Don't sell your Akhirah for the dunya! All of us do investments in this life, and it is something good to do as long as it's halal. But the question is, what investments have we done for the Akhirah?
Almighty. Grant ease to those facing hardship. You know their needs better than anyone else. You know their pain, anxieties, worries & fears. We pray for them. Bless & heal them from all the hurt. Refill them with strength & restore their hope! Ameen!
The Prophet (ﷺ) came across ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud whilst he was sad, and said to him:
“Do not increase your anxiety. That which is decreed occurs and that which is provided shall come to you.”
[Shu’ab al Iman 1188]
The more you give the Quran, the more the Quran will give you. When you open it up, say to yourself, “That’s the words of my Lord. That’s the words of the One I’m going to meet. That’s the words of the One who created me". I need to read it. Give it my time and my focus.
Whatever happens, even when all your plans fail and all doors seem shut, cry out to the Almighty, the All-Knowing, seek refuge in the Him. He'll find a way out for you. Trust Him.
Every dua will be answered?
“Every one of you will have his supplications answered, as long as he is not impatient and he says: I have supplicated but I was not answered.”
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
[Sahih Bukhari]
Convince your heart that Allah is always responding to your prayers in the best way for your unique circumstances, even when we may not see or comprehend His methods. Trust in His wisdom and timing.
As Imam al Ghazali (ra) said, “As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good; I was actually being re-directed to something better. You must convince your heart that whatever God has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.”
What's the reward of patience?
“...Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without measure.” (Surah Az Zumar 39: Verse 10)
There is noway to measure the reward SubhanAllah!!
Your struggles are not a sign of weakness but proof that the Almighty has given you sufficient strength. He loves you. Every test is a step towards something greater. Embrace it.
During your downfall. Pay close attention to people’s behavior. Some will support you. Some will disappear. Some will kick you while you’re down. When you rise again, remember who was who. Never forget the people who showed you their true character.

Be Desperate and Confident in your Du'as. Dua is such a powerful weapon for a believer. Ask for the impossible. Ask for big things. Ask for what scares you to even say out loud. Ask shamelessly. Beg Allah. Believe fully. You're not asking people; you're asking Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Nothing is too big for my Perfect Rabb.
Allah knows.
Everything; your happiness and your sorrows.
Your worries and insecurities. Your doubts and your fears. Your goodness and everything lesser than it. Return to him, ask for strength, ask for peace and ask for him to be in your heart. It will all be okay.
