Do you find yourself getting more impatient? The truth is social media makes us impatient. It rushes us to want what others have, to be the person you see on your timeline, to live someone else’s life. Learn to be content with what you have. Appreciate the person that you are.
Are you among those who’ll spend most of your time fixing other people’s problems but your life’s a mess? Remember, charity begins at home. The best way to help others is to help yourself first. Invest your time in being a better version of yourself; everything else will follow.
Don’t look for quick fix solutions. Short cuts will get you nowhere at least in your personal development. Moreover, quick fixes often backfire. The road to improving ourselves is one that’s long, continuous & persistent. It requires time, commitment, self discipline & hard work.
The challenges you face in life can make you a stronger person. It also cultivates patience, a trait that is so loved by the Almighty. How you deal with challenges says a lot about you. Learn from them; apply them to your life or keep whining about it wishing it never happened!
Some people will hate you because of what you’ve achieved in life. They want what you have but make no effort to do anything about it. They resort to spreading rumours & gossip about you. This is a test from the Almighty. Don’t retaliate. Let the good you do speak for itself!
We all, irrespective of our faith, need to learn from the Prophet life and teachings. Prophet is not just for Muslims, but for all. He is not just Rahmatul Muslimeen. He is Rahmatul Alameen. A rahmat for the entire alam, the entire world!

Prophet's last sermon in 632 AD again emphasised equality for all:
"An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab. A white person has no superiority over a black, (or vice versa) except by piety & good action." #ProphetofCompassion
Along with social justice, Prophet also spoke of economic justice, and proclaimed that one has to pay their workers on time, even before their sweat from the work dries!

Hazrat Bilal (R.A.) was made the first muezzin, the one who gives the azaan & calls out people for prayer. To give someone from black community such a position was unthinkable then. And, mind you this is 1400 yrs before the civil rights movement in the US. #ProphetofCompassion
