 1. Trust the Almighty to fix everything. In His own time. Our job is to trust and live each day to the best of our ability. Remember, He promises ease after hardship. Be patient. 2. Don't be bothered by what people think and say about you. As you grow older, you realise that all you need is to protect your peace. Let them say whatever they want and think whatever they will. Let the Almighty deal with them. 3. Almighty. Make our last deeds our best deeds. Make our last prayer our best prayer. Take us when You’re most pleased with us. Grant us Your Paradise without reckoning. Aameen. 4. You may have broken your promise to the Almighty hundreds of times, but His Mercy is limitless & He is always waiting to forgive. Again & again. For as long as you’re repenting & turning back to Him, that’s all that matters. 5. Keep going. Don’t quit. You’ve come this far. The difficult days will make way for happier days soon enough. Remember, nothing lasts. When you feel that you can’t ...

  1. Don’t feel miserable and depressed when people misunderstand and reject you. It’s part of the Almighty’s plan to make you realize that you shouldn’t rely on His Creation but only on the One who created you. 2. Almighty. Grant us the strength and patience to face the challenges sent our way. You are our only hope. Without You, we have no one and nothing. Guide us every step of the way. We know You have our backs. Grant us success. Aameen. 3. You can’t change the past but you can build on it. Do not obsess over "if only". It’s the trick of Satan. Just focus on "what’s next". We don’t know what lies ahead but the Almighty does. Be optimistic and trust His plans. 4. What the heart sees, the mind preserves. Be careful. That’s why it’s important to lower the gaze. Letting the gaze go astray makes the heart blind; it can’t tell between truth & falsehood. It also cloaks the heart with darkness while lowering the gaze clothes it in light. 5. You didn’t get what you...

  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 Almigh...

 1. Almighty, as the Hajj begins, we ask You to safeguard the health and well-being of all pilgrims. Protect them from any sickness and grant them a safe and fulfilling pilgrimage. Protect the pilgrims from extreme weather and danger and keep them under Your Divine care. Aameen. 2. Why do you worry what others are saying about you behind your back? If the Almighty is for you and He helps you, no one can defeat you. Go forth and do what you do best. 3. Learn to listen more and speak less. Learn to observe more and react less. You’ll be able to pick up a lot more than if you were busy speaking and reacting. And trust me, it would save you from a whole lot of trouble. 4. Stop worrying. Stop overthinking. Stop being pessimistic. If you trust the Almighty as you say you do, then put in your best effort and leave the rest to Him. He will work it out for you according to His timing. Not yours. 5. Never tire of doing good, even small acts. We often hear people say that no one notices any...

  1. Why the need to publish and publicize everything? Keep your life low key and let them assume what they want; almost always incorrectly. 2. Do you find yourself facing trial after trial, hardship after hardship? Don’t despair. Bear good patience and keep exalting the Almighty. He will make a way out for you; from all your trials and tribulations. It’s only a matter of time. Don’t lose hope in His Mercy. Soldier on. 3. When you wake, give thanks to the One who allowed you another day. Not all have their souls returned to them after sleeping. You’re one of the chosen ones. Seize the day; spread kindness & goodness wherever you go because tomorrow may never come. 4. You can reboot your life many times over and start afresh but if the program doesn’t involve the Almighty, you’ll be back to square one in no time, with no progress being made at all. So never leave Him out of your equation if you want success, both in this world and the next. 5. Run your own race. Stop comparing y...

 1. In this day and age, it’s easy to be misunderstood. People may put words into your mouth. That’s why it’s extremely important to pause and think before saying something to someone. 2. When you regret your sins, feel sad for having committed them and feel pain when you remember them, these are signs of faith and sincere repentance. However, after repenting, Satan will cause you to doubt the Almighty’s Mercy. Don’t despair. Don’t fall for his trick. Move on. 3. Goodness and kindness. Spread this everywhere you go. Life’s too short to be doing otherwise. 4. Almighty. Keep our hope alive in these turbulent times. We are nothing without You. Help us to stay calm and face the obstacles ahead. Give us the strength & will to confront life’s challenges. Nothing will happen without Your Will. Only You can help us move forward. 5. Be genuine. Be sincere. There’s too much fake in the world around us today. Be real. Be yourself. 6. Shame on you! You killed them at home, in the hospitals...

  1. Almighty. We ask for Your healing over every part of our lives; physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We ask that You make us strong and resilient to face the days ahead. Grant us Your favour. We lay our hope in You. Be our strength and refuge in times of distress. 2. Have you ever been so bogged down by your problems that you think you’re the only one facing them. Remember, there’s a reason why things happen the way they do. The Almighty has a plan for everything that you experience. Sooner or later, you’ll see the light of day & thank Him. 3. There’s no place for arrogance in this world. Remember, your final destination here is your grave. 4. Don’t be easily impressed by social status, job titles and the likes. Many have these but it has never got them far in life. Why? Because they lack basic human decency. Remember, how you treat people speaks volumes about you. The Almighty’s watching. 5. Should the world become desensitized to the horrific events in the...
