us and wipe away our sins. May Allah make me a better person, closer to Him and worthy of His Mercy! Aameen

14.Almighty. Grant us Your Mercy and allow us to grasp the immense significance of these ten blessed days. We ask You to accept our deeds done solely for You and to forgive our shortcomings. Aameen.
